WOBM Christmas Classic Tip-Off Brunch
A
s it’s been for nearly twenty years WOBM Christmas Classic week began on December 15th with a Tipoff Brunch hosted by the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center in Toms River. More than 270 players, coaches, officials and special guests gathered inside the main ballroom for what has become one of the highlights of the tournament. Hungry student-athletes made return trips to the buffet line which featured a delicious breakfast cooked-up and served by the Clarion’s awardwinning staff. The Clarion has been a gracious supporter of the WOBM Christmas Classic by sponsoring and hosting the opening event which allows players to come together before they step on the court at the Pine Belt Arena in Toms River to battle for the prestigious title which concludes with the two championship games on Wednesday, December 30th.
As he usually does founder/director Kevin Williams talked about the growth of what’s become one of the premier holiday tournaments in all of New Jersey. From 8 boys teams playing over three days at Ocean County College to what is now a 32-team event (16 boys, 16 girls) that takes 7 days and 52 games the present WOBM Christmas Classic does not even resemble the early years. Established by Williams with an assist from then-Southern coach Jim Ruhnke the tournament replaced the Southern Regional Roundball Festival and has become a must-see for basketball fans over the holiday break.
Two new teams have joined the field this year with the boy’s team from Wall back after a short hiatus to replace Brick while Sayreville War Memorial fills the girls spot vacated by Shore. Also introduced at the breakfast were new head coaches Jason Bloom (Brick Memorial) and Nick Georgiou (Middletown South). Among those to take the podium were Toms River Regional Schools Superintendent David Healey who welcomed the teams to the Pine Belt Arena
On hand was Joe Stroffolino, Director of Advertising & Marketing for the Causeway Family of Dealerships, an original sponsor who has supported the tournament since 1984. Owned and operated by David C. Wintrode and his son David G. Wintrode the Causeway Family (Ford, Honda, Nissan, Lincoln) is known for their charitable support and this year has taken an expanded role in Joe Stroffolino, Director of Advertising & the WOBM CC by providing tee shirts for Marketing for the Causeway Family of all the players and coaches while also Dealerships with Kkevin Williams sponsoring the $10,000 half court shot promotion. In addition for the 32nd year they will award the Boys Most Valuable Player Award at the conclusion of the tournament.
Clearly one of the highlights of the Tipoff Brunch was the appearance of Alex Blackwell, one of the most celebrated players to ever come out of the shore area. Blackwell was a WOBM All-Tournament player as a sophomore and junior at Toms River North and would go on to set numerous records at Monmouth University. Following a short stint with the Los Angeles Lakers he would play 17 seasons of pro basketball overseas finishing up in Chile where he now coaches basketball. The 45-year old returned home for a visit with his wife and daughter in large part because of his induction into the Monmouth University Athletic Guest speaker Alex Blackwell Hall of Fame. Blackwell spoke the players about listening to their coaches and parents and said he doubted his ability as a teen-ager before realizing that basketball would be a large part of his future.
Williams announced this year’s recipients of the academic scholarship awards made possibly by Barnabas Health, who once again serves as presenting sponsor of the tournament. The awards are based on the academic performance of boys and girls who played in the 2014 WOBM CC and are now college freshman. They will receive their awards at halftime of the championship games on December 30th.

T he WOBM Christmas Classic lost one of its most familiar faces this year with the sudden passing of Robert “CZ”
In Memoriam Czarniewski in May.
Bob was the clock/scoreboard operator from the inaugural tournament in 1984 and worked every game played at Ocean County College and later inside the Pine Belt Arena. He never missed a game and was a tremendous asset, so much so that in 2000 we presented him with the “Jim Ruhnke Award” for his contributions to the tournament.
“CZ” spent more than 40 years teaching physical education at the Island Heights Grade School and in 2013 they dedicated the school gymnasium in his name. He not only loved that school but basketball and soccer as well and was a longtime soccer coach in Toms River.
While all of us associated with the WOBM Christmas Classic will miss him he will remain a part through a newly-created memorial award which will be presented annually to a female player who displays sportsmanship, dedication, determination and teamwork. The award will be sponsored by Dan & Kathy Czarniewski.
