MIDDLETOWN NORTH QUIETLY PUTTING TOGETHER BANNER SEASON

By Mike Ready

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP – Without anyone really noticing, Middletown North (121, 8-1) is ranked fourth in the Shore Conference behind Shore powers Rumson-Fair Haven (11-1, 8-0), Shore Regional (10-1-1, 6-0) and Wall (11-0,8-0), in that order.

Three years in the making and still with a lot to prove, this year’s Lions field hockey team is ultra-talented and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the three aforementioned teams.

Two years ago, the Lions (8-11-1) made it to the North 2, Group 3 second round before being eliminated, then last season Middletown North (12-7-1) advanced to the North 2, Group 3 semifinals before falling to state power Summit, 2-0. They also qualified for the Shore Conference Tournament for the first time since 2011 as the No. 10 seed but fell to seventh-seeded Freehold Township in the second round.

Middletown North has won four state sectional titles in program history with the most recent coming 1988 and advanced to the

“Something I always tell the girls as a former athlete is ‘you’ll always remember the games you win but you’ll remember the games you lose more,’” said firstyear head coach “We are a defensive Devon Crimi. “So team but it’s funny, you have to be sure MIDDLETOWN NORTH SCORES we have such a to take every game, young defensive unit game-by-game and try to inch up.

“I am so lucky as a coach to have such a great group of girls,” Crimi said. “They come A real strength for the Lions is their defense, every day to practice so incredibly focused; I which has allowed just 10 goals in their 13 never ever have to get them back on track games.

a strategy of keeping it game by game and most importantly not looking forward.

“The girls know now that when you’re on top the bullseye gets a little bigger and everyone’s going to play their best game against you. I think we’re good enough to compete with anyone, but I also think we’re sort of that underdog that everyone’s secretly rooting for. My girls have a job of just staying humble and working hard knowing that not many people know what we have going on because we haven’t been in this spot in a while. But we feel whoever we face we’ll give them a run for their money.”

UPDATE: The Lions have hit their first bump in the road this season dropping a 3-1 decision to No. 7 Freehold Township (8-2-1, 6-1-1) on Thursday, then losing by that same score on Saturday to rival Middletown South (9-4, 7-3) – who had just dropped out of the top 10. They’ll get a chance to get back on the winning track Monday when they travel to Freehold to take on the No. 9 Colonials (8-3-1, 7-1-1).

TRINITY HALL MAKING STRIDES IN SECOND SEASON OF VARSITY SOCCER

By Mike Ready

TINTON FALLS – In their second official year of varsity soccer after playing as an independent last season, the Monarchs gained entry into the Shore Conference this season as a member of the Class B Central Division.

16 years including a stint as an assistant coach at Monmouth University. He was inducted into the Villanova Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011 and played professional soccer in both the United States and Portugal.

The school is now in their fourth year of existence and to be a member of the Shore Conference you must meet certain minimum requirements, including having 10 varsity teams. Trinity Hall initially didn’t meet that requirement but they now have 13 varsity sports and were granted entry into the Shore Conference beginning this year.

Last season, Trinity Hall won five games, including a 2-1 win against Long Branch, which was pretty impressive considering the school didn’t even have a senior class.

Seniors Katie Valsmedis (three goals), Erica O’Kelly (three goals, two assists) and Alexa Alverio (goal, two assists) along with sophomores Katie Venezia (four goals, three assists) and Kelsy O’Kelly (goal, two assists) all returned and are keys to this year’s team progress.

The team is led by Ken Santos, who is also the school’s athletic director. He has an extensive soccer background as impressive as it is lengthy. He coached the Red Bank Catholic girls soccer team to Shore Conference Championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and state championships in 2005 and 2010. He’s been coaching at the high school and college level for

“I have three seniors that have really stepped up,” said Santos referring to Valsmedis, O’Kelly and Alverio. “They’ve been with me since day one and stuck with it.

I think they can see how much progress we’ve made and they’re really into it. They know that this is now a soccer team and we’re competitive and we’re right there. So they’ve been working hard and leading by example to try to get us to where we want to go.”

Now, with a year of experience under their belts and a senior class to lead the way, Trinity Hall is currently 5-7 after a 4-0 win versus Keyport last Monday and a 5-2 win against Raritan on Wednesday.

TRINITY HALL’S #14 KATELYN VALSAMEDIS

The Monarchs are currently 4-3 in the Class B Central only half a game behind both St. Rose and Ranney and 2.5 games behind undefeated Point Pleasant Beach (90-1, 6-0). However, Trinity Hall has games remaining against all three so in actuality they’re still in the hunt for first place in the division. The bad news is that they’ve already lost to all three schools with the good news being their losses to Ranney and Pt. Beach were by only one goal.

“Our goal was to be .500 at the cutoff date so we could get into the Shore Conference Tournament,” Santos said. “So we’re close to that. It’s such a great tournament and a lot of fun and it would be a great experience for our team. And who knows, you can always get someone on a flat day and sneak one but right now our goal is to get to .500 and get in.”

Venezia leads the team in scoring and freshman Coleen Kelly has been a pleasant surprise for Santos and bodes well for the future.

“Katie’s been our target forward,” Santos said. “She’s fast; she’s strong and is playing her best now which great heading into post season. Coleen is very technical and good on the ball and is going to be outstanding for me for the next couple of years.”

TRINITY HALL’S #4 HANNAH REYNOLDS

Even with the pressure building to get to .500 and make the tournament, Santos insists his team is loose and having fun.

“I can’t get them to stop laughing,” Santos said. “I think they’re all very loose; this is all very new to them. They’re just so into it and love playing. I’m trying to build it up as we’re now a Shore Conference team and this is something they can have a great time with if we can get into the tournament.

They know there will be some growing pains when facing teams that are established, but it just takes a little bit of extra to get there and it’s been great for them.”

UPDATE: The Monarchs beat Long Branch on Saturday, 2-1, improving to 6-7 on the year enhancing their chances of qualifying for the SCT with a .500 record with division leader Pt. Beach up next on Monday.

O’Kelly recorded her team-leading fourth goal of the season and the freshman Coleen Kelly picked up her second goal of the year.

POINT PLEASEANT BORO FALLS TO PINELANDS BUT REMAINS IN THE HUNT FOR B SOUTH DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

By Frank Miele The Point Pleasant Boro Panthers lost a heartbreaker to Pinelands on Friday by a score of 1-0.

The loss dropped the Panthers to third place behind Pinelands and Jackson Memorial, but the Panthers are still in the hunt for a B South title.

The Panthers threatened with several shots on goal down to the final seconds of the game, but Pinelands was able to hold them scoreless. The Panthers are usually the ones dishing out shutouts to their opponents. They’ve only allowed four goals 12 games.

Point Boro scored six goals in their opening game against Manchester. Haley Hanrahan had two goals for the Panthers while Devin Moeller, Julia DeLong, Jackie Boud and Jordan Carr each scored a goal.

The Panthers lost their second game to Central Regional, 1-0, but rebounded with an 8-0 win over Barnegat. It was a great day for Hanrahan, who scored three of the eight goals. Morgan Mulvey scored two of her own, as did Carr.

Cassie Campbell added one for the win.

Tuesday, October 18th 6:30pm - 8:30pm Important Admissions Dates: Freshmen for a Day October 12th, 14th, 26th or November 2nd High School Placement Test Saturday, November 5th Admissions Application Deadline Friday, December 2nd

Hanrahan scored three goals and led the offensive attack on Brick Township, who became Point Boro’s next victim. Mulvey had two goals and Moeller and Boud had one goal each. Kiley Spinello recorded an incredible 23 saves for the shutout.

After fighting to a 0-0 tie with Lacey, the Panthers hammered Lakewood, 9-0, with three goals by Boud and two goals by Mulvey. Sophia Correia,

DeLong, Keira McNamara and Alexa Rossi each found the net as well.

The Panthers then fell, 3-2, to Pinelands. Casey Blake and Mulvey each scored in the second half but the Panthers fell short.

Jackson Liberty was next. Hanrahan scored five minutes into the second half to give Point Boro the 1-0 win over the defending division champs.

Carson Swisher made three save to secure the shutout.

Mulvey, Boud, Carr and Blake scored as Point Pleasant Boro beat Brick Memorial, 4-1.

Boud scored one goal and had two assists as Point Pleasant Boro defeated Manchester Township, 7-0, at home.

Hanrahan, Carr, DeLong, McNamara, Moeller and Mulvey each scored one goal as the Panthers defeated Manchester for the second time by a score of 7-0.

The Panthers continued on a roll beating Barnegat, with Hanrahan slamming in four goals.

Blake, Mulvey and Carr each scored a goal in the 7-0 victory.

Point Boro dropped to the number 3 position with the loss to Pinelands, but any team averaging almost five goals per game while giving up only four all season cannot be counted out as contenders.

WINNING TRADITION BEING KEPT INTACT AS SHORE REGIONAL CONTINUES TO ROLL

By Mike Ready

Luckily, the Blue Devils did bring back second team All-Shore midfielder Kelsey O’Neill, first team defender Kaitlyn Hunter, All-Division players Abby Kopec and Maggie Lamb and vital contributors Vicki LaMorte, Lauren Maul and Talia Cantaffa.

Plus, as usual, a number of underclassmen have stepped right in and made an impact.

Freshman Lily Santi actually leads Shore Regional in goals scored with 15 and points with 18 assists, while her older sister Molly has made the transition in goal a smooth one allowing just five goals in the Blue Devils’ 12 games stopping 40 shots in the process.

Amazingly, the Blue Devils have won 45 straight division titles and are on pace to make it 46 by winning the Class B Central this season.

SHORE REGIONAL’S #42 ANNA COOPER WEST LONG BRANCH – Nancy Williams brought the Shore Regional field hockey program into national prominence during her 44-year reign as head coach for the Blue Devils and current head coach Kelly Koenig has kept its reputation unscathed.

In her two years at the helm at Shore Regional, Koenig’s teams have won back-to-back NJSIAA Group I titles after taking home consecutive North 2, Group 1 sectional championships.

Tournament crown is high on the Blue Devils’ priority list and if you ask any player on the team, probably the most important.

UPDATE: On Friday the Blue Devils took over sole possession of first place in the B Central with a 2-1 victory over No. 8 Henry Hudson (9-1, 6-1). O’Neill and Lilly Santi scored and Molly Santi had three saves. Shore outshot the Admirals, 14-4. Then on Saturday, Shore (12-1-1, 7-0) broke open a 1-0 game after the first half scoring five second-half goals while holding Jackson Memorial (4-4-1) scoreless for a 5-0 non-divisional win. O’Neill had two goals and an assist, Lilly Santi matched O’Neill’s two goals and Lamb and Olsen each recorded one goal. Lamb added two assists and Anna Cooper picked up her second assist on the year. Molly Santi stopped three shots for the shutout while the Blue Devils had 18 shots on goal.

In Wednesday’s 8-0 win over St. Rose, Kopec, Maul and Santi each recorded two goals with Santi also assisting on one, while O’Neill and Cantaffa chipped in with a goal apiece.

Lamb had a game-high three assists and junior Amanda Halper contributed an assist.

Kopec is second on the team in goals scored with 12 and points with 15 while Cantaffa and LaMorte have banged in eight goals apiece. O’Neil has six goals and four assists while both Lamb and Halper have chipped in with five goals with Lamb also leading the team with six assists. Sophomore Emmalee Olsen is another youngster who’s stepped up with three goals and four assists.

This season the Blue Devils (10-1-1, 6-0) are ranked second in the Shore Conference and No. 15 in the state. Shore’s only blemish of the season came on an opening day 2-0 loss to Rumson-Fair Haven – currently ranked No. 1 in the Shore and sixth in the state.

To Shore’s credit, they’re a program that never seems to be in a rebuilding mode as they recycle one outstanding player after another. It’s as though the till is never empty producing a wealth of talent year after year.

An impressive feat considering Shore had to replace three first team All-Shore players and over 100 goals scored with current D-1 players Jessica Welch (Stanford University), Annie Deusch (Monmouth University) and goalie Sarah Dwyer (Boston College) having graduated.

Besides winning another division title and state championship, there is another hurdle the Blue Devils are desperately trying to jump this season. After winning 15 consecutive Shore Conference Tournament titles dating back to 1999, Rumson-Fair Haven has beaten Shore in the last two tournament finals, 2-0 in 2014 and 1-0 last year. Taking back the Shore Conference

THIRD-RANKED WALL BEATS MIDDLETOWN SOUTH TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED

By Mike Ready

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP – Wall field hockey kept their winning streak alive with a 3-1 win over Middletown South Thursday moving to 11-0 on the season and 9-0 in Class B North play.

tions Samantha Scire and Michaela Thompson, 14-goal scorer Niccolette Keale, and All-Division picks Bernadette Crehan and Casey Desarno just to name a few.

Zelda Wagner scored twice and Meghan Cole got the game clincher with 17.7 seconds left in the contest to seal the deal for the Crimson Knights as their season-long winning streak reached 11 games. Cole added an assist for the Knights as did Hanna Zarrilli, her ninth of the season.

“This is a rebuilding year; we lost ten kids from last year,” said head coach Nancy Gross, who took over in 1971 and is in her 46th year coaching Wall with over 500 wins. “I never project and I never know what we’re going to do. I knew we had two terrific kids that were going to be the base of the team but from then on we have what I like to call ‘newbies.’ Maura McGowan, our other senior, has also stepped up and has done a very good job.”

Middletown South goalie Sam Messina had a busy day in the cage stopping a whopping 31 Wall shots on goal as the Knights spent most of the day on the Eagles’ side of the 50.

This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for Wall, having to replace the likes of first team All-Shore selec-

The two senior players Gross is referring to are midfielders Emily Surgent and Zarrilli. Playing the forward position last year, Surgent was a first team All-Shore pick after scoring 48 goals – second in the Shore – and assisting on 29 others. Zarrilli – a second team All-Shore selection – found the back of the cage 24 times and had 12 assists.

“Zarrilli (seven goals, nine assists) and Surgent (18 goals, 13 assists) have done just a terrific job of being mentors, guiding people and being friends and have really helped meld the team,” said Gross of her two star players. “Emily is a team player and has sacrificed some goals switching from forward to midfield this season but she knew that her energy and her talent would be better served at mid and that’s what she decided and I went along with it and it’s turned out beautifully.”

WALL’S #14 KYLIE BRANNON

Gross may consider this a rebuilding year but to their opponents all they see is another very strong Wall team that is currently ranked No. 3 in the state.

“Anybody who knows me knows I don’t look at that,” Gross said.

“Show me that on Thanksgiving Day and I’ll be fine. I just look game-togame and want to see each girl improve; that’s why they know on the inside I’m a marshmallow and on the outside I want them to be the best they can totally be. I press and press until they get it in their heads that they can do what I ask them to do.”

Wagner and Kiera Gill have really come on in their sophomore season. Wagner scored her 14th and 15th goals of the season and Gill has netted eight goals with three assists.

“Zelda is coming along well and is in the position Emily was last season,” Gross said. “She’s scoring quite a bit and has very nice skills. Kiera is very interesting and exciting because she never got to play last year with a torn ACL. Her skills are beautiful; she just needs to develop some after missing last year but she’s doing really, really well.”

WALL’S #13 EMILY SURGENT

Last season Wall lost to Rumson-Fair Haven in the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals then got a bit of revenge beating the Bulldogs, 1-0, to capture the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II title.

With the Shore Conference seeding next Tuesday and the states two weeks later, postseason play is just around the corner.

“I feel good about this team, I really do; they’re great kids,” Gross said. “If I can get them to believe in themselves and believe in one another we could win a title or two.”

CRODDICK GETS HAT TRICK AS RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN BEATS SAINT JOHN VIANNEY, 8-0

By Mike Ready

The Bulldogs also have a 3-2 win over No. 7 Bridgewater-Raritan (11-1) handing the Panthers their only loss of the season.

Senior goalie Alexandra DeVito – who’s filled the spot vacated by highly underrated goalie Anna Babiak nicely - basically had the night off facing just one shot on goal with one save in the shutout win. The Rumson defense again suffocated its opponent and has allowed just six goals this season while the offense has torched the opposition for 80 goals.

RFH’S #11 MAKENNA MEGUIRE RUMSON – Junior forward Lilly Croddick had three goals and two assists to lead the Bulldogs to an 8-0 win over Saint John Vianney Thursday in Rumson.

Sophomore Bridy Molyneaux and junior Makenna Maguire each scored twice with Maguire also getting an assist for Rumson, while junior Emma D’Amelio chipped in with one goal as the Bulldogs thoroughly dominated the Lancers for their tenth win in a row since losing 3-2 to fifth-ranked Moorestown (11-0) back on September 10.

The defense is led by juniors Elizabeth Horan and Julia Hearns with junior midfielder/defender and Cornell University recruit Kaitlyn MacGillis helping out in the backfield as well.

After winning sectional titles in 2012 and 2013, the Bulldogs took it a step further in 2014 winning the NJSIAA Group II title before losing to Eastern in the Tournament of Champions semifinals. Last season they lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Wall in the CJGII final after beating Wall 3-0 in the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals.

Currently, the Bulldogs (11-1, 8-0) are ranked No. 1 in the Shore Conference and sixth in the state.

Rumson entered the season having to replace first team All-Shore midfielders Madison Maguire (42 goals, 15 assists) and Maggie Jennings (21 goals, 27 assists) along with second team All-Shore defender Kara Dixon.

Maguire, who is now at University of Maryland, was also a first team All-State selection while Jennings was a third team All-State pick and is playing for Villanova University.

Luckily for Rumson they returned 11 key players from last year’s 21-1 squad and have filled Maguire’s and Jennings’ shoes quite nicely.

Croddick, who is a Stanford University commit, was a second team All-State pick a year ago when she recorded 46 goals and 10 assists. She has again been phenomenal for the Bulldogs, leading the team in goals (23) and points (34) this season while Molyneaux has had a tremendous sophomore season with 17 goals and seven assists.

Makenna Maguire (Madison’s younger sister) has been a pillar of consistency with 11 goals and 11 assists and after a stellar 2015 season that saw her score 17 goals with six assists. D’Amelo is at it again with 10 goals and seven assists. Also in her first year of varsity field hockey, sophomore Elana Werner has answered the bell scoring eight goals and assisting five others.

RFH’S #13 ELIZABETH HORAN never looked back. Croddick recorded her second hat trick in as many games giving her 26 goals on the season. She also assisted on one goal while Weiner stayed hot with two goals and Maguire rounded out the goal scoring with her 12th goal of the season. Molyneaux added two assists and Maguire had one. DeVito was credited with three saves.

The Bulldogs have gone 64-4-3 over the last three years and last season became only the third team in Shore Conference history to win back-to-back Shore Conference Tournament titles and could be the only other team besides Shore Regional to win three in a row if they can repeat the feat again this season.

After being eliminated in the CJGII final last season, the Bulldogs have set their sights on another state title and a return trip to the Tournament of Champions.

MATAWAN – The Matawan Huskies have been putting together a great season so far this year. Although the team from northern Monmouth usually puts up a good fight in recent years, they’ve improved measurably compared to past seasons by putting up a 9-2-1 season throughout the September and the beginning of October.

But when the season initially started, some doubts had to creep in as they faced off against Shore Regional in their first game. Facing the Blue Devils after Shore’s impressive season last year would be a daunting challenge for any team, but the Huskies took it in stride. In the season opener, Matawan owned the first half, scoring two unanswered goals.

But once the second half began, Shore’s offense woke up, scoring four goals only to be answered by one more from Matawan.

With a 4-3 loss to start the season, Matawan wasn’t going to make coming up short a habit.

In their next game at St. John Vianney, Matawan shut out the Lancers in the first half while scoring a goal of their own and overwhelmed Vianney in the second with three goals to one. The 4-1 win may not have been the official start of the season for Matawan, but it was the beginning of a long streak of strong performances that saw them on top for most of the season.

Braves Can’t Be Stopped, Undefeated Through Five

10/11/16 - 10/24/16 • Jersey Sporting News

Seven St. Rose Seniors Commit to Division I and II Schools

By Michael Ward

MANALAPAN – The Manalapan Braves have been on fire throughout their first five match-ups of the season.

from quarterback Luke Corcione, who found Symir Blacknall and Taylor for six points each time. Manalapan’s defense proved formidable in this game too, as Freehold Borough went down by a score of 14-0.

To put things into perspective, while the team as a whole has scored a staggering 186 points throughout the season to this point, they’ve only allowed a total of 20 points to be scored against them amongst their several lopsided match-ups.

Most of those opposing points came from Marlboro in their first game of the season. While Manalapan railroaded their opponents throughout the game, with seven points coming in the first quarter and 14 points being scored in each subsequent quarter, Marlboro was able to quietly sneak in two touchdowns with failing extra point attempts each time. The 49-12 victory was an excellent victory for the Manalapan Braves, but their games would only get more decisive as the season wore on.

When Southern Regional came to Manalapan for a Friday night matchup, Manalapan blew the game wide open in the first quarter with a scoring

Colts Neck found a way to score against Manalapan, although it was only once. The Cougars’ only successful drive was capped off with a twopoint conversion to bring their total scoring to 8, but none of that phased Corcione, as he completed 11 of his 17 pass attempts on the game, threw for 188 yards and was behind four touchdowns as Manalapan prevailed over Colts Neck, 41-8.

MANALAPAN’S #11 NAIM MAYFIELD punt return by Naim Mayfield and a pair of pass and rushing touchdowns

by Chris Maksimik to put Manalapan up, 21-0.

The piling on didn’t stop there as in the second quarter L’Jeron Holder and Michael Taylor pulled in passes for touchdowns. A failed extra point attempt gave Manalapan a 34-0 lead by the second half, with the game finally concluding at 41-0.

St. Rose is proud to announce that currently seven seniors will be furthering their athletic careers at NCAA Division I and I colleges.

• Robert Brugnoli will play lacrosse at Mount St. Mary’s College.

In the coming weeks, Manalapan will play Howell away, then come home to face Neptune. Their last two games of the regular season will be played at Piscataway and Freehold Township at home.

• Erin Dailey will play soccer at College of William & Mary.

If Manalapan’s high-octane offense and solid defense continue through the rest of the season, the Braves have a serious chance at muscling through playoff opponents and capturing a state championship.

• Casey Liming will play soccer Rowan University.

• Brenden Hueth will play baseball at St. Joseph's University.

• Jennifer Louro will play basketball at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.

• Alexandria Pendergrass will play basketball at Manhattan College.

Manalapan then headed north to Old Bridge, where they brought an equal amount of pain for their Middlesex County opponent. Piling on two touchdown drives in each of the first three quarters brought the final score to 41-0 again. Rusher Mayfield has the hot feet as he ran in three touchdowns on the game, one of which was run for 68 yards.

• Ellyn Stoll will play basketball at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Congratulations to these fine student athletes.

The Braves then faced off against Freehold Borough. Freehold’s defense was able to contain Manalapan more successfully than other teams who’ve faced the Braves, but still had to concede to scoring drives in the second and fourth quarters. Both touchdown drives ended with passes

CLOSE CALL AGAINST MANCHESTER LEAVES POINT BORO 5-0

By Michael Ward

Hornets Still Buzzing Despite Recent Slide

By Michael Ward

POINT PLEASANT – Too close for comfort may be an understatement for how the Point Pleasant Borough Panthers felt after leaving Manchester on Friday night.

HOLMDEL – The Holmdel Hornets have had a rollercoaster season to say the least. For the early part of September, the prospects of their 2016 season seemed uncertain, as in their first three games they won, lost and tied their opponents.

After a dominant first four games so far this season that have seen their football prowess untested, Point Boro found themselves in the fight of their life.

But then in a tear that caught the watchful eye of spectators, Holmdel went on an impressive fourgame winning streak to establish themselves as a worthy adversary along the Jersey Shore.

After Point’s James Fara ran the ball into the endzone and a failed extra point left only six points on the scoreboard for the duration of the first quarter, Manchester unloaded with three touchdown drives in the second quarter, leaving Point Boro with a lot of work to do going into the second half.

But while a 21-6 deficit may be too much for most teams to come back from, once they came back from halftime, the Panthers were all business. Fara once again went to work, running the ball in for a touchdown. Then after an unproductive outing from Manchester, it was Tanner Gordon’s turn to cap off a scoring Point Boro drive. A successful two-point conversion tied it at 21-21. Once Point Boro got the ball back, Fara came up big with a 70-yard run to put Point Boro ahead, 28-21.

In the fourth quarter, Manchester wasn’t going down without a fight. They managed to find one more scoring drive to get them within a point to tie; all that was left was the kick.

Instead of playing it safe, Manchester elected

The Hornets began their attack on the opening game of the season against Red Bank Regional, a team that has seen their fair share of success in recent seasons. It was a close battle throughout but Holmdel was able to put points on the board throughout the game.

Torre Alvitabile was responsible for two goals, one in each half. Once Red Bank tied it all up with two quick goals of their own in the second, Matt Lionette came through in double overtime with the deciding goal. The Hornets took the win by a score of 3-2.

PT. BORO’S QB JAMES FARA Photos by Tom Smith half and two in the third quarter while only allowing two touchdowns with no extra points.

28-12 was the final score of their second game of the season as they eagerly awaited their next opponents.

If Holmdel had any thoughts of capturing an undefeated season, Matawan was quick to assure them it wouldn’t be so. Their match was extremely close, with equal action from both sides dominating the first half. But Matawan’s Tyler Walling eventually broke to score the game’s only goal. The Huskies shut out the Hornets in a close 1-0 game.

Although Holmdel took the loss in stride and came back to the pitch with much more energy attributed to their offense, the Hornets couldn’t break a stalemate with the Shore Regional Blue Devils as they

Donovan Catholic knew they had an uphill battle on their hands when Point Boro came to play them in the third week of action. Scoring was evenly paced in the first quarter of play, with each team scoring a touchdown. But that’s when things started to shift in Point’s direction as the Panthers kept their scoring up in the second and third quarters with a touchdown in each. The game ended with Boro doubling up in touchdown drives compared to Donovan in the fourth, two Boro touchdowns to only one of Donovan’s. The final score was 34-13.

PT. BORO’S TANNER GORDON ON A RUNNING PLAY IN SECOND HALF to attempt the two-point conversion to seal a victory. But Point Boro had other plans. They quickly shut down the play and Point Boro came out the victors in a tight 28-27 contest.

Point Pleasant then went on to shutout Monmouth Regional by a score of 42-0 before finally facing Manchester and nearly putting their perfect season in jeopardy. The Panthers will have to get through Lakewood, Jackson Liberty, Ocean Township and Barnegat before we know for sure that they’ll have a hugely impressive, undefeated 2016.

Now 5-0, a match-up this tight is rare for a team that is usually dominant over many of its opponents.

HOLMDEL’S #4 TORRE AVITABILE ended the match in a tie. Mark McStay was the only player from the Hornets to find the inside of the net in the 1-1 game.

PT. BORO’S JAMES FARA

In a matchup at home against Ranney, they outmuscled their opposition and came out on top with a 3-1 advantage. Anthony Arena, Mark McStay and Michael Neff all contributed equally with a goal each in the win.



ONE ON ONE TREATEMENT WITH THE SAME THERAPIST MANUAL THERAPY APPROACH

TO COMMUNICATE & EDUCATE ON THE DIAGNOSIS, CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE PATIENT 

INDIVIDUALIZED AND PROGRESSIVE TREATMENT PLAN 

Almost in boomerang-like fashion however, three of Holmdel’s opponents came back to face them in the latter part of the schedule and all three times Holmdel couldn’t turn the same result around they had produced the first time.

With games against Rumson, Saint John Vianney and Raritan left on the schedule, all team’s they’ve seen and defeated before, we’ll see what Holmdel has in store for them throughout October.

OF OUR NEW FACIITY IN MANASQUAN!



Raritan was next to face the killer Hornets, as their defense proved to be too much for the Rockets. The Hornets eventually bested them by a score of 1-0.

Neff proved key on offense with the only goal of the game, with Nobrega earning an assist.

In a late September matchup against Red Bank Regional and a match against the Matawan Huskies on the first of October, Holmdel was shut out on both occasions by a score of 1-0. Shore Regional also came back to Holmdel seeking revenge and got it, winning their rematch by a score of 4-2.

WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE GRAND OPENING



Next to come to Holmdel’s home turf was Saint John Vianney. After a scoreless first half, the offense kicked it up a notch in the second. Although the Lancers were able to sink a goal, Holmdel came back with two of their own from Arena to seal the deal. Holmdel pulled out the win by a score of 2-1.

After as mixed a start as a team can produce in their first three games, the Hornets were able to recalibrate and strengthen their offensive and defensive output. Whatever changes were made, worked with phenomenal success as Holmdel faced tough and talented teams and came out on top throughout the second half of September.

When Point Pleasant’s season started against Pinelands, they set the tone for what would be their usual playing style throughout the rest of the season. Scoring consistently and often throughout the game, Point Boro was able to break into the 2016 season with a 31-12 win, scoring 14 in each of the two first quarters and capping it all off with a field goal in the third.

The Panthers kept up the heat against Lacey as well, scoring two touchdowns in the first

At Rumson-Fair Haven, they managed to leash the Bulldogs and won by a score of 4-1. Two of Holmdel’s four goals came from Arena, with Neff and Leo Nobrega rounding out the offense with a goal each.

JACKSON MEMORIAL FALLS TO TOMS RIVER NORTH BUT REMAINS IN CONTENTION FOR THE A SOUTH TITLE

By Frank Miele JACKSON – The Jackson Memorial Jaguars are very much in the race for the A South Girls Soccer honors with a record of 7-3 closely trailing second-place Toms River South (81-1) and division-leader Toms River North (9-1).

Lindsay Bathmann scored the only goal of the game and Kylee Sullivan had six saves.

The Jags’ Natalie Knauf tied the game with a goal making the score 2-2. Madison Taylor sealed the deal for the Jags for an overtime win. Sullivan was credited with five saves.

The Central Regional Golden Eagles were the Jags’ next vic-

tim. The Jags steamrolled their way to a 5-0 victory, with two goals by Taylor and single shots

by Halie Diaz, Alyssa Fernandez and Cassidy Johnson. Sullivan and Rachel Colt combined for 12 saves.

The train ride continued with the Jags blanking the Brick Memorial Dragons, 2-0. This matchup featured goals by Fernandez and Caitlyn Fogarty assisted by Carissa Eckel and Bathmann.

MATER DEI GETS FIRST WIN OVER SHORE REGIONAL IN NINE YEARS

By Mike Ready

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP – With a new head coach, new players and a new attitude, this isn’t the same Mater Dei football program that had not recorded a win against Shore Regional since 2006 losing those nine games by a combined score of 379-48. This is the new and improved, sleeked-down version that was on display Saturday in Middletown; and they didn’t disappoint.

er before reaching the end zone. Senior Josh Campi had a 27-yard burst up the middle nearly breaking it setting a first down at the 13yard line.

The Seraphs turned the tables on their longtime rival with a 41-7 beat-down, handing Shore its worst defeat since a 41-0 loss to Manasquan in 2006. The Seraphs also took a giant step toward their first Shore Conference division title improving to 3-0 in the division and 5-0 overall.

Pearce found Ryan Mandelbaum for 14 yards; Lewis rumbled down the right sidelines for a 19-yard pickup and Pearce lofted a fade into the right corner of the end zone that Marvin Pierre came down with after out-leaping a defender for the touchdown and a 20-7 halftime lead.

“We came into the game to dominate,” said Mater Die transfer quarterback George Pearson. “Domination was the word all week.”

“We feel like we can go all the way and win it, the state championship,” said Pierre, who ran for two touchdowns and caught a touchdown pass.

It was not only a dominant win but a statement win that alerted the other members of the Class B Central that there’s a “New Sheriff in Town.”

After receiving the opening kickoff, Shore started out on their own 32-yard line and that’s where they ended after a two-yard sack by Ma-

The Blue Devils went three-and-out and were forced to punt from deep in their own territory with Mater Dei taking over on the Shore 40yard line with 3:25 left in the half.

MATER DEI’S #1 MARVIN PIERRE ter Dei linebacker/wide receiver Eddie Lewis on third-and-8.

Mater Dei has never won a state championship and it has won just three playoff games in its history; that may change this year.

Following the punt, on the Seraphs first play from scrimmage, Pearson ran the ball up the middle on a quarterback keeper, broke a few tackles and found daylight down the left side scampering 46 yards for a touchdown and an early 7-0 lead.

The Seraphs opened the second half with a 13play, 69-yard drive with Pierre scoring from the one. Then Pierre padded the score with a 39yard touchdown run tight-roping down the left sideline on a sweep for a 34-7 lead with 3:59 left in the third quarter.

MATER DEI’S #21 JUSTIN MCRAE On Mater Dei’s next possession, Ferrisi hauled in a 43-yard strike from Pearce to complete the scoring.

“We’re trying to improve every week. Every day in practice we work hard,” said Pearson, who had two touchdown passes along with his 46-yard run and accounted for 195 yards of total offense.

On Shore’s ensuing possession, junior Jon Leverock picked off quarterback Matt Pennell’s third-and-8 offering at the 20 returning it to the 25-yard line. Fifteen plays and 75 yards later, sophomore running back Sincere Saunders took in from the one for a 13-0 lead with 1:19 left in the first quarter after the extra-point was blocked.

A Person to Lewis 24-yard pass play was the big gainer in the drive and a Pearson to Russell Ferrisi 12-yard third-down conversion for a first down kept the drive alive.

Shore immediately answered with a five-play, 57-yard touchdown drive that senior Lukas Jackey finished off with a bruising 11-yard run as he fought through one tackle after anoth-

Matawan Soccer continued from page 10

In a close matchup with Holmdel, Tyler Walling broke a scoreless game open in the second half with a goal, sealing up another win for Matawan.

Next, the Huskies moved on to Rumson-Fair Haven, where another close game that was scoreless throughout the first, saw its only goal in the second half scored by Matawan’s Tyler Chin.

Matawan proved with two key wins that they can succeed against tough opponents, but in their following game against Manasquan, they showed spectators that they can win and do so without the tight margins they’ve become accustomed to ending games with. During their game with Manasquan, Jacob Labinger, Liam Nappi and John Vail all put together an incredible offensive effort to score three unanswered goals in a shutout 3-0 game.

Following the Manasquan win, the Huskies had a rematch against St. John Vianney where

they prevailed for a second time, besting the Lancers by a score of 3-2.

While some teams have a bit of a mid-season slide, it can be argued that the Huskies experienced one as well. But what constituted a dip in performance for Matawan would be seen as good performances by less successful teams and went by in a blink of an eye.

In a two-game change of pace for Matawan, they tied with the Rockets of Raritan in a 2-2 game and lost only their second game of the season to Red Bank Regional. But just like nothing ever happened, Matawan came back and won four games straight from Shore Regional, Holmdel, Rumson and Asbury Park.

Matawan looks to rack up more wins against Raritan, Red Bank Catholic, Red Bank Regional and Long Branch before the season ends. Then, it’s on to tournament play where the Huskies hope their winning ways don’t stop anytime soon.

TOMS RIVER NORTH FIELD HOCKEY COMMANDS THE A SOUTH DIVISION

By Frank Miele

The Toms River North Mariners are having a stellar 2016 field hockey season, leading their division with a 10-1-1 overall record. The Mariners fell only to Wall in a non-divisional match-up early in the season and played to a 1-1 tie with Southern.

They currently boast a four-game winning streak with a combined 19 goals while giving up only four.

After the 1-1 tie with Southern, they blanked the Brick Township Dragons, 8-0. Brianna Solly scored three goals and Maggie Downs added two more. Noelle Bisogno, Mia Porter, and Brittney Szigetti added one goal each. Gabby Gibson and Jessica Holtz combined for four saves.

Then it was Toms River East’s turn. The Mariners pounded in five goals in a 5-0 shutout victory. Maggie and Solly scored twice. Mia Porter also found the net giving the Mariners the victory.

Gabby Gibson had five saves and Holtz had one.

The Central Regional Golden Eagles were up next. Szigeti found the net twice for the Mariners and Downs added one goal giving the Mariners the win, 3-2.

The Mariners then took on the Toms River South Indians. Solly, Porter, and Szigeti all scored goals in the 3-2 win.

Lancers Undefeated Through Five Games

By Michael Ward

As the Lancers moved to Raritan High School to face the Rockets for their second game of the season, they saw some life from their opponents, but not enough to overcome the crushing offense that SJV can bring when they’re firing on all cylinders. SJV defeated the Rockets, 41-14.

Against Red Bank Regional at home, the Lancers once again made it impossible for their opposition to even get close to the end zone. The Lancers were up 21-0 by the second half and completed the game with by tacking on another unanswered 16, making the final score 37-0.

Football didn’t seem remotely challenging to the Lancers throughout the first three games of the season. But in their fourth game, Saint John Vianney was almost blindsided by a scrappy Brick Township team that put SJV on the defensive in the first quarter of the game. For the first time all season, the Lancers found themselves down by a score of 14-0.

It wasn’t easy for Saint John Vianney to recover. In the second quarter, while they were able to prevent Brick from inflicting any more damage, the Lancers were only able to put up six points after a failed kick left them shy of half way recovered. A scoreless third quarter left it all to the fourth. That’s when the Lancers’

SJV’S #14 MATT DeGENNARO Photos by Tom Smith SJV’S #3 HAAZIG DANIELS

HOLMDEL – Last year’s Saint John Vianney Lancers put together an undefeated campaign throughout the 2015 season. They crushed all competition that laid in their wake in the regular season, climbed their way up the bracket in the playoffs, and saw their only loss of the season in their championship game.

offense took their chance as Johnny Buchanan was able to run the football in for a touchdown and Haaziq Daniels ran it in as well with a tying two-point conversion. Once the tied game went to overtime, Chris Chukwuneke ran it in for a game-deciding touchdown. The Lancers opted for a successful two-point conversion on the final TD as well, ending the game with a 22-14 score.

This year, Saint John Vianney looks to repeat their regular season dominance, repeat a strong showing in their playoff bracket and then break away from the course they set last year by capturing a championship. With the way the Lancers have been playing so far this season, there’s no reason to think it can’t happen.

If SJV missed the feeling of totally dominating an opponent, they were able to experience it once again when they played Holmdel and beat the Hornets, 35-7. The Lancers scored all of their points in the first half while Holmdel finally got on the board in the second.

Throughout this season so far, Saint John Vianney has exploited every defensive flaw in their opponents, strategically turning seemingly every drive into gold, manufacturing big wins over teams that seem to be clueless on how to stop them.

The season started with the Matawan Huskies coming to Saint John Vianney. While the Huskies were on the field, it became clear that the Lancers wouldn’t allow them on the scoreboard all night as SJV came out victorious with a 31-0 shutout.

SJV’S #1 CHRIS CHUKWUNEKE

With games against Rumson, Red Bank Catholic, Middletown South and Monmouth Regional to round out the regular-season schedule, we’ll see if SJV can complete their season without a loss and whether they can they can take their winning ways all the way through to a championship game later in the year.
