Receiving a diagnosis of cancer can be devastating. Then, to learn that the surgery required to remove the cancer will result in life-altering physical disfigurement can be terrifying. Dr. John Taylor, founder of Allure Plastic Surgery Center in Red Bank, knows these patients need to be as functionally and aesthetically whole as possible. He performs procedures that range from small face reconstructions following the removal of skin cancers to the most advanced microsurgical reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy, the DIEP flap procedure. “My colleague and I were the first surgical team to perform this procedure in the state and we have the most experience in the region,” explains Dr. Taylor.
Taylor is one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons in the area. Dr. Taylor provides his patients with personalized care, enhancing and improving their natural strengths. “Every patient gets individualized care and attention,” he explains. “They tell us that they feel important here, and that’s because they are.”
Dr. Taylor also performs a wide array of surgical and non-surgical procedures, such as tummy tucks, liposuction, thigh lifts, facelifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty and earlobe repair.

Contentious battles were fought all over the Shore Conference on the night of Friday, October 23rd. Undefeated Ocean County powerhouse Point Pleasant Boro faced off against the Raritan Rockets of Hazlet at home. The contest resulted in a perhaps too close for comfort 33-27 win against the Rockets to retain their undefeated title. Highlights included Point Quarterback Noah Husack throwing to Hayden Frey for a 23 yard touchdown. Husk ran one in himself for 16 yards. Star Raritan running back Derek Ernst was held to just one 8 yard rushing touchdown, which may have complicated Raritan’s game plan going in.

Wall Starts with a Bang in Shore Tournament By Michael Ward
In the second day of matchups in the Shore Conference Field Hockey Tournament, Wall showed that they had big plans to make it far when facing off against Saint John Vianney. The scoring by wall started early, and continued often, as Wall eventually racked up an impressive 9-0 win against the SJV Lancers.
Senior Samantha Scire was a powerhouse in Lancer territory, scoring 4 goals over the course of the game. That adds to her tally of 33 for the season with 106 total goals scores over her career. Fellow Senior Nicolette Keale was next best, with 2 goals of her own. Fellow teammates Maura McGowan, Emily Surgent and Hanna Zarrilli all provided offensive support with 1 goal each. The key to Wall’s success was an aggressive offensive strategy which left the ball on SJV’s side of the field throughout most of the game. SJV did respond with attempts of their own, but all 19 attempts to make it into the net were thwarted by goalie Bailey Forman. The 19 save game adds to Foreman’s total save count for the year of 87. The win against SJV moved Wall onto quarterfinals in the Shore Conference Tournament, where they faced off against Freehold Borough and narrowly won with a 2-1 final score. At Semi-Finals, Wall fell to number 1 seeded Rumson-Fair Haven in a respectable showing, losing 3-0. Wall remained undefeated throughout the regular season and beginning stages of tournament, going a stunning 17-0 before their loss to Rumson.

Freehold Township Earns Spot In Tournament Semis By Michael Ward
The glare of the evening sun was shining in Freehold Township on Tuesday. Shining would also be the best adjective to use for the girls of the Freehold Township field hockey team after they completed their shutout of Middletown North to earn themselves a spot in the Shore Conference Tournament Quarter Finals. The final score of 3-0 doesn’t accurately reflect how close the game was, as no points were scored until well into second half. The
game started evenly matched in the first half as both sides couldn’t best each other. Freehold maintained superior ball control, but couldn’t sneak one in against 10th seeded Middletown North during the first half of play. In the second half, Freehold Township regrouped and was able to form a successful game plan with 3 goals, ultimately sealing Middletown’s fate. Junior Samantha Perskin was at the helm of Freehold’s offensive with 2 of the 3 goals, bringing her season total up to 7. Sophomore Jessica Applegate scored the remaining goal, bringing her tally up to 6 on the season. Freehold went onto quarter finals later in the week against #2 seeded Southern RegionEMAIL al. The #7 seeded Freehold outfit was not jsnattardi@msn.com expected to see semi-finals action, but they shocked the conference with a narrow 1-0 PHONE win. Semis won’t see the competition get any 732-610-1151 easier as they’ll face off against #3 ranked Shore Regional.

SHORE REGIONAL ROLLS INTO SHORE CONFERENCE FIELD HOCKEY TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALS By Mike Ready
“Our defense did a nice job from the defensive 25 to the 50 slowing the play down,” Koenig said. “This allowed us to change the angle of attack so we could move on counter attack. Reese Collin stepped in as sweeper and did a great job slowing down the play; and hats off to our right back Kaitlyn Hunter who was playing with a broken thumb and she really was our distribution option when we were changing the angle and she played really well today.
WEST LONG BRANCH – Jackson Liberty’s first trip to the Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinals in program history wasn’t a pleasant one as third-seeded Shore Regional schooled the #11 seeded Lions in the mastery of soccer with a 8-0 win Thursday at Nancy Williams Field. Ranked #4 in the Shore Conference and 12th in the state, the Blue Devils (16-3, 10-0) did not allow Jackson Liberty (12-5-1, 10-2) a shot on goal the entire game while Shore Regional bombarded Lions goalie Katie Koehler with 29 shots.
Junior forward Lauren Maul added her fourth and fifth goals of the season while Vikki LaMorte contributed with her fourth assist on the year in addition to her 16 goals.
The stingy Shore defense barely allowed Jackson Liberty a chance to cross their own 25 as Anne Deusch and company completed shutdown the Lions offensive attack. Deusch – a first-team All-Shore defender and Monmouth University commit – is as unique as she is talented as she patrols both ends of the field. “Anne is a four-year varsity starter and plays field hockey year-round,” Shore Regional second-year head coach Kelly Koenig said of her star defender. “She’s come to really understand the game and she’s unique because she’s a two-way defender. She’s able to sustain defense in our twenty five but she’s able to make reads and counter attack. Anne did a nice job today seeing and taking that open lane distributing the ball than following up on the second shot.” Deusch – one of three Shore captains - scored the final two goals of the first half to push the Blue Devils lead to 6-0. Junior Kaitlyn Hunter assisted on Deusch’s second goal for her third assist of the season. On the year, Deusch has exploded for 34 goals with six assists.
Shore will face #7 seed Freehold Township (10-4-1, 6-2-1) in one of Saturday’s semifinal games after the Patriots upset second-seeded Southern in Thursday’s quarterfinals.
Senior midfielder Jessica Welch, had three first-half goals and closed out the scoring with a little over five minutes left in game off an assist from freshman Maggie Lamb – her third assist of the game and 21st of the season to go along with her 11 goals. The Stanford University – bound Welch and first-team All-Shore selection scored four goals giving her a team-leading 40 goals on the year in addition to her 11 assists. Her 40 goals ranks her fourth in the state in goals scored.
Shore captured the Class B Central title this season going undefeated (10-0) for their astonishing 45th divisional title in a row. But, the team would like nothing more than to reclaim the Shore Conference Tournament title after holding the title for 15 consecutive years before giving it up to Rumson-Fair Haven a year ago. “It’s something they’ve been working towards all season,” Koenig said. “We just have to take it one game at a time, and respect every competitor that we play.”
Over the years, Welch and Deusch have developed an uncanny ability to know where each other are on the field at all times. “Jessica and Anne balance each other and the two of them are really able to work off each other,” Koenig said. “This provides each other options throughout the game. Jess did a great job today, not only finishing on the play, but providing passing options to the team. Jess is a really good captain and keeps the team disciplined in our structure. Both of them have a deep understanding of the game and are able to move our team from offense to defense with their play and communication.” The third captain on the team and another first-team All-Shore selection is goalie Sarah Dwyer, who picked up her 14th shutout of the season in Thursday’s win. The indispensable Dwyer and defensive cog will take her talents to Boston College next season continuing her career and education.

Central Regional Field Hockey By Chris Orlando
One of the traits of any successful team is the ability to bounce back from tough losses. The Central Regional field hockey team was able to demonstrate that virtue this past Friday when it rebounded from being ousted from the Shore Conference Tournament on Thursday with a 1-0 victory over St. Rose.
BLUE DEVIL DOMINANCE CONTINUES By Michael Rogers
The Golden Eagles were seeded eighth for the SCT, but ran into a buzz saw in the form of topseeded and second-ranked Rumson-Fair Haven on Thursday and suffered an 11-0 loss. Less than 24 hours, however, Central was able to shake off the defeat and earn a hard-fought one-goal victory over the visiting Purple Roses. Madison Demand scored the game’s only goal in the second half off a feed from Jaime Corrigan. Brielle Calleo halted the only shot she faced to earn Central’s ninth shutout of the season.
Jersey Sporting News • September 4 - September 25
On Monday, Nov. 2, Central will play host to the winner of the first round game between fifthseeded Pennsauken and twelfth-seeded Cherry Hill West. If they win that contest, Central would most likely go on the road and take on topseeded Moorestown in the sectional semifinal round on Nov. 4. The sectional finals will be played on Nov. 6 at the home of the highest remaining seed. A year ago, Central finished 15-3-1 and reached the sectional semis, where it bowed to Ocean City. Ocean City went on to reach the overall Group 3 finals, bowing to Warren Hills in overtime, 5-4. This year’s Central team has been steered offensively by Demand, a junior midfielder, who has totaled 17 goals and 11 assists this fall.
Central, which is now 13-4-2, had advanced to the SCT quarterfinals by edging ninth-seeded Ocean Township, 2-1, on Oct. 19 in Bayville. Demand had a goal and assisted on Jessica Miller’s goal while Lilian Walker had an assist on both goals to pace the Golden Eagles. Calleo finished with 11 saves to anchor the defense. Central, under the direction of head coach Madeline Dutton, will be regrouping and getting ready to make a run in the state tournament. The Golden Eagles earned the fourth seed for the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 3 tournament and received a first round bye into the sectional quarterfinals.
Other catalysts for the Golden eagles include: senior midfielder Corrigan (eight goals, eight Garrett Kroeger assists), sophomore forward Walker (eight TR North goals, four assists), senior forward Alina JackSr. 6’0- 265 lbs. son (four goals, Kroeger two assists), Mastartsjunior at DEforward and G for ria Degraw (fourthegoals) andHe senior Julia Mariners. went back to junior O’Connor (threeday goals, three assists). at Stonehill College and could end up with some college Calleo, a senioroffers. goalie, has made 67 saves in 19 games this year, good for a 3.5 saves per game average.

SHORE‘S #11 ANNIE DEUSCH The Shore Regional field hockey team has a long successful history; and this year’s team’s success has added to this winning history. The Blue Devils have a 17 win and 3 loss record so far this season and are undefeated in their B 'north division (10 wins and 0 losses) ahead of Jackson Liberty by two whole games to win the division again. The most amazing part of this year’s team is their dominance of their defense and potency of their offense, as they have outscored their opponents 141 goals to just 8 goals allowed. 15 of their 16 wins have been by a shutout.

With the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament getting under way this week, Rumson Fair Haven head coach Mary Beth Coleman is pleased with how her team has grown and matured going into the post season. The Bulldogs have a 17 win and only 3 losses record and earned the #6 seed in the Shore Conference Tournament. In the first round, the Bulldogs played the 11th seed in the tournament in Toms River East who has a record of 12 wins and 4 losses and 1 tie. Toms River East took the lead in the first period at the 11:24 mark as Kaitlin Lester got the assist on the first goal of the game as she centered the ball with a header to Brielle Zagacki who easily knocked it into the net giving Toms River East the 1-0 lead. Rumson Fair Haven tied the score also off of a header toward the end of the first half to tie the score at 1 to 1. Caroline Kostecky also set up a goal off of a header to teammate Allie Geiger, who tied the score at one at the end of the first half. Neither team could get is goal past the super goaltending in the second half, but at 62:12, RFH took the lead for good and won the game off a pass from Jaqualine Littleson; who found Grace Forsyth who scored the winning goal giving RFH the 2 to 1 win.

The Pinelands field hockey team finished with a record of 8 wins 9 losses and 1 tie last season, and aside from improvement in the win/loss record (Pinelands has improved to a record of 13 wins and 4 losses this season) head coach Liz Law also sees improvement in her teams preparation, skills, stick work, and attitude this season. As the coach said of this year’s team: "There has been improvement in so many areas and of just about everyone on this team, and it has been a joy coaching this group of young ladies." This week, Pinelands began the Shore Conference Tournament as a #10 seed and defeated Manasquan in a play in game by the score of 4 to 1. Pinelands jumped out to a 3 to 1 halftime lead and held on for the victory. Susie Cardilo led the team with 3 goals, while Noel Hartman added the other goal. Brianna Surlik had 2 assists while Sumer Keady and Rachel Papernik each added an assist in the game. Monica Mahon made 4
saves in goal while Julia Kline made 2 saves. Pinelands outshot Manasquan 21 to 4 in the game. Coach Law sees a big difference in the whole program at Pinelands and she attributes a lot of that change in attitude to her 3 captains, who have all done a great job on and off the field as role models. "Noel Hartman, Sumer Keaty, and Alexis Hawkins have all improved greatly in their personal games but have also made a huge impact on and off the field.” Other girls Coach Law sees great improvement in are Suzi Cardillo, whose skills have improved off the charts; Madison Dancisin, who has worked hard at being the most improved player on the team, and Brianna Saralik who has improved her stick skills and speed tremendously. With efforts like these players who have all grown throughout the years the Pinelands program looks to continue improving and getting better!

Rumson Fair-Haven Field Hockey
And just how far has Rumson come in the last four seasons? The Lady Bulldogs now own an 80-6-3 record since 2012, which gives them the fourth best winning percentage in the state behind Eastern (96-0-1), Oak Knoll (88-5) and West Essex (81-6-1). Rumson was scheduled to take on fourth-seeded Wall (17-0) in a battle of unbeatens in a SCT semifinal round game on Saturday. Third-seeded Shore and seventh-seeded Freehold Township were scheduled to meet in the other semifinal. The winners advance to the SCT final at Holmdel High on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
By Chris Orlando
Slowly but surely, Rumson-Fair Haven has built itself into one of the state’s preeminent field hockey teams. And head coach Julie Brewington knows that getting to the top of the mountain is one thing; staying there is another.
If Rumson and Shore were to meet, the Lady Bulldogs would seek its fifth straight game against the Lady Blue Devils. And Brewington points to a 2012 game against Shore, albeit a loss, as the turning point for her team.
“Once you prove you can do it it’s a great accomplishment,” said Brewington, now in her seventh season at the helm of the Lady Bulldogs. “But then you want to prove that you belong there and be able to defend what you won.” And this year, there is a lot for Rumson-Fair Haven to defend. A year ago, Rumson captured its first Shore Conference Tournament championship and followed that up with its first ever NJSIAA state title when it captured the overall Group 2 crown. The Lady Bulldogs finished a school-best 24-1-2 last season, losing only to top-ranked Eastern in the Tournament of Champions semifinal round. It finished 2-0-1 against its arch nemesis, Shore, including a 6-0 victory in the first round of the T of C. This season, Rumson started the season with a tense, hardfought 3-2 victory over Shore at home on Sept. 5 when sophomore Makenna Maguire scored the game-winning goal on an assist from her older sister, Madison, on a penalty corner after time had expired. Rumson, ranked second in the state in one poll, and No. 13 nationally in the MAXFieldHockey.com poll, has won its first 17

RFH’S #6 KATE MaGILLIS games and outscored its opponents by the amazing margin of 147-4. It has won by shutout in each of its last 11 games, and has not allowed a goal since an 11-1 victory over Monmouth on Sept. 24. The Lady Bulldogs, the top seed for this year’s SCT, defeated eighth seeded Central Regional, 11-0, in the quarterfinal round on Thursday. Lily Croddick led the way with a fourgoal effort. Emma D’Amelio added three goals and Makenna Maguire and Madison Maguire each struck for two goals. And that has been one of the strengths of this season’s team – an ability to get quality offense from any number of sources as no less than seven players have registered 14 goals or more. Sophomore Croddick (39 goals, nine assists) and senior Madison Maguire (35, 12) have led the way this fall with freshman Bridy Molyneaux (18, nine) and sophomores D’Amelio (17, six), Makenna Maguire (16, 11), and Megan MacGillis (14, six), adding to an outstanding youth movement for the Monmouth County school.
“We lost to them (2-1) in the Shore Conference tournament final that year, but it really showed that we could play with them,” said Brewington. “We have so much for that program and what they’ve accomplished that it meant a lot for us to finally break through and beat them last year. And to beat them in the SCT final was monumental for us. They had won for 15 straight years. That was a big deal.” And Rumson will look to make another statement when the state tournament begins later this month. The Lady Bulldogs, which defeated Madison, 3-2, in the Group 2 final last year, was tabbed the second seed behind Wall in the Central Jersey, Group 2 bracket and will begin defense of its title on Oct. 31 against the winner of the game between seventhseeded Point Boro and 10th-seeded Ewing. “It’s been a great and humbling experience for us to be ranked so high in the state and the nation,” said Brewington. “It does put added pressure on us and raises the bar but it’s up to us to stay hungry and respond to these challenges.”
“The girls have worked so hard and work really well with and for each other,” said Brewington. “They are awesome at team communication and being able to have so many players able to score has served them very well.”

DEFENSE HELPS NO.1 MIDDLETOWN SOUTH CLEAR HURDLE IN KEY WIN OVER BRICK MEMORIAL By Mike Ready
BRICK TOWNSHIP – The triple-option offense out of the flexbone alignment is rarely seen any more with the spread offenses dominating the high school scene these days.
Three plays later, Middletown South defensive end Jake Krellin recovered a fumbled pitchout at the 31 and returned it to the Mustang 44-yard line.
So preparing to play a team that runs it as well as Brick Memorial does with its outstanding senior quarterback Tim Santiago running the show can lead to countless sleepless nights for any head coach; slowing it down is a whole other story, especially a team as physical as the Mustangs.
However, Mosquera’s third down pass on the Mustang 39 glanced off the hands of intended target Jeff Lewandowski and into the arms of defensive back Elie Lavarin setting the Mustangs up with a first down at the Eagles 33-yard line. “He (Moaquera) just needed to calm down a little bit,” Eagles head coach Antonucci said. “I take some of the blame for that. We were pretty amped up coming in here tonight and in my pregame speech we got after it a little bit. Maybe I set them off a little bit. They’re such a laid back crew maybe they should teach me a lesson on calming down.” It was here that the Eagles defense really took command and the offense cashed in on some golden opportunities set up by the defense. McCarthy forced a Mustang punt after Santiago barely eluded his sack and threw the ball away on third-and-9 from the 34. Senior inside linebacker Dylan Rogers had two big stops on first and second down leading to the incompletion.
“We knew with their triple-option offense we had to play assignment football,” Eagles junior linebacker James McCarthy said. “We knew if we played assignment football like we’re coached everything would fall into place.” Middletown South - ranked No.1 in the state - was up to the challenge, holding Brick Memorial to 167-yards rushing on 46 carries - for a 3.6 yards per carry average - and 176-total yards as the Eagles defense cleared the path to a 21-3 win Friday night at Brick Memorial’s DiFabio Field. The Shore Conference’s sixth-ranked team, Brick Memorial (5-2) came into the game averaging over 325 yards rushing per game and had scored 203 points in its past five games. The Eagles defense created five turnovers including two interceptions and three fumbles.
Rogers was relentless in his pursuit all night as were McCarthy on the outside and inside linebacker Kevin Higgins. It seemed like the trio were in on just about every tackle with all three recording double-digit tackles. “Has there ever been there ever been a team that had three (linebackers) make First Team All-Shore?” Antonucci asked. “I don’t know. I’m trying not to toot anyone’s horn. But, those are good football players, all three of those kids.” The defensive line, including junior defensive tackle Will Gullick and defensive ends Donald jack Urhig and Krellin, deserves credit as well for tying up the offensive lineman allowing the linebackers to get clean hits for tackles. Also, junior cornerback Maxx Imsho and senior safety Tom Coffey were outstanding in their run support with both making a number of critical stops. In other words, Eagle defense excelled in all phases of the game.
It’s an almost impossible task keeping Santiago under wraps. He came into the game averaging close to 175-yards a game rushing in six games, but the Eagles defense - led by their trio of physical, lightning quick linebackers – held Santiago to 91 yards on 19 carries with much of his yardage coming after contact, as one Eagle defender after another had their hands all over him. “He’s a really good player, I have to give him credit for that,” McCarthy said. “I really respect him, but I think we prepared well for him.” The Mustangs took a quick 3-0 lead on their second possession of the game, driving 28 yards in seven plays before settling for a field
Following the Brick Memorial punt, the Eagles took over at their own 35 with 6:58 remaining in the half and the Mustangs still clinging to a 3-0 lead. On second-and-8 from the 48, junior wide receiver Jeremy Joyce had his defender beat down the left sidelines. Mosquera spotted him wide open and laid a perfect spiral into his out-stretched arms at about the 15-yard line. Joyce caught the ball in full stride before stumbling to the two-yard line for a 50-yard strike.
Rogers, one of the best backs in the state, is an elusive runner that instinctively follows his blocks to find holes but also has deceiving power that allows him to run over tacklers as well. He finished with a game-high 108-tough yards on 23 carries against one of the best defensive lines in the Shore. “There’s no doubt, they’re one of the best defensive lines in the Shore,” Antonucci said. “We knew coming in here watching on film that they get after people and they got some big dudes up there.” The Mustangs didn’t know what hit them and looked stunned as they left the field and headed to the locker room. The Eagles had just scored three touchdowns in just under five minutes. Following a Middletown South punt that opened the second half, the Mustangs drove to the Eagles 18-yard line in a time consuming 12 plays only to be intercepted at the five-yard line by Coffey with 3:19 left in the third. Brick Memorial had just one first down the rest of the way.
McCarthy burst up the middle on the next play virtually untouched for a two-yard score. Mosquera’s extra point kick made it 7-3 providing the Eagles with all the points they would need. After a rough start, Mosquera turned in a solid game going 11-of-18 for 131 yards passing and added 18yards rushing on three carries. It was McCarthy again, when on the Mustangs ensuing passion he picked off Santiago at the 25 and ran it back to the 11 yardline setting up a first-and-10 at the 11. Mosquera got eight on a keeper and McCarthy took it in from the three with Mosquer’a extra point stretching the lead to 14-3 with 3:50 left in the half.
goal on fourth-and-7 from the Eagle 23-yard line. Matt Cuppari’s 40- yard field goal split the post with room to spare. The two teams traded turnovers on the next three series of downs as Eagles senior quarterback Matt Mosquera was picked on the first play of the second quarter by Justin Hans on at the Mustang 13-yard line on second-and-8 and returned all the way to the South 32.
“He’s a talented kid,” Antonucci said of McCarthy. “He’s everything people say he is. He’s got a bright future and he’s going to be a tremendous football player down the road.” The Mustang’s turned it over again, with Rogers pouncing on a Tony Thorpe fumble at the Mustang 13-yard line before running back Cole Rogers powered his way over the goal line on third-and-goal on the one foot line for a 21-3 lead with 22.6 seconds remaining in the half.
Time to Heal Ourselves - Part 1 By Dr. Gordon D. Donald III, MD, FAC
Most everyone has heard of stem cells and growth factors and regenerative medicine in some fashion. Stories abound of professional athletes traveling to Europe for stem cell therapies in an almost secretive fashion. Truly the perception of stem cells has been mystical. As we all know, every tissue in our body is made up of cells. In fact, each tissue is made up of specialized cells, e.g. bone, muscle, skin, heart, brain, etc. Stem cells are simply early-stage cells that have not differentiated into these “specialized” cells but have the potential to do so. For musculoskeletal medicine for orthopedic surgery, we are most interested in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as they may become bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and muscle.
Dr. Gordon D. Donald, lll, MD, FACS
Stem cells have been highly scrutinized here in the U.S. primarily for ethical reasons. Human embryonic stem cells, from unborn babies, is one potential source that has sparked a great deal of criticism. Their use is not
approved for our applications in the US. Instead, we rely on adult stem cells, present in abundance, in all of us. Adult stem cells, especially when trying to maximize MSCs, are found in our bone marrow. When used in an autologous fashion (meaning that they are used on the same person from which they are derived) there are no compatibility or rejection issues and they may impart amazing healing potential to tissue that is otherwise unable to heal. In the United States, the only approved living stem cells for human use our autologous adult cells that are minimally manipulated. This means that there are no chemical or replication processes allowed to be performed on these specimens. Basically this is living tissue that is transferred to the areas in need of healing. What is allowed is concentration of the stem cells are growth factors to deliver these potent healing agents with simply less volume. Consequently, techniques of harvesting and preparing these agents are exceptionally important to their function. Though the science around stem cells and growth factors has been flourishing for years, clinical studies
The Eagles went nowhere and Mosquera was forced to punt out of the end zone setting Brick Memorial up with a first down at the Eagles 42. On fourth-and-4 from the 36 the Mustangs decided to go for it but Imsho sniffed out the play and stopped Santiago after only a one-yard gain. Rogers fumbled on the next possession giving the ball back to the Mustangs but Coffey sliced through and stopped Brandon Cipriano for a five-yard loss on third-and-2 from the Eagle 29. The Mustangs threw up the white flag as they decided to punt with just 4:26 left in the game and down three scores. “They’re a great football team and belong in the spotlight,” Antonucci said. “This was a great test for us as we head into the playoffs when games start meaning a heck of a lot more; it was a real good grind tonight. They’re a blue collar football team, well coached and came out and did a good job tonight.” “This was our toughest challenge yet,” Rogers said. “There’s some tough dudes out there that’ll come up and punch you in the mouth. They got a big set of lineman on both sides of the ball that are tough.”
have recently been showing their great potential for the treatment of multiple musculoskeletal pathologies and ailments. Early and mid-stage degenerative arthritis, chronic tendon problems such as rotator cuff disease were tennis elbow, and degenerative disc disease are just a few of the common problems that may be well treated with these techniques. Truly, regenerative medicine with the use of stem cells and growth factors to treat common orthopedic problems is here to stay. There will always be a need for orthopedic surgical procedures such as joint replacement and spinal fusion, but many patients will be able to avoid such surgery with skilled and proper regenerative medicine techniques. In the next edition of JSN, we will discuss how stem cells work and specific use of regenerative medicine techniques and orthopedics including the clinical results.

RED BANK REGIONAL’S “NIGHT OF INFAMY.” By Mike Ready
RED BANK REGIONAL COMING ON TO THE FIELD Photos by Fran Attardi RED BANK – Friday night, October 16, 2015, will be forever etched into the hearts and souls of anyone who has ties, past-or-present, to the Red Bank Regional Buccaneer football program. On the first crisp and clear, fall-like night of the football season, the town of Red Bank was a buzz. Their two undefeated teams, perennial state power Red Bank Catholic (5-0) and up-and-coming Red Bank Regional (5-0) were about to square off on the Bucs home turf in front of a capacity crowd that made the old Thanksgiving Day crowds look pale in comparison. The Caseys, ranked #2 in the Shore Conference, were heavy favorites over the eighth ranked Buccaneers; for good reason. Red Bank Regional hadn’t beaten the Caseys in over 10 years when they squeaked out 22-21 win on November 6,
This game was what high school football is all about. It brought the town of Red Bank together, and yes, it was all about who won and who would hold the bragging rights for another year. But when it was over - no matter whose side you were on – you walked out after the game saying to yourself, “I can’t believe what I just saw.” It was that good. The win clinched at least a tie for the Shore Conference Class B North championship. It’s the Bucs first divisional title since they won the Class C title in 1977. They can clinch it outright with a win over Long Branch (2-4, 1-3) when the two teams meet on Thanksgiving Day. To get an idea just how big this win was, it snapped the the Caseys 31-game divisional winning streak. The upset win resonated throughout the Shore Conference as Friday night’s finals filtered in and word got out that Red Bank Regional is for real. “This is huge,” head coach Nick Giglio said. “It’s been seven years and we’ve been taking steps along the way with some great players and some great support, and for the last three year’s this senior group has made some big strides. Hopefully this win can lead to a heck of a lot more. We had a lot of youth kids at the game and they saw what we’re doing and hopefully they want to be Bucs too.” One of the big questions coming into the game was whether the Bucs could match the Caseys physicality up front in the trenches. Red Banks defense is ranked among the best in the Shore allowing just under seven points a game.
RBR’S #6 SADIQ PALMER CAN’T BE STOPPED ON THE FIELD 2004. Since then, Red Bank Catholic has won eight straight, outscoring the Bucs 386-33 including 53-0 last year and 49-6 two seasons ago. To make matters worse, the Bucs haven’t had a winning season since 2003 when they went 10-2; losing to Middletown South 24-14 in the CJGIII final. Red Rank Regional is still looking for its first state championship since it beat Hightstown 46-44 for the 1975 CJGII title. But on this night, none of that mattered. Red Bank Regional was the better team, and they proved it on the field by beating the Caseys 24-21 in a Shore Conference “instant classic,” that left the hometeam crowd delirious. The jubilant Buc faithful stormed the field to celebrate with their conquering heroes as senior quarterback Jack Navitsky took a final kneel down.
“We are what we are on defense, and that’s lean and athletic,” Giglio said. “And we’re going to do things to allow them to make big plays. They came out and made some huge stops late in the game.” The Bucs answered that question with a resounding yes, going mano a mano with the Caseys the whole way, holding them to 120-yards rushing on 33 carries and 51-yards passing while picking up 258 yards on the ground and another 83 yards through the air outgaining the Caseys 341-171. Neither team held a lead of more than a touchdown all game and the two rivals went into the locker room tied up at 14. Red Bank Catholic led 21-14 after three quarters and the Bucs scored 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to win it. Both Casey scores in the first half were the result of Red Bank Regional turnovers. However, the Buccaneers were able to answer both with scores of their own.

Middletown North Upsets in Shore Tournament
Page 13
By Michael Ward
Many at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School on Saturday didn’t expect any issues in their Bulldogs moving onto the next stage of the Shore Conference Tournament. That was before Middletown North was able to muster out a narrow 1-0 win, shocking the home crowd and
vindicating what Middletown’s fans who attended knew all along; their team had it in them. Rumson was able to attack deep into Middletown territory, coming close to scoring many times throughout the game. This allowed North’s Goalkeeper, Junior Scott Weigel, to rack up
10 saves adding onto to his season total of 112. The only goal in the game came in heavy traffic, when Junior Ryan Harmon passed to Senior Anthony Chiano within 10 feet of the net; allowing Chiano to get one past Rumson goal keeper Markar Krikorian. With the goal scored within the first half of play, the second half was a contentious back and forth with several aggressive skirmishes between rival players, often inciting reactions from the crowd in an effort to motivate the referees into action.
MIDDLETOWN NORTH’S #28 RYAN HARMON
With a 1-0 lead and the second half winding down to the last two minutes, Middletown played noticeably more conservatively. Their lack of urgency to get the ball downfield, handle throw-ins and making sure much of the team got to handle the ball made sure Rumson didn’t have enough time or contact with the ball to mount a scoring drive. Middletown has had a respectable season thus far, securing 11 wins in the 17 games they’ve played. They’re most impressive match was played against Marlboro when they piled on for a 6-0 win earlier this month.

RED BANK REGIONAL’S “NIGHT OF INFAMY.” continued from page 12
“At halftime we didn’t dwell on the negatives,” Giglio said. “We said it’s 14-14 and we’re right where we want to be. We have two quarters left so go get what you want. And they did.” Senior running back Dylan Murphy gave the Caseys a 21-14 lead on a 3-yard run before the Bucs pulled to within 21-17 on senior Jack O’Connor’s 36-yard field goal with 8:44 left in the game. On the Caseys ensuing possession, the Bucs defense came up with the first of two game deciding fourth-quarter stops. Senior defensive lineman Righteon Johnson sacked Casey quarterback Eddie Hahn on third-and-five for a 10-yard loss as the crowd went hysterical. The Caseys were forced to punt and after two penalties on the Bucs they were looking at a first-and-27 from their own 43-yard line with just over six minutes left in the game. All hell broke loose seconds later when Navitsky took a keeper against the grain down the sideline for a 57-yard touchdown run. O’Connor’s extra point gave the Bucs their first lead of the game 24-21 with 6:04 remaining. After O’Connor’s kickoff, RBC had a firstand-10 on their own 44-yard line before driving to the Red Bank 22-yard line where they faced fourth-and-two. Hahn kept the ball on
a keeper to the right side where he was initially met by senior defensive back Kevine Jackson very close to the first down marker before being swarmed over by a host of Buc tacklers. The ball was spotted just short of the 20-yard line and an official measurement indicated Hahn was stopped just inches short of a first down turning the ball over to the Bucs with 1:57 remaining in this remarkable high school football game. Senior Sadiq Palmer took things into his own hands from there with five straight runs for 37 yards, including first down runs of 19 and nine yards that sealed the deal for the Bucs. “It was the power of the Buc,” Giglio said. “That power, those fans, the alumni, they gave us the strength and the team did it.” The Syracuse-bound Palmer ran for 73 yards on just 10 carries with a touchdown and had six catches for 65 yards. Unsung hero Alim Godsey rushed for a game-high 120 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown. It was a momentous win for the Bucs but now it’s up to them to avoid a let-down. They have a bye this week which will help them heal physically, and then they face three teams they should have no problem beating. After that, it’s the playoffs, and a chance to relive 1975.

GENETIC TESTING PROGRAMS,
Including Athletic Performance and Recovery, Now Available
The Advanced Health and Wellness Center of New Jersey, a subsidy of Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute (AOSMI), now offers an extensive genetic and lab testing program. The genomics program, run by Dr. Neil Paulvin, provides patients with insights into their health, nutrition, athletic performance, and chance of future disease. The Advanced Health and Wellness Center offers onsite tests and evaluations covering a range of health and fitness concerns including explaining and treating 23 and ME© results. There are five primary areas of focus: anti-aging, weight loss or obesity, disease risk, reactions to medication and athletic performance. Anti-aging testing uses hormone and genetic tests to see how well you are aging and damage that has been done to your DNA throughout your life. Also used for weight loss and obesity, genetic and advanced hormone testing offers insight on factors affecting a patient’s specific metabolism and predisposition for obesity. This is used then to aid in creating a safe and effective weight management program through the diet that is right for your body. Complex genetic testing is available to evaluate your risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Specific genomic evaluations are offered to determine which medications are safest and most effective given a patient’s individual genetic makeup, helping avoid adverse reactions due to medication.
Finally, genetic testing for athletes provides patients with a comprehensive evaluation covering how to improve athletic performance and recovery. We can determine how well the body is processing the diet you are eating and if it is the right diet for you. Without the right fuel, the body is not able to function at peak performance or recover from injury as quick as possible. We can also review advanced hormone tests to optimize your levels, which will lead to maximizing your performance and injury recovery. “Genomics gives us this incredible opportunity to understand a patient more completely--and to empower patients to make health and lifestyle decisions based on their genetic makeup. It’s a privilege to be able to access this level of knowledge and to use it to improve or even save lives,” said Paulvin. The genetic testing for athletes is the just the beginning for improving performance and recovery. Once Dr. Paulvin has reviewed the test results, he is able to implement a program based upon your specific needs. Our athlete programs include: functional strength training, nutrition and supplements, osteopathic manipulation, sports focused massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, injections, Kinesio Taping, Graston Technique and many other treatments meant to increase your range of motion, mobility, flexibility, endurance and overall sports performance.

SOUTHERN LOSES NAIL-BITER TO FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP IN SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINALS By Mike Ready
MANAHAWKIN – For the third year in a row, the Southern Regional field hockey team has been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Shore Conference Tournament. The only difference being that this year, for the first time, out of those three losses they lost as the higher seed; dropping a 1-0 decision to #7 seeded Freehold Township (10-4-1,6-2-1) as the second seed. In 2013, they lost to #1 seeded Shore Regional as the ninth seed and a year
later lost to #3 seeded Wall Township as the six seed. This year, the Rams (16-2, 13-1) were ranked 3rd in the Shore Conference and 10th in the state by the Star Ledger and had already won their second straight Class A South title and 10th in program history. The Rams were looking to win their second Shore Conference Tournament title in program history. However, the ninth-ranked Patriots had ideas of their own after losing to Rumson-Fair Haven 6-0 in last year’s SCT semifinals. Rumson ended up dethroning Shore Regional for the championship and finished the season ranked 15th in the nation by Max Field Hockey.
son and Perskin’s second assist. Patriot goalie Darlene Benjamin stopped four Southern shots on goal. Southern Regional goalie Nicole Andriani recorded eight saves for the Rams. 2014 third-team All-Shore selection Madison Skeie had taken her game to another level for the Rams this season. She’s first on the team in goals scored and assists with 24 and 23 respectively. Last July, Skeie committed to attend Providence College and play Division I field hockey for the Friars.
Zoe Sparks and Keeley Winn have both put together solid years for the Rams while taking the next step in field hockey careers. Sparks is second on the team in goals with 17 and third on the team with six assists. Winn is third on the team with 16 goals and second in assists with 18. It’s now time for the Rams to start focusing on the state tournament which begins on October 26. As the #2 seed in this season’s NJSIAA South Jersey Group IV bracket, Southern received a bye and will play the winner of the tenth-seeded Millville versus seventh-seeded Cherokee game.
Last season, the second-seeded Patriots won the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV championship before losing a 13-0 decision to No. 1 seed Eastern, the same team that knocked Southern out of the South Jersey Group IV final 8-0. Eastern. By the way, they ended the season ranked #1 in the nation. So, technically, Southern’s loss to Freehold Township could be termed an upset but these are two teams very close in talent with the difference being the Patriots winning by the slimmest of margins. Freehold Township sophomore Jessica Applegate’s second-half goal was the difference in the game, getting an assist from junior Samantha Perskin. It was Applegate’s seventh goal of the sea-
