Head Coach - John Wagner, Point Pleasant Beach
In only two seasons at Point Beach, Wagner has led the Garnet Gulls to unprecedented heights following a Hall of Fame stint as the head coach at Roselle Park from 1981-2005. In the 2012 season, Point Beach set the single-season school record for wins in finishing 10-1 and became the first team in school history to start 10-0. The Garnet Gulls also won the Class B Central crown for their first division title since 1997. In addition, they won a state playoff game for the second straight season after having only won one NJSIAA playoff game in program history before Wagner’s arrival. In his first season in 2011, Point Beach tied the existing school record of eight wins and won its first state playoff game since 1982. The Garnet Gulls also produced the Shore Conference’s leading rusher, senior Danny Tighe, who rolled up a school-record 1,569 yards and 25 touchdowns in Point Beach’s Wing-T offense. Point Beach has gone 18-4 in two seasons under Wagner after not having had a winning season since 1997. During his time at Roselle Park, Wagner’s teams went 150-92-2, including a pair of 11-0 seasons and NJSIAA North Jersey II Group I titles in 1992 and 1993. The Panthers also won nine Mountain Valley Conference division titles and made nine state playoff appearances overall. Wagner has already been inducted into the NJSIAA Hall of Fame as well as the New Jersey Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He began his coaching career as an assistant at Roselle Park for five years before getting the head job. He also was a highly-successful softball coach there for 17 years and served as the athletic director. Wagner is a 1969 graduate of Roselle Park, where he played center and defensive end under the late Joe Gardi, who went on to be a defensive coordinator for the New York Jets in the 1980s and the head coach at Hofstra University in the 1990s. Wagner played baseball at Kean University, where he graduated in 1975.
