Coaches of the Year Shore Coaches Poll
Coaches of the Year
By Matt Manley – Senior Staff Editor
Girls Shore Coach of The Year
Lisa Kukoda – Manasquan
I
t took Manasquan coach Lisa Kukoda all of three seasons to turn Manasquan from a rebuilding project to a two-time Shore Conference champion and NJSIAA Tournament of Champions winner and she did it as a first-time head coach who still has not celebrated her 30th birthday.
So how did the Warriors head coach top last year’s job on the sideline and become this year’s Shore Conference Coaches’ Coach of the Year? By skipping the rebuilding portion of this year’s rebuilding project. With no seniors in this year’s
starting lineup and McDonald’s All-American Marina Mabrey off to begin her college career at Notre Dame, Manasquan barely missed a beat, reaching the finals of both the Shore Conference Tournament and Tournament of Champions for the third straight year. Only a seniorladen St. John Vianney team that went 31-1 and did not lose to a single opponent from the state of N.J. this year stopped Manasquan from winning both titles. Despite coming up shy of a third straight Shore Conference title and second straight Tournament of Champions title, the Warriors turned in an effort that is likely to land them the No. 2 spot in the statewide rankings to end the year and also land them the preseason No. 1 ranking next year. They finished the year 28-7, with four of those losses coming against St. John Vianney. Manasquan entered the Shore Conference Tournament as the No. 3 seed and took down No. 2 Rumson-Fair Haven in overtime to earn a spot in the championship game for the third consecutive season. The Warriors again saw Rumson in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II final and scored a resounding 56-30 over a perennial contender in the section.
The second tournament win over Rumson clinched a third straight Central Jersey Group II title and precluded a third straight Group II title under Kukoda. The Warriors survived a 47-42 battle against Sterling in the
Group II semifinal before routing High Point in the Group II championship game.
Manasquan then showed its meddle in two T of C wins, closing a 57-49 win over University with a 15-0 run to escape the first round and then knocking off second-seeded Rutgers Prep, 59-50, in the semifinals.
Although the Warriors fell short of a third straight SCT title and second straight T of C title, they return all five starters – juniors Stella Clark and Addie Masonius, sophomores Dara Mabrey and Carly Geissler, and freshman Faith Masonius – as well as sophomore Nikki Stevens, who was the first player off the bench.
The Warriors also had the season they did despite the loss of senior Gillian Black and junior Victoria Galvan – both of whom missed the entire season because of a torn ACL. Galvan was a starter on the 2015 T of C title team and is also slated to return to Manasquan’s loaded lineup next year. Prior to becoming the coach of the Warriors, Kukoda went by Lisa Kuchinski and was an assistant at Red Bank Catholic under Joe Montano. Kukoda starred for the Caseys before graduating in 2004 and moving on to play at Manhattan College.
Boys Shore Coach of The Year Andrew Bilodeau – Manasquan
I
n an increasingly challenging landscape for public schools in the Shore Conference, the Manasquan boys basketball team has remained a consistent force, both in the public ranks and overall within the conference.
This past year, head coach Andrew Bilodeau guided the Warriors to the top public school ranking in the Shore Conference – No. 3 overall at the Shore – and for his efforts, he was named by the Shore Conference Coaches the 2015-16 Coach of the Year.
The Warriors returned the experienced senior duo of 6-foot-4-inch forward Ryan Jensen and point guard Jack Sheehan – both of whom are three-year starters, with Jensen playing significant minutes as a freshman
8
as well. With younger brothers Devin Jensen and Tommy Sheehan – both juniors – returning to the rotation as well, the Warriors entered the 2015-16 season with high expectations.
With high goals coming into the year, Manasquan went 24-4, winning the Shore Conference Class A Central title by outlasting defending Shore Conference Tournament champion Rumson-Fair Haven. The Warriors also reached the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals and the championship game of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II sectional playoffs. The team’s two defining wins of the season both came against aforementioned Rumson – once in the Shore Conference Tournament and again in the Central Jersey Group II semifinals. The Warriors pulled out an 80-77, triple-overtime thriller in the Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinals and followed that up with a resounding 65-46 victory over the Bulldogs in the state tournament. Manasquan would fall to Christian Brothers
Academy in the SCT semifinals and later to Bordentown in the Central Jersey II championship game after battling back from a double-digit deficit to pull within three points with a chance to tie the game in the final minute. Bilodeau completed his eighth season with the Warriors, during which time he has led the program to two Central Jersey Group II championships, six division titles and four Shore Conference Tournament final fours. Prior to taking over at Manasquan, Bilodeau made successful head coaching stops at Manchester and Toms River North.

Senior All-Star Game: MVP Award Honoring Art Harmon
F
or the sixth straight year, the Most Valuable Player Award in both the boys and girls Shore Basketball Coaches Association Senior All-Star Games will honor the late Art Harmon, a fixture as a Shore official for more than three decades.

This year’s games will be at 6 p.m. (girls) and 7:45 p.m. (boys) at the Pine Belt Arena Toms River.
Harmon passed away at 63 years old on Oct. 25, 2009, after a long career in scholastic athletics. He was a 40-year member of the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials Shore Board 194, and also was a member of the Shore Soccer Officials Association for more than 20 years. He also was a long-time secretary-treasurer of the Shore board of basketball officials even after injuries had prevented him from being able to officiate games.
“The game of basketball meant a lot to him, so anytime

anyone does anything to recognize him is tremendous,’’ said Harmon’s son, Matt, who many Shore fans know for his award-winning work as a broadcaster for Monmouth University and The Shore Sports Network. “He hadn’t been reffing games for a long time but he was still the secretary-treasurer of the Shore board for a long time because he loved it.” During his 36 years at Rumson-Fair Haven High School,

Worth the Wait: Vianney Beats Manasquan in Double OT to Win T of C
T
By Matt Manley – Senior Staff Editor
he road to an NJSIAA Tournament of Champions title has been a long one for the St. John Vianney girls basketball seniors, littered with a number of tough losses along the way. If the journey to the top spot in N.J. lasted two overtimes longer than it was supposed to, the Lancers seniors were willing to go the extra distance.
That long journey ended Monday at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton the way it always does for the greatest of girls teams at St. John Vianney High School: with a Tournament of Champions title.
The Lady Lancers recovered from a fourth-quarter Manasquan rally and multiple overtime deficits to beat the defending champion Warriors for the fourth time this year, 65-58 in double overtime, to capture a record seventh Tournament of Champions crown and first since 2009. Monday’s double-overtime triumph caps a 31-1 season for St. John Vianney that ended a relatively lengthy drought without any postseason titles. The Lancers won the Shore Conference Tournament title for the first time in 10 years by beating Manasquan on Feb. 27 and the seven years between T of C titles is the second-longest drought for Vianney – which ended a 10-year drought when it won the 2009 title.
“These players have been here for three and four years and have been building towards this,” St. John Vianney coach Dawn Karpell said. “If you go back to earlier years, when they were younger, we were terrible in overtime. Before the game, our message was ‘We are so prepared for any situation that is going to arise.’
“Obviously, we didn’t want the situation to unfold that way, but mentally, we’ve been tested and there was no way we going to give it up that easily. That’s what shined through.”
Kelly Campbell led the senior effort Monday with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists to cap her standout four-year varsity career. The 6-foot point guard and DePaul University recruit buried 14 of her 18 free-throw attempts for the game and shot 13-for-16 in the fourth quarter and two overtime periods – including converting her final eight attempts to put the game on ice.
Fellow seniors Vanessa Pinho, Zoe Pero, Gigi Caponegro and Tina Lebron all added significant
18
contributions along the way for St. John Vianney to secure the championship. Pinho scored 10 points to go with her defense against Manasquan junior guard Stella Clark, which included a key steal and layup to give the Warriors a 39-32 lead with 4:14 left to play.
answered with two foul shots to stretch the lead back to 48-45 with 44 seconds left.
After working the clock down 20 seconds, sophomore Carly Geissler found Masonius for a lay-in that cut Vianney’s lead back to one with 16 seconds left. The Warriors caught a break on the other end when Campbell missed the first of two free throws before converting the second and giving the Lancers a 49-47 lead.
Lebron, meanwhile, hit two first-half threes and capped the scoring with a free throw in the second overtime. Pero added eight points off the bench before fouling out – six of which came in the first half. Caponegro scored only two points but they came on the biggest field goal of the game. The senior forward drilled an 18-footer seven seconds into overtime, which gave the Lancers the lead for good.
“The fact that Gigi stepped up and hit that huge jump shot gave us a lift because we got that scoring from somebody else on the floor,” Karpell said. “We didn’t give up the lead after that, so I think that she had the confidence to hit that shot was really important for the momentum.”
With her team’s season on the line, Masonius again delivered, securing the ball after Caponegro blocked a shot by Mabrey and putting it up for the tying score with 4.6 seconds left.
The Lancers appeared poised to put Manasquan away just as they did on Feb. 27 when they won 59-48 at Monmouth, but the Warriors – which did not Campbell dribbled play a senior on SJV’s Kelly Campbell goes up for two against the ball from threeMonday night – Manasquan's Dara Mabrey quarters court and put came storming up a runner in the lane back after before the final buzzer Pinho’s steal and layup extended the lead sounded, but the shot hit the back rim and bounded away to send the to seven midway through the fourth. game into overtime. Freshman Faith Masonius led the Manasquan comeback by scoring 13 of her game-high 27 points in the final 3:50 of the fourth quarter. Nine of those points came on conventional three-point plays – including one that pulled Manasquan even at 43 with 1:33 left. “She’s just a tough matchup athletically,” Karpell said of Masonius. “We put Kimi (Evans) on her early and she stepped out and hit a jumper. We switched Gigi on her and she used her size advantage. I think they did a good job of isolating her and our help wasn’t getting to her in time. She also finished every opportunity, so she did her part too.”
Pinho came back with two free throws with 1:13 remaining to give Vianney a two-point lead. Manasquan then turned the ball over on a five-second call out of a timeout and sophomore Julia Ramos knocked down the second of two free throws with 57 seconds left to make it 46-43. Manasquan sophomore Dara Mabrey drove the lane for a layup that pulled the Warriors within a point and Campbell

“We were a little shocked, but we know Manasquan’s a team that goes on big runs and inches their way back in so we weren’t too surprised, even though we didn’t want it to happen,” Campbell said. “We figured they would make a run.”
“I kept joking with my seniors that they just wanted to stay with me that much longer,” Karpell joked. “They just didn’t want to leave

so that was, in fact, why it went to two overtimes.”
Masonius and Lancers junior Kimi Evans (11 points and six rebounds) traded baskets to open the overtime session and junior Addie Masonius found her younger sister for another lay-in that gave Manasquan a 53-51 lead. Evans hit one of two free throws on the other end and after a defensive stand, Campbell hit one of two to even the score at 53 with 1:27 left. The two teams played to a stalemate for the remainder of the period, with Campbell dribbling out most of the final 45 seconds before forcing up a shot to end the first overtime.
Caponegro’s jumper from the left wing represented the first two of five straight Lancers points to start the second overtime. The Warriors faced an uphill climb with Mabrey on the bench having fouled out in
“They were trapping and running all kinds of different things at us,” Karpell said. “We were trying to get the ball down low to Kimi, but we really weren’t getting good looks like we did in the first half. They did an excellent job in the third into the early fourth quarter before we obviously found enough to get us to overtime. Once we were in overtime, I thought we ran our offense a little better.”
The Warriors will return their entire rotation next season and also expect to get junior center Victoria Galvan back as a senior after the 6-foot-2 center missed this season with a torn ACL. Manasquan’s T of C championship game appearance was its third in a row and fourth in the last five years, two of which ended in championship victories.
“All year, we’ve said we’re not using our youth as an excuse to call this year a rebuilding year,” Manasquan coach Lisa Kukoda said. “I think that it sits with us the same. It hurts because we knew that we could have done some things better.
“It obviously gives us a lot to look forward to going into next year, but we’ve got to be ready because the expectations are going to be on us next year.”
Monday marked the second time the two Shore Conference Class A Central rivals went to overtime this season and the third time they played a game decided by a single-digit margin.

the first overtime period, but still managed to pull within 60-58 of Vianney on a three from the top of the key by Faith Masonius. Manasquan could not, however, get the ball back within one score thanks to Campbell’s eight straight makes from the line.
St. John Vianney has never won the T of C with an unbeaten record, so this year’s one-loss championship season will go down as arguably the best of the seven Lancers championships. The Lancers, were, however, unbeaten within N.J., with their only loss coming against Villa Maria Academy of Erie, Pa. in triple overtime. Karpell played on the 1993 and 1995 championship teams at Vianney and after watching this group build to its one-loss championship season, the 10-year head coach puts this team up there with the best Vianney has had to offer.
After staring down the possibility of another defeat while knowing this was the final game they would play together, St. John Vianney’s senior-dominated team pulled it together to win their championship.
“We knew we just had to complete the business that we started this season,” Pinho said. “Coming into this game, we said, ‘No matter if we have to go to overtime like we did or fourth quarters, we’re going to win this game. We had to play with our heart and guts and that’s exactly what we did and we came out on top.”
“You’ve got to establish your goals if you want to achieve them. We had a big heart-to-heart at the end of last season because I think they were almost afraid to say it out loud because if you fall short then it’s a problem,” Karpell said. “This year, there was no doubt about what those goals were.
In addition to her 27 points, Masonius grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Warriors. Mabrey scored 10 points before fouling out and Clark poured in eight of her 13 before halftime while also handing out five assists and notching three steals. Addie Masonius and Geissler also finished with five assists each.
St. John Vianney took a 32-24 lead to the halftime locker room behind an balanced offensive effort, but Manasquan stayed within striking distance by turning the game into a defensive battle in the third – one that saw the Warriors outscore the Lancers 5-3.

“They will look back on this and understand when the T

of C banner goes up in the gym, they are going to be in the conversation with some of the greatest teams to come out of St. John Vianney. Without a doubt: they are going to be in the conversation.”
Six seniors – Campbell, Pinho, Caponegro, Lebron, Pero and Megan Furch – will graduate at the end of the school year, as will Kellie Crouch, who missed nearly the entire season with a stress fracture in her foot after starting last year as a junior.
“We all grew up together, we all played AAU together, we all decided to go to high school together,” Pero said. “I think a big part of it, especially as seniors was that we’ve been with each other since fifth or sixth grade.”
“Freshman year, we had eleven losses,” Campbell said. “We always talk about how we started from the bottom, and it’s kind of true. We spend every day, three or four hours a day together, we all hang out on the weekends. We’re more like a family than any team I’ve ever been a part of. We’re like sisters.”
In a fitting tribute to the senior class, Karpell – with Pero fouled out of the game – ran Furch into the game for the final seconds to give the Lancers an all-senior lineup on the floor as the final buzzer sounded.
Just as they did following Karpell’s first ever Shore Conference Tournament championship victory, her seniors made sure to find pay her back with a group hug.
“From a personal perspective, a lot of the players I played with were here tonight,” Karpell said. “We had alumni all over the place and it’s because we always want to keep that tradition going. These kids here are such pillars of what being a Lady Lancer basketball player is.”
