Fairview Tigers - 1977 - 1981 - 1982 AA

MONROEVILLE - Please do not adjust your cursor or try to scroll to the top of the story because this line is the first line of the story. You can look at the 3 inches above this story in one of two ways.....one would be the Golden Mile Parking lot covered in snow or the other would be what happened in the first two periods of the Class AAA showdown between Gateway and Central Catholic. .......And for Viking coach Kevin Zielmanski, that would just be fine because he probably figured that the more boring the game is the better. Coach Dan Serakowski's Gateway club has put it on some teams this season and has the explosive kind of offense that can snatch victory from defeat as it did against Baldwin in its first game. So coach Z had to like the 0-0 tie after two periods. The most excitement was the near misses by the Vikings Zach Crisafio, who fanned on an opene net at 9:50 of the 2nd and the Gators Zach Flora, who fanned on an open net at 5:29 of the second. At 12:09 of the third period, Central Catholic went on the power play an they would cash in at 10:12 when Crisafio redirected a Michael McGurk pass thorugh the legs of David Himes to give Central a 1-0 lead. The Vikings continue to carry the play to Gateway and with only 1:33 to play Matt Urso scored on the deke past Himes to give CC a huge goal and a 2-0 lead. Urso added an empty netter with :08 left to salt away a 3-0 victory an a shutout for Bryan Adamczyk.
