Salesianum’s Mathew Riley is tough enough on face-offs, but in the final minutes of a 10-10 game battling Cape wrestler C.J. Fritchman, the last thing the Vikings needed was to lose the crucial possession on an inadvertent whistle with the possession arrow pointing to Salesianum. Most fans are looking for excitement, not clarification of rules.
The Sals playing at their Abessinio Stadium home and scored with 10 seconds remaining in the game for an 11-10 victory. The fans in the stands were rocking and rolling and trading barbs for 48 minutes. Evidently “Slower Lower” is offensive to beach kids from the richest public school district in the state.
