Senior All-Star Game:

MVP Award Named After Art Harmon

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

F

or the fifth straight year, the Most Valuable Player Award in both the boys and girls Shore Basketball Coaches Association Senior All-Star Games will be named in honor of the late Art Harmon, a fixture as a Shore official for more than three decades.

Sponsoring the Art Harmon MVP Award at this year’s games will be Jersey Mike’s , who have been consistent supporters of high school athletics in the Shore Conference.

This year’s games will be at 6 p.m. (girls) and 7:45 p.m. (boys) at Wall Township High School.

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, Harmon was a health and physical education teacher who also served a stint as the school’s athletic director. He also was a coach in baseball, soccer, swimming and gymnastics. In the summer, he was a fixture on the Jersey Shore as a lifeguard for more than 40 years.

“It’s been humbling in a way,’’ Matt Harmon

/

said. “We didn’t ask any of these people to do these awards, so them coming to us makes it even more special. We weren’t prodding people to do it. They just want to do it because they know what kind of man he was and how important he was to people.’’

Marina Mabrey Pours in 36 Points to Lead Manasquan to the Tournament of Champions Title

A

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

valiant effort by St. Rose, a seesaw game that came down to the final minute on Monday night, it was all a prelude to a simple, immutable fact: Marina Mabrey was not going to be denied an NJSIAA Tournament of Champions title.

The Notre Dame-bound Manasquan senior capped a legendary high school career by scoring the final 13 points of the game for the Warriors to finish with 36 points along with 12 rebounds that powered a thrilling 59-55 victory over the Purple Roses at Sun National Bank Center. In the final 20 seconds of the game, the McDonald’s All-American and Gatorade New Jersey Player of the Year came up with a huge block on defense with her team leading by two points and then iced the win with a pair of free throws with 19 seconds remaining that made it a two-possession game.

That completed a 26-point second half for a player who finished with more than 2,500 career points and won her second TOC title after being part of the 2012 title team as a freshman that starred her older sister, current Notre Dame junior guard Michaela Mabrey.

“We accomplished our goal, so I don’t have to say we tried our best, this and that,” Mabrey said. “We did it. We got where we wanted to get.

“My thought was that if we held her under 30, we’d be OK, so we were off by six and we lost by four,” St. Rose coach Joe Whalen said.

Manasquan (29-4) defeated St. Rose (32-2) for the second time in three meetings this season and became the first girls public school program from the Shore Conference to win multiple TOC titles.The Warriors also became the only other girls public school program in state history to win more than one TOC title besides Shabazz, the team that beat them in last season’s final and left them hungry to finish the job for their second TOC title in program history.

“It’s amazing that we got this far, and I’m just excited how hard everyone played,” said senior guard Courtney Hagaman, who had a crucial steal down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

Mabrey was a driving force, declaring from the preseason that it was a TOC title or bust.

“I could put that much pressure on them because they could handle it,” Mabrey said.

“I think that obviously she had the expectation, and I don’t think it was just her,” Manasquan coach Lisa Kukoda said. “I think all of them, after losing in this game last year, being in that we were up here talking, Shabazz was watching us, I think that we kind of left last season with a little bit of a sour taste in our mouth. I think everybody had that mentality, and she just really pushed it out of everybody and was kind of the driving force behind the season.

I think it raised everybody to the next level.”

Mabrey set the stage for her fourth-quarter heroics by ending the third quarter with a stepback 3-pointer at the buzzer that cut St. Rose’s lead to 4240.

“I knew we needed something to get our momentum going,” she said. “I told them that we’re going to finish this third quarter up, and we’re going to get there. We’re going to catch up to them, and then we’re going to put them away.”

A pair of free throws by sophomore guard Stella Clark (7 points) tied the

18

game at 42 eight seconds into the fourth quarter, setting up a furious finish. A basket in the lane by Mabrey’s younger sister, freshman Dara Mabrey, helped the Warriors inch out to a 46-42 lead, but St. Rose senior Jess Louro, who concluded her own brilliant career with 20 points and seven rebounds, buried a 3-pointer to bring it back to a one-point game.

Louro then made a steal and took it in for a lay-up to give St. Rose a 47-46 lead, which they maintained until Mabrey scored and was fouled to swing it back in Manasquan’s favor at 50-49 with 3:17 to go. A 3-point play by Mabrey made it a two-possession game at 53-49, but once again, St. Rose was not going down without a fight. Louro’s younger sister, sophomore Jen Louro, nailed a 3-pointer to cut the lead to a point as part of a 14-point night on 5-for-6 shooting.

Manasquan responded with a pair of free throws by Mabrey, but Jess Louro then had the crowd roaring when she splashed in a 3-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game at 55 with 1:20 remaining. The Warriors quickly regrouped, executing their ensuing offensive set to get what proved to be the game-winning lay-up by Mabrey off a dish by sophomore center Victoria Galvin on a backdoor cut with 50 seconds left in the game.

“I think that there wasn’t that panic..and I think that’s why we were able to execute,” Kukoda said. “I think that’s that mental toughness that I was referring to. We were able to move on, next play and just run and execute what we wanted to.”

St. Rose had a chance to tie or take the lead, but Mabrey would not let it happen. Purple Roses’ senior guard Kat Phipps got separation on her defender on a screen by Marsicano and got into the lane, but Mabrey came over on a rotation and stuck out her left arm to block her shot before corralling the loose ball. That led to a pair of free throws that she buried with 19 seconds to go that sealed the victory. The block was a potentially risky play because Phipps is automatic at the foul line, but Mabrey pulled it off.

“I wasn’t really thinking about it,” Mabrey said about the block. “I just saw, ‘Oh I’m there, she’s about to shoot it, so my hand, I’m putting it up and hopefully I get it.”

“Luckily her instincts benefit us,” Kukoda said. “I don’t think there’s a lot of thought at times. A lot of times it’s instinct.”

After losing 69-60 to Manasquan in a Shore Conference Tournament final that the Warriors controlled most of the way, St. Rose came back with a gameplan that sent the game down to the wire. Whalen took 6-foot freshman Elizabeth Marsicano and had her run the point at times and play on the perimeter in order to bring Galvan out of the paint to have to guard her, which opened up driving lanes. Marsicano was outstanding on the big stage with 11 points and five assists.

“We didn’t ask her, we told her,” Whalen joked about the adjustment. “She did a great job, and we knew she was capable of that.”

game. I think we did a good job of it down the stretch when we needed to.”

St. Rose led 27-25 at the half thanks to nine points by Jen Louro and eight apiece by Jess Louro and Phipps. The Purple Roses held Manasquan to 11for-32 shooting before the break, including 1-for-11 from 3-point range, with the lone 3-pointer coming when Clark nailed one from long range with two seconds left in the half.

The Warriors regrouped in the third quarter to keep it close, but St. Rose maintained the lead throughout the period thanks to the play of Marsicano, who had seven points in the third. However, Manasquan stuck with it, as Dara Mabrey helped hold St. Rose’s leading scorer, Phipps, scoreless in the second half, and Marina Mabrey delivered one of the all-time closing fourth quarters in TOC final history to bring it home against a St. Rose team that has become a fierce rival in recent seasons.

“It’s really dirty, it’s really nasty, it’s really emotional,” Mabrey said about playing St. Rose. “It’s really the team that can stay mentally with it.”

Manasquan separated itself as one of only three Shore Conference teams along with St. John Vianney and Red Bank Catholic to win multiple TOC titles.

Mabrey also put herself right in the discussion among the best players in Shore Conference history. After a TOC semifinal win over Franklin, she all but guaranteed a victory, and she backed it up on Monday night with one of the best performances in a final since the TOC’s inception in 1989.

“We were going to back it up,” she said. “It was coming. I know the first half it seemed like we were going to really not get there, but we got there. I kept telling them, there’s 1:08 left, there’s 49 seconds left, there’s 49.8 seocnds left, and we’re going to stick with it, and we’re going to win this. I promise we’re going to win this.”

“We knew that they were going to do something,” Kukoda said. “It was just a matter of what it was going to be. It definitely threw us for a loop, and we had to adjust. I think that we were able to, and when we D’ed it up the way that we wanted to and got the rotations that we needed, we got the deflections and the steals.

“It definitely pulled Victoria out a little bit, out the paint where she’s normally comfortable. She’s not used to getting through screens – normally she’s helping on the screens. We definitely had to make the adjustment in the

Another Banner Season of Shore Conference Basketball

I

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

t was another championship season of Shore Conference basketball, as the boys and girls combined to win eight NJSIAA sectional titles and the girls accounted for three of the four Tournament of Champions semifinalists and both of the teams in the TOC final.

On the boys side, Christian Brothers Academy, Shore Regional and Manasquan each won sectional championships, and RumsonFair Haven made history with a Shore Conference Tournament title.

The Colts took home the Non-Public South A title for the first time since 2009 by upsetting a St. Augustine team that only had one loss entering the game and had not lost to a New Jersey opponent all season. Senior Jack Laffey exploded for a career-high 38 points and junior Pat Andree added 28 in a shooting performance for the ages as the two combined to go 21-for-26 from the field and 11-for-12 from 3-point range. The Colts then fell to Tournament of Champions finalist Pope John XXIII in the Non-Public A final. During the regular season, Andree became the first junior in CBA history to reach 1,000 career points since Colts’ all-time leading scorer Bob Roma in 1974.

Shore Regional knocked off two-time defending champion Point Beach in Central Jersey Group I behind 28 points from senior Dan Largey to capture its first NJSIAA sectional title since 1967. The Blue Devils then fell to eventual Group I champion and TOC semifinalist Paulsboro in a one-point loss in the Group I semifinals. Largey set the single-season school record for points and was one of two 1,000-point scorers for Shore along with fellow senior Kevin Bloodgood.

Rumson-Fair Haven made history by taking home its first SCT crown with a stunning 50-24 win over CBA in the championship game at Monmouth University. Appearing in just their second SCT final in history, the Bulldogs held the Colts to the lowest points by any team in the SCT final since 1938. Junior guard Brendan Barry singlehandedly outscored CBA with 27 points, 25 of which came in the second half, when the Bulldogs held the Colts to five total points.

Barry also passed the 1,000-point mark as a junior for Rumson, which won a share of the Class A Central crown.

Rumson-Fair Haven captured its first Shore Conference Tournament title.

being denied its first sectional championship in a loss to Hillsborough.

It was a tremendous season in Class A Central, as Shore Regional, Rumson-Fair Haven and Manasquan not only tied each other for the division crown but also each won an additional tournament championship. Toms River North won its second Class A South title in the last two seasons, took home the WOBM Christmas Classic title and reached the SCT semifinals.

CBA celebrated its first sectional title since 2009 after a thriller against St. Augustine Prep

Manasquan brought home its first Central Jersey Group II title since 2009 with a victory on its home floor over a redhot Bordentown team that had gone on the road and eliminated Lakewood and Rumson-Fair Haven in the earlier rounds. Senior forward Kyle Bradshaw led the way with 23 points and 10 rebounds

In the divisional races, CBA repeated as the overall Class A North champion, with Freehold Township taking the public title. Freehold Township also reached the Central Jersey Group IV final before

Wall ended the longest drought of any division champion this season, as the Crimson Knights captured the Class B North crown for their first division title since 1992 and their first outright division crown since the 1973-74 season. They did it in thrilling fashion in one of the best games of the season as they outlasted Colts Neck 76-75 in triple overtime behind a career-high 37 points by senior guard Brendan Barcas, who scored the game-winning basket with 0.5 seconds left. Another B North team, Neptune, made a run to the SCT semifinals in its first season under coach Joe Fagan.

In Class B Central, defending champion Point Beach shared the overall crown with St. Rose, which ended a 39-game divisional winning streak by the Garnet Gulls to grab a piece of the title.

Lakewood continued its dominance of Class B South, as the Piners repeated as division champions and went unbeaten in the division for the second straight season.

On the girls side, it was one of the most dominant seasons by any single conference in New Jersey history. The Shore won four Group titles out of a possible six, and three of the four TOC semifinalists were St. John Vianney, Manasquan and St. Rose, with Manasquan and St. Rose playing each other for the TOC title.

The nationally-ranked Warriors repeated as Group II and Shore Conference Tournament champions behind Notre Dame-bound senior Marina Mabrey, a McDonald’s All-American and the Gatorade New Jersey Player of the Year. They knocked off St. Rose 69-60 in the SCT final after losing to the Purple Roses during the regular season, as Mabrey poured in 29 points to give Manasquan back-to-back SCT titles for the first time in history.

St. Rose repeated as Non-Public B champions thanks to 25 points by senior Kat Phipps and 15 by senior Jess Louro in a win over Lodi Immaculate. The Purple Roses also advanced to their first TOC final in history thanks to a comeback victory over St. John Vianney in the semifinals keyed by 17 points from Louro and a clutch

victory during the WOBM Christmas Classic in December, and Karcz passed the 1,000-point mark as a junior.

3-pointer late in the game by freshman guard Makayla Markham.

St. John Vianney won a record-16th state title with a thrilling second-half rally to take down defending champion Immaculate Heart Academy in the NonPublic A championship game behind 12 points from junior Kelly Campbell and 10 points and 10 rebounds

Middletown South Wins First Group III Title by center Kim Evans.

St. John Vianney rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit to win its first Non-Public A title since 2011

It was the best season in program history for Middletown South under veteran coach Tom Brennan, as the Eagles won their first Group III title and reached their first TOC with a 50-42 win over Old Tappan. Junior Stephanie Karcz had 16 points and 16 rebounds in the historic victory, which came two games after the Eagles repeated as Central Jersey Group III champions.

They also reached the SCT semifinals before falling to St. Rose, and they repeated as Class A North champions.

Brennan also picked up his 300th career

In the other divisional races, Manasquan and St. John Vianney shared the overall Class A Central crown after splitting their two regular-season games.

Southern took home the Class A South title behind divisional Player of the Year Tierney Goetz under firstyear coach Tom Bucci, one season after the tragic death of Rams’ Hall of Fame coach Kathy Snyder.

In Class B North, Red Bank Catholic and Neptune shared the overall title, and Neptune also reached the Central Jersey Group III final for the second straight season before falling to Middletown South. St. Rose continued its domination of Class B Central with another unbeaten season in divisional play, while Donovan Catholic took home the Class B South crown behind 1,000-point scorer Chelsea Crowe
