Shore Conference Girls’ Hoops Wrap-Up

By Ted Kaiser JERSEY SHORE - The 2015-2016 year has proven to be another stellar season for the Shore Conference girls’ basketball teams. With two teams, Manasquan and St. John Vianney, reaching the Tournament of Champions and another, Middletown South, also winning a sectional title, the area asserted itself against statewide competition once again.

Manasquan reached their third consecutive TOC final and fourth visit in five seasons with a 59-50 win over Rutgers Prep last Friday evening.

Dara Mabrey, with 22 points for the defending champs, will go for a second TOC title in a row and third overall (2012, 2015).

Also on Friday, SJV defeated Lenape 57-36 to set up another battle with Manasquan. This time the battle is in the TOC Final, which was to be played on Monday night. Kelly Campbell and Kimi Evans each scored in double figures to lead the

way. It is the second year in a row with the TOC Final played between Shore Conference teams. SJV is 3-0 against Manasquan this season.

In the Shore Conference Tournament held in February, SJV earned a 59-48 win over Manasquan for the crown. SJV held off St. Rose in the semifinals and Manasquan just nipping Rumson-Fair Haven by three points in the other semifinal. Middletown South, Red Bank Catholic, Neptune and Colts Neck were the other quarterfinalists in the tournament.

CBA and Shore Conference Hit The Mat in 2016 Season

By Michael Ward

The high school wrestling season in the Shore Conference was one that was fiercely competitive and saw a lot of the unexpected. But the one thing that stayed constant was Christian Brothers Academy’s dominance over the rest of the field as this season, they were the only Shore Conference Team to capture a Championship in the 113-pound weight class.

pea simply couldn’t contain a quick Rivera. Rivera ended the match with a 6-3 decision in his advantage.

Division by division, most of the Shore Conference was competitive with teams in-region, but fell to others who resided outside of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The hill proved high and steep to climb, as Rivera was taken to his back and looked as if he was in trouble during the first period of the championship match. After the buzzer sounded, Rivera was down 4-0 with nerves running high for everyone watching.

In Shore A Central, Holmdel and Monmouth Regional did phenomenally well amongst competition in their division.

They both racked up 4-0 and 3-1 records respectively.

Overall, they lagged in matches throughout the state as Holmdel racked up a 12-10-1 record and Monmouth sustained a 14-10 record.

Shore A North had Howell and Middletown North at 6-1 records in-division, with impressive records of 26-5 and 19-5 overall. CBA, who also competes in the same division, saw a 5-1 in-division record on the season and a 14-6 overall.

In Shore A South, Southern Regional lead the way during the regular season, boasting an 8-0 in-division record and an 18-1 overall record, easily beating the rest of the shore. Unfortunately, they couldn’t bring that same intensity to state finals.

But CBA was able to qualify for the State Finals and push further than Southern on the big stage in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. Sebastian Rivera of CBA proved that he was ready for the lights at the end of a long season.

Due to Rivera’s second-seeded placement going into finals, he skipped the preliminaries. Instead, Anthony Capece of Cranford and Victor Lopez of West Orange fought it out with Lopez getting the 6-3 decision win.

From that point on, Rivera came out swinging.

CBA’s 113-pounder scored a huge 10-2 major decision win out of the gate in pre-quarterfinals against West Orange’s Lopez.

From that point on, tougher competition didn’t faze Rivera at all.

Next up on his path of destruction was third-seeded Lucas Siegfried of Highland. Rivera showed the densely packed crowd of the quarterfinals the spectators that there was a large gap in ability despite their small gap in rankings, as Rivera was able to win by pinfall in just 3:38.

The win paved the way for Sebastian Rivera to face the No. 1 seeded wrestler in the 113-pound weight class, Jonathan Tropea of St. Joseph.

Intimidation was not a factor in the slightest sense as Tro-

In the final, Rivera was slated to face top Delbarton wrestler, Patrick Glory. In order to win, CBA’s star wrestler would have to bring everything he had to the match and fight back against a tough opponent.

But Sebastian Rivera wasn’t concerned.

CBA and Shore Conference Hit The Mat in 2016 Season continued from page 4

He turned his deficit into a 5-5 tie and then took down the agile Glory. With his opponent solidly grounded, Rivera went in for the pin.

The pin marked the only one in any weight class in the state finals.

Future Solider Emily Haney, Airborne Combat Engineer I’m Emily Haney. I am an 18 year old senior at Lenape Regional High School in Medford, New Jersey. I have lived in South Jersey for most of my life.

I have always been the girl that hangs around with the guys and playing football, fishing, mudding, anything outdoors. In school, I am a member of the National Honors Society with a 3.6 GPA and a 4.3 weighted GPA. I have been a cheerleader almost all of my life. I have been involved in figure skating, gymnastics, soccer and many other sports in my lifetime. In school, I have helped kids with autism and other special needs. I volunteer my time to tutor kids not only in my school, but all the elementary schools in my township. I am involved in the American Sign Language Club and Athletic Training Club. I absolutely love football and sports and just being involved in general.

This also marks CBA’s first state finals win since 1968.

In the 106-pound weight class, three wrestlers from the shore region qualified to compete. Out of the three, Darby Diedrich of Howell, Hunter Gutierrez of Lacey and Luke Ecklof of SJV; only Ecklof made it the furthest to quarterfinals before being defeated in a 7-2 decision by Michael Kelly of St. Peter’s Prep.

In the 120-pound weight class, three wrestlers from the shore region also qualified for finals. Up to quarterfinals once again, only Gianni Ghione of Brick Memorial advanced before being defeated by Nicholas Raimo of Hanover Park by a 9-3 decision. Raimo eventually made it to the championship round before losing to Brandon Cray of Steinert.

Three wrestlers qualified to compete in the 126-pound weight class. Unfortunately, Matt Barnett of Southern, Russell Benson of Raritan and Matt McGowen didn’t score wins in main bracket competition.

•In August of 2015, I was seventeen, just completed my junior year and I knew exactly what I wanted to accomplish after high school. I wanted to attend Rowan University like my mother did and get my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. Eventually I would like to be in the FBI. My recruiter Staff

In the 132-pound weight class, Anthony Gagliano of Howell and Jake Benner of Ocean Township made strong showings, but came up short in the pre-quarterfinals round.

Owen McClave however, made a run all the way to the semi-finals, where he was narrowly defeated 2-1 in a tie breaker by Phillipsburg’s Brandon Paetzell.

Sergeant (SSG) Schultz helped explain to me how I could achieve my education while gaining valuable job and leadership training. I would be able to serve my country while working towards my goals.

The Army gives me a way to be outdoors and explore different places around the world while helping and protecting my country and the millions of people in it.

•I chose to become an Airborne Combat Engineer because I saw it as an opportunity to handle weapons, explosives, and solve problems in a fast paced environment. I look forward to traveling the country with some of the best units in the world. I have been in the Future Soldier program for about a year and I have already learned so much. This has been the best decision in my life. I want to make a difference and my recruiter SSG Schultz at the team at the Willingboro Recruiting Center has given me that opportunity. They have supported me and encouraged me to excel and try my best, not only with myself, but with all aspects of my life such as my family, education and my personal commitments. I am proud to be part of the Army Team!

Howell’s Kris Lindermann started the day with high hopes in the 138-pound weight class, but had to give up his bid in the quarterfinals five minutes in due to an injury.

John Finnerty of Point Pleasant Beach was the shore’s star in the 145-weight class. He made it all the way to the semi-finals before he was defeated by pinfall by Michael O’Malley of Hasbrouck Heights.

In the 152-pound weight class, Toms River East’s Andrew Meyers battled all the way to the championship round.

As the fifth seed, he had to battle through other wrestlers who were better ranked and had better records. He ended up falling 16-6 in a major decision against first-seeded Stephan Glasgow of Bound Brook.

Anthony Vetrano of Middletown North proved best-inregion when it came to the 182-pound weight class. He battled all the way to the semi-finals before falling to Brandon Kui of DePaul in a 10-4 decision.

Joseph McKenzie of Wall was within reach of an appearance in the 195-pound finals. He opened up on several opponents along the way to semi-finals, but was narrowly edged out in an ultimate tie-breaker with Dean Drugac of Morris Knolls.

Girls Swimming: For the 2015–2016 season, girls swim season history was made when one team won its first title. Meanwhile, other teams dealt with the ups and down of competing at such an intense level. Although every team does come out on top: one has to grow one meet at a time and continue to advance both individually, and as a team.

Manasquan was the top team of the division Group B, and also landed themselves the best seed in the Central B Championship Tournament. They achieved a bye until the third round, where they faced the fourth seed Hightstown. Manasquan came out on top of the third round, 107-63, and advanced to the final round. During the final round, Manasquan #1 seed took on the second seed West Windsor-Plainsboro South. The girls of Manasquan dominated and won the final round, 111-59.

The team of Tara Fox, Vanessa Lerner, Sophia Maita, and Carly Swell won the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 4:05.99. Rumson-Fair Haven ended the season with a 6-5 record.

Colts Neck Experiences the Thrill of Victory and Agony of Defeat in State Playoffs

By Mike Ready

WEST LONG BRANCH – It was a banner season for the Colts Neck Cougars, and one that will not be soon forgotten by the Cougar faithful. They finished with a 23-5 overall record, winning the Bulldawg Tournament in Rumson, the Shore Conference Class B North title and the Central Jersey Group IV championship.

All accolades aside, Colts Neck let a huge win slip through their fingers in their 55-50 loss to Atlantic City in the NJSIAA Group IV semifinal. That loss has to still sting after holding a 42-35 lead with just over six minutes left in the game then down by one, with a chance to tie it at the line with 38.3 seconds remaining, but ultimately coming up short.

“It is what it is,” Colts Neck head coach Lou Piccola said. “I’m just so proud of these kids. Every day, they gave us what they had.”

Senior shooting guard Lloyd Daniels Jr., son of former NBA player Lloyd Daniels, played

his final game in a Cougar uniform, along all four other starters. They had a fine allaround game in the loss scoring a game-high of 23 points, and grabbing boards with three assists and two steals.

Clarke’s jumper set off a wild celebration on the Cougars home court that was long overdue. After three previous unsuccessful trips to the state sectional finals, the Cougars finally had their championship.

Colts Neck played the game without their second-leading scorer, Tom O’Reilly, who didn’t make the trip due to a schoolrelated matter, according to Coach Piccola.

After a disappointing two-point loss to No. 12 seed Long Branch as the No. 5 seed in the Shore Conference Tournament second round, the Cougars reeled off six straight wins to set up their run deep into the playoffs, which included a 20-point win versus third-seeded South Brunswick (22-5) in the CJGIV semifinals.

That loss came just two days after their exhilarating buzzerbeater win over Freehold Township in the Central Jersey Group IV final.

There the Cougars were trailing the Colonials most the game, but twice answering go-ahead baskets by Freehold Township.

In the final three minutes, junior Brendan Clarke hit a highlycontested 10-foot shot as the clock expired hitting nothingbut-net for a dramatic 45-44 win to claim the first boys basketball sectional championship in program history.

Jackson Memorial came in second in their division behind Manasquan. The standout swimmer from Jackson Memorial would have to be Gabby Wilson. She came out on top with the best time for five events, including the 200 IM, 50 and 100 free, 100 butterfly, and 100 breaststroke. Jackson Memorial ended the season with a winning record of 5-1.

The Brick Memorial Mustangs had a few players that had the best time in multiple events. Haley Bodner came out on top with the best time in three events.

Bodner clocked 2:12.20 for the 200 free, 5:49.73 for the 500 freestyle, and had a time of 2:34.27 in the 200 IM. Teammate Sam Brow had the best time in the 100 butterfly and the 100 freestyle. Kim Egan was dominant in the 50 free, and 100 backstroke. The Mustangs ended the season with an overall record of 5-5-1.

The Colts Neck Cougars have two standout players who achieved the best times in multiple events: Megan Judge and Kayleigh Hoagland. Hoagland was victorious in four events, including the 200 IM, 100 butterfly, 500 free, and the 100 breaststroke. Teammate Megan Judge had the best time for three of the freestyle events, including the 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free. The Cougars ended with a winning record of 9-4.

The Tom River North Mariners had one very dominant swimmer on their team, Junior Marianne Molloy. She had the best time for 4 events. Molloy swam the 50 free in 27.10, the 200 free in 1:59.06, and also had the best time in the 200 IM, and 500 freestyle. Toms River North ended the season with a record of 4-1.

The Marlboro Mustangs had two girls that led in stats for more then one event. Junior Kiaranina Liwag earned the best time in the 50 free in 29.13, the 100 butterfly in 1:11.00 and the 100 backstroke in 1:10.03. Freshman Dana Diserio achieved the best times for two events: the 100 breaststroke and the 500 freestyle. The Mustangs ended their season with an overall record of 5-6.

The girls swim teams that are hoping to improve next season are: Monmouth Regional (0-5), Freehold Boro (0-6), Manalapan (0-6), Brick Township (0-8), Toms River East (1-3), Howell (1-4), Jackson Liberty (1-8) and Long Branch (2-9).

In this one, Cougars senior Jordan DeGroot’s hoop with just four seconds showing on the game clock ended the marathon affair. Daniels Jr. led the Cougars with a game-high 20 points in the win.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this group of kids,” Colts Neck head coach Lou Piccola said. “It was a great run, a great group of kids.

Winning our first sectional title make’s this year special.”

Ocean Township ended the season with a 2-8-1 record. The top player stats came from senior Danielle Zimmerman. Zimmerman had the best time in three events. She clocked in with a time 1:13.71 in the 100 butterfly, 59.84 in the 100 free, and 1:09.79 in the 100 backstroke.

For the Neptune Scarlet Fliers, there was one member of the team that stood out with the best times for three events. That would be Neptune’s Marie Canencia. She clocked a time of 28.12 for the 40 free, 1:00.80 for the 100 freestyle, and 1:14.30 for the 100 backstroke. The Neptune Scarlet Fliers ended the season with a record of 5-6.

Colts Neck has a flair for the dramatic. At the Bulldawg Tournament last January, the Cougars overcame Rumson’s Brendan Barry’s game-high 32 points to outlast Rumson in double overtime, 60-57.

Daniels Jr., a 6-foot-3 shooting guard, was named to the Shore Conference Coaches All-Shore second team after averaging 18.2 points per game this season for the Cougars, as well as being named the Class B North Player of the Year. O’Reilly was selected to the Coaches All-Division first team.

The girls of the Holmdel swim team earned themselves the third seed in Group C of the Championship Tournament. They achieved a bye the first round, and went on to play seventh seed Metuchen. During the second round, Holmdel lost in a nail-biter 86-84. Ginger Hansen won two events: the 50 free in 24:70, and the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:02.60. Holmdel’s Karin Schienvar came in first with a time of 1:10.86 in the 100 breaststroke. The team also won the 200 free relay and 200 medley relay. Holmdel ended the season with a 6-2 record.

For Shore Regional, there were two members of the team that had the best times in two events. Helen Grossman completed the 200 free in 2:12.95, and the 100 backstroke in 1:01.14. Her teammate Ellie George had the best time of 2:35.04 for the 200 IM, and completed the 100 free in 1:11.18. Shore Regional ended the season with a winning record of 8-3.

MANASQUAN PULLS OFF THIRD STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Manasquan added freshman Faith Masonius this season, who has become a pivotal playmaker in the paint and everywhere on the court, but it's been a group effort to keep the train rolling.

Manasquan knew the road to the Group 2 championship was going to be different in 2016.

"We trust and [have] faith in every single one of our teammates who steps on the court, and that's a huge factor that a lot of teams don't have," Clark said.

"Even if it's Nikki [Stevens] coming in the post, or Maggie or or anyone else coming in, they're putting 100 percent effort in and it's just a huge helpful factor."

By Michael Ward

After graduating State Player of the Year Marina Mabrey, who paced title runs the past two seasons, Manasquan would be turning to a group of juniors, sophomores and freshmen to keep that high level of play going.

And throughout the season, that group has done just that. Along with their strong play, those underclassmen have emerged as leaders and rocks on the court for Manasquan.

"I think that we knew we had the talent, and I think this group had the confidence in themselves talent-wise, but it's nice to see them stepping up," Kukoda said. "Although they have the experience, we have a young group. To see them step up and really jell together at this point is a nice way [for them] to live up to the expectations."

That talent and leadership was on full display Sunday as Manasquan rolled past High Point, 68-43, for its third straight state championship.

Juniors Stella Clark and Addie Masonius sophomores Dara Mabrey and Carly Geissler, plus freshman Faith Masonius, all set the tone early and made key contributions to a dominant performance.

Clark, Mabrey and Addie Masonius were all key contributors and were reasons the team won the state title and Tournament of Champions last year, but they have taken an even bigger step in leading the charge this season.

"It's definitely been a learning process throughout this whole thing, but we've done a really good job, and we talk out a lot of things together, which helps a lot," Clark said. "Marina was really good as a solo leader, and I think it's good that we have a few leaders on the team. It's not just one person. On the court, people can look up to me, look up to Dara, look up to Addie, look up to Faith."

The team also hasn't had the benefit of a senior being a big part of the rotation, with Gillian Black missing the entire season with a knee injury.

But Manasquan's underclassmen embraced the challenge and ran with it from the outset of the season.

"It's a lot different, and it's only going to bring better things because I'm only a sophomore and Stella's only a junior," Mabrey said. "So I think that's the best part of it starting now."

Manasquan’s Championship win gave them the momentum they needed to enter the tournament of champions on strong footing. It now looks that they will be ending the same way it did the past two years: playing for the Tournament of Champions title in Trenton.

After rallying past sixth-seeded University and upending second-seeded Rutgers Prep, third-seeded Manasquan will get a fourth matchup with top-seeded St. John Vianney in the T of C final Monday at Sun National Bank Center in Trenton.

Manasquan's rotation is young, with its main six consisting of three juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. But that group features plenty of experience in juniors Clark and Addie Masonius and sophomore Dara Mabrey: all key players on last season's title team. In even bigger roles this year, they've continued to thrive.

TOP DOCS 2012 - 2013 - 2014

MANASQUAN’S #10 DARA MABREY Clark and Addie Masonius will play in their third T of C final in as many high school seasons, but now as two of the main pieces on the court, this appearance has a little extra meaning.

"Being a junior and one of the main leaders on the court this year, it's just a huge accomplishment and such a great feeling being back there," Clark said.

"Knowing that I could do it myself, along with the teammates we've had in the past."

"It feels so good because a lot of people didn't expect us to be here," Mabrey said. "It kind of puts a chip on our shoulder a little bit, and it just feels great.

I've never seen my team or my coach so happy, but we know that we have to focus for Monday."

For the second straight year, Manasquan will get a very familiar opponent in the final. For the fourth time, the Warriors will square off against St. John Vianney, and the Lancers won all three so far, including a matchup in the Shore Conference Tournament final.

With Marina Mabrey at the forefront the past two season, Manasquan leaned on her big production to power the team night in and night out, with everyone else contributing around her.

Manasquan has been close in all three games, including an overtime game in the first meeting. Against a familiar opponent, Manasquan is ready for another challenge.

Saint John Vianney Storms into Tournament of Champions

By Mike Ready

WEST LONG BRANCH – Saint John Vianney has not only lived up to all the preseason hype surrounding this year’s team, but has exceeded all expectations heaped upon them. They have ascended to the No. 1 ranking in New Jersey and to No. 13 in Max Prep’s Xcellent 25 National Rankings.

With four senior starters, a three-year starting junior and a fifth senior, the Saint John Vianney Lancers (29-1) have been virtually unbeatable, buzz-sawing their way through some of the stiffest competition in New Jersey. The only blemish on their record is a three-point defeat versus undefeated Villa Maria Academy Erie (Pa) – ranked No. 12 nationally.

So far this season, the Lancers (29-1) have captured every title obtainable to them, including the Shore Conference Class A Central title, the Shore Conference Tournament championship, the NJSIAA Non-Public South A and Non-Public A crowns.

This season’s state title added to Saint John Vianney’s legacy of excellence as they now have accumulated 13 Shore Conference Tournament Championships, countless divisional titles, 16 Non-Public Group A Championships and one Non-Public Group B Championships.

The Lancers are led by first-team All-State guard Kelly Campbell, who has already committed to continue her career at DePaul University next season.

A supreme all-around player, Campbell has battled through injuries this season that caused her to miss a number of games. But her toughness, willingness to play with pain and her ability to lead by example has been an inspiration to her teammates.

Still smarting from their loss to St. Rose in the TOC semifinals a year ago, St. John Vianney has used the loss as a rallying cry throughout the season with the theme of “unfinished business” in the forefront of each and every players’ mind.

Junior center/forward Kim Evans – a third-team All Non-Public pick in 2015 – is the team’s leading scorer and a force blocking shots and in the paint. Senior forward Gabrielle Capronegro is the team’s leading rebounder who excels, defending the lane and often taking on the opponent’s best player. Senior guard Tina Lebron is the team’s three-point shooting ace that can change the complexion of a game in the blink of an eye. Seniors Zoe Pero and Pinho are allpurpose guards that score and defend. Freshman Sarah Karpell has had a breakout season which gives the Lancers scoring punch off the bench.

After the Lancers’ win over Immaculate Heart, senior Vanessa Pinho put things into perspective, “It’s very exciting to win this. But losing last year in the TOC, we know we want to make it to that championship game. Our goal is to win it all. This is exciting for the time being, but once we’re back in the gym, it’s time to look at our next opponent and get that done too.”

“For this group, it’s whatever it’s going to take to win,” St. John Vianney head coach Dawn Karpell said. “I’m really lucky as a coach where I don’t have to get them to buy into anything.

They do it because, one, they want to win, and two, they love playing with each other and they don’t want that to end.”

Saint John Vianney has won six Tournament of Championship titles in program history. If the Lancers can fulfill their dream this season, it would mark the school’s first TOC title since 2009.

Awarded a bye as the No. 1 seed, Saint John Vianney will take on fourth-seeded Lenape in one of two Tournament of Champions semifinals at the Pine Belt Arena on Friday. Lenape (28-2) is ranked No. 10 in the state.

After demolishing Immaculate Heart 72-31 in the NJSIAA Non-Public A final, the Lancers are headed to the Tournament of Champions for the second straight year.

2015-16 Shore Conference Boys Basketball Season

By Mike Ready

WEST LONG BRANCH – Believe it or not, the Shore Conference basketball season has already come and gone.

The memories still linger of another stellar year on the hardcourt for a host of teams and players.

The Colts Neck Cougars won (23-5, 12-2) the Class B North title for its first divisional title since 2012-13, before winning the program’s first-ever sectional championship on Brendan Clark’s buzzer-beater to take down No. 4 seed Freehold Township 54-44 in the Central Jersey Group IV final. Colts Neck held a 42-35 lead over the Atlantic City Vikings, with a little more than six minutes to go in the NJSIAA Group IV semifinal. They couldn’t hold off the Vikings, as Atlantic City rallied for a 55-50 win.

Colts Neck was the sole Shore Conference representative in the state, and the only team to win a sectional title. The Patriots (20-10, 10-4) should be applauded for a nice playoff run, which saw them upset No. 1 seed Hunterdon Central in the semifinals before their heartbreaking loss to Colts Neck in the final.

Manasquan (24-4, 11-1) captured the Class A Central title. They reached the CJGII semifinals as the No. 2 seed before bowing to No. 1 seed Bordentown in the final.

Christian Brothers Academy (22-6, 13-1) grabbed the Class A North championship prior to their loss to No. 3 seed St. Augustine as the No. 2 seed in the Non-Public South A semifinals.

Toms River North (23-5, 14-0) went undefeated in Class A South play to win the title before being upset by No. 13 seeded Cherry Hill West. Mater Dei (26-2, 14-0) also had an unblemished divisional record to bring home the Class B Central title, but were edged out in the Non-Public South B semifinals by No. 2 seed Gill St. Bernard as the sixth seed.

In Class B South play, Lakewood (21-7, 13-1) won its sixth straight divisional title edging out Manchester (19-8, 133). Lakewood advanced to the SJGII semifinals as the No. 3 seed, but were upset by seventh seed Medford Tech.

Mater Dei won the programs first-ever Shore Conference Tournament title. They overcame a 18-point deficit with just over three minutes to play in the third quarter for a thrilling 50-43 win over CBA. It was the Colts’ second straight devastating loss in the final after losing to Rumson-Fair Haven in last year’s final.

Southern Regional’s Peyton Wejnert led the Shore Conference in scoring with a 29.4 points per-game average. Wejnert also averaged double-digits in rebounding with 11.7 boards per game. He scored his 2000th point of his high school career in the Rams loss to Lenape in the SJGIV opening round. Wejnert is the first Shore Conference player to hit the 2000th point plateau since Central’s Jermaine Clay scored 2,210 in the 1986-90 season’s.

The Shore Conference Coaches’ All-Shore first team included: Wejnert, Rumson’s Brendan Barry (25.7 points, 4.3 assists, 2 steals); Manasquan’s Ryan Jensen (14.8 points, 13.8 rebounds); freshman Bryan Antoine from Ranney (20.6 points, 3.8 assists) and Mater Dei’s junior Elijah Barnes (11.3 points, 2 blocks.). The Coaches Player of the Year was awarded to Christian Brothers Academy’s Pat Andree (22.9 points).

Barry became Rumson’s all-time scoring leader with 1,419 points before finishing his career with 1,710 points. Barry also became the first player in 14 years to score 50 points in a game when he dropped in an even 50 against Middletown North on February 13, 2016.

Southern’s Nolan Hall scored 52 for the Rams in 2002.

As far as post-season careers go, Wejnert has committed to Pace University. Andree will continue his playing career at Lehigh University. Jensen decided on The College of New Jersey. Barry is mulling over numerous Division I offers before making his decision.

The second team is also loaded with talent including: Manasquan’s Jack Sheehan, Mater Dei’s NyQuan McCombs, Lakewood’s Amir Tyler, Colts Neck Lloyd Daniels and Ranney’s Scottie Lewis.

CBA 3rd STRAIGHT TRIP TO THE ROCK

By Lindsey Ward

On March 7, 2016, the Christian Brothers Academy Colts ice hockey team took their third consecutive trip to the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. for the NJSIAA Non-Public State Finals. This was done in the hope of capturing the state title for the third straight year.

This was not just your average state final game. It was a rematch of this year’s Gordon Cup final that took place in February against CBA’s rival Delbarton. There, CBA clinched the Gordon Cup. Going into the final, CBA wanted nothing more then to come out victorious. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

They played their hearts out from the very beginning when the team’s skates touched the ice to the very end of the game.

When Tyler Kobryn scored at 7:48 into the game, Delbarton gained an early lead. CBA’s Liam Noonan tied the score 1-1, just 2:55 into the second period with assists from teammates Nicholas Lidondici and Derek Contessa. With just 7:02 remaining in the second period, Delbarton’s John Farinacci’s goal took the lead 2-1. 48 seconds later, Delbarton’s Danny Farr scored the winning goal on their second power play of the game. The final score of the NJSIAA Non-Public State Finals was 3-1.

CBA’S #2 RYAN BOGAN Photos by: Arielle Figueredo

After the game, Coach Ryan Bogan gave his thoughts, “It wasn’t like last year when we were down 3-1 and came back. We didn’t have that this year. We didn’t have that energy left in our bodies. And the third period was evident.”

Though the Colts season may be over, Coach Bogan noted, “These guys are leaving an incredible legacy.”

The Senior Hockey Class of 2016 consists of: Ryan Bogan Jr., Michael Cerneo, Anthony Cucich, John Downey, Christopher Hayes, Joseph Marsicano, Mitchell Shafer, James Stanger, James Timko and Cristian Winters.

They have made three consecutive trips to the Non-Public State Championships. CBA’s three consecutive trips to “The Rock” is another rare accomplishment. This is something that many programs around the state can only dream about achieving. They have won two straight state titles, and came out victorious with two Gordon Cups. Coach Bogan could not be more proud of all of the accomplishments that his team has made this season.

After Winning Third Straight Sectional Title, Scoreless Second Quarter Dooms Middletown South in State Final

By Mike Ready

TOMS RIVER – Middletown South’s dream of getting another shot at the Tournament of Champions title at the NJSIAA Group III champions were washed away by an almost unimaginable five-point first half. The Middletown South Eagles were held scoreless in the second quarter of their 47-36 loss to Old Tappan Golden Knights (26-4) in Sunday’s game at the Pine Belt Arena in Toms River.

The game was a rematch of last year’s Group III final when the Eagles, 25-4 beat the Golden Knights, 50-42 for the program’s first-ever Group III championship.

tially win the game. However, it was not to be, as Old Tappan – led by Emily Crevani’s eight points in the final minute of the game – outscored the Eagles 10-5 down the stretch to win their program’s first ever Group III title.

Isla Brennan’s field goal off a feed from Steph Karcz cut the Old Tappan’s lead to six. Once possession was secured, the Eagles had the ball with a shot at cutting the deficit to four with just 2:44 left in the game.

After defeating No. 3 seed Neptune as the No. 1 seed in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III final for their third consecutive sectional title, the Eagles beat Ocean City 51-41 in the group semifinal. This gave the Eagles a chance to repeat the victory as NJSIAA Group III champions, and take their second straight trip to the Tournament of Champions.

However, in the group final, the Eagles – ranked No. 12 in the state – came out of the gate tight and looked uncharacteristically uncomfortable from the outset.

At Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, we know that as an athlete, you need to be in a state of continual improvement, continual practice and continual innovation. To stay fit and functional, it’s crucial to address health issues: not just as they arise, but also preventatively. It’s no secret that many top athletes employ alternative medicine to keep them at the top of their game.

But which of those practices are helpful for the rest of us?

• Acupuncture/Dry Needling: Acupuncture and the related field of dry needling both use intramuscular stimulation via small, fine needles in order to relieve pain/inflammation and encourage healing.

The benefits of acupuncture and dry needling are well established, with few risks when practiced by professionals.

• Kinesio Taping: Kinesio taping and related methods are rehabilitative tape placements designed to provide support and stability without movement restriction as well as reduce swelling. Although Kinesio taping is noninvasive, when applied improperly it can cause tissue damage. Therefore it’s crucial that a certified or experienced practitioner performs this treatment.

They trailed 23-5 at the half after shooting 9 percent, 2-for-21 from the field, before Old Tappan, ranked No. 17 in the state, pushed the lead to 21 points, 36-15, with 2:53 remaining in the third quarter. The Eagles then proceeded to scratch and claw their way back into the game pulling within six, 37-31, with 3:10 remaining in the game.

“It’s not like we haven’t been down big before, and I thought only giving up 23 points in the half that we were still okay,” stated Eagles coach Tom Brennan. He continued, “The way the makeup of this group is… they always just support each other and every timeout, every huddle was ‘we’re good, we’re going to chip away, get it to 12, get it 10, get it to six.’ They knew there was no 18-point play [and] to just chip away, so we never thought we were out of it.”

Counted for dead just minutes earlier, the Eagles, to their credit, had their chances to inch even closer and poten-

Middletown South continued from page 12 However, the Eagles turned the ball over on that possession and again on their following two possessions, spelling their doom as Old Tappan took advantage of the miscues to close out the game. Crevani went 6-for-6 from the line in the final minute to seal the deal.

Coach Brennan felt the game slip away during that span of turnovers, “I think it was at six with possession on a fast break when the ball went out of bounds that that was the moment where I thought we might need some extra special assistance here,” For the Eagles, just to get to the group final after overcoming one hurdle after another was a testament to their guts and determination.

Coach Brennan underwent lifethreatening quadruple heart bypass surgery on December 31, 2015 and is just now slowly working himself back onto the bench.

After just 14 games, the Eagles lost star forward Haley Delonzo for the season due to ACL surgery after she averaged 12 points and seven rebounds when she went down. Finally, starting forward Julia Valkos just recently returned to the lineup after missing 14 games with an injury.

sion and bravery and heart.

They’ve just been so inspirational all year with everything I’ve gone through. It’s just because they care so much for each other, and they care for me, and I can’t say enough. From a basketball standpoint, win-or-lose does matter, but sometimes what they put on display is so inspiring and meaningful, I can’t ask for more than that. They won a lot of games, especially the seniors, and what they’ve given to me over the years, I just want to bottle up and take it with me forever.”

It was an unfitting ending for the best player to ever come out of the Middletown South girls basketball program as Steph Karcz’ last game in an Eagle uniform sadly ended in tears.

Karcz – who will continue her career at Loyola University - is a remarkable player who was a consistent double-double scorer and rebounder with multiple tripledoubles (points, rebounds and steals) to her credit.

“When we found out she was coming [to Middletown South] because you don’t always get the elite players in the public schools, we knew we were going to be pretty good from a basketball standpoint,” Brennan said. “I didn’t have any idea of how much of an impact she was going to have on me from a human element. She’s such a good person. She’ll give up anything of herself if it makes me better or the team better. It’s a special quality they all have, but a lot of it started with her.”
