Rumson-Fair Haven Girls Lacrosse Continues its Dominance

By Lou Monaco

Having just added a Shore Conference Tournament title to its stacked resume on May 15, Rumson-Fair Haven girls lacrosse team needs to add another shelf to the school’s trophy case.

Senior attacker Brittany Bruno had four goals, including the 200th of her career, and an assist to power top-seeded Rumson-Fair Haven, No. 6 in the NJ.com Top 20, in a 14-4 win over second-seeded Red Bank Catholic in the Central Jersey, Group 2 final in Rumson.

The game was a rematch from both teams’ second game of the season where Rumson-Fair Haven won, 16-7, to extend its winning streak against Shore Conference foes that it started back in 2012.

Senior midfielder Elizabeth Scarrone had a game-high five points, with three goals and two assists, and senior attacker Kyra Weiner and junior attacker Mel Guido each added three goals apiece for Rumson-Fair Haven, which led, 8-3, at halftime. Junior midfielder Meg MacGillis added a goal, and junior attacker Kate Caruso and junior midfielder Gill Curran each had an assist. Sophomore goalie Sophia Bocklage had five saves in the win.

RFH’S #2 KYRA WEINER

Rumson-Fair advanced to face Haddonfield in the Group 2 semifinals on May 31 at Moorestown High School. The Bulldogs are looking for their second straight Group 2 state title.

Rumson-Fair Haven (21-2) has won 13 straight games.

Bruno tallied six goals with an assist, Scarrone added three goals with a team-leading three assists, and Weiner posted three goals with an assist to power top-seeded RFH to a 17-6 victory over third-seeded Freehold Townhship to capture the Shore Conference Tournament title in Lakewood on May 15.

RFH’S #7 MEG MACGILLIS

RFH’S BRITTANY BRUNO’S 200TH GOAL

The three assists by Scarrone gave her 100 for her career.

With the win, Rumson-Fair Haven tied Shore Regional for the most consecutive SCT titles with five and defeated all four tournament opponents this season by at least 10 goals.

Guido had two goals with two assists, Curran tallied two goals with one assist, and senior attacker Taite Santos tacked on one goal for the Bulldogs.

"Sometimes I think we look to pass too much and we don't have to," Rumson-Fair Haven coach Amy O'Keefe said. "I love that they want to pass to each other, but sometimes we drop it and allow the other team to come back down the field quickly, and that kills our momentum. The girls have the talent to drive on anyone, and that's what we did in the second half."

Back-to-Back: TR North Wins Second Consecutive OCT Title

By Dave Correll

Their opponent in the championship game, Southern, beat them earlier in the year, 5-3, and 4-2.

North struggled out of the gate and lost some games they should have won, and it resulted in a negative effect in their overall seeding. So, coming in they were a lower seed than both South (No.1) and Southern (No.3).

Toms River School North notched back-to-back Ocean County Tournament titles with a convincing win over Southern Regional in the championship game by a score of 13-4.

0 0 01

Rutgers commit Jared Belissimo led the way for the Mariners with a six-inning, five-hit, no earnedrun gem to turn away any chance Southern had to match North’s bats, which scored 13 runs on 16 hits. Belissimo commanded his change-up and it set the tone for the rest of the night as he had Southern’s hitters swinging at air all night while he finished with 7 Ks.

1s r 3 u 5 h k ) a 2 O

(73 South, 5

Southern had no answer for stopping the Mariners’ offensive attack after throwing ace Pat Barrett in the semifinal against Manchester Township.

Belissimo also helped his cause at the plate as he went 3-5 including two doubles and an RBI. Justin Schaff led the offensive firepower with a three-hit night including 3 RBI and a triple. Eight of North’s nine batters they brought to the plate ended the game with a hit.

TOMS RIVER NORTH’S NICK SIBILIA

North came into the OCT as the No. 4 seed, and South as the No.1 seed. Two losses to a rival earlier in the season are not easily forgotten.

R 0 91

The offensive firepower and dominating pitching were consistent throughout North’s trip to an OCT championship. But, they did not coast all the way to a title. They faced some familiar teams along the way that gave them some trouble earlier in the season.

J N t,

“Well, last year we split the games against them in the A-South so we really wanted to beat them in the championship to win the overall series,” Rutgers commit Michael Nyistor said. “But, this year losing to them twice in the A-South really fueled us and gave us a lot of extra motivation and a chip on our shoulder to beat them in the semifinals.”

Toms River North has never won back-to-back OCT championships, and to do it they went through two schools that added four losses to their record. Coming into the season, everyone knew the talent they possessed with multiple D1athletes spread throughout their roster, but early on they underachieved.

As their stock went down, their rival South’s went up as they have now earned the No. 1 overall seeds in both the Ocean County Tournament and the Shore Conference Tournament. North has always seemed to have more talent than South, but South typically always gives them trouble due to the miracles head coach Ken Frank pulls year-in and year-out.

But North has now gotten back on track and went through the gauntlet and even a mini revenge tour to seal their second consecutive OCT Title. Now they have larger goals in mind.

(732) 531-0100 (732) 531-0100

The two opponents the Mariners faced in the semifinals and finals were both teams they had lost to twice earlier in the season. North faced their No. 1 rival in TR South in the semifinals, a team they lost to earlier in the year, 3-2, and even got embarrassed, 11-2.

After taking home the championship, North now is in the Shore Conference Tournament where they are the seventh overall seed. In the first round, they took down Middletown North, 3-2, and in the second round they beat Freehold Township, 5-2.

910South,Oakhurst, Route 35 South,Oakhurst, NJ NJ ​1910 Route ​135 The two losses still are in the back of the Mariners’ minds, but they know they won when it mattered most.

They are currently in the semifinals and will play Wall Wednesday looking for a potential Shore Conference Tournament Championship to add to this year’s accolades. And that championship game might result in another North vs. South showdown Part IV. South is in the other semifinal against Red Bank Catholic. The championship game will be Sunday June 4.

I am sure Nyistor and the Mariners wouldn’t want it any other way then to face off against the Indians with a championship on the line, along with a chance to even out the season series.

“It would have been great to sweep them, but they’re a great team with a great coach so we are just happy we got our win in a crucial game,” said Nyistor.

In that game, Craig Larsen dominated with a complete game only giving up two runs on four hits. In the two previous games, North had trouble making fundamental plays with three errors in vital situations. But in Larsen’s outing his defense backed him up and it led to finally getting over the hump and coming out with a victory.

Freehold Regional District Bowling Teams Conclude Successful Seasons

Christian Brothers Picks up 8th Overall Golf Tournament of Champions Title, first since 2013

By Lou Monaco

The Freehold Regional High School District was well represented this season on the bowling lanes.

It was worth the wait for the Christian Brothers Academy golf team.

Senior Chris Gotterup and sophomore Jack Wall each shot a 71 in leading Christian Brothers, No. 2 in the NJ.com Top 20, to a five-stroke victory over No. 1 Bergen Catholic to capture the NJSIAA/Metropolitan Golf Association Tournament of Champions at Hopewell Valley Golf Club in Hopewell on May 22.

The Shore Conference Central B Division came down to the last game of the season with Freehold Township edging out Howell to take the title. The Patriots were led by senior Clare Chaffer and freshman Sarah Orensky.

Seniors Madison Gibson and Amanda Dorner led the Rebels throughout the season and fought hard although they came up a little short. The teams took their competitive battles to the Central Jersey State tournament as group state champions with Freehold Township winning Group III and Howell winning group IV; Howell’s second win in a row.

5/30/17 - 6/12/17 • Jersey Sporting News

Sophomore Brendan Hansen carded a 72 and senior Manny Lazzaro rounded out the scoring with an 83 for Christian Brothers, which finished with a final score of 297 for its first T of C title since 2013 and ending Bergen Catholic’s three-year reign as overall state champions.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: JOSEPH INSERRA, BRIAN GAROFANO, JUSTIN KORMAN, ROBBIE WETZEL, GUS HORVATH. NOT PICTURED: JOHN RUSSO

Joining them in the state championships with a second-place finish in sectionals for Group II was

Colts Neck. This was their first trip to the state championships. The team was led by freshman Morgan Gitlitz and sophomore Erica Dugan. The Cougars are a young team that seems set for a long run in the next couple of years.

The boys division was just as tight with the Rebels needing to sweep Freehold Township in the last match to secure a shared division title with Jackson Liberty. Howell was well represented on the All-District team with Gus Horvath, Joseph Inserra, Brian Garofano, and two-time member Robbie Wetzel.

The boys All-District team also consisted of Colts Necks John Russo and district high average, Justin Korman.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: ERICA DUGAN, AMANDA DORNER, MADISON GIBSON, MORGAN GITLITZ, SARAH ORENSKY. NOT PICTURED: CLARE CHAFFER

The girls All-District team consisted of Chaffer and Orensky from Freehold Township, Amanda Dorner and Madison Gibson from Howell, and Gitlitz and Dugan from Colts Neck.

The 297 score was only the fourth score posted under 300 since 2000. Gotterup, Wall, and Hansen each finished within the top six finishers of the individual T of C competition.

Gotterup and Lazzaro ended their high school careers with their T of C title each.

“This T of C was one to remember for sure. I could not have been more happy with the way our team played and finished the season,” said Gotterup, who will be attending Rutgers in the fall. “Personally this tournament was a huge confidence booster for me.

I haven’t played great all year and for me to be able to go out in the pouring rain and shoot a very solid

one-under 71 was awesome. I was also very proud of Jack (Wall) and Brendan (Hansen) for them to be able to go out as sophomores and put up par or better scores is awesome. Manny didn’t play his best, but he saved a round that could have gone haywire.

He is one of the main reasons we won because he could have easily let his round slip away, yet he held it together and we came out on top.”

The Colts, which finished with a perfect regular-season record of 16-0, capture its eighth overall T of C crown, as well as picking up the Non-Public A title, where it also defeated Bergen Catholic.

“This title isn’t just great because it’s a state championship. We finally beat Bergen Catholic after three years of losses, we got to go out with a bang my senior year, and win one a championship for Coach (Tim) Sewnig,” said Gotterup. “This state championship is all I could ever ask for in high school golf. I could care less about all the individual tournaments I have won, this win was the best and most meaningful.”

The Non-Public A individual championship came down to a battle between teammates, Gotterup and Wall, and had to be decided by a three-hole playoff on holes 10, 16, and nine.

After tying after three holes, both birdied the ninth, parred the 10th, and then after Gotterup went up by a stroke after a birdie on the 16th, the mentor Wall eagled to win by one stroke and take home the individual title.

SAINT JOHN VIANNEY WINS EIGHTH STRAIGHT MONMOUTH COUNTY TOURNAMENT TITLE

By Mike Ready WALL – Freshman Julia Parker relieved senior pitcher Demi Moore with one out in the bottom of the eighth of a 1-1 game and Middletown North runners at first and second representing the potential game-winning runs in Tuesday’s Monmouth County Tournament final at Wall Township High School.

The significance of Baron’s assist came to light after the Lions strung together a couple of hits following it and had runners on first and third before Moore got the third out on strikes to end the threat.

“I try to help my team out any way I can,” Baron said about the play. “So of course coming up with the big throw is something that I’m proud of. I figured they were going to be aggressive on the bases but it wasn’t necessarily a perfect throw but it got there.”

Parker, who bats third as the designated player and is 7-0 in the circle this season behind Moore, retired both batters she faced to get out of the eighth. She then retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to preserve the win for Saint John Vianney after it had pushed the game-winning run across the plate in top half of the ninth inning.

“I knew when I came in that my team was behind me,” Parker said when asked if she felt pressure coming in that situation. “I just needed to pitch my game and relax. I felt that I needed to do my part. We needed two outs, but I knew I had my defense behind me; everyone told me to relax.”

Lancers catcher Ally Jones led off the top of the ninth drilling a single over the third base bag putting the go-ahead run on base with sophomore speedster Charley Baker coming in to run for her. A sacrifice bunt by Gianna Mavica moved Baker into scoring position at second and a walk to Alexis Agrapides put runners at first and second with one out and senior Magan Masi coming to the plate.

Masi hit a slow grounder to senior Liz Dorsa at second who flipped it to shortstop Alyssa Vetrano covering second for the force out. Vetrano then threw to first looking for an inning-ending double play but Masi beat the one-hop throw sliding head first across the bag with Baker scoring the go-ahead run all the way from second with some heads-up base running.

“At that point of the game you have to risk it, do or die,” Baker said of her gutsy dash home. “I guess it’s just instincts.”

SJV’S #12 JESS CAMPANA With the Lancers now up 2-1, Parker closed out the game inducing two ground ball outs to shortstop Jess Campana and striking out Adriana Cerbo to end the game.

“I’ve been using her (Parker) in the closing role so I knew what she was capable of doing,” Lancers head coach Kim Lombardi said. “That was a stressful situation, but she’s been a huge part of my lineup all year long. She had a lot of composure and didn’t act like a freshman; she was ready.”

The top-seeded Lancers (21-0) – ranked No.2 in the state – have now won an unparalleled eight straight Monmouth County Tournament championships including last year’s 4-1 win over Middletown North making it two in a row over the second-seeded Lions (17-3) in MCT finals.

Junior centerfielder Lindsey Baron – a Monmouth University commit – put the Lancers on top in the third inning hammering an RBI double off the top of the left-field fence driving in Masi, who led off the inning being hit by a pitch.

Middletown North banged out 10 hits and left 13 runners on base, including leaving the bases loaded in the first and six runners in scoring position overall. But to Moore’s credit, she battled throughout and got the big outs when she needed them.

“Lindsey Baron, man,” Rivera said of Baron’s big game. “She was clutch the entire game. She was awesome and I’m lucky to have her on my team.”

Moore (14-0) wiggled her way out of jams in the first, fourth and sixth innings without allowing a run before the Lions – ranked sixth in the state – finally broke through on her in the bottom of the seventh scoring an unearned run to tie the game, 1-1.

With one out and the Lancers clinging to a 1-0 lead, Campana booted a grounder to short for an error – a rarity for the usually flawless Lancer defense – putting the potential tying run on first.

Moore then worked the count to 3-and-2 on slugger Kayla Gallo before walking her on a pitch that could have gone either way. During that at bat, after running the count full, Gallo fouled off five consecutive pitches in a classic confrontation between the two senior stars.

Photos by Tom Smith With runners now on first and second, Middletown North pitcher Riley Kernan hit a hard grounder up the middle that second baseman Agrapides backhanded and flipped to Campana for the force at second with Liz Dorsa, who reached on the error, advancing to third.

Adriana Cerbo then brought Dorsa home on a soft liner into left field for a clutch two-out game-tying RBI single tying the game at one and forcing extra innings.

“We were frustrated,” Baron said after the Lions tied the game. “But we just motivated each other and were picking each other up. We really wanted it and pushed ourselves through.”

Kernan was the hard-luck loser going the distance allowing two runs, six hits, and two walks while striking out three.

“Everyone knows we win the Monmouth County Tournament every year,” Moore said of her team’s streak.

“So this was super important to us and super important to me and my seniors because senior year you don’t want to lose; this is the legacy we’ve had.”

“I didn’t assume, I just tried to run hard until I knew for sure,” Baron said of whether her double was a home run or not. “I sort of got tripped up at first but I didn’t know for sure.”

Baron, who cut down a runner at the plate from centerfield in last year’s MCT final against the Lions, was at it again Tuesday.

SJV’S #19 JULIA PARKER

With one out in the bottom of the sixth and the Lancers grasping onto a 1-0 lead, Gaby Cerbo lined a ball into the left centerfield gap that she tried to stretch it into a double. However, Baron – one of the best defensive centerfielders in the Shore Conference – cut it off, wheeled and uncorked a perfect throw to second to nail Cerbo.

Revenge – Rumson-Fair Haven Upsets Manasquan in Boys Lacrosse

By Dave Correll

Just two weeks ago in the Shore Conference Tournament final, Rumson-Fair Haven had to watch Manasquan celebrate a Shore Conference Tournament title as they held their heads in their hands.

They were going back and forth the entire game and ended up losing a heartbreaker, 8-7. On Saturday afternoon, one thing was on head coach Marc Moreau and Rumson-Fair Haven’s mind: revenge.

ripped it past Manasquan goalie Tom Pollock to tie the game with 3:25 left to play.

Less than a minute later, Deverin sprinted left and ripped another shot past Tom Pollock to gain the lead, 5-4, with 2:34 left to play. Manasquan looked defeated, it seemed as if it really was all but over, but this time it was for the Bulldogs.

For a period of time, RFH was the alpha in the Shore Conference and no one could trip them up from reeling off multiple Shore Conference championships along with runs in the state title. But Manasquan progressively got better over the years and finally dethroned the Bulldogs of their title.

Last May, in the same game, the Group 2 South final, Manasquan upended RFH and officially took the torch of what seemed to be a potential dynasty for the Warriors. To say the least, the last two losses to Manasquan added fuel to the fire and this game for the Group 2 championship was very personal for Rumson-Fair Haven. And the aggressive play which resulted in players laying on the ground and even hobbling at times showed the intense rivalry that has been created between these two powerhouses over the past couple of years.

Not only did Manasquan prove to be the gold-standard in the Shore Conference this year, they showed they can play with anyone in the state of New Jersey.

Bridgewater-Raritan, NJ’s mecca for lacrosse, was given all they could handle when they squared off against Manasquan despite prevailing. But all this ascending to the top of New Jersey’s lacrosse rankings came to a halt after Rumson-Fair Haven came

Manasquan continued to have trouble getting possession, and eventually they started to play aggressive on the defensive side of the ball where they finally stole it and James Pendergist was bolting up the sidelines with at least two steps on the next defenseman and he dropped the ball out of bounds.

All the air was taken out of Vic Kubu Warrior Field.

Photos by Dave Correll back and finally got revenge on the Warriors, who took the same title from them last year, and a Shore Conference title from them this year.

RFH trailed for most of the game, and it seemed as if the home crowd, which was packed, was really having a long-lasting effect on the team. But they roared back from a 3-1 deficit to tie it up 3-3 going into the fourth.

Manasquan felt the momentum shifting and ended a scoring drought with 7:27 left in the fourth period to take the lead, 4-3. Jarrett Birch, the state’s leading goal scorer, capitalized on a beautiful pass from John Moran and what seemed to be the goal that would lock up the Group 2 South championship

for the Warriors. Moran was decked on the play and Rumson-Fair Haven was given an unnecessary roughness penalty which meant Manasquan was back on the man-up.

It looked like the game was over and Rumson-Fair Haven was just going to hold the ball for the victory. But the Warriors managed to somehow steal the ball away from the Bulldogs for one last chance to tie up the game and head into OT.

But Rumson’s fans covering the bleachers in purple for their ‘Purple-out,’ stayed behind them and gave them confidence despite Manasquan acting as if it was all but over. They have been the team all year to dominate in the fourth to the point where a onegoal lead is comfortable. But, it wasn’t enough.

Birch had a clear path to the goal and decided to rip one with 15 seconds left and it hit the post. Game over. Rumson-Fair Haven sealed their championship the same way Manasquan sealed their Shore Conference title; a last-second shot bouncing off the post for the victory. Rumson-Fair Haven was Group 2 South Jersey Champions.

Bulldogs goalie Conor Deverin ended the possession with a vital stop and the momentum swung back to Rumson-Fair Haven. Charlie Curran took a pass from Alex Werner from behind the net and

Rumson-Fair Haven wasn’t ready to officially become little brother to Manasquan, and they made sure that didn’t happen with becoming champions on Manasquan’s home field.

Another Banner Year as Southern Boys Volleyball Wins Shore Conference Tournament

By Dave Correll

9th ANNUAL EAGLE OAKS HONOR DAY Draws Support for Veterans, Service Members and Military Families

FARMINGDALE – In conjunction with Fleet Week, the 9th Annual Eagle Oaks Honor Day was held at Eagle Oaks Country Club in Farmingdale on May 25. All proceeds from the event benefit Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for post-9/11 veterans, service members and military families.

The day-long event began with soldiers from the Central Jersey Recruiting Company, Mid-Atlantic Recruiting Battalion showcasing military vehicles and the Army’s STEM SEMI. The STEM SEMI is a non-kinetic, interactive Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) exhibit semi-truck, designed to showcase hi-tech capabilities and opportunities within the Army.

The Army has been supporting the event for the past three years and feels that it is

a great opportunity to celebrate Memorial Day by tying in respect for those who have served, those who are serving, and to introduce the opportunities of service to future generations.

Over 300 students from local middle and high schools attended the event and were given the opportunity to interact with Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and military equipment in the STEAM field. Service members were part of Airborne, Aviation, Band, Chemical, Civil Affairs, Cyber, EOD, Engineering, Logistics, Medical, and Military Intelligence units.

In addition, the 2017 Eagle Oaks Honor Day hosted more than 50 active-duty Marines from the II Marine Expeditionary Force for a day of leisure and golf on a championship golf course. The Marines received a hosted lunch, a golf tournament and dinner at the country club.

Southern’s boys volleyball (35-1) squad took home another championship in a 2-0 sweep of Christian Brothers Academy in the Shore Conference Tournament final. The victory gave them their second consecutive Shore Conference Tournament Championship with last year’s victory coming over Wall.

Southern did not lose a single set during the entire tournament, and proved they’re head and shoulders above everyone else by beating the No. 2 seed CBA in 2 sets, 25-17, and 25-18.

Shane Drayton wreaked the most havoc and squandered any potential upset bid that CBA had to offer. Drayton finished with six kills and four blocks.

Matt Maxwell was all over the floor and continued to be the backbone of the Southern defense as he finished with 15 digs which ultimately always seemed to lead to a kill. Any momentum CBA would build would immediately stop after miraculous diving saves by Maxwell.

Shane Bent led the team with seven kills, but Brennan Davis rose to the occasion as he finished with a very impressive stat line with two blocks and 22 assists.

Every volley looked like Déjà-vu: diving dig by Maxwell, perfect set by Davis, and a spike that seemed as if it was going to dent the hardwood by Bent and Drayton.

The victory to become champions of the Shore Conference was only a stepping stone, and it leads Southern into the South Jersey Tournament as the No. 1 seed. Dating back to 2011, Southern Regional has been the No. 1 seed in this tournament, and has dominated every year despite the pressure and has brought home the championship every year.

This should come as no surprise as Southern has been the overwhelming favorite to become state champions all season. This was the same team that held a 48-game winning streak dating back to last year although it was snapped by Hunterdon Central. Winning streaks of that magnitude weigh on the shoulders of those involved,

and maybe losing that game to Hunterdon Central was needed to relieve pressure and focus on the main goal: winning a state championship.

mean a team is imperfect and cannot lose.

Look at this year’s Connecticut women’s team and the 2015 Kentucky Wildcats; all winning streaks come to an end.

Southern boys volleyball is similar to UCONN’s women basketball in the fact that their dominance has been so consistent for so long that no matter the bias, they have to be acknowledged as the gold standard.

So, yes, a conference championship is nice and all; and that is the goal for most teams, but at Southern Regional it is simply what is expected. Teams that come through that school that don’t win championships are considered disappointments, and that’s the treatment you deserve when you have been on top for so long.

When playing such great teams, you need the confidence to head into a match-up thinking you are going to pull off the improbable upset, but in many cases teams walk in scared or expect to lose.

When playing volleyball at Toms River High School North, I remember receiving the schedule and looking for the two times we played Southern Regional and the rest of the team would collectively agree to put “L’s” next to those games.

Going into the game you would never even consider winning, you would just hope you wouldn’t get a Mike Gesicki spike right to your face. Yes, the current starting Penn State tight end would line-up across from you during the games. Quite the intimidation factor to say the least.

Very few teams have been able to knock them off, but when they do they come into games with the right mindset. Southern wins games before they even start without even trying. But, when every warm-up spike is inside the ten-foot line and every serve is a blur, it is tough to keep your composure.

But, even with all the winning streaks and conference championships, that doesn’t

But, after dominating performance after dominating performance in the Shore Conference Tournament and ever since they suffered their only loss to Hunterdon Central, do not expect this team to slow down.

Two games into the South Jersey Tournament they have steam-rolled past both opponents. As the No. 1 seed they faced off against No. 16 seed Collingswood and swept them, 25-12, and 25-8. Next matchup was the No. 8 seed Cinnaminson in which they swept them, 25-8, and 25-17.

Their next opponent is No. 5 seed Eastern in the semifinals on Wednesday. Eastern struggled in the first two rounds, but managed to survive against Donovan Catholic and Williamstown. The South Jersey Championship will be Friday with the winners of Southern/Eastern facing off against the winners of Kingsbury/Pennsauken.

Expect Southern to add more hardware to their trophy case; they have been on a mission all season with one goal in mind, and the added chip on their shoulder is just scary.

Marlboro Softball: A Successful Season With a Divisional Title to Boot

By Lou Monaco

Despite a 10-inning loss in the state sectional quarterfinals, the Marlboro softball team accomplished something this season they have never done before.

Marlboro (16-5) dropped a 9-6, 10-inning decision as the second seed to seventh-seeded Hunterdon Central in the quarterfinals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 4 tournament in Marlboro on May 23.

But the Mustangs (which as of press time was a four-seed hosting 13th-seeded Brick Memorial in the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament on May 27) can smile on a season in which they started the year on a 10-game win streak and captured the Shore Conference A-North division regular-season title for the first time in school history.

Senior and Stevenson College-bound Alexandra DiGrande went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI to power Marlboro to a 13-1 victory over Neptune in Neptune on May 12 for Marlboro’s first-ever divisional crown.

Senior and Fairleigh Dickinson (Florham Park)-bound Kaleigh Oplinger continued her dominant season, earning her 13th victory, tossing a three-hitter with one walk and 10 strikeouts and also contributed offensively with two hits, including a double, with two RBI and three runs scored. Senior and MIT-bound Phoebe Li posted two hits with two RBI and three runs scored in the win.

“It was a great feeling for me, the team, and coaches, as well as the school having won our first divisional title. It was one of our many goals we set for this year,” said Marlboro head coach Nick Scalzo, who just completed his ninth season at the helm. “The season as a whole has been a memorable one.

We accomplished things this year that we never have before and we have played exceptionally well all year. Of all the things we accomplished, my proudest is the team-first attitude we have. This is why I believe we are successful and will continue to be in the future. It has been a long road to get here, but this group of young girls has finally put us on the map when it comes to softball and the reason is hard work and unselfishness. Their will to win for each other and their school is second to none and we always talk about how that is what it's all about. Being a part of a team that has one common goal and it doesn't matter how we got there as long as it was together. They have set a bar for us and the young kids are right on board and I expect us to continue our success in the future.”

Other seniors that are continuing their playing careers in college are Macie Ditillo (Quinnipiac) and Lindsey Fhima (The College of New Jersey).

“As far as next season and things to work on, we always need to work on fundamentals. It’s a game of repetition, so keep practicing and being consistent. We also need to hit with runners in scoring position and always be productive,” said Scalzo. “We left way too many runners on against Hunterdon Central in the state quarterfinals. Our motto each day is ‘do something to make yourself better and your team better each day.’ If we can do that, everything else will fall into place.”

Young Gymnast Overcomes MANASQUAN BEATS RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN IN EPIC SHORE TOURNAMENT BOYS LACROSSE FINAL Obstacles to Win State Title CONFERENCE

By Mike Ready OCEAN TOWNSHIP – Nicollette Crochet, 10 years old of Monmouth Beach, won first place on the Uneven Bars at this year’s USA Gymnastics State Championships, held on April 22 in Marlboro.

Nicollette trains under Coach Candy Krotchko at ACE Gymnastics in Ocean. Krotchko has also coached Crochet to multiple state championship titles on Bars, Beam, Floor, Vault, and the All-Around in both 2014 and 2015. In 2016, Crochet endured growth plate-related injuries to both elbows causing her to miss the competition season that year and more than six months of training.

“The whole gym was saddened by Nicollette’s injury and her absence in competition that year. For Nicollette to comeback from that injury and win the Uneven Bars at State Championships is a tribute to her determination, perseverance, talent, and passion for gymnastics,” said Krotchko.

Nicollette won the New Jersey State Uneven Bars title with a score of 9.7 and also placed fourth in the All-Around with an impressive 38.05. She competed at Level 7 this year along with her teammates Megan Donlevie of Monmouth Beach, Riley Gannon of Interlaken, and Quynn DeGraw of Neptune.

“We are so proud of Nicollette’s accomplishments and hard work,” said Jeanne Rosko, owner of ACE Gymnastics. “She has been with us since she started gymnastics on preteam at 6 years old. We are excited to see what the future holds for her.”

LONG BRANCH – Manasquan senior attackman Joe Tonkovic’s first career game-deciding goal couldn’t have come at a better time.

three unanswered goals to take a 4-3 lead at the half.

The Bulldogs stormed back with three goals in the third quarter to take a 6-5 lead heading into the fourth quarter but the game was far from over.

Tomkovic’s goal with 44.2 seconds left in the game broke a 7-7 tie and the topseeded Warriors held off No. 2 seed Rumson-Fair Haven, 8-7, to capture the program’s first-ever Shore Conference Tournament championship.

It was a back-and-forth affair from start-to-finish with the outcome not determined until the closing seconds of the game.

Rumson tied the game at 7-7 after senior attackman Charlie Curran spun around his defender in front of the goal to score with 54 seconds left.

The Bulldogs then won the ensuing faceoff, but Manasquan senior FOGO Matt Thermann stayed in pursuit and jarred the ball loose with a stick check. Sophomore midfielder James Pendergrass picked up the ground ball and bolted into the Bulldog zone.

From there, Pendergrass found senior attackman Jarrett Birch, who found his

younger brother Canyon, who in turn spotted Tonkovic out in front of the goal and Tonkovic converted for the gamewinner.

Tonkovic received Birch’s pass at a tough angle to shoot from and had to attempt a difficult overhead, backhand shot in order to get the ball over Rumson goalie Connor Deverin’s stick.

It was sweet revenge for the Warriors, who got a bit of redemption after losing last year’s SCT final, 8-5, to the Bulldogs. As expected, the two teams will meet again in the upcoming NJSIAA South Jersey, Group II championship game and it should be a doozy.

For the Warriors, Carroll finished with a team-high three goals while Jarrett Birch and Tonkovich each scored twice and senior midfielder Pat Felstedt scored once.

Canyon Birch led the team with three assists and senior goalie Tom Pollock made six saves.

Curran completed the hat trick for the Bulldogs while senior attackman Colin Pavluk had two goals and an assist. Senior midfielder Bryan Hess and senior Alex Werner each scored once and Deverin made nine saves.

Coming into this year’s final, the Bulldogs had won five of the last six SCT championship games and had been to every final since 2009. Manasquan’s last appearance in the final was in 2005 when it lost to CBA in the SCT inaugural championship game.

The Warriors are ranked fifth in the state in the latest NJ.com Top 20 poll while the Bulldogs are ranked 14th.

WALL STUMBLES IN STATES, ADVANCES TO SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALS

By Mike Ready

WALL – The Crimson Knights entered Tuesday’s NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 3 opening-round game on a six-game roll and battle tested after a season of competing and finishing second – one game behind Monmouth Regional – in the rugged Class B North, arguably the toughest division in the Shore Conference.

With Tuesday’s game originally scheduled for Monday but pushed ahead to Tuesday due to torrential rains, Wall was now looking at back-to-back tournament games with its SCT quarterfinal game scheduled for Wednesday.

On Tuesday against Neptune it appeared third-seeded Wall may have been looking ahead to its SCT game with Christian Brothers Academy on Wednesday. The Crimson Knights, for whatever the reason might’ve been,

took it on the chin Tuesday getting upset, 4-2, by a Neptune team that lost 12 games this season and were seeded 14th in the bracket.

Now, with barely enough time to regroup and refocus, Wall – ranked second in both the SSN and APP latest Shore Conference rankings – were faced with the task of playing No. 11 seed and sixth-ranked CBA. The Colts (17-8, 9-5) were coming off three days’ rest and are very familiar faces in the later rounds of the SCT. Nonetheless, on Wednesday, the Crimson Knights displayed the resiliency it has exhibited all year long. They got up, dusted themselves off and played eight solid innings of Wall baseball to beat the Colts, 1-0, earning a trip to the SCT semifinals.

Heading into extra innings Dombroski looked stronger than ever retiring the side in order in the top of the eighth and leaving it up to his offense to manufacture the game’s only run.

Sophomore John Volpe lined a leadoff single down the left-field line off Bauer and senior Shane Richey legged out an infield single. Senior John Perrino was then hit by a pitch to load the bases before Shimko took an 0-1 pitch off his shoulder to force Volpe home with the winning run.

Wall will now face No. 7 seed Toms River North (18-7) – a 5-2 winner over No. 18 seed Freehold Township – in Wednesday’s semifinals at Count Basie Field in Red Bank.

Blossoming sophomore Trey Dombroski, who wasn’t even guaranteed a varsity roster spot this season, went the distance to pick up his sixth win of the season without a defeat. The cool-headed lefty struck out four, walked one and allowed five hits without surrendering a run to lower his season ERA to a remarkable 0.50 with a just as impressive five complete games to his credit.

Dombroski and CBA starting pitcher Blaise Vanancio – who retired a string of 12 straight batters at one point – were locked in a pitchers’ duel through six innings before the Knights threatened in the bottom of the seventh. Vanancio walked leadoff batter Joe Shimko and Kevin Lenneper moved Shimko over to second with a sacrifice bunt before Shimko took third on a passed ball.

That was it for Vanancio as Spencer Bauer came in relief and shut the door on the Knights, striking out the next two batters and leaving Shimko stranded on third.

THE 100 HIT CLUB

The Admirals of Henry Hudson had more than one thing to celebrate this season. They won the B Central championship; they were the No. 1 seed in Central Jersey Group 1, and they had two players reach coveted high school milestones. Senior Olivia Iannace (Marywood University, PA), reached her 100th base hit and 100th run of her stellar career.

What is the inflation rate?

Michel M. – Eatontown, NJ

Answer: The college inflation rate refers to the annual increase in college tuition and fees, similar to the way the general inflation rate refers to the annual increase in the cost of living.

The college inflation rate is typically in the range of 3% to 6% for both private and public colleges.

For parents trying to keep up with their child's college fund, it's important to choose investments for college savings that keep pace with college inflation. You can use the college inflation rate for a given year or the average rate of inflation over the past decade to help project college costs in the future. Be aware, however, that the more years your child has to go until college, the greater likelihood that your cost estimate will need to be revised at a later date. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Whether a college education is a distant dream you hold for a newborn child or a financial imperative staring you in the face, it is important to take swift steps to begin meeting this challenge. Next to retirement planning, paying for your children’s education could be the largest expense that your family will bear.

Emiliana's Hope Presents 2nd Annual Charity Golf Outing and Silent Auction Luncheon Emiliana's HOPE Foundation is proud to present its 2nd Annual Swing FORE A CURE Golf Outing on September 14.

and she never lost HOPE, even in her last moments. On December 1, 2015, Emiliana earned her wings after a six-month battle.

We will begin with an 8:30am shotgun start at Cedar Creek Golf Course in Bayville, featuring Dixon Golf challenges to earn prizes and bragging rights. Afterward, we head to The Cove Restaurant Bar and Grill for some great food, cold drinks, and a silent auction featuring an assortment of great gifts – Connecticut and Atlantic City overnight stays, high-end liquor and sports memorabilia to name just a few. There will be something for everyone.

Emiliana’s biggest pet peeve was that there was minimal funding and awareness for pediatric cancer. We HOPE to change that.

The mission of Emiliana's Hope Foundation is to improve the lives of pediatric cancer patients with HOPE, and provide comfort to their families, while creating awareness for pediatric cancer. We feel that our organization provides both educational and recreational resources to the much underserved population of pediatric cancer patients. In addition, we also focus on providing funds for healthcare research in that same field.

Emiliana’s Hope Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2016 in memory of Emiliana O’Brien, to honor her life and continue her visions and generosity toward others. Emiliana was an athletic 12-year-old diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, in June 2015 at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She courageously fought her battle against cancer

Don't miss out on this local event that focuses on local families who are battling pediatric cancer. We HOPE we can count on your support. For more information on how to golf in the event, become a sponsor or make a direct donation, please call 732-895-5480.

SHEEHY’S LATE TWO-RUN HOME RUN DECIDES RED BANK CATHOLIC’S WIN OVER LACEY

By Mike Ready

“That definitely gave us a little momentum,” Sheehy said of Supp’s play. “Anytime someone makes an error, you have something good going for you.”

Supp’s heads-up base running kept the inning alive for Sheehy and he made the Lions pay dearly, lofting an 0-2 breaking ball high into the sky that eventually landed on the other side of the left-field fence. It was one of the few mistakes that Lacey starting pitcher Tom Corragio (3-3) made all day and Sheehy took advantage.

“Honestly I think I messed up, the first pitch was right down the middle but I didn’t swing,” Sheehy said of his game-winning at bat. “I thought I was in a little bit of a hole, so I was just looking for a mistake. He (Corragio) just left one over the plate and hung a curve ball.

RBC’S #11 AARON AHN Photos by Tom Smith RED BANK – Entering Wednesday’s Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal game versus Lacey, the Caseys were a perfect 10-0 outside the Class B North. Thanks to senior catcher Brian Sheehy, they’re now 11-0.

Sheehy, who fought off a dizzy spell in the top of the sixth inning that almost forced him out of the game, slugged a towering two-out, two-run home run over the left-field fence erasing a 1-0 Lacey lead in the bottom of the sixth.

“He almost came out of the game,” Caseys (18-7) head coach Buddy Hausmann said of Sheehy. “He wasn’t feeling well. To swing like that on an 0-2 pitch, I guess you don’t have to feel well.”

Sheehy’s dramatic home run was the difference maker as the fourthseeded Caseys held on for a 2-1 win over No. 5 seed Lacey (20-5) to advance to Wednesday’s SCT semifinal against top-seeded Toms River South – a 1-0 winner over Pinelands.

If it weren’t for Montclair State-bound Aidan Supp reaching first base batting in front of Sheehy with two outs, Sheehy’s heroics might’ve never happened. Supp hustled down the first-base line on a ground ball to shortstop Keith Apostolos that the junior double-clutched and bobbled just long enough for Supp to beat the throw to first by the blink of an eye.

“I thought I just popped it up. I didn’t think it was going out. I just had my head down and when I looked up that’s when I thought it was going out.”

Sophomore Vincent Bianchi came in relief of starter Austin Nappi in the top of the seventh and set the side down in order on nine pitches including striking out the first two batters he faced to preserve the win for Nappi, who picked up his ninth win of the season against only one loss.

Nappi was limited to 78 pitches Wednesday by NJSIAA rules and that might’ve hurt him in the top of the sixth when Lacy pushed across its only run of the game.

With Nappi’s pitch count approaching his limit after hitting leadoff batter Miles Feaster, who was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Justin Thompson and then to third on a ground out to shortstop by Brandon Haggerty, Nappi was facing hot-hitting right fielder Anthony Elefante – who entered the game 9-for-his-last-14 plate appearances.

Elefante wasted no time jumping on Nappi’s first pitch, lining it back through the box into centerfield scoring Feaster with the go-ahead run.

“I made sure he knew he had a base open and not to give him anything close to the middle of the plate,” Hausmann said. “But Nappi is always around the plate and he knew he was running out of pitches. We tried to tell him it’s okay if he leaves a guy on base – we have good pitchers to back him up. I’m sure he thought he could go after him and that’s what he does – he just got beat.”

RBC’S #38 AIDAN SUPP “With the pitchers we have, we have to play defense for 21 outs,” Hausmann said. “You can’t give outs away in games like this, when you’re playing teams that pitch and catch the ball like Lacey did today. I’m not asking guys to make diving plays or to end up on the highlight reel. I just want them to make 21 routine plays. If our pitchers are throwing strikes and we can swing the bat a little bit, that’s usually going to be enough.”

Red Bank Catholic will be making its fourth straight trip to the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals in search of its first final appearance since 2015 and are attempting to win its second title in program history since it won its initial title in 2011.

“In the beginning of the season, we were ranked high and everything,” Sheehy said. “We lost a couple of games and everyone doubted us and now we’re really hitting our stride when it counts. It’s a good time to start winning games.”

Both pitchers benefited from some spectacular play by their defenses.

In the bottom of the third with one out, Lacey centerfielder Anthony Tobia laid out to make a stunning diving catch on a line drive into the rightcenterfield gap off the bat Aaron Ahn and Elefante then made a leaping catch of Anthony DeRosa’s rising line drive to right field that seemed to take off on Elefante to end the inning.

Then in the fourth, Apostolos made a diving back-handed stop on a hard-hit ball up the middle, got up and threw out JonMichael Rotondo at first to end the inning.

LACEY’S #7 KEITH APOSTOLOS

The Caseys defense bailed Nappi out in the fourth with runners on the corners turning a one-out, 5-4-3 double play to get out of the inning unscathed.
