2014-15 SHORE CONFERENCE SPORTS YEAR IN REVIEW By Mike Ready

Shore Regional led the way registering one of the most successful championship seasons in New Jersey high school sports history this past fall. The Blue Devils won seven sectional state titles encompassing titles in football, boys’ and girls’ soccer, field hockey, girls’ tennis and boys’ and girls’ cross country.

Brick Memorial took home the most honors in Shore Conference wrestling putting together one of the all-time great seasons in Shore Conference wrestling history. The Mustangs (20-1) finished ranked No. 2 in the state and No.1 in the Shore. They were NJSIAA Group IV champions, state sectional champions, and District 23 champions. The Mustangs won the Shore Conference Tournament, were Class A Champions and won the TCNJ Pride Tournament. Senior Alec Donovan (38-1) was named the NJ.com Shore Conference Wrestler of the Year after winning the state title at 145-pounds.

The NJSIAA does not keep running records of seasonal championships, but it is believed to be an all-time state record. According to NJSIAA Assistant Director Jack DuBois, in his 46-year career, he doesn’t ever recall a school winning seven sectional championships in one single season. In football, the Shore Conference entered championship weekend with a chance to take home six sectional titles and a possible sweep of the Central Jersey grouping.

Shore Conference hockey made its presence felt winning two of the three possible state titles and producing the runner up in the third. CBA (23-5) won the NonPublic title beating then No.1 Delbarton 4-3 to claim the distinction as the No.1 team in the state with junior defenseman Ryan Bogan Jr. being named NJ.com Player of the Year.

Bring out the brooms as Shore teams swept all six title games including Jackson Memorial’s (11-1) bizarre win over Middletown South (9-3) in the CJGIV title game which made it seven Shore teams competing for six titles. Jackson Memorial finished ranked No.1 in the final Shore conference top ten and No.2 in the NJ.com final top 20.

Middletown North (18-5-4) captured its first state title in program history beating Ramsey 5-4 for the Public B title and finished No.7 in the state. Junior forward Bobby Hampton was selected the APP Player of the Year. Howell (22-6) was the runner up in the Public A championship.

Shore (11-1) took home the CJGI trophy for its sixth title in school history beating South Hunterdon 42-12. In CJGII, Rumson-Fair Haven (8-3) won its second title in a row shutting out Delaware Valley 21-0 as Princeton-bound Charlie Volker rushed for 161 yards giving him 1,441 total yards in an injury plagued season.

With the coming of spring came another historic run by a Shore Conference team as CBA baseball became only the second Shore Conference team in history, and first since Wall in 2004, to win the Quintuple Crown, claiming five titles in one season. The Colts shared the Class A North title, won the Monmouth and Shore Conference Tournaments, the Non-Public South A title and the overall Non-Public A championship. Their 7-0 win over previously unbeaten and No.1 Don Bosco propelled the Colts into the No.1 spot in the NJ.com final rankings.

After losing its first two games of the season, Matawan (8-4) rebounded behind sensational freshman quarterback George Pearson to win the CJGIII routing Carteret 26-7 as Pearson threw four touchdown passes. In the CJGV championship game, Manalapan (11-1) won its first state title in program history with a 21-7 victory over once undefeated South Brunswick (11-1) after losing in the state finals the three previous seasons.

In softball, Henry Hudson (21-3) won the CJGI title and made it to the Group I final before bowing out. Middletown South (28-5) took home the CJGIII championship before losing in the Group III final. Matawan (21-8) and Pinelands both lost after advancing to their sectional finals and Saint John Vianney, Donovan Catholic and Middletown North got as far as the semifinals. Pinelands captured the Ocean County Tournament and Middletown North won its first Shore Conference Tournament title since 1974.

Last but not least, Red Bank Catholic (11-1) recovered nicely from its upset loss to Jackson Memorial to win its first championship since 1976 with a convincing 45-20 thrashing of Delbarton in the Non-Public Group III final. Junior Eddie Hahn showed why he’ll be one of the top players in the Shore next season throwing for 234 yards and a TD and rushing for 47 yards and a TD. The Caseys finished ranked second in the Shore and third in the final NJ.com top 20 giving the Shore Conference the second and third ranked teams in the state.

Southern boys’ lacrosse took center stage after beating Rumson-Fair Haven for its first SCT title in program history after losing to the Bulldogs in the previous two SCT finals. But, it was Rumson that made a historic run into the Tournament of Champions after beating state power Mountain Lakes to capture the NJSIAA Group I title before exiting the TOC in the first round.

Long Branch running back Dahmiere Willis was named APP Shore Conference Offensive Player of the Year after setting a single season rushing record with 2,589 yards, while Manalapan defensive lineman Kyle Mullen took home the honor on the defensive side of the ball recording 136 total tackles including 77 solo, with 18 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks.

Girls’ soccer produced three sectional champions led by Shore Regional in the CJGI final. Holmdel captured its first Group II title in program history after winning the CJGII title, and Colts Neck beat Wall Township 2-0 for the CJGIII title for its first title since 2003 after losing to Wall in the SCT final. The two teams finished ranked one-two in the final polls and the Cougar’s Frankie Tagliaferri was named Player of the Year with 29 goals and 14 assists. In field hockey, RFH dethroned Shore Regional as the top team in the Shore putting an end to the Blue Devils’ incredible streak of 15 straight SCT titles, beating Shore 2-0 for its first SCT title ever. Rumson won the Group II title while Shore took the Group I championship before losing to the Bulldogs in the first round of the Tournament of Champions, which preceded Rumson’s eventual loss to Eastern in the semifinals. Rumson’s Madison Maguire was named Shore Conference Player of the Year.

On the boys’ side, Shore Regional (21-6) won the CJGI title with a 62-44 win over Pt. Beach (20-10), and Manasquan (22-7) took home the CJGII crown. Christian Brothers Academy (24-6) grabbed the Non-Public South A title, but Rumson-Fair Haven pulled off the biggest upset in Shore Conference Tournament final history beating then No.1 CBA for its first SCT title in program history. Shore Conference Player of the Year Brendan Barry scored 25 of his game-high 27 points for Rumson in the second half.

WEST LONG BRANCH – It was another banner year for Shore Conference sports as its gifted athletes again helped demonstrate why the conference is as competitive as any in the state.

In boys’ soccer, seven teams reached the sectional finals with two taking home trophies. Shore (22-3-1) won the CJGI title as the No.1 seed with a 1-0 win over No.2 New Egypt, while Manalapan (16-4-3) beat Monroe 1-0 for its first CJGIV title since 2007 and finished ranked No.1 in the Shore. Second-ranked Freehold Township (14-6-2) finished ranked No.2 and won the SCT. Braves senior forward Ryan Hammer was selected Shore Conference Player of the Year after scoring 20 goals and assisting on 10 others.

sent four of six teams to the Tournament of Champions and had five teams ranked in the top ten in the NJ.com season ending poll, including Manasquan at No.1, St. Rose (32-2) No.2, Saint John Vianney (26-4) No.3, Middletown South (26-6) No.8 and Rumson-Fair Haven (19-7) at No.9.

Shore Regional and Rumson won sectional titles in girls’ lacrosse with Shore Regional taking the South Group I title, while the Bulldogs beat Red Bank Catholic for the South Group II title. The Bulldogs won their third straight SCT with a 17-5 drubbing of Shore and finished the season ranked No.5 in the state in the final NJ.com poll. The Saint John Vianney girls won the Shore Conference Volleyball Tournament beating Marlboro 2-1. The Holmdel girls’ tennis team won the CJGII title defeating Rumson 3-2 in the final then went on to win the Group II state title and made it to the finals of the Tournament of Champions before falling to No.1 Millburn. Shore captured the CJGI title while Red Bank Catholic took home the Non-Public South A and overall A title. Rumson’s Kate Fahey was named the NJ.com Player of the Year. The basketball season was highlighted by the Manasquan girls’ (31-2) phenomenal season that ended with them being ranked No.1 in the state and No.19 in the USA today national poll after winning the Tournament of Champions. McDonald’s All-American and Notre Dame-bound Marina Mabrey was voted Gatorade New Jersey Player of the Year after averaging 25.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. Having gained the reputation as being the most competitive conference in New Jersey girls’ basketball, the Shore Conference did nothing to dispel that belief. It

Holmdel made all the headlines in Shore Conference boys’ tennis this spring winning the CJGII and Shore Conference Tournament titles before bowing out in the semifinals of the TOC. CBA and Matawan were the heavyweights in boys’ track and field this spring with the Huskies taking home the CJGII title behind Matt Isaacson’s state’s season best 15’-6” in the pole vault in the Meet of Champions. CBA fell to No.1 Union Catholic in the Non-Public A championship and finished ranked No.2 in the state while Matawan ended the season ranked No. 16. In boys’ volleyball CBA captured its first SCT title in program history dethroning long-time New Jersey powerhouse Southern. However, the Rams bounced back nicely winning the NJSIAA South prior to their loss to Bridgewater-Raritan in the state finals. We know we’ve omitted a number of teams’ outstanding accomplishments that deserve recognition but due to space restrictions we’re limited on what we can include. We apologize.

Anthony “Labo” Lubischer: A LOCAL LEGEND By Mike Attardi

The Shore Area lost a Local Legend when Anthony “Labo” Lubischer passed away April 21st. Ask any of the Old Timers about Labo and they will tell you the same thing “he was one of the best football players to ever play on the Jersey Shore”. He was larger than life to many that saw him play. Tony was the star of the 1951 undefeated Long Branch Green Wave football team, where he played FB/LB. He was a big 6’3 220lbs, fast, strong and tough even at today’s standards. It was that combination of talent and strength that earned him First Team All State honors as well as the New Jersey Player of The Year. He was also an All State performer in Track and Field as a Shot Putter. As you can imagine colleges came pursuing the big back and offers came from all over including such programs as Notre Dame, USC, Alabama and the defending National Champion University of Maryland. His sons found his offer letters from Maryland, ND and USC. The USC offer was a hand written letter from the Coach saying “Labo we see you as USC next great back and can’t wait to get you to Los Angeles.” That’s how sought after he was.

Labo decided to bring his talents to the U of MD where he was their prized recruit. Back then, freshman could not play Varsity Football, but if you ask some of the MD greats and NFL players like Bennie Scottie and Bob Pelligrini they will tell you Labo would have! The team went to play an exhibition game in Mexico City and all the headlines were about the star FB Anthony Lubischer. Unfortunately, as happens so often in sports, Labo’s career ended before it ever began. He was clipped and blew out his knee early in the game. An injury like that today is bad, but in 1952 it was devastating. Bennie Scottie said if he didn’t get hurt he would have had a tremendous career at Maryland, not to mention the NFL. Although Tony’s career ended in Mexico City, the Lubischer name is synonymous with Jersey Shore Football. The Lubischer’s have played college football at Boston College (2), Georgia Tech, UCF, Duke, Fordham, Northeastern (2), Towson, Uppsala, William Patterson (2), Jersey City State (2) and of course MD. His three sons John, Nick and Steve carried on their father’s tradition and earned All County and All Shore hon-

ors as Jr’s and Sr’s as well as All State Honors. John made the top 100 football players in the Tri State Area and Nick led the Shore in rushing, averaging over 8 yards per carry and was named Monmouth County Player of The Year and a top 22 Tri State player. He also led the Shore in scoring and finished 6th in the state. Steve had 22 career interceptions and joined his father as a First Team All Groups All State selection in 1979. John went on to play at Uppsala where he was a 4 year starter, 2 year Captain and received Division 3 All American honors as a MLB. Nick earned a full scholarship to play RB at Boston College, slated as the starting FB his sophomore year, but a freak neck injury ended his career before it even started just like his father. Steve joined his brother at Boston College and played OLB. He had a great career playing in 2 bowl games and his team was ranked as high as 8 in the country. He was named ABC player of the game in their upset win over Alabama and earned All East Honors. He also was a teammate and roommate of Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie. Steve played a few games in the NFL before the same neck injury ended his career.

It doesn’t end there; most recently Labo got joy out of watching his grandsons play the game he loved. John played HS ball in FL where he won multiple honors and earned a scholarship to UCF as a TE. He also had the privilege of playing in 2 Bowl games. Anthony was a star LB at RBC and won multiple honors for his play including our Defensive Player of the Year in 2008. He earned a scholarship to Fordham where he played LB and FB just like his Pop Pop. Then you have Nick. He had a stellar career at RBC capped off with a tremendous game in their first State Championship victory this year. He earned All Shore Honors and will take his football talents to perennial Division 1AA powerhouse UNH playing DB and Slot. But wait, there is still one more to go and that’s Steve, or Slim as his Pop Pop liked to call him. He had a tremendous youth football career as a QB, OLB and Safety. He is already following in Labo’s footsteps. In fact, when he was in 5TH grade he made a vicious tackle that had over 170,000 hits and made it all the way to ESPN. He will play his HS football for the SJV Lancers. His Pop Pop bragged to everyone that Steve will be the best of

them all - now that’s saying something. My father, Mike Attardi played with Labo in 1951, and the stories he would tell me were legendary. Before my father passed away, he told me to tell Labo that he’s getting on the football field up in heaven before him. He was also going to tell the team up there that one of the greatest football players in Long Branch history will someday join them. When I told that to Labo back in 2004 when he came to pay respect to my father, he shed a tear. It wasn’t a tear of sadness but a tear of joy. That 1951 State Championship team was special. These guys were a family. They all had true love and admiration for one another, and their families continue the tradition today. Although he is gone his name lives on through his family. He now has the best seats in the house to watch his grandsons, Nick and Steve, carry on the tradition. I am sure they will do all they can to make him proud. He will be missed but his name and legend will live on. When a man can live on after his death, that man was very special. God Bless you Anthony.

Resilient Bulldogs Conclude Season with Tournament of Champions Appearance By Kevin Davis

Rumson - The Rumson-Fair Haven boys lacrosse team's (18-7) incredible run finally ended May 30 in the first round of the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions, when Summit stifled the Bulldogs 7-0.

South Jersey Group 1 title with a 12-8 win over New Providence on May 23. That championship allowed the Bulldogs to advance to the Group 1 champion-

MIDDLETOWN— To say it was a “good” season for the Middletown South softball team would be an understatement.

ship game. It was there that sophomore Charlie Curran delivered a pair of enormously clutch goals – one late in regulation to tie it, the next the game-winner with about a minute left in overtime – to stun Mountain Lakes 9-8 and put the Bulldogs in the record books as the firstever Shore Conference team to capture a state title. “Once the states rolled around, we got a 6-5 win over Madison – that was really a confidence builder,” Eastwood said. “The boys really came together, and we peaked at the right time.” Andy Eastwood said. “This year we had six seniors, a lot of underclassmen – so I knew it could take a while to bring it together,” adding that the team’s challenging nonconference slate heightened the degree of difficulty in the early going. Over the course of its run, RFH captured multiple championships, including the

of runs in the championship matchup, two of which came off of a big home run from junior Julia Blarr, who had been defying expectations with impressive numbers all season. Blarr finished with a .489 average at the plate, along with 28 RBIs and 45 hits. Blarr’s return for the 2016 season will be vital for an Eagles team that relied heavily on its seniors, including shortstop Alex Corrigan.

A 28-5 record and a first place finish in the A North division were nothing to complain about. But for the Eagles, the motivation was “more, more and more”, and more was a Central Jersey Group 3 state title.

“We graduated 18 seniors from last year – a pretty talented group,” Bulldogs coach

Eagles Close Out Strong Season

The TOC loss to Summit was the second setback the Bulldogs suffered at the hands of the Hilltoppers, who bested RFH 9-1 on March 28. That loss was the second in a sequence of four to begin RFH's year. As it happened, the Bulldogs caught fire after that initial rough patch. They ultimately lost fewer games following their 16-14 loss to Southern on April 4 than they had over the first 11 days of the campaign.

• Jersey Sporting News

Corrigan, who has already committed to play at Fairfield next spring, had 21 RBIs and 30 hits this year, while hitting .390 at the plate. Her early spot in the lineup allowed for her to get up three or more times most games, and the Eagles will miss her strong bat next season.

On June 5, their season ended with that ideal result, in an 8-1 rout over Sparta. The victory gave the Eagles their fifth state title in school history and their first since winning back-toback titles in 2009 to 2010. The 8-1 win over South’s Group 3 opponent came just one day after the Eagles suffered a crushing 0-1 defeat in the Shore Conference final to their crosstown rival, Middletown North. Although the nine-inning loss to the Lions of North was not the conference end they wanted, South made up for it with an abundance

Although the Bulldogs were stopped in the Tournament of Champions, the season was still an unqualified success. In addition to their success in the state tournament, RFH earlier ran through B North for a division crown, and once again reached the finals of the Shore Conference Tournament.

The loss of power hitters like Corrigan and Nicki Curran will not be detrimental to the South offense next spring, though. The team will return six current juniors, including Blarr, Ally Massa and pitcher Maddie McMahon. McMahon threw three scoreless innings early on against Sparta before allowing just one run in the top of the fourth. Eagles head coach Tom Erbig also closed out his own 2015 season on a strong note, earning his 700th win and his fifth state title in the same game. The Eagles, refreshed with a new and confident senior class, will aim for a sixth state title come 2016, and will look to add a few more wins to their coach’s total.

Jersey Awards to Honor Student Athletes at The Parker House By Ted Kaiser

SEA GIRT— The Parker House is set to host some of the most talented Shore Conference athletes on Tuesday, June 16th. The 15th Annual Jersey Awards will be held to honor an amazing group of high school seniors for their on and off-field achievements in front of a packed crowd of proud parents, relatives, coaches, and friends. Seemingly every year, the quality of students nominated and ultimately selected to win were some of the most accomplished in the history of the awards. With tremendous academic achievements, tireless extracurricular and volunteer activities, and the character befitting true athletic scholars, the class of 2015 truly shined. “These students do so much for their school and communities,” says Fran Attardi, publisher of Jersey Sporting News which gives out the awards. “It is amazing to hear their accomplishments. It’s a pleasure to cover their on-field talents during the school year, but it’s truly an honor to recognize the full scope of their success at The Jersey Awards.” For the 15th Annual Jersey Awards, each recipient received a Tiffany and Co. trophy engraved with their name and sport. The winners were chosen on the basis of their athletic achievements, academics, and extra-curricular activities. Jersey Sporting News takes great pride in selecting well-rounded students who excel across the

board. Over the years, the Jersey Awards has become one of the most coveted in local high school sports as it is one of the few to have an official ceremony and a unique keepsake award. As always, The Jersey Awards would not be possible without the exceptional support of the sponsors. The Parker House once again is hosting the evening with recipients, family, and friends enjoying a cocktail hour before the ceremony. The U.S. Army will be on hand with t-shirts and gifts for the recipients as well as some words of wisdom. Jersey Sporting News would like to especially thank the top sponsors for the awards including The Parker House and Joe Leone’s Italian Specialty Store and Catering in Point Pleasant. Other key sponsors include Security Benefit, Sportscare Institute Inc., ABMM Financial, Central Jersey Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, U.S. Army, Ray Catena Lexus.

Please take the time to support these businesses that have so generously supported our local student athletes. It is because of them that JSN is able to carry on the tradition of The Jersey Awards.

BRICK MEMORIAL’S ALEC DONOVAN’S LEGACY WILL TRANSCEND THE WRESTLING MAT By Mike Ready

BRICK TOWNSHIP – Alec Donovan - the 2015 Jersey Award winner in wrestling – is primarily known for his extraordinary feats as a member of the Brick Memorial wrestling team.

months earlier with outsports.com writer Cyd Zeigler, he came out as gay and chronicled his battle with the stigma of being a gay athlete, as well as his fears, depression and suicidal thoughts.

The senior grappler – who was named NJ.com Shore Conference Wrestler of the Year - led the Mustangs to virtually every obtainable title this past winter including being ranked No. 1 in the Shore Conference and No. 2 in the NJ.com final top 20.

Donovan is believed to be the first openly gay, active college wrestler when he becomes a Cal Poly Mustang this fall. Earlier this spring, another high school wrestler, Cole Fox, from Don Bosco Catholic

Acts of kindness and doing things for others without expecting anything in return is nothing new for Donovan. He went far and beyond the call of duty helping residents of Point Pleasant Beach recover from the effects of Hurricane Sandy, riding his bike from his home in Brick for days on end following the storm to lend a helping hand wherever he was needed.

His exploits on the mat helped Brick Memorial get crowned Group 5 champions, NJSIAA State Sectional champions, District 23 champions; win the Shore Conference Tournament title, the Class A South championship and the TCNJ Pride Tournament title.

“When I’m off the mat I like to help people whenever I can,” Donovan said. “It was a very depressing time after what happened. So like I said to myself ‘I could go over there and change some lives and hopefully make someone’s life a little easier after what happened let’s do it.’ No one asked me to do it; I just told my dad I was going.”

Individually this season, he became Brick Memorial’s first state champion since 2009 winning the title in the 145-pound division with a 1-0 decision on an escape at the beginning of the third period and compiling more than two minutes of riding time in the second period. He became Brick Memorial’s seventh state champion and sixth wrestler to win a state title in Brick Memorial’s storied wrestling history.

He’s also active in the school’s anti-bullying campaign and a member of ‘The Game Changers.’ “It’s all about anti-bullying and trying to make people’s day better,” Donovan said. “We try throughout the day to send positive messages. Unfortunately, as much as we try to help, people are still bullying others. We’ve put the message out on television, the internet, social media, wherever we can, but people still decide to do it.”

He went 38-1 on the year running his all-time high school record to an awe-inspiring 128-23. The win total is fourth on Brick Memorial’s all-time win list and he finished the season ranked in the top 25 of high school wrestlers, in his weight class, in the nation. On June 2, Donovan signed a National Letter of Intent to continue his wrestling career in the Big West Conference at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He’ll be wrestling for former Columbia head coach Brendan Buckley entering his fourth year as Cal Poly’s top man. On or about the same time Donovan was taking his recruiting visit to Cal Poly he became notable for another reason. In an interview he had done a few

High outside Waterloo, Iowa, revealed his orientation and will be attending Northern Iowa University this fall, but has yet to decide whether he’ll wrestle for the Panthers. It had been on a recruiting trip to Limestone College in South Carolina earlier in the year that Donovan had revealed for the first time - except for his inner circle of close friends and family - that he was gay when confronted by a fellow New Jersey recruit. And although it wasn’t his intention on the recruiting trip to have the conversation with the Cal Poly coaching staff initially, after the story broke and it was out in the open he was left no other choice.

Cal Poly not only got themselves one of the best wrestlers in the country, but also a first-rate citizen who will make the university, and the town, a better place to be. Come this fall, Donovan will be majoring in animal science with the hopes of one day becoming a veterinarian.

“Coach Sentes was the first one to bring it up, but we didn’t go into depth about it until coach Buckley sat down and we talked about it,” Donovan said. “I was very relieved to know that I would be accepted and everything was going to be alright no matter what. They told me it doesn’t mean anything because they had a gay wrestler on the team before. I met my teammates and they were all cool with it.” Donovan hopes that coming out as a gay high school athlete and documenting his journey, including all the emotional turmoil he had to go through, can help others going through the same struggles. “Some of my teachers said they could see me as being an inspirational or motivational speaker,” Donovan said. “I’m pretty sure I’d like to do that if it would help others.”

ON BEING NAMED JERSEY SPORTING NEWS 2015 BOYS SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR

PATRIOT NATION

Page 14 Jersey Sporting News • 6/16/15 - 6/29/15

JMPOWERU Top 10 Most frequently asked questions 1 - “How often should I come, Coach?”

In 25 years of being a Strength and Conditio ning Coach I have learned a great many lessons. This one shows that the Student Athletes that average 104 -156 StrengthSpeed-Conditioning and Recovery sessions/classes per year tend to be the most successful and durable. Whether at home, school or here your habit of consistency is the most important. This is why I created the Full Time Student Discount.

2 - “How do I get rid of soreness?”

The best way to get rid of soreness from a game, lift or practice is to follow sound Sports Nutrition; sleep, icing, massage and a recovery session. First is to do some light cardio activity for 5 to 10 min to enhance oxygenated (nutrient rich) blood flow to all muscles. The use of foam rollers and massage sticks for about 10 minutes. Then the Power Plate is a miraculous machine that really helps with your problem areas and will immediately make you feel better. Last, a 15 to 20 min cool down static stretch, where it is sometimes helpful to have a partner’s help along with a massage stick. Ice is also a great way to finish the session. Guaranteed to work. Using certain drugs (like NSAIDS) can actually hamper Strength/Power Development.

3 – “Should I exercise if hurt or injured?”

The answer is most always, “Yes,” especially with arm, leg and shoulder injuries. By exercising the uninjured areas the athlete will experience less muscle atrophy (shrinking) and reconditioning. The exercise bike-elliptical and versa climber offer a non-impact way to keep aerobic function while recovering. Back and Neck injuries are challenging yet doable. Coach McAuliffe has lots of experience working with local M.D.'s, Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists and Chiropractors in designing programs that complement their prescriptions and recommendations. Simply put …..this philosophy helps speed recovery and getting back on the field. It is also a great way to keep upbeat and positive. Exercise positively affects mood enhancing chemicals.

4 – “Is my Child too young to lift weights?”

As long as they are able to walk on their own the answers is NO. The better question….Is my child too young to lift weights unsupervised or with someone who has no credentials? The answer is yes especially when under 18 years of age. The myth that lifting will stunt growth is completely false. As a matter of fact, a properly designed program will stimulate the body to secrete lots of extra growth hormone, optimal performance and durability.

5 – “What if my student athlete has a mandatory lifting program at his or her school?” Jmpower has always prided itself on being able to program athletes who also attend school based programs. Most of these programs are overcrowded and supervised by a sport coach….not a CSCS (there are only a few in the Shore Conference). We will fill in the gaps, especially in the speed, flexibility, conditioning areas. We encourage our kids to participate in these programs for team building and leadership training.

6 – “Should my child train while playing during the season?” Strength and Conditioning is a year round commitment for healthy, successful athletes. The program changes a lot during periods of heavy competition but the kids who averages 2x weekly will keep the strength-speed-size and power they worked so hard developing in the off and preseason. Recovery sessions during this time are critical for durability. This school offers different sessions for different goals. Whether it’s Strength/Speed or Recovery we want healthy optimal performing athletes. (How often should my child exercise/play sports, weekly-monthly-yearly?) Multi-Sport Athlete Research shows that kids need at least 1 hour of rigorous exercise daily to be the best student athlete they can be. Here is where it gets tricky. Coach McAuliffe has been helping Multi-Sport Athletes manage their activities for years. There are lots of Sports Skill trainers-clubs-and travel teams all pulling at your kids’ time. After all they need to prioritize schoolwork.

7- “Will my Female Student Athlete get big muscles from lifting weights?”

The best news of the day is NO. Females can get all the benefits from lifting like Speed, Strength, Power, and Durability without the Size that the Males get. Females lack the Testosterone that Males have so the muscle Hyper-

trophy (size) is minimal during training, especially if they follow a solid nutrition plan. Typically girls will gain some lean body mass i.e. 10 to 12 lbs. while in high school where boys can gain 60 to 80 lbs.

8 – “How can my son/daughter lose or gain weight?”

Gaining muscle and losing fat is one of our specialties. We have actually seen our athletes gain 100 lbs. of lean body mass while in high school. Just ask Shane Mertz, the starting left tackle at Northwestern. Then ask All-Shore Lacrosse player Colin Shea how he lost 50 lbs. of body fat while in high school. We have helped hundreds of females lose thousands of pounds of fat, but they are less comfortable talking about those before pictures. The basic goals for weight gain are for medium to small framed athletes 15 lbs. per year for boys and 3 lbs. for girls per year. Large framed 25 lbs. per year for boys and 5 lbs. for girls. The way we accomplish that is first get them to commit to 120 to 150 Strength and Conditioning sessions per year. Whether it’s with us, at home or at school consistency and technique are the keys. Keeping a positive or negative energy balance with the right Eating Plan is a key. We use the My Fitness Pal app to help them be accountable for their caloric intake. More than half of our athletes have experienced tremendous results with the safety and quality SSP line of sports nutrition products (especially to gain weight) for the last 5 years. (sspnutrition.com use our discount code 3009 to save $ on these Jersey safe effective dosage controlled products). I alsoSporting believe that every student athlete should have an individually designed Vitamin/Mineral/Fish oil plan. Go to jmpoweru. idlife.com and take the free assessment to see Doctor Recommendations and compare prices of the products you already use. This customized plan is delivered right to your door. If our general student program does not work, we will offer 1 on 1 private counseling with a certified Nutritionist.

9 – “How do I increase Speed to ready for Camp or Combine Testing like the 40-yard dash?” Again I say you have come to the right place. Since Coaching Donald Brown (RBC-NFL) to a 4.27 second 40-yard dash, I have been on the cutting edge of the Science of Optimal Speed Development. Having studied the likes of Usain Bolt, we know that the rate of muscle force production during ground striking is the x factor in developing

News • September 4 - September Page 27 4.4 40-yard dash has a back squat max at 25 2x body weight speed. It’s no wonder why nearly every athlete that runs a

or better. When Donnie Brown came to me his max was 300 and running a 4.7. In a little more than a year his squat was 425 while gaining 20 lbs. of muscle when he ran his dazzling 4.27 two times in a row. We look at flexibility, movement quality, strength, body fat, and of course, running technique as factors that directly affect speed. After the assessment we can customize a routine that gets results

Here’s where we lead the field. Sport Psychology and Moti-Jersey vational techniques have been built into our infrastructure for 20 years. Having won 4 World and 9 National Titles, Coach McAuliffe has done extensive research and training in this area. Our NEW Stretch and Psyche Class will be a perfect solution. This class will teach deep breathing, focus, concentration, yoga, image visualization, progressive neuromuscular relaxation, and positive thinking - controlling your thoughts will help you control your body.

10 – “Can I help my student Athlete stop Choking?

Salt Creek Grille One of the 64 Garden State Companies Named Finalist In Great Oak Awards New Jersey Monthly to honor the state’s most philanthropic companies. MORRISTOWN (May 2015)—New Jersey Monthly continues its tradition of recognizing all that’s great in the Garden State with its second annual Great Oak Awards. The magazine announced that 64 New Jersey companies are 2015 finalists for the Great Oaks, which honor the state’s most generous companies.

tion. Generous support at the sold-out event helped the foundation hit its million-dollar mark in cumulative donations to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). In 2014, founder Kristen Gillette was presented with New Jersey Monthly's "Seeds of Hope" award, Garrett Kroeger which honors the state's most dedicated volunteers.

Salt Creek Grille, Rumson, is one of the Monmouth County companies named as a finalist for its annual fundraising program for charities meeting children’s needs. For the past 12 years the popular waterfront restaurant’s co-owner Steve Bidgood has selected a different charity as Salt Creek Grille’s charity of the year. In January a flag bearing the charity’s logo is flown from the flagpole at the base of the Oceanic Bridge all year long for public awareness. In April the annual Salt Creek Grille Wine and Martini Tasting Fundraiser is held to raise money for its charity. 100 percent of the funds raised go directly to the charity. Twelve charities have benefitted and over $825,000 has been raised to date. This year’s Wine & Martini Tasting raised nearly $115,000 for pediatric brain cancer research - the top grossing to date – was held on April 16 and benefitted The Kortney Rose Founda-

CLEAN SWEEP FOR CBA BASEBALL A Look Back At The SCT/state Champs By Eric Braun

Lincroft, NJ – The Christian Brothers Academy Baseball team became just the second team in Shore Conference history to complete the 5 Championships Sweep in one season, joining the 2004 Wall Township High School baseball team. The Colts capped off a remarkable run and season when they defeated undefeated Don Bosco Prep and then ranked #1 team in New Jersey 7-0 to win the NJSIAA Non-Public A title at Toms River East High School. The Colts were led by junior pitcher Luca Dalatri’s dominating performance against Bosco in which he struck out 12 and allowed only 4 hits to one of the top offenses in the state. Dalatri has now improved to 20-0 over the past two seasons. Dalatri who has already committed to the University of North Carolina, showed poise and control the entire game against Don Bosco mixing up his pitches and keeping batters off balance the entire day. Dalatri along with catcher Brandon Martorano, also a University of North Carolina commit, both homered in the finals and helped lead the Colts to victory.

Christian Brothers finished with a record of 27-5 which included a 14-game winning streak to close out the season; winners of the Shore Conference A North division, a 9-5 win over Colts Neck in the Monmouth County Tournament Championships, a 4-0 win over rival Red Bank Catholic in the Shore Conference Championships, a 2-0 win over Bishop Eustace to capture the NJSIAA South Jersey Non Public A Championships and the ultimate prize of their NJSIAA Non Public win over Don Bosco.

Martorano’s 2-out 2-run homerun in the first inning started the offensive explosion and put the Colts on top 2-0. They would add to the lead in the second inning with a bases loaded walk to Will Morgan and another run when Dalatri was hit by a pitch to put them up 4-0. Dalatri’s blast in the fifth put them up 5-0. Christian Brothers added to the lead in the sixth inning when Andrew Buccellatto laced and RBI single to make it 6-0 and then Trey Nelson drove in the final run in the seventh.

This will mark the second year in a row when the Shore Conference will have one of its own sitting atop the State rankings. With CBA’s win over Don Bosco, the Colts will finish #1 in the state. The Colts will be a clear #1 to start next season returning Dalatri, top slugger in catcher Martorano (.640 avg, 7 HR, 15 RBI’s), leadoff hitter Cid Porter (.452 avg) and a majority of their pitching staff in Ken Campbell, Joe Gargana and Nick Hohenstein. Both Dalatri and Martorano should be top 100 prospects in next year’s 2016 Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft.
