WILDWOOD – The Wildwood Catholic High School baseball program struggled tremendously last season, going only 6-16.

Kevin Laffey went 2 for 3 with two RBI, Garret Moretti was 1 for 2 with an RBI and Kevin McWade added a hit and two runs scored to pace the Crusader offense.
Meanwhile, Tyler Norris was stellar on the mound for Wildwood Catholic. The sophomore pitched a three-hitter with eight strikeouts, firing more than 130 pitches in the complete-game effort.

Steve DiPatri won more than 350 games and numerous championships in only 15 seasons as the head girls basketball coach at soon-to-be-defunct Sacred Heart High School in Vineland.
Can DiPatri bring the same type of success to another school?
Wildwood Catholic sure hopes so.
In a stunning move made official Friday after a couple of days of speculation that swept through the local basketball community, DiPatri has been named the new head girls basketball coach at the North Wildwood school, Wildwood Catholic athletic director Sal Zuccarello has confirmed.
DiPatri replaces Vicki Dilmore, who led the program for two seasons. Dilmore was informed late this week she would not be brought back as coach, Zuccarello said.
DiPatri is one of the most successful girls basketball coaches in Cape-Atlantic League history. At 352-89 for his career, he is the league’s wins leader among active CAL coaches and is the only boys or girls basketball coach in CAL history with more than 300 wins and less than 100 losses.
