2021 Sportsmanship Awards Program by Shore Sports Network Journal

DEAR SHORE CONFERENCE SPORTSMANSHIP WINNERS,

n behalf of the Shore Conference of High Schools we would like to congratulate you on your selection as a Sportsmanship Award winner from your high school. You have been chosen for this honor because of your hard work, exemplary leadership skills, respect for others…all while putting the needs of your teammates ahead of your own personal glory.

Sportsmanship Award Winners: • Set and model the behavior expected of your teammates and opponents on the field of play • Accept and understand the seriousness of responsibility, and the privilege of representing your school and community • Live up to the standards of sportsmanship established by the school administration and coaching staff Athletic Directors from the Shore Conference hold this award in high esteem and are very proud to honor you and your family today as you share in this achievement. Please continue your efforts to promote sportsmanship, not only on the playing fields but as you move on through life. Continue to display acts of playing fair, treating people with respect, behaving appropriately and being a positive role model as this will also help you achieve success in college and beyond. On behalf of the executive board and the athletic directors from all 48 schools that make up the Shore Conference, we congratulate you for this most distinguished award. Good luck in all your future endeavors and continue to lead by example. Yours truly,

Shore Conference Athletic Directors.

DEAR SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS,

or the second straight year we have been forced to proceed with this program without an awards presentation due to the pandemic and the restrictions that were in place during the planning process. While this is unfortunate it does not in any way take away from this truly great honor which has been bestowed on you by your school’s athletic department, administrators and coaches. The Class of 2021 will have memories to last a lifetime and sadly some of them are not good ones, especially for those who lost their spring season as juniors followed by a senior year filled with daily challenges. However the 94 of you being honored have answered those challenges in a way that inspired others and I hope earning this special Sportsmanship Award as your high school career comes to an end is one you will treasure. I have always felt strongly that competitive athletes like you should have mutual respect for your opponents because you know what it takes to be successful. While others are on the beach in the summer you were in the weight room, at the gym or playing in a summer league. When others go home after a day in school (even a virtual one) you hit the practice field/court/track/etc. and put in a couple of hours of work. You define what a true student-athlete is and while always striving to win understand that handling a loss is part of the process. Those involved in the selection for this award have been impressed with your ability to do that in the face of disappointment. You have also been cited as a positive role model for teammates, especially underclassmen and a leader who can be counted on in good times and bad. You are simply the person your school is proud to honor as their representative and in many ways exceeds what you have accomplished as an athlete. You have set a standard for others to follow, one that is not based on statistics but intangibles like leadership, understanding, responsibility and fairness. This is also a good time to offer congratulations to those who helped get you where you are today. Your parents and families certainly top that list but don’t forget the coaches who helped mold you into successful young men and women. It not only takes a village to raise a child but one to develop a successful student-athlete so make sure you take the time to thank all of those in your village. When you look back on your final year of high school, undoubtedly living and learning through a crisis will be something that will stand out. You will tell your children one day about what it was like and while there was plenty of sorrow you made it through these two years with flying colors which will help you navigate the challenges ahead. On behalf of all of us at the Shore Sports Network please accept my heartfelt congratulations on a job very well done and all the best in the future. Sincerely, Kevin Williams

MONMOUTH COUNTY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR arry Chebookjian

SHORE REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Harry Chebookjian

is in his 9th year as the Director of Athletics and prior to that was an assistant principal at the high school from 2008-2013.

Before coming to Shore Regional he was a Supervisor of Math and Technology at Raritan High School (2005-08) and spent 13 years at Red Bank Regional as a math teacher while also coaching football and serving as an Assistant Athletic Director during his tenure. Harry is currently the Chairman of the Shore Conference Sports Committees while also serving as a member of the Constitution, Officials, Diversity and Finance/Social Media committees. He is also the President-Elect of the Shore Conference of High Schools and will become President next July. Under his direction and guidance Shore Regional has earned three ShopRite Cups for having the best Group 1 athletic program in the state. In addition the Blue Devils have won 24 division championships, 33 sectional titles, 11 group championships and an NJSIAA Sportsmanship Award. Harry received an NJSIAA Service Award in 2017 for his contributions to athletics. A 1986 graduate of Red Bank Catholic where he earned three varsity letters in football, he continued his playing career at Fairleigh Dickinson University where he served as a team captain and was named to the 40th Anniversary Team. Harry stayed at FDU to collect a Masters of Art in Teaching and then earned a Master of Educational Leadership at Monmouth University. He lives in Wanamassa with his wife Lori and their three daughters; Arabella (16), Sofia (14) and Ava (13).

OCEAN COUNTY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR d Sarluca

BRICK MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL

ED SARLUCA

is in his 7th year as Athletic Director at Brick Memorial High School, where he has worked since 2008. During his time at the school he has been a physical education teacher, head boys basketball coach and assistant football and softball coach. Ed has worked in the Brick School District since 1999. Ed is very active with the Shore Conference of High Schools where he currently serves as the Chairman of the Sportsmanship Awards program, Student-Ambassador Co-Chairman, Co-Director of the Gymnastics Tournament and newly appointed Volleyball Committee chairman. A graduate of Brick Memorial where he collected six varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball, he earned a Bachelor’s of Science from Elon University and later his Masters of Educational Administration from Scranton University. He certainly comes from an “education family” as both his father and mother (Ed & Laura) taught for over 30 years and his sister (Maria Lupo) currently teaches at Brick Memorial. Among his many accolades was receiving the prestigious Jim Sullivan Award in 2019 from IABBO Shore Basketball Officials Board #194. That award is given to someone other than an official who has made a significant contribution to basketball in the Shore area. Ed lives in Toms River with his wife Maureen and their four children; Ella (14), Cara (13), Michael (10) and Joseph (7).
