'79 Lady Rams Reunite

’79 Lady Rams Reunite and Recall Four Straight State Championships.

The glory days of Gloucester Catholic girls’ basketball were recalled when members of the 1979 State Championship team gathered back in the gym for a reunion of one of the greatest teams in South Jersey history.

The Lady Rams went 28-1 that season and won their fourth state Group 1 championship. This team’s four year record was 108 wins and 11 losses.

The team was lead by Reenie Mahon (23.6 ppg); Theresa McGlade (14 pp.) and Annette Angelotti (13 ppg) The other starters were Lori DiPilla and Mary Beth Shikitano. Coached by Tom Inzillo, the team was so strong that senior Katie McPeak, who came off the bench, earned a basketball scholarship to Saint Joseph’s. Trish McNutt, who was a freshman and a future all-South Jersey point guard, was a JV starter and deep varsity reserve.

In their four playoff games, the Lady Rams won by an average margin of 24.5 points, culminating with a 77-46 win over Eastern Christian in the Group 1 state final.

Annette Angelotti Reiter, assistant coach at Rowan University, organized the reunion which was hampered by an impending blizzard. Almost all members of the ’79 team returned to the gym to watch the current Lady Rams play against visiting Moorestown. A gathering followed at the newly refurbished O’Donnell’s Restaurant in Gloucester.
