RED BANK REGIONAL SHUTS DOWN OCEAN’S THOMPSON AS DEFENSE DOMINATES IN UPSET WIN By Mike Ready
OCEAN TOWNSHIP – A year ago in the sixth game of the season, Red Bank Regional – desperately needing a win to make the state playoffs – lost to Ocean Township 14-6 essentially putting an end to their playoff chances. In that game, Ocean’s All-Shore running back Tyler Thompson rushed for 144 yards on 36 carries to dominate the game. But on Friday night, the Buccaneers swarming, ever-pursuing defense shut down Thompson, limiting him to 65 yards rushing on 17 carries - including just 25 yards in the first half - as Red Bank Regional upset Ocean Township 16-6 at the Spartans Albert F Carelli Field. “After last year’s loss to Ocean, this is the game we talked about all summer,” head coach Nick Giglio said. “We were 2-0 last season and didn’t make the playoffs. We kept saying ‘something different had to happen,’ well you know what something did.” In his first two games of the season Thompson torched the opposition for 396 yards on the ground and seven touchdowns averaging 10.7 yards a carry. On Friday night Thompson averaged 3.8 yards a carry.
Red Bank’s defense has now surrendered just 13 points in three games including a 30-0 shutout of Colts last weekend. The Bucs rock-solid defense – led by strongside outside linebacker Chris Outterbridge and strong-side defensive end Sean Naiman - held the Spartan offense to just 73-total first-half yards. “Outerbridge is a two-year starter and Naiman three,” Giglio said. “They’re the guys we count on and they’re just getting better-and-better. Their confidence is high and we’re going to go as far as those guys take us now.” Naiman had a huge 13-yard sack on Ocean’s second possession of the game leading to Ocean’s second of three consecutive punts on their first three possessions. Outterbridge – who seemed to be in on every tackle – had a game changing 28-yard scoop-and-score fumble return for a touchdown on Ocean’s first possession of the fourth quarter to give the Bucs a commanding 16-0 lead with 10:11 remaining in the game. “A lot of people doubted us, so this is a big win for us,” Outterbridge said. “All heads to the ball, that’s how we came into the game. We work on tackling a lot and it paid off tonight.”
“We’ve always believed in ourselves,” Palmer said. “But we just had to put it all together and tonight we did.” Up to that point in the game the Buc defense had allowed just 101 yards of total offense by Ocean. The Spartans offense did finish with 249 total yards but 148 of those yards came in their final two possessions with Red Bank in complete control. “We prepared very well for this offense, we knew they had a great offense,” Naiman said. “We stopped the run game, we stopped Thompson and he’s an impact player. Chris (Outterbridge) and I are both on the strong side and we work well together. As long as our offense keeps scoring this team will go as far as the defense take’s them.” Ocean did attempt to crawl back into the game driving 67 yards for a touchdown with 5:25 left to make it 16-6, but their two point conversion attempt to make it a one score game was no good when Red Bank’s Matt Reardon knocked down a Kenny Pickett pass in the end zone keeping it a two-score game. The game itself was an intensive defensive battle for almost three quarters with
RBR’S #9 SEAN NALMAN TAKES DOWN OCEAN’S QB #2 KENNY PICKETT the Bucs holding a slim 3-0 lead late into the third; but that quickly changed. On the final play of the third quarter on second-and-7 from their own 12yard line Bucs senior quarterback Jack Navitsky found Readon down the left sideline around the 30. Reardon caught the ball reaching over an Ocean defender, out-jumping him in the process, and racing the final 70 yards to complete an 88-yard touchdown play. The extra point was blocked by Ocean’s Greyson Stoothoff as the Bucs took a 9-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Four plays later, Outterbridge picked up Raquan Dean’s lose ball on a reverse to make it 16-0 in the blink of an eye with 10:11 remaining in the game.
RED BANK REGIONAL’S #6 SADIQ PALMER Photos by: Fran Attardi
Navitsky finished 7-of-9 for 188 yards and one touchdown. He connected with Syracuse-bound wide receiver Sadiq Palmer five times for 85 yards – all in the first half. The 6-foot-2, 185 pound Palmer has the potential to score from anywhere on the field at any time with his all-around gamebreaking skills. On the Bucs third possession of the game, he had a 33-yard touchdown reception called back on a holding call.
With the score 16-6 late in the fourth quarter, Ocean took over for their final possession of the game deep in their own territory after another booming punt by Jack O’Connor and a half the distance to the goal penalty pushed them back to their own four-yard line. O’Connor nailed a 32-yard field goal on the Bucs second possession for the early 3-0 lead and his punting continually put the Spartans in poor field position. The Spartans final desperation drive stalled and they decided to go for a field goal with under a minute to play to make it a one score game, but the 32-yard attempt sailed wide left essentially ending the game. The win keeps the Bucs undefeated (30) for their best start in over ten years moving them one step closer to their first winning season since 2004. “We respect Ocean so much and to come into a situation where we’re 2-0 and compete with them was our goal, “We needed to feel where we’re at in our division and this was the game. This is a very confident group of guys and tonight they played confident and got the win.”

LADY COUGARS ON A MISSION TO MAKE A RETURN TRIP TO THE FINALS By Chris Orlando
One year after playing for a state championship, the members of the Colts Neck Women’s Soccer team needed little motivation entering the 2015 season. And, through its first seven games, the Lady Cougars appear to be playing on a mission to make a return trip to the finals.
COLTS NECK’S #16 KARA CAMARCO Photos by: Fran Attardi “We don’t really talk about it too much but getting back to the finals and atoning for that loss (to Northern Highlands) is in the back of their minds,” said head coach Doug Phillips. “We have nine players back from last year’s team and I know they’re hungry. We just want to make sure we’re all on the same page.” The Lady Cougars have gone 6-0-1 through its first seven contests, outscoring their opponents, 32-7. In its most re-
cent contest on Thursday, Colts Neck shutout Ocean Township, 7-0, on the road. Junior forward Frankie Tagliaferri led the way with a twogoal, four-assist effort. Bridgette King also connected for two goals with Kara Camarco adding a goal and an assist. Sophomore Lauren Feaster stopped seven shots in goal to earn her third shutout of the season. For Tagliaferri, one of the area’s – and state’s most heralded players - it was a return to the pitch after missing Colts Neck’s three previous games as she was training with the U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team in California. “Having Frankie back is huge for us,” said Phillips. “She had a hat trick in the first three games of the year for us and is a huge offensive player.” Tagliaferri’s most dramatic goal of the season came in the third game when her strike in the 84th minute sent Colts Neck to a 4-3 overtime victory over Wall on Sept. 10. Last year Colts Neck, which finished 20-3, reached the Shore Conference Tournament final, bowing to Wall, 1-0. In Tagliaferri’s absence, King, a senior forward, has stepped up, as she registered two hat tricks of her own and totaled seven goals in the three games her forward line teammate was missing. King leads the team in scoring with 12 goals and four assists with Tagliaferri right behind with 11 goals and seven assists. Sophomore forward/midfielder Kayla Lee has added two goals and five assists and senior midfielder Allison Russo has scored three times and assisted on two other goals. Other catalysts for Colts Neck include freshman forward Isabella Fitzhenry, senior back Amanda Visco, junior forwards Noelle Conforti and Tara Walenczyk, freshman midfielder Jenna Buckley, junior backs Morgan Krisman and Nicole Loehle, junior midfielder Eva Cutler, sophomore midfielders Kristen Gambardella and Alexandra Largey, freshman back Kristi Mikula and sophomore back Alexandra Ryan.
The only non-victory of the season for the Lady Cougars was a 1-1 draw with Red Bank Catholic at Count Basie Field in Red bank on Sept. 16. King’s goal in the first half provided Colts Neck with a 1-0 halftime lead before RBC answered in the second half on a header from Alexis Borrino with seven minutes remaining in regulation. Feaster made four saves to help preserve the tie. In a quirk of its schedule, Colts Neck has played six of its first seven games away from home and that trend continued this past Monday as the Monmouth County school was scheduled to make a trek into Middlesex County and play at East Brunswick before returning home to play host to Wall on Wednesday, Sept. 30. “East Brunswick (5-0) is a very good team and having a good start to their season,” said Phillips. “And Wall (4-2) is a big rival and it’s always a hard-fought game with them.”

Integrated Medicine Alliance Practice Earns Patient-Centered Innovation Award Family Practice of Middletown recognized for improvements in communication with nursing home patients, leadership in PCMH initiative
Integrated Medicine Alliance, Monmouth County’s leader in health and wellness, is proud to announce that Family Practice of Middletown has been recognized by the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians (NJAFP) with its Patient-Centered Innovation Award. One of IMA’s seven primary care practices, Family Practice of Middletown was cited for its creation of a Geriatric Patient Care Coordinator position to better manage care for the practice’s 150 nursing home patients, which resulted in dramatically improved communication and heightened patient satisfaction levels. “This is the second year we offered this award and we are pleased that Family Practice of Middletown has demonstrated a commitment to offering innovative approaches to provide patient-centered care,” said Cari Miller, MSM, PCMH CCE, NJAFP’s Director of Advocacy and Project Operations. Ms. Miller also stated that NJAFP is uniquely qualified to develop and offer this award, having worked with more than 1,500 physicians, providers, health systems, community health centers, health care teams, and others in promoting in patientcentered concepts since 2009. Family Practice of Middletown has been nationally recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practice. Recognized practices promote the concept of healthcare professionals working as a team to provide patients with care that is indi-
vidually determined and meets their specific needs. As such, the practice becomes patients’ “homes” for preventive, chronic and ambulatory care. Under this approach to healthcare,
DR. THOMPSON patients openly communicate with their healthcare professionals and let the team know when they need more direction and explanation about their medical care. IMA is a recognized leader in the PCMH initiative, with six of its seven primary care practices carrying the designation. “We examined our practice closely and determined that a project in this area would help our patients and practitioners,” said Dr. Roger Thompson, Principal of Family Practice of Middletown and a member of IMA’s Board of Directors. “Our practice team is pleased NJAFP recognized our effort in this activity. This award acknowledges that patient-centeredness is important for enhancing the treatment a practice provides and the care a patient receives.”
NJAFP recognized five primary care practices and one specialty practice with Patient-Centered Innovation Awards. Practices are located throughout New Jersey and represent solo/small physician practices, practices with four or more physicians, health system practices, and one specialty practice. Based on the number of applications received for 2015, NJAFP used a blinded review process and a panel of healthcare experts to review all applications received to determine award recipients for 2015. Recipients were determined based on criteria such as creativity, use of a care team, and more. About Integrated Medicine Alliance Integrated Medicine Alliance is a medical “group without walls” comprised of three urgent care centers, seven primary care practices, a physical therapy center, a diagnostic center, a wellness center and more. The company was founded in 1994 in an effort to consolidate administrative services and give providers more time and resources to do what they do best – serve patients. Integrated Medicine Alliance is at the forefront of the Patient Centered Medical Home initiative to provide proactive wellness and preventative care to patients with customized medical plans that suite their needs.

Field Hockey Warriors Gain Momentum By Michael Ward
Manasquan’s Kelly Cattani couldn’t let a Matawan goal go unanswered. When Matawan’s Jennelle Long scored a critical game tying goal at 6 minutes left in the second half, Cattani and the Warriors fired back in under two minutes with a goal of their own, ultimately sealing the Huskies’ fate. The 3-2 victory over Matawan was accentuated with quick back-to-back scoring drives by the opposing teams. In the first half, Manasquan’s aggressive offense proved effective with a goal by Lindsey Gladden only 3 minutes into the first half. Not allowing themselves to be outmatched, Matawan quickly drove down the field upon obtaining possession, with Marissa scoring right into the corner of the net, evening up the scoreboard at 1. Before the end of the first half, Hannah Petit of the Warriors was on the war path, putting Manasquan in the lead and tying her season high goal record of 3 in her career. At the end of the first half and into the second, Manasquan had the upper hand in time of
possession, but Matawan’s defense was ready for the attack. Several drives into Matawan territory proved fruitless, with Nia Calloway racking up 5 saves for the Huskies throughout the duration of the game. After Manasquan’s final goal, they successfully handled any attempts from the Matawan offense to re-tie the game in the last 4 minutes. The win puts Manasquan back on even footing, with 3 wins and 3 losses overall for the season. The game against Matawan helped them put together a 2 game winning streak, with their last win coming from 1-0 nail biter against Hazlet’s Raritan Rockets. Their game against Matawan and their upcoming game against St. Rose will be effective tests of their abilities, as their slated to go up against the division powerhouse of RumsonFair Haven later this week.

Lancers Roll Up Central, Panthers Off To Great Start Move to 3-0 By Michael Rogers
After finishing on top of the B South Division last season The Panthers of Point Pleasant Beach boys’ soccer team is off to a 7 win and only 1 loss season and they are ranked as the number four team in the Shore Conference. Their 5 win and 1 loss division record has them in second place in the tough B South Division.
By Ted Kaiser
In the Panthers latest game they won a tough 1 to 0 decision over a very tough Spotswood
The Panthers will look to keep their winning ways going and Coach Adam Curtis said, “We have been in some close games and we have played well enough in those games to win. We look to keep playing hard and competing”. With upcoming games against Manchester and then against Barnegat.
SJV’S #2 KHALIL HASKINS Photo by: Arielle Fegueredo BERKELEY— the road trip to Ocean County was all business for the St. John Vianney football team. The Lancers took on a solid Central Regional (2-2) squad and made them look below average in a 49-6 rout. Offensively, SJV was nearly unstoppable. They scored a touchdown on seven of eight possessions with senior quarterback Anthony Brown keying the attack. Brown tossed three touchdown passes and ran for two more. He was 9-for-14 passing with 194 yards and another 104 yards on the ground. “That’s why he’s going to Boston College,” explained head coach Derek Sininsky. “He’s a special player.” Wide receiver Khalil Haskins caught two of Brown’s touchdown passes and Marcque Ellington caught another. Junior running back Chris Chukwuneke ran for 111 yards on 13 carries with a pair of scores.
The defense was equally impressive as the Lancers slowed down talented running back Mike Bickford who was held under 40 yards rushing. The Golden Eagles matched SJV’s first score of the game to close to 7-6 on a TD run by quarterback Mike Miserendino, but that would prove to be their only highlight of the contest. SJV currently sits at 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Class A Central Division. Next week promises to be a key test with a home date against Rumson-Fair Haven at 7pm on Friday. RFH was 1-0 heading into last Saturday’s matchup with Monmouth Regional. The SJV-RFH battle figures to go a long way in deciding the division crown. The Lancers won a thrilling 35-28 game last season in which they trailed 28-14 at halftime. Raritan is another contender and the Lancers will have them at home on October 16th.
team by the score of 1 to 0 as Mason Pitts scored the winning goal with Mason Ramondelli assisted on the goal. The Chargers applied pressure on the Panther defense throughout the game but goalie Tyler Haines made 7 saves in goal to post a shutout. In an earlier game the Panthers defeated Jackson Liberty by the score of 2 to 1. Matt Kimak and Sam Monaco each scored goals for Point Boro as the Panthers outshot Lions 13 to 6 as Haines was tough in goal for the Panthers again. In another close win Haines posted another shutout as the Panthers defeated Pinelands by the score of 1 to 0. Sam Monaco scored the game winning goal with an assist by Ryan Griffith.

MIDDLETOWN NORTH’S WILD SECOND-HALF RALLY RUNS OUT OF TIME By Mike Ready
FREEHOLD – Saturday’s game between Middletown North and Freehold had all the earmarks of a sure-fire rout three minutes into the third quarter with the Colonials leading the Lions 26-0 in a Class A North game at Freehold.
“Asante is a very patient runner,” Freehold head coach Dave Ellis said. “He can burst when he has too and he has great vision as well.” Down by 26 and things looking bleak for the Lions they turned the ball over on downs on their next possession before Curry fumbled a low snap with junior linebacker Brock Zenker recovering for the Lions all the way back at the 35. On the next play, Glenn hit Brendan Kube over the middle at the Freehold 35 before he broke it to the outside and raced 65 yards for the score.
However, after Freehold (2-1) took their opening second half possession 52 yards in six plays for a touchdown for what looked like an insurmountable 26-point lead, suddenly – if not amazingly – the game turned into a nail biter as Middletown North scored 20 unanswered points and had the ball with a chance to win it when they ran out of time in a 26-20 loss. “I’m still figuring out this team a little bit and I don’t know why we came out so slow,” Lion head coach Steve Bush said. “They (Freehold) came out ready to play and executed well and we didn’t. But I was proud of the way the guys fought back. They didn’t pack it in, didn’t give up, they fought all the way to the end and it shows some heart on this team.”
Three plays later, Lions defensive end Matt Dombrowski – who was all over the field all day making plays – forced a Curry fumble and recovered setting up the Lions at the 14yard line. Four plays later, Demetrius Redway scored from the three and it was suddenly 26-14 with 1.5 seconds left in the third.

Things could not have gone worse for the Lions – ranked No.9 in the Asbury Park Press top 10 poll - in the first half as they were thoroughly out played on both sides of the ball and had to deal with the loss of its starting quarterback with 7:28 remaining in the first half. After driving from their own 45-yard line, the Lions (2-1) had a third-and-goal from the one-yard line on their first possession of the second quarter down only 12-0 at that point. Lion’s junior quarterback Donald Glenn tried to score on a keeper up the middle on third down but was stripped of the ball, injuring his arm, with the Colonials Jake Curry recovering on the one-yard line. Glenn left the game but did return to action on the Lions first possession of the second half to lead the Lion comeback. Middletown North forced a Freehold three-and-out making the Colonials punt from their own end zone. Freehold shanked the punt out of bounds and Lions took over at the Colonial 16-yard line with a golden opportunity to pull within a touchdown.
Three plays netted one yard and on fourth-and-9 from the 15, Nick Eccelston and Markee Gill combined to sack Glenn all the way back at the 24-yard line. Freehold took over and proceeded to drive 76 yards in nine plays with Curry scoring from the two-yard line with 37.1 seconds left in the half giving the Colonials an 18-0 halftime lead. A Curry to Asante Worthy pass play for 17 yards was the big gainer in the drive. The Colonials received the opening kickoff and on second-and-11 from the Middletown North 49-yard line, Worthy appeared to be stopped for a loss but reversed fields and bolted up the left sideline for a 43-yard pickup. Four plays later on fourth-and-inches, Curry appeared to be stuffed for no gain on a keeper up the middle but the referee signaled touchdown and Freehold led 26-0 after Gill took a pitch around right end for the two-point conversion. Curry (21 carries for 177 yards) scored on identical counter plays up the middle in the first half for TD runs of 28 and 19 yards giving the Colonials an early 12-0 lead.
The two teams traded punts twice with under five minutes to play before the Colonials had a first-and-10 from the Lions 36 when sophomore defensive end Austin Dewise took the ball away from Worthy giving Middletown North a first down at their own 36. Two Glenn to Kube pass completion netted 37 yards and a Glenn to Redway screen for 23 yards set up a first-and-goal from the four. Glenn then found Kube in the far corner of the end zone on a fade for a touchdown and the Lions had pulled to within 26-20 with 4:06 to play. Freehold drove to the Lion 34 but on fourth-and-16 elected to punt giving the Lions one last chance with under a minute to play and 80 yards to go. Four Glenn to Kube passes for a combined for 69 yards setting up a first down at the 22-yard line with 4.7 seconds remaining, but a last-ditch pass into the end zone fell incomplete and the game was over. “I’m happy we won the game but when you’re up on a team like that you’ve got to keep going,” Ellis said. “Middletown North is a good football team, a playoff team and I knew they weren’t going to give up and it all the way down to the wire.” Glenn finished 18-of-33 with two touchdowns and one interception for 274 yards while Kube ended his day with 13 receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns.

RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN SURPASSES SHORE REGIONAL AS NO.1 IN SHORE CONFERENCE FIELD HOCKEY By Mike Ready
RUMSON – Shore Regionals strangle hold on Shore Conference field hockey was loosened considerably last season as the surging Bulldogs dethroned the Blue Devils as Shore Conference Tournament champions ending Shore’s amazing string of 15 consecutive SCT titles and handing the Bulldogs their first SCT title in school history.
Returning 13 key players from a year ago, the Bulldogs are off to a blazing start winning their first six games by a combined score of 52-4, including an opening day 3-2 win over Shore Regional. They’re currently ranked No.1 in the Shore Conference, second in the state and 19th nationally in the most recent Max Field Hockey top 25 poll.
The Bulldogs also beat Shore Regional - Central Jersey Group I champions – 6-0 in the first round of the Tournament of Champions before falling to eventual champion and the nation’s No.1 team Eastern, 4-0 in the semifinals.
Leading the charge is 2014 Asbury Park Press Shore Conference Player of the Year and star ledger first team All-State selection Madison Maguire. The senior midfielder had a career-high 51 goals and also a career high 16 assists last season. So far this season, the University of Maryland commit has 12 goals – second on the team - and three assists.
It was an historic year for Rumson (24-1-2) as the Bulldogs won their fifth consecutive Class A Central divisional title and their third consecutive sectional title before winning the programs first ever group championship. They then made their inaugural trip to the Tournament of Champions where they lost to Eastern. They were ranked No.1 in the final Asbury Park Press top ten poll and third in the final Star ledger New Jersey top 20. In addition, for the first time ever, the Bulldogs were ranked No.15 nationally in the final Max Field Hockey top 20 poll.
First team All-Shore pick Maggie Jennings - who has committed to Villanova University to play lacrosse – is the playmaker on the team from her right-mid position with most the bulldog scoring going through her. “Maggie is a phenomenal player,” head coach Julie Brewington said. “She’s a great playmaker for us. If she’s not coming up with the goal or assist, she’s the one bringing the ball up field and into the circle.” Senior captain Kara Dixon – a second team AllShore pick last year as a midfielder – switched to defense this season to right back with senior Kiera McKay at left back and sophomore Katie McGillis at center back. Although a bit inexperienced as a unit, the three have become invaluable in picking up the slack from the loss of graduated first team All-Shore performer Catie Ebner and have the makings of a very formidable defensive trio. Third team All-Shore selection Lilly Croddick is back at forward after a sensational freshman campaign which saw her score 25 goals and assist on 11 others. The sophomore forward currently leads the Bulldogs in goals scored with 14 to go along with her six assists, which also ties her for first on the team. “Lilly was a great player for us last year as a freshman but has improved so much,” Breington said. “She’s worked really hard on her strength and conditioning resulting in quicker shots in the circle and more scoring chances.”
RFH’S MADISON MAGUIRE SCORED HER 100TH GOAL
Although the Bulldogs were hit hard by graduation – losing two first team and one second team All-Shore selections - they’re loaded with young talent that gained invaluable experience during last season’s
post-season run and have already taken on leadership roles on this year’s team. In addition to Croddick, Bulldogs sophomore forward Emma D’Amelio is one of the youngsters who has really stepped up her game. After scoring five goals last season, D’Amelio is third on the team in goals scored with nine after netting five goals in the Bulldogs most recent win over Monmouth Regional. Another sophomore who’s become a huge offensive threat this season is forward Makenna Maguire. She’s recorded five goals so far this season with six assists, tying her with Croddick for the lead in assists. As a freshman, Maguire – the younger sister of Madison - scored six goals with six assists. So, including Megan MacGillis – who has scored five goals this season – all four starting forwards are sophomores.

Freshmen Bridy Molyneaux and Ana Clare Piacentini are another two of those young Bulldogs that play way beyond their age. Molyneaux’s made an early impact scoring four goals and assisting on four others, while freshman Ana Clare Piacentini has assisted on two goals and gets the start at left midfield. Molyneaux is the first forward off the bench. Underrated goalkeeper Anna Babiak in back in the nets after turning away 54 shots on goal a year ago while recording 21 shutouts, including 12 in a row at one point. The senior goalie has three shutouts this season allowing a paltry four goals in six games. “Anna did an awesome job for us last year for our championship team,” Brewington said. “And this year even more so she’s become a vocal leader for us. We definitely need that with a kind of inexperienced defense.” It won’t be easy topping last season’s record-breaking year but Brewington believes it’s possible. “This year we’re kind of starting out at the top and it’s definitely a different feel,” Brewington believes. ”We try to tell the girls it doesn’t matter where they might rank you in the polls; you have to prove it on the field, and they know they have to keep proving themselves every day. If they can continue to believe in themselves and continue to work as hard as they’ve been working I think we can take it to the next level.”

BRICK MEMORIAL’S #2 TIM SANTIAGO Photo by: Arielle Fegueredo In the Shore Conference’s Class A South Division, most of the victorious teams in this past weekend’s matchups won in decisive fashion. In three games involving 6 out of the 8 division’s teams, defense proved to be just as much, if not more of an asset, in adding an exclamation point to their wins. Brick Township defended their home turf and 2-0 record going into Saturday evening’s game against Toms River East. They started off strong with a 21 point first quarter and added on another 7 in the third. Toms River East didn’t have an answer for any of what was thrown at them and they were defeated by a score of 280. Runningback Ja’sin Taylor ran in a 21 yard touchdown and caught a 64 yard touchdown pass for the same effect. Jackson Memorial had similar success on Friday night against Southern Regional. Also undefeated going into their game, quarterback Dan Barker and his Jaguars saw little resistance from Southern’s defense and their defense stop any attempts to threaten. Barker’s arm played a big role in the win, throwing 4 touchdown pass-
es throughout the game. Overall he threw for 104 yards over 8 passes and 12 attempts. Runningback Vincent Lee continued his dominant performance and rushed for over 100 yards. Not to be outdone by their across town rivals, Brick Memorial shut out their competition as well. Once the Mustangs arrived in Lacey, they made it clear they weren’t horsing around. Runningback Tim Santiago rushed for 116 yards which included 2 touchdown drives, helping Brick Memorial to a 48-0 win. Their win over Lacey helped the Mustangs improve their record to 2-1, with their only loss coming from a week 1 matchup with Brick Township. The dominant teams in the division are clearly establishing themselves as a presence amongst their peers. However, only one of these teams will be able to maintain their undefeated streaks. In what’s considered one of the hottest match-ups this fall, Jackson Memorial and Brick Township will go head to head this Friday (10/2). Both teams are 3-0 and both teams are hungry to win. Which will live to see 4-0 is anyone’s guess.

Manalapan Triumphs Against Sayreville, Remains Undefeated By Michael Ward
The stage was set for a contentious match-up on Friday night, as both Sayreville and Manalapan were both undefeated at 2-0 going into the night’s main event. Bombers’ fans were hopeful as their hometown team received for the first kickoff of the game. But that excitement was quickly replaced by other emotions as Sayreville was forced to punt on the inaugural drive and then faced a 27 point onslaught against them in the first quarter alone, establishing what would be the narrative for most of the game. Manalapan proved themselves to be tactically proficient in exposing and exploiting Sayreville’s weak spots, whether on offense, defense or even special teams.
Photos by: Mike Ward In the first quarter, Naim Mayfield of Manalapan was tasked with handling the punt return, found a seam and drove the football right back for a 60 yard touchdown. Piling on to Manalapan’s big yard success and with barely over 30 seconds left in the half, TJ Orrico came up big for the Braves, picking off a pass in their own red zone and sprinting 83 yards for the touchdown. The pick-six gave Manalapan a 34-7 lead over The Bombers going into the half. In the second half, Sayreville came back and bested Manalapan with 3 successful drives for a total of 20 points compared to Manalapan’s 2 for 13 points. But the damage was already done and the deficit too much to overcome. Manalapan’s offense was able to beat back Sayreville’s defense to get into first and goal situations, then Marcus Sali-
nas and Naim Mayfield ran the football the rest of the way for 6 and 9 yard rushes respectively to finish off the drive. Sayreville looked to imitate what they saw from their rivals in the first half. Two of their drives ended in respectable yardage pickups from Michael Liberti for 24 and Sam Thomas for 36 yards. Liberti also rushed for 8 yards in the 4th. Manalapan’s Quarterback Cody Wiener was effective throughout the night in the air. He went 7 for 7 in passing attempts and racked up 71 yards. Runningback Marcus Salinas rushed 151 yards over 13 attempts. Manalapan begins October by facing off against Middletown North, followed by Lacey, Middletown South and finishes out October with Red Bank Catholic and Freehold Borough.

UNDEFEATED SHORE REGIONAL BOYS SOCCER ON COURSE FOR BEST SEASON EVER
Jersey
By Mike Ready
WEST LONG BRANCH – Last season the Blue Devils buzzed through Class B Central competition going 13-0-1 on the way to winning the division and going 22-3-1 overall while also reaching the Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinals. But what made last season the most successful season in 16 years was winning the programs first NJSIAA Central Jersey Group I championship since 1998. This year’s team –ranked No.2 in the most recent Asbury Park Press top 10 poll - hasn’t missed a beat and is off to a blazing 8-0 start including a huge out of division 3-1 victory over fifth-ranked Ocean Township, a team that had outscored its previous three opponents by a combined score of 21-1.
Although the Blue Devils did lose six starters to graduation, including All-Shore defender Jake Friedland, they brought back their two top scorers from a year ago and a strong nucleus of players with starting experience or having had extended playing time. Garrett Kroeger

Low Back Pain and Regenerative Medicine The Data is In- and it keeps coming
Hours
Low back pain is the second most common reason for physician visits and the most common for loss of work. Though there are many causes of low back pain, most improve with time or simple conservative treatment. Of patients who do not improve, many have a problem referred to as discogenic low back pain. This means that their pain emanates from the intervertebral disc; that cartilaginous cushion between the bony vertebral bodies. The intervertebral disc provides both a spacer and structural shock absorbing function to the low back. Pain may occur as the disk loses its structural integrity through trauma or degeneration. Patients unresponsive to conservative treatment often require surgery with spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement. Under ordinary circumstances, because of its anatomy, the disk has little if any ability to repair itself. This is where regenerative medicine may play a role. Utilizing growth factors and stem cells from your own body, healing and reparative processes of tissue, e.g. intervertebral disc, may be greatly enhanced. This treatment has been discussed in our two prior articles in Jersey Sports News. Today I will present some of the recent study data for discogenic low back pain treated with regenerative techniques.
Dr. Gordon D. Donald, lll, MD, FACS
All of our bodies contain a multiplicity of growth factors and stem cells that aid in our normal physiologic healing and growth every day. Unfortunately, some injuries result in conditions where these factors and cells cannot get to the site of injury or they are not “strong” enough to resolve the problem. Regenerative medicine techniques are able to harvest
Monday - Thursday: 9am - 8pm Saturday: 9am - 4pm Sunday: 9am - 2pm Friday: 9am - 7pm
and concentrate these components and inject them into the area of injury where they can provide their best effect. In the case of discogenic low back pain, these regenerative components are injected into the center of the affected intervertebral disc potentially providing a strong anti-inflammatory effect as well as a stimulatory effect increasing physiologic repair processes and growth of normal tissues. Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is obtained from drawing blood and concentrating the growth factors from that blood. Autologous adult mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, are derived from patients iliac crest or hipbone, concentrated with blood forming injected of both stem cells and growth factors.
In a recent study by Pettine et al., patients with discogenic low back pain fluid-filled greater than six months of conservative treatment underwent autologous mesenchymal stem cell injections into their affected discs. Again these were patients who would otherwise have had surgery for their chronic debilitating pain. There were no complications from either the bone marrow aspiration to harvest stem cells or from the disk injection. 92% of patients avoided surgery at 12 months and 81% at two years following injection. At three months following the injection, patients pain scores improved by over 80% with a similar improvement in physical function. This improvement was maintained at 612 and 24 months after the injection.

Recently we have the results of two very well designed and perform studies demonstrating the utility of regenerative medicine techniques for the treatment of discogenic low back pain. The recent study from Hospital for Special Surgery divides patients with discographically proven discogenic low back pain into treatment and control groups. These were patients that would otherwise have been indicated for surgical treatment. The treatment group was injected with autologous PRP in the control group simply with x-ray contrast. The results are quite clear. There were no complications were adverse events as a result of the disk injection with PRP. At eight weeks following the injection, 56% of treated patients were satisfied with their improvement compared to 18% of the control. This is based on both measurement of pain and physical function. For the patients treated with PRP, they continued to demonstrate maintained clinical improvement for at least one year post-injection.
It is clear from both studies that these patients demonstrated excellent improvement of their symptoms most frequently avoiding the need for surgical intervention. Although patients in both studies did well, it is evident that the patients receiving stem cells had better overall and term results than those who received only PRP. The debate on which technique is more effective continues on. Regardless, the take-home message is that cellular regenerative medicine is an effective in improving treatment for discogenic low back pain that hopefully will eliminate much of the need for invasive surgical fusions in the future.

DONOVAN CATHOLIC’S #7 DAVID CALDERIN Photo by: Arielle Figueredo The Donovan Catholic football team is coming off of a winless season where the Rams finished with a record of 0 wins and 10 losses but head coach Dan Duddy (in his 9th season) remained positive and kept the kids working hard in the off season which has paid off so far this season. His philosophy of “one day at a time” has gone a long way with his team and in the off season he said, “The first thing we needed to do was leave last season behind us and work hard in the off season coming back this season believing we can compete with anyone in our division”. The Rams have done just that coming out in their first game this season and defeating Pinelands by the score of 39 to 33. Running back David Calderone scored the go ahead touchdown on a 14 yard run with 2:29 left in the game. He finished the game with 136 yards on 15 carries and 2 touchdowns in the game. Quarterback Teddy Golubowski also ran for 2 touchdowns and also threw a 60 yard touchdown pass to Kyle Schemmer. He finished the game completing 6 of 8 passes for 100 yards and the 1 touchdown pass in the game. The Rams played well in their next game but lost a heartbreaker to Toms River South by the score of
14 to 10. Donovan Catholic led 10 to 7 going into the fourth quarter on a Calderone 10 yard touchdown run and a Gian Carlos Sigliano 30 yard field goal but on their last drive of the game Toms River South’s Juden Kash scored on a 1 yard touchdown as the Rams great effort came up just short. With a 1-1 record the Rams next opponent was Point Pleasant Boro and once again the Rams played well but lost a tough 21 to 7 decision. The Panther defense was very tough all day on the Ram offense and their only score came on a fumble recovery that Donovan Catholic returned for a touchdown. So far this season Calderone leads the team in rushing with 280 yards and he has scored 3 touchdowns while Alex Rusano has rushed for 90 yards this season and also has 65 yards receiving. Schemmer leads the team in receiving with 65 yards and has scored 1 touchdown. After a bye week the Rams will face Barnegat on October 2nd before taking on Jackson Liberty on October 9th. Coach Duddy likes the way his team is competing and said, “these kids are working very hard and they have great emotion as well as a change in attitude. We have a lot of good football ahead of us”.
Southern Field Hockey Undefeated By Michael Rogers
Coming off of a 17 win and 3 loss season a year ago and the Rams reaching the Group IV state final. Coach Jenna Lombardo knew going into this season and losing 5 starters to graduation that repeating last seasons success was not going to be easy and said, “the underclassmen have to step up to fill in those spots. Our strength this year is that this team is selfless. Everyone is on board with doing what is best for the team”. Southern started the season by scoring a huge victory as the Rams defeated always powerful Shore Regional by the score if 3 to 2. Coach Lombardo had this to say about the win, “they are a state champion almost every year and have a fantastic program but I knew going into that game that if my girls played together we were going to be hard to beat”. The Blue Devils jumped out to a 2 to 0 lead but in the 42nd

Senior Nick Meyer and junior Ryan Nigro scored for the Colts who are trying to make this season a memorable one especially with their head coach retiring at the end of the season.

HOLMDEL’S #16 HANNAH LEE SR FORWARD AND CO-CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM
GROW STRONGER FROM THE CHIN UP.
HOLMDEL’S #13 KAILEY FLYNN BATTLING WITH #2 NICOLE SCALZO OF MIDDLETOWN SOUTH Photos by: Lester Pierce The Holmdel girls’ soccer team has started this season with a 4 win and 2 loss record and are ranked as the number 10 team in the Shore Conference. The Hornets have posted some impressive victories and suffered some close defeats but the early indication is that the Hornets are going to make some noise in the Shore Conference and state this season in girls’ soccer. The season started out with a very hard fought close defeat as the Hornets lost a tough 2 to 1 decision to Middletown South. The Hornets led at halftime 1 to 0 on a goal from Hannah Lee with an assist from Kailey Flynn but Middletown South kept Holmdel scoreless in the second half while scoring two goals of their own and earning a 2 to 1 win. Goalie Mattie Milkowski did her best making 10 saves in the game for the Hornets. Holmdel went in to win their next 3 games (2 to 1 over Matawan, 5 to 0 over Raritan, and 4 to 2 over Manasquan before suffering a tough double overtime loss to Rumson Fair Haven, who is ranked fourth in the Shore Conference. Holmdel fell behind 3 to 1 in the first half before tying the Bulldogs with a 3 to 1 second half and after a scoreless first overtime lost a very tight game in the second overtime. In the loss Hannah Lee scored 2 goals, while Gabriella Blair and Rebecca Stanziale each scored one goal each in the loss. Rumson outshot Holmdel 15 to 13 in the game. Since that double overtime defeat the Hornets have come back to shut out Monmouth by the score if 3 to 0. In that game Blair had 2 goals while Lee had the other goal for Holmdel while Milkowski posted a shutout in goal. So far this season Lee and Blair are tied for leading the team in scoring with 8 goals each while Blair and Kailey Flynn each have recorded 4 assists so far this season. Milkowski has made 36 saves in goal this season for the Hornets.
