BLACKSTONE VALLEY MEMORIES November 19

1982 Rodney Woodruff passed for two touchdowns and

rushed a two-point conversion to lead the Woodlawn Cowboys to a 14-6 victory over the Seekonk Tigers to clinch the R. I. Pre-Teen Football League Varsity Division regular season pennant. A Woodruff-to-Jimmy Burgess eight-yard aerial in the second quarter closed the gap to an 8-6 deficit at halftime. The Cowboys won the game in the fourth period when Woodruff flipped a two-yard TD pass to Rubin Lubo.

1992 In womens’ duckpin bowling leagues, Gloria Aptt

rattled the pins for a high single string of 155 and a high three series of 381 for St. Jean’s, Mary Earnshaw rolled a high game of 129 and Peg Coleman a high series of 355 to lead St. Mary’s and Blanche Ferguson took top honors with a 145 string and a 347 series for St. Leo’s.

2002 Peter Pan, Tricia Pan and Jen LeClair of Pawtucket

gave exceptional showings at the Eastern Surfing Association’s Holiday Surfabout at the Narragansett Town Beach. Peter won the Senior Longboard division, Tricia copped the Junior Women’s title and LeClair seized the Women’s longboard title. The surf was a consistent 2-3 feet, but 30-45 knot gusts made for close-out surf and flying surfboards, while the wind chill dropped the temperatures into the low teens.
