Football: Class C Central Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Is this Wall’s year?

The Crimson Knights stuck several of their current seniors into the starting lineup during their sophomore season in hopes of peaking this year. Led by quarterback Steve Cluley, lineman Matt Pisarcik and tight end Derek Gardner, the Crimson Knights have the talent to win their first division crown since 2007.

To do so, the defense will have to be more productive offensively against high-caliber teams.

They won seven straight last season by blowing out a group of teams that was primarily .500 or below, but struggled to score against tough defenses like Middletown South, Manasquan and Lacey. Cluley will also have to find a new No. 1 target after the graduation of explosive wideout Kyle Janeczek.

The running game sputtered at times last season, forcing Wall to become one-dimensional behind Cluley. If the Crimson Knights can find some balance

this season, they have a legitimate shot to win a division title and make a run at their first NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III crown since 2002.

Can M an as q u a n r etu r n to th e to p in Cen tr al J er s ey G r ou p I I ?

Manasquan is the defending division champion, and just like last season, its Thanksgiving game with Wall could once again decide the title. For the Warriors, though, the goal is always to play 12 games.

Now under new head coach Jay Price, a former assistant, the Warriors should be right in the hunt to unseat Rumson-Fair Haven as the CJ II champion after losing to Matawan in last year’s semifinals. A crucial factor could be the play of senior quarterback Tyler Saito, who is coming off an elbow injury from baseball that has lingered through the summer. Saito was erratic as a junior, forcing the Warriors to rely heavily on

Wall's Derek Gardner

now-graduated tailback Tariq Turner.

If Saito can turn the passing game into a strength, the Warriors should have good balance with Kodie McNamara and others returning the backfield. The injury bug has also hit them hard in the preseason and early in the regular season in the last two years, so that is something they hope to avoid. Given what they have returning, the Warriors have a legitimate shot to add to their Shore Conference-record 11 sectional titles if everything comes together.

Will Point Boro vault back into contention?

After a turbulent year in which head coach Calvin Thompson resigned in the middle of the season, the Panthers enter under new coach Sean Henry with some stability after Henry took over midway through 2010.

The Panthers have had poor starts in each of the past two seasons, so getting out of the gate strong is critical. With seniors John Dunbar and Chuckie Krohn in the backfield, the Panthers have potential to boost the offense this season. Henry is a triple option disciple of former Point Boro offensive coordinator Walt Currie, now the highly successful coach at Brick Memorial, so an offseason with Henry can only help the Panthers be more dynamic this season.

What about the rest of the division?

Jackson Liberty showed its capability to surprise last season when it stunned Wall early on, but the Lions could not stay in the division race until the end. They have to replace most of their skill players offensively, but do have a good building block on defense in senior defensive tackle Remy Martin.

Monsignor Donovan is coming off a 2-8 season in which it struggled to put up points against quality opponents after being one of the Shore’s most prolific offenses in 2009. The Griffins will have to find a way to score on the Manasquans, Walls and Point Boros of the world or they will be looking up in the standings again.

Legendary coach Warren Wolf retired after one season at Lakewood in which he led the Piners to a 3-7 record after helping them break a 33-game losing streak. New head coach L.J. Clark, a former assistant, inherits a team that lost stars like Da’Quan Kenney and 1,000-yard rusher Ahmier Dupree to graduation but still has some quality pieces in junior quarterback Tyrice Beverette and an offensive line with experience.

Football: Class A North Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Can defending champion Manalapan withstand heavy graduation losses?

The Braves won their first outright division title since 1996 last season, then watched nearly their entire lineup graduate, including Rutgers freshman quarterback Mike Bimonte and the All Shore Media Offensive Player of the Year, running back Josh Firkser.

However, the cupboard is not completely bare by any means. The Braves return talented linebackers John Sieczkowski and Alex McPherson and a potential standout two-way lineman in junior John Appice. Plus, the Firkser well is not dry yet, as junior Anthony Firkser showed star potential as a wide receiver as a sophomore. Plus, there’s always the theory that there are plenty more talented players who were just stuck behind senior standouts last year.

This program has become established enough that it cannot be discounted in its bid to repeat despite the major losses.

Can Howell find enough defense to go with its high-scoring offense?

Senior quarterback Ryan Davies set the Shore Conference single-season record for passing yards and touchdowns last season, yet it only resulted in a 6-4 campaign, albeit one that did include a state playoff berth.

Where Howell struggled was stopping opposing

running games that were able to limit the Rebels’ time of possession on offense and score at will.

Manalapan’s Josh Firsker scored 10 touchdowns in two wins over Howell, while Middletown South and East Brunswick also controlled the clock with their running games in victories over the Rebels.

losses, this might be their biggest challenge in nearly a decade.

Perhaps the Howell offense will be so prolific that it won’t matter, but it’s hard to win games deep into the season if you can’t stop the run. The Rebels have some size up front on defense and some good athletes, so it’s just a matter of executing the gameplan.

What about the rest of the division?

Will M idd letown S o u th co n tin u e its in cr edib le r u n ?

The Eagles have reached the state finals in nine of the last 10 seasons, which is a remarkable run given some of the talent they lost to graduation over the years. This season’s group is relatively unheralded and under the radar, but has what it takes to make a run at the division title and its customary spot in the Central Jersey Group III championship game.

Middletown South has lost three straight CJ III finals with teams that have received more preseason attention than this one, so it would only be fitting if this group was the one to get over the hump. The Eagles graduated nearly all of their skill players, so it will be up to senior quarterback Howie Brey to lead the newcomers and build a productive unit. While this program and its coaching staff have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to overcoming graduation

Middletown North and Manalapan's Anthony Firkser Freehold Township will need to find a way to score more points against quality teams if they are going to surprise.

Freehold Township battled defensively but took awhile to absorb the triple option under new head coach Mike D’Antonio before looking better toward the end of the season.

Marlboro had its best season in years, going 4-6, but nearly the entire starting lineup has graduated. It will be up to the Mustangs to show they are building a program and that last year was not a blip on the radar.

Football: Class A Central Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Will Rumson-Fair Haven seize the division title?

The Bulldogs are coming off their first NJSIAA sectional title in program history after stunning Matawan in Central Jersey Group II, but finished second behind the Huskies in the divisional race last season. While Matawan lost a ton of firepower to graduation, Rumson returns a defense that could be among the Shore Conference’s best and looks to make the Bulldogs the Class A Central favorite.

Matawan may again be Rumson’s main obstacle because the Huskies do return some talented skill players in sophomore quarterback Kashaun Barnes and senior running back Cassius Williams. They also will have transfer Larry Alston III, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound athlete who can play multiple positions.

Plus, the Huskies will have no shortage of motivation for that game.

Rumson may have to rely on its defense early on while the newcomers on offense get acclimated, so the time to get the Bulldogs may be early in the season. “The Battle of Ridge Road’’ at rival Red Bank Regional on Sept. 24 followed by a game against Matawan looks to be the definitive stretch for the Bulldogs, but don’t overlook an Oct. 21 date with a Raritan team that always plays Rumson tough.

Can Red Bank Regional return to glory?

The Bucs have worked hard to pull themselves out of the abyss after going 3-27 from 2006-2008, improving to 4-6 last season under head coach Nick

Giglio and beating Long Branch on Thanksgiving for the first time since 2003.

The current junior class has developed buzz since it was at the youth levels and now the payoff may come in a run at a division title. Junior defensive end Garrett Sickels projects to be one of the top recruits in the Northeast and probably the nation by the time he is a senior, while Dillon Stambaugh led the team in tackles at linebacker as a sophomore last season.

Senior Tyheem Crawford and senior fullback Pat Quinn are offensive weapons along with the versatile Tajhi Tomaino. This team will not fly under the radar coming into the season, so it will be interesting to see if the Bucs are ready to handle the increased attention and expectations. I still think they might be a year away from becoming a Top 10 team, but they have the talent to do it this season.

Can Matawan reload after heavy graduation losses?

The Huskies lost some of the best players in recent program history in Jared Allison, McArthur Underwood, Andre Hodge, John Faccas, Keith Beaty and more from a core of talent that took them to two straight Central Jersey Group II finals.

They return Barnes, Williams and more, but will have to fortify the defense with the newcomers and depend more heavily on Barnes and Williams to pick up the offense. The talent is there. It’s just about how quickly they can gain experience and execute consistently. Offensive coordinator Charlie Rogers has also returned to coaching in the Pop

Football: Class B Central Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Who is the favorite to win the division title?

With defending champion Shore Regional graduating nearly its entire starting lineup from a team that finished 11-1, this division seems fairly up for grabs. I would make Asbury Park the slight favorite because of the weapons it returns on offense and the addition of the Conover twins, Amir and Armond, who transferred to Asbury Park from Lakewood in 2010.

The Conovers didn’t play football last season because they were not eligible, but are two more weapons as running backs and receivers to complement senior wideout Tahj Hammary. The twins starred on the basketball team that won the Group I title this past winter and are solid all-around athletes. The Blue Bishops have to find a replacement for their top offensive weapon from last year, graduated quarterback Jayvon Britt, but have the type of speed and explosiveness to be a tough team to slow down in this division. Plus, they have the motivation of missing the playoffs last year after winning three straight Central Jersey Group I titles.

Can Shore Regional still make a run at it?

Definitely, given the Blue Devils’ track record of success under head coach Mark Costantino. They have to replace a host of talented all-around players, but in a division without a powerhouse team, they

may still have enough to hang another banner if the newcomers can get up to speed quickly.

The Blue Devils still have players like running back/linebacker Nick Grigos, running back/defensive back Stefanos Kousaris and tight end/defensive end Jake Armstrong to build around. The key will be offense because it’s hard to recover from losing a pair of 1,000-yard rushers (Pat Maggio and Mark Coleman) and a star quarterback (Evan Ruane) to graduation and keep the production at a similar level.

However, if the offense can just find a way to do enough, the defense should keep this team in the hunt.

What are Keyport’s chances to win its first division title since 2003?

The Red Raiders certainly could be in the mix as well despite losing 1,000-yard rusher Jordan Edmonds to graduation along with star two-way lineman Greg Velasco. This team can pound the ball on the ground in its Wing-T attack with Richie Smith and Lamair Hill. However, it has to do enough in the passing game to keep opponents honest because it’s hard to be that one-dimensional and win games deep into the season.

The Red Raiders are always a physical team up front on both sides of the ball. It comes down to their offensive line being able to execute against top opponents to move the chains and control the clock.

Rumson's Mike Moralle

Warner ranks, so there looks be an adjustment in that area as well.

What about the rest of the division?

As always, Raritan has sleeper potential because of its coaching and propensity to overachieve, but the Rockets lost a lot of talent and size up front to graduation. Just about all of the skill players are new, but running back Steven Winetsky is one to keep an eye on after he ended last year with some strong performances.

Holmdel has installed a Howell-style no-huddle, pass-heavy spread attack to take advantage of sophomore quarterback Mike Muh, so if anything, the Hornets should be entertaining to watch. St. John Vianney has a new head coach in former Holmdel coach Andy Carlstrom, whose teams bring a hard-nosed brand of football. The Lancers are definitely one of the bigger wildcards in the division.

What about the rest of the division?

With Asbury Park, Shore Regional and Keyport being a clear hierarchy, the rest of the division is wide open. Mater Dei Prep made strides in 2010 under first-year head coach Steve Sciarappa, the school’s principal, Shore's Nick Grigos but did lose numerous quality players to graduation. This is the year the Seraphs are out to prove that they are truly building a program that can be competitive on a regular basis, and they have some pieces on offense to do it.

Point Beach enters as a relative unknown, but one with optimism considering the pedigree of new head coach John Wagner. He had a long run of success at Roselle High School from 1981-2005, including nine playoff appearances and two NJSIAA titles.

Keansburg can only go up after a rough 0-10 season in which it was outscored 422-48, but with some experienced returners, the Titans have the ability to get back on the right track under veteran coach Brian Kmak.

Football: Class A South Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Can Brick Memorial stay on top?

The Mustangs have taken their program to lofty heights, having reached three straight Central Jersey Group IV championship games, but this season may be their biggest challenge considering how much talent was lost to graduation.

They had one of the Shore’s top defenses and its top defensive player, defensive lineman Will Wowkanyn, but will have to replace their top defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs.

In addition, two-year starting quarterback Mike DiGuilmi is gone along with running back Jihaad Howard and two-way lineman Russ Clayton. They also took a big hit on special teams with the graduation of kicker Jordan Loiodice, one of the Shore’s best.

There are some ingredients to keep the winning

going for the defending Class A South champions, primarily junior fullback Anthony Miller and senior slotbacks Vincenzo Diodato and Jarred Eccles. If head coach Walt Currie can find a quarterback to do a solid job in his triple option system, this team can keep the wins coming. There also may be more pressure on the offense in the early going because the defense lost so much that it’s hard to ask that unit to almost single-handedly win games like it did at times last season.

Is Toms River North ready to rejoin the Shore’s elite?

The Mariners had become a regular Top 10 team under head coach Chip LaBarca Jr. before taking a step back last season in finishing 7-3 and out of the state playoffs. They were right there, however, in the hunt for the division title, and also nearly

knocked off Class A North champion Manalapan, so it’s not like it was a major dropoff.

With quarterback Scott Buxbaum and a host of fast receivers, this year ’s team looks Brick Memorial's Anthony Miller to be more versatile than last season’s squad, where quarterback Demetri Davis was pretty much the whole show. They get a chance to show their turnaround immediately when they face a Howell team that blitzed them 48-17 in last year ’s season opener. The Mariners always seem to be solid defensively, so if they can find a way to muster more offense against quality opponents, they can vault right back into a top-five team in the Shore.

Is a young Southern team ready to contend?

The Rams have a junior class that was outstanding at the lower levels, and many of them saw varsity time as sophomores. Now the question is whether they can go from complementary to impact players this season and push Southern back into the conversation for a division title. The Rams have only won one division crown in their history, and that was in 1972.

To do so, they will need to produce more offensively against top division contenders. The Rams only scored a combined 13 points in losses to Brick Memorial, Toms River East and Toms River North last season, so they will have to do better in that area to vault ahead of those teams in the race for the crown.

What about the rest of the division?

Much like Southern, Toms River East has to find consistent offense this season. Teams ganged up on running back Mario Steriti last season in the Raiders’ run-heavy attack, so other weapons have to emerge behind Steriti this season to help them return to the postseason.

The darkhorse in this division is Jackson Memorial, which has a new head coach in former defensive coordinator Walt Krystopik. The Jaguars have some ingredients to be better offensively, notably senior running back Brandon Winston. A good start is key for this team, which has struggled out of the gate in recent seasons as it tries to regain a spot in the state playoffs that used to be taken for granted.

Toms River South can only go up under new coach Ron Signorino Jr. after registering its first winless season since the 1960s. Signorino Jr. built prolific offenses at places like Monsignor Donovan and Toms River East, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him quickly make the Indians difficult to defend.

The darkhorses are Jackson Memorial, Toms River East and Toms River South. Jackson and Toms River South have new head coaches in Walt Krystopik and Ron Signorino Jr., respectively, while Toms River East will have to find a way to generate more offense this season after losing several low-scoring games last year. Senior Mario Steriti is back and determined to improve on a tough junior year for the Raiders.

Jackson has a building block in 1,000-yard rusher Brandon Winston, while Toms River South will force teams to defend the triple option employed by Signorino Jr.

Heading into last season, McLain and Firkser were coming off relatively quiet 1,000-yard seasons for Pinelands and Manalapan, respectively. Both of them exploded for more than 2,000 yards rushing as seniors, including a Shore Conference-record 2,523 yards rushing by McLain in only 10 games.

That was the first time the Shore had a pair of 2,000-yard rushers in the same season since current NFL running backs Knowshon Moreno and Donald Brown did it in 2004.

While it’s doubtful that feat will be repeated this season, there are some candidates to make the leap.

Two of the main possibilities are Manchester’s Joe Johnson and Central’s Kalyph Hardy. Johnson rolled up 1,414 yards last season, while Hardy ran for a school-record 1,620 during an otherwise forgettable 1-9 season.

They will be the focal points of opposing defenses, so much of it also comes down to the strength of their offensive lines and the ability of their quarterbacks to keep defenses honest. In a twisted way, what also doesn’t

With that said, two early candidates that stick out are Red Bank Catholic and Rumson-Fair Haven. I already discussed RBC’s defensive potential earlier in this story, but Rumson also should be very tough on that side of the ball with nearly its entire starting defense returning.

hurt is having a porous defense on their own teams. Pinelands gave up an average of 29 points per game last season, so McLain had to keep coming back on the field and running for more yards just to keep up on the scoreboard.

Players who could make a jump from the shadows to the limelight include Jackson Memorial’s Brandon Winston, who was one of the more consistent backs last season, and Matawan’s Cassius Williams. With the graduation of numerous offensive stars for the Huskies, Williams should get more carries and rack up more yards. Also, don’t forget Long Branch junior Dwight Clark, who also will get more touches this season now that star quarterback Miles Shuler has graduated.

I also think Asbury Park is going to have an explosive backfield, but there are too many backs for one of them to individually rack up a ton of yards.

Same goes for Brick Memorial, which spreads it around enough in the triple option that it’s hard for one player to generate massive totals but it leads to plenty of wins, which are the most important thing.

While there are plenty of exciting running backs heading into this season, the real theme I am sensing are teams that will be adept at stopping them.

whiCh leads to the next Question of... w ho w ill h ave the s hore ’ s B est d efense ?

This is always a little bit of a subjective question because of the different levels of competition that each team faces. A team that plays a more difficult schedule might not have numbers as sparkling as a team that rolled through lesser competition with only one or two tough games.

While RBC’s defensive line will deservedly receive plenty of attention, RBC's Joe Coscarelli Rumson’s group should also be one of the Shore’s best. Senior tackle Jack Eisenstadt has interest from Monmouth University, and fellow defensive lineman Mike Alonzo has interest from Rhode Island. Another defensive lineman, Jack Miles, also returns along with senior Jake Clapp to give the Bulldogs a deep, experienced and talented front four.

Rumson did lose star linebacker Mike Huttner to graduation but still returns senior Brian Truex and junior Travis Clark in that unit. Senior Mike Moralle, who has received Ivy League interest, returns to anchor the secondary along with seniors Nico Giaimo and Dan Babiak. This unit was good enough to stifle one of the Shore’s top offenses in a 13-7 shocker over Matawan in last year’s Central Jersey Group II final and could be even better this season.

Quest ion s Continued from page 9 Middletown South should never be discounted as a defensive force given its track record, and the Eagles will be led by senior linebacker Joe Simone. Wall and Manasquan always seem to produce solid units as well, although both struggled at times last season.

Neptune has the personnel, including Jaheem Woods, David Gutzmore and Ikie Calderon, to become a fast and swarming defense under new head coach Mark Ciccotelli.

The Scarlet Fliers could be right there with some of the Shore’s best, and the main key will be stopping the run because they have the players who can get to the quarterback and defend the pass.

I’m also intrigued to see if Red Bank Regional can make the leap to an elite defense behind star junior defensive end Garrett Sickels and junior linebacker Dillon Stambaugh.

Many of the Shore’s top defenses last season, like Freehold, Brick Memorial, Lacey and Shore Regional, were hit hard by graduation, so we’ll see if they can reload. Toms River East was quietly one of the better defenses in the Shore last year but didn’t get many headlines because its offense struggled and the team did not make the playoffs, so keep an eye on the Raiders. Two darkhorse teams to watch who could make the leap into the spotlight are Colts Neck and Ocean.

Mustangs’ biggest challenge yet given the amount of talent that graduated. I think Howell is a real threat in this bracket because of its prolific passing attack, but the

w hiCh t eams w ill win s tate C hamPionshiPs this f all .

This is always tough because it can take time for a team to come together or get hot, so it’s hard to tell in August. Just look at Freehold, which was written off at 0-2 last year and then stormed to 10 straight wins and the Central Jersey Group III title. RumsonFair Haven was sitting in the weeds all season before reaching up and taking out Matawan in the CJ II final after losing by 28 points to the Huskies earlier in the season.

Rumson is the favorite to repeat as CJ II champions and has the ability to do it behind a strong defense. I think Asbury Park has a chance to reclaim its Central Jersey Group I title after missing the state playoffs last season.

However, the most interesting bracket to me is Central Jersey Group III. Freehold is the defending champion, but lost a ton of talent to graduation and lost star linebacker Jazzmar Clax, who transferred to Neptune, along with head coach Mark Ciccotelli, who is also at Neptune. That makes the Scarlet Fliers an instant threat in this bracket, which they have not won since 1998.

Wall has been building toward this season for three years behind a senior class that features a host of three-year starters. Plus, Middletown South has made the final in this bracket in nine of the past 10 seasons, including three straight, so you can never count the Eagles out despite their graduation losses. There is no clear favorite, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Brick Memorial has made three straight Central Jersey Group IV finals, but this might be the

Rebels are going to have to find a way to slow down opposing running games if they are going to win important games in November. Also, with defending champion Sayreville and Rutgers recruit Delon Stephenson lurking out there, it might be tough for any Shore team to stop the Bombers from repeating.

Finally, Red Bank Catholic has not won a state title since 1976, but may have a shot in Non-Public Group III. First, the Caseys have to prove they can win their first playoff game in 13 years before they show they can go all the way, but that would be a huge step for this program if they can get to the finish line. .

Football: Class B North Burning Questions

By Scott Stump – Managing Editor

Will Red Bank Catholic have enough offense to grab a title?

On paper at least, the Caseys look to have one of the top defenses in the Shore Conference with experience and depth up front, at linebacker, and in the secondary. However, to survive a tough schedule and grab the B North title after sharing it last year with Freehold, they have to find ways to consistently put points on the board against a group of rugged opposing defenses.

RBC returns senior quarterback Ryan Spahr to run the show and has top wideout Greg Golden and tight end Doug Whitlock back to help fill the void left by playmaking tight end Jack Tabb, who is now at North Carolina. The Caseys have had a 1,000-yard rusher for eight straight seasons, but replacing current Harvard freshman Andrew Casten, a two-time, 1,000-yard back, still won’t be easy. Finding that next 1,000-yard back may be the key to their entire season, as they have been able to produce reliably productive offensive lines on a yearly basis.

RBC was able to run the ball even when teams knew it was coming last year, and without Casten, it remains to be seen if the Caseys can continue to do that. With a year of experience, Spahr should be able to make opposing defenses pay more consistently for loading up the box by getting the ball downfield. The receiving corps needs to raise its level of play after being somewhat of an afterthought last season.

were toddlers. Still, the expectations are high for this group. They now have a state champion coach in Mark Ciccotelli, who led Freehold to a pair of Central Jersey Group III titles in the last three seasons, beating Neptune in the playoffs both times.

Following Ciccotelli over from Freehold is senior Jazzmar Clax, a fullback/linebacker who has multiple Division I-A offers. Add those two to a returning core featuring quarterback defensive back Jaheem Woods and linebacker/running backs David Gutzmore and Ikie Calderon, and you have a team generating plenty of buzz.

The Achilles’ heel of the team has been its offensive line play, as it has struggled to move the ball against quality defenses in championship-level games. Case in point was a 14-7 loss to Red Bank Catholic last season in which its defense was outstanding but the offense could not muster a drive to put the game away before RBC won it in the final seconds.

If Neptune can improve up front on both sides of the ball, this team could finally return to its past glory for the first time in more than a decade.

Did Freehold lose too much to repeat as division champions?

The Colonials won a share of the B North title and then went on to capture a state title, but they watched a lot of talent walk out the door in addition to their head coach.

Quarterback Sterry Codrington and the versatile Derrick Bender were tough losses to graduation along with a standout group of linemen.

Plus, Clax transferred to Neptune to join Ciccotelli.

Will Neptune finally get over the hump and win a championship?

The Scarlet Fliers have not won a division or state title since 1998, when their current seniors

RBC's Ryan Spahr

he knows what it takes to win it all. The Colonials have some good young talent, particularly up front, but it may take a year of adjustment and experience before they are ready to go for it all again. This team will play with a chip on its shoulder, you can bet on that.

What about the rest of the division?

Long Branch is a bit of a wildcard in the post-Miles Shuler era after a disappointing 4-6 season. Junior running back Dwight Clark is a good building block, but a host of newcomers up front on both sides of the ball may signal some growing pains. Chemistry is huge for the Green Wave after a season in which it was never able to add up the sum of all its talented parts to make a cohesive team.

Ocean is a proud program coming off a rare 3-7 season, so expect the Spartans to look to open some eyes early on and surprise some people. They have a Division I-caliber running back in senior Greg Moore and good size up front, and they have something to prove. Colts Neck lost one nail-biter after another in a deceiving 2-8 season, so we’ll see if the Cougars can start closing out wins after a year of experience.

Monmouth has a new coach in Jason Morrell and lost just about all of its skill players to graduation, so the Falcons enter as a relative unknown after reaching the state playoffs for just the second time in school history last season.

Former defensive coordinator Dave Ellis is the new head coach.

He was a high-level assistant on two state championship teams, so Neptune's Jaheem Woods

A Sm / 15 Red Bank Catholic at Matawan, 10 a.m.

Two teams that built up a nice rivalry before realignment took them off one another’s schedule go at it. RBC has designs on the No. 1 ranking in the Shore, while this is a good look at the next wave of talent at Matawan after heavy graduation losses.

Rumson-FH, St. Peter’s Prep, East Orange at Middletown South, 4 p.m.

T

h er e’s n o th in g mo r e f u n th an tr yin g to f igu r e ou t th e s to r ylin es of a n u pco min g S h or e Co n f er en ce f ootball s eas on .

The preseason brings hype for some teams, backlash against that hype from other areas, speculation about players and coaches, and intrigue concerning the newcomers. Everyone wants to be the first to say they knew a certain team would have a breakout season after being under the radar, and the dream of a state championship is still real for every team.

This was a great scrimmage last year and a great opportunity to get a look at four very good teams in one place. Rumson is the defending Central Jersey Group II champion, Middletown South has made nine state finals in the last 10 years, St. Peter’s is a perennial state power and East Orange is a perennial public school power from North Jersey.

Friday, Aug. 26 Asbury Park at Point Boro, 10 a.m.

This is a quad scrimmage with two other teams, but it’s a chance to see how Group I Asbury Park stacks up against some bigger schools and a perennial Group II playoff team in Point Boro.

Red Ba n k Reg io n a l at S h o r e Reg io n al, 10 a. m.

Much of the buzz starts from watching scrimmages, even though most teams are vanilla offensively because they don’t want to tip their hands to opposing coaches scouting in the stands. It’s a chance to see that player you heard about but hadn’t seen in person yet, or the newcomer that everyone is talking about.

It also usually gives fans something to argue about later in the season if two teams that scrimmaged end up undefeated or win state championships by season’s end. Even though the game doesn’t count, players and fans will crow about winning the scrimmage when both teams go on to a lot of success and are battling for high rankings in the Shore Conference.

With that said, here are some scrimmages you will want to check out in the coming weeks as we get ready for the 2011 Shore Conference football season.

Monday, Aug. 22 Toms River North at Lacey, 10 a.m.

A traditional scrimmage between two Ocean County powers, this is a chance to get a look at Lacey after it lost nearly its entire lineup to graduation following a 12-0 season.

Tuesday, Aug. 23 TRN’s Chris Hunter

Red Bank's Pat Quinn

A good chance to see an up-and-coming Red Bank team and star junior Garrett Sickles as well as the new-look Blue Devils after the graduation of most of their lineup from an 11-1 team.

Manchester's Tim Rogers

S a tu r da y, Au g. 27 Wall at M an ch es ter, 1 0 a. m.

A loaded Wall team travels to a Manchester team that features 1,400-yard rusher Joe Johnson.

Freehold, Monmouth at Raritan, 10 a.m.

This is a chance to see how Freehold stacks up after losing its head coach to Neptune and a host of talent to graduation on the heels of its second state championship in three seasons. Raritan also could be a darkhorse in Class A Central, and Monmouth is a newlook team with a new head coach in Jason Morrell.

Tu es d ay, Au g . 3 0 Lacey at S ou th er n , 11 a. m.

A Lacey team coming off an unbeaten season takes on a Southern team with a strong junior class that will look to make noise in A South.

Thursday, Sept. 1 Manasquan at Red Bank Catholic, 4 p.m.

Manasquan usually shows nothing in scrimmages, but it’s a good chance to see how physical each team is up front because that is usually a signature of a successful squad at both of these schools.

Piscataway at Middletown South, 6 p.m.

Two public school heavyweights knock heads. This is always a good opportunity to see how Middletown South does against Piscataway’s speed on offense.

S ayr eville a t N eptu n e, 1 0 a.m.

Ru ms on - FH at Wall, 6 p . m.

The Scarlet Fliers take on defending Central Jersey Group IV champion Sayreville, which features explosive Rutgers recruit Delon Stephenson. This will be a great test to see how physical Neptune is up front and how its skill players stack up against Stephenson and Co.

Two teams with state championship and division title aspirations will face off in a game scrimmage.

Howell a t M a ta wa n , 1 0 a.m.

H o w ell’s high - f lying pas s in g attack meets the ex plo s ive r u nn ing attack o f M ataw an in a s cr immage that alw ays s eems to f eatur e s ome b ig play s by each s ide.

O cean at Br ick M emo r ial, 5 p. m.

A good chance to get a look at Brick Memorial’s new squad after graduation losses and also get a glimpse at talented Ocean running back Greg Moore.

TR Ea s t at M an a lap a n , 6 p . m.

Two solid programs square off. Plus it’s a look at Manalapan after the Braves lost nearly their entire lineup to graduation.

Fr ida y, S ept. 2 Neptune at Toms River North, 5 p.m.

Two teams that have the capability of being in the top five in the Shore and making a run at division titles square off in a game scrimmage.
