South Jersey Soccer:
Vineland Hurricanes Tame Upper Twp. Raptors

Sunday, November 8, 1998

By Jerry Amari
SJSports Special Correspondent

The Vineland Hurricanes hit the road for Upper Twp. to meet the Raptors. The Hurricanes put together their biggest and best offensive performance of the Fall season. Vineland jumped on the Raptors early in the match. At the four minute mark, Vineland's Billy Redden launched his second cornerkick of the day at the Upper Twp. goal. The ball needled its way through most of the players to defender Evan Bostrom. Bostrom "bodied" the ball into the goal for a 1-0 lead. Upper Twp. fought back to knot the game at 1-1.

SJSports Physical Fitness Advisor

The largest, heaviest bone in the body is the femur, which is covered with lots of muscle. Just think, in one thigh, the bone and the surrounding muscle can account for 5 to 10 percent of your body weight.
