The Wall baseball team finished the season with a 22 win and 6-loss record. The Crimson Knights also reached the finals of the NJ-SIAA Central Jersey Group III Championship game against Northern Burling-ton. Wall lost a tough but close game by the score of 4 to 3.

To reach the champion-ship Wall defeated Hamil-ton West in the semi finals by the score of 6 to 3. The Crimson Knights built a 6 to 0 lead after four innings over the Hornets who were the third seed. Dan Wondrack got the scoring going with a two run double in the first inning then Jack Gifford fol-lowed that up with a two out two run single in the third inning. Luke Malone, a senior left-hander, pitched 5 1/2 in-nings while only giving up 5 hits and his record improves to 8 wins and only 3 losses on the season.

Wall moved on to the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III final against North-ern Burlington who has a 22 win and 4-loss record this season. Wall had plenty of opportunity throughout the game as they put base runners on base in every inning and they left the bases loaded twice. In the game they left nine runners on base and seven runners in scoring positions. All of the Crimson Knights’ missed opportunities ended up hurting them as Northern Burlington broke a tie in the bottom of

the sixth inning for the 4 to 3 victory. Wall had opportunities to score when they loaded the bases in the second in-ning, but Northern Burlington pitcher Matt Gakeler got a key strike out to end the threat and the inning. In the next inning, Wall had runners on first and third base with one out and tried to steal second base, but the runner was thrown out. Wall was able to score when Dan Wondrack singled to score a run and tie the score. Wall could have taken the lead in the fifth inning when Tim Willey hit a double then moved to third on a ground out, but after a strike out and a groundout he was left stranded at third base.

Head coach Todd Schmitt said, "It wasn't one single thing, we just didn't get the big hit in any inning." Wall which concludes its’ successful season with a fantastic 22 win and 6 loss re-cord after making it to the first appear-ance in a state sectional final since the 2008 Group III Championship game.

The St. Rose varsity baseball team had its NJSIAA Tournament run ended prematurely with a 9-2 loss to ninth-seeded Roselle Catholic in the Non-Public South B quarterfinals in Wall on Wednesday, May 29.

The Purple Roses, who earned their section’s top seed and with it a bye to the quarterfinals, were unable to solve Roselle Catholic starter Ryan Sheekey. The Lions senior pitched a five-hitter, striking out 12 while walking a pair. St. Rose’s Joey Delacruz was seemingly the only Purple Rose who could solve Sheekey, connecting for three doubles in the losing cause.

“To be knocked out of the tournament this early isn’t representative of all the hard work and sacrifice that every one

of our boys put into the season,” St. Rose coach Mike Condon said. “I'm sure our boys would gladly trade in a few of our 19 wins to be playing in the next round of the tournament.”The setback punctuated a rough May for the Purple Roses, who carried an undefeated record into the month be-fore falling 2-0 in a pitchers’ duel at Red Bank Catholic on May 4, the start of a three-game losing streak, which also included a round of 16 loss to Manalapan in the Monmouth County Tournament. The Purple Roses seemed to regain their previous form after the tough week, but again ran into a hot pitcher -- this time Jackson Liberty ju-nior Danny Serreino -- who outdueled senior St. Rose ace Brad Currao, 1-0, to put an abrupt end to the Roses’ Shore Conference Tournament run.

Mater Dei Prep’s Jackie Nash fanned six batters and gave up only three hits to help lead the 15th-seeded Seraphs to a stun-ning 2-1 victory over the second-seeded Wall Crimson Knights in a Shore Confer-ence Tournament Round of 16 game at Wall High School on May 27th.

The Crimson Knights wasted no time jump-ing out to an early 1-0 lead on a first-pitch, leadoff homer by Sydney Canessa during the bottom of the first inning. The only other hits allowed by Nash were to Canessa, who doubled with two outs in the bottom of the third and Katie Wingle, who hit a single with two outs in the bottom of the fourth.

During the top of the second inning, Nash and Erin Batz each smacked RBI doubles for the Seraphs to make the final score 2-1.

It is very hard to beat the same team three times during a season, but that is exactly what the second-seeded Seraphs did when they hosted the seventh-seeded St. Rose Purple Roses in the Non-Public South B quarterfinals on May 29th and came away with an impressive 11-1 victory.Larisa Chiesa turned in a stellar perfor-mance for the Seraphs by going 5-for-5 with two triples and three RBI’s and Nash fired a three-hitter with four strikeouts.

After defeating the seventh-seeded Howell Rebels, 5-0 in the SCT quarterfinals at How-ell High School on May 30th, the Seraphs hosted third-seeded Sacred Heart on May 31st in the Non-Public South B semifinals and ended up losing a 5-4 heartbreaker.

Sacred Heart took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first and then Mater Dei Prep ral-lied back with three runs in the bottom of the first with the big hits in the inning be-ing two-out RBI singles by Maggie Klatt and Batz to give the Seraphs a 3-1 lead.

The Lady Lions then exploded for four runs in the top of the third to regain the lead at 5-3.

During the bottom of the sixth, Nash drew a walk with one out and then Batz, who went 2-for-3 hit a two-out single to right field and Audrianna Miller, who also went 2-for-3 followed with an RBI single to left field, which plated Jamie Luminoso, who was running for Nash to make the final score 5-4.

“I couldn’t be more proud of my girls and they played with a lot of heart,” Mater Dei Prep head coach Jeanne Dickinson said. “It is hard for the seniors to lose their final game on their home field.”

On June 1st, the Seraphs traveled to Toms River East to face the third-seeded Raiders in the SCT semifinals and ended up losing 6-0 to end their season with an impressive 24-4 record. Highlights from the Seraphs season include going unbeaten in Class B Central, defeating Freehold Township, 3-1 in the final of the Monmouth County Tour-nament White Division and beating Red Bank Catholic, 3-2.

“It has been a very fun year for me to coach,” Dickinson said.

HOLMDEL - St. John Vianney’s softball team received a major scare Friday when it held on to Glouceser Catholic, 5-4, in an NJSIAA South Jersey Non-Public A semifi-nal game.

The Lady Lancers, however, appeared back in form Saturday by scoring an ef-ficient 5-0 shutout over A Central rival Raritan, Saturday, in a Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal game. SJV will play host to Middletown South, Monday, in a semifinal game.

“We were a little bit flat Friday,” said SJV coach Kim Lomberdi, “It may have been a lack of concentration, but we played real well today, I’m happy with way we have been hitting.”

Winning pitcher Katie Beriont started off a bit slow allowing base runners in each of the first four innings, but she settled down and retired the final 12 Raritan batters of the game. “Once we got untracked of-fensively, we settled down,” said Beriont, who scattered five hits, fanned eight and walked just one batter She also helped her own cxause with a double, two singles and a run scored. “I felt better when I got deep into the Raritan lineup,” said Beriont. “I just changed my pitch sequence. I didn’t throw many fastballs.” SJV (23-1), whose lone loss was a 1-0 extra inning setback to Livingston in an early sea-son game, took a 1-0 kad in the second inning when Beriont doubled leading off and Erica Krumbino followed with an RBI single.

Raritan’s best opportunity came in the second inning when Ni-cole Coppolino and Lindsey Carver singled with none out,

but a pop-up on an attempted sacrfice bunt and two infield outs ended the threat. SJV added a run in the fourth inning when Claire Steffaneli was safe on an error and was doubled home by Ashley Ventura.The Lady Lancers wrapped it up with three runs in the sixth inning off losing pitcher Emily Schaeffer. Beriont and Krumbino singled and Stefanelli followed with an RBI single. Ventrua and Marlene Bevilcqua followed with run-scoring singles. SJV will play Paul VI of Haddonfield Tuesday at Brick Memo-rial in an NJSIAA South Jersey Non-Public A title game. Raritan closed out a 22-10 season, but coach Aado Kommedant was pleased with his team’s performance.”We have only three seniors,” he said.”We’ve been fighters all season.”

The Jackson Memorial varsity base-ball team fell a game short of reach-ing the Shore Conference Tournament finals, losing 6-3 to Toms River North in the semifinal round at Count Basie Park in Red Bank on May 30.

The defending Shore Conference Tournament champions and recent mainstays in the tournament finals, Jackson was hopeful to rebound from its surprising 2-0 loss to Brick Me-morial on May 29 that knocked the Jaguars out of NJSIAA Central IV con-tention. Instead, they fell behind 4-0 to last year’s SCT runners-up before

plating their first run in the fifth inning on a Jordan Burst RBI double. But their effort to chip away was quickly neutralized by TR North starting pitch-er Karl Blum, who got that run back and added another when he blasted a two-run home run to extend the lead to 6-1.With their tournament hopes dwin-dling, the Jaguars finally got the Duke-bound Blum on the ropes in the seventh inning. Two run-scoring ex-tra-base hits – an RBI triple from Burst and a Mike Petrizzo RBI double – cut the lead to 6-3 and chased the future Blue Devil from the mound, one out

shy of a complete game. Blum was re-lieved by junior Steve Slagmolen who recorded the final out without incident to avert a Jackson comeback, keep-ing the Jaguars out of the SCT finals for the first time since 2008. It was the second time this season that TR North was responsible for Jackson’s tourna-ment ouster, the previous a 2-0 win over the Jaguars in the Ocean County Tournament final.

“Blum pitched a really good game,” Jackson Memorial coach Frank Malta said after the game. “We created a lot of opportunities for ourselves but couldn’t cash in. It was a disappoint-

ing end to the season.”

Despite their near misses in tourna-ment play, Jackson was incredibly successful in the Shore Conference regular season, winning Class A South with a 14-0 division record. They finished the year with a 23-5 overall record.

“We got off to a very good start, re-ally executing and playing well,” Malta said. “I think the latter third of the season, for whatever reason, we weren’t playing as well – weren’t ex-ecuting as well. We made it difficult for ourselves.”

The Cougars came off a fantastic 2012 season and captured the title of Co-A North Champions. After finishing 11- 6 they expected 2013 to be even better. The Cougars indeed succeeded. They capped off the year at 12-7 and advanced in both the Shore Conference Tournament and the State Tournament. Led by their core of veteran leaders, the Cougars surged to a 7-3 start including two overtime vic-tories. During the second half of the sea-son, starting goalie Dustin Thugut was

sidelined due to an injury. The Cougar’s goaltending position fell on the shoulders of freshman phenom, Andrew Halmi. With Halmi’s stellar play the Cougars won their first Shore Conference tourney game

along with their first State playoff game. The Cougars 12 wins were fueled offen-sively by scoring machines Rob Halmi and John Miller on attack. Colts Neck will miss all of their seniors who have helped an-chor the team over the past few seasons. Although the Cougars did not yield a title

this year, their record improved and they

are poised to bounce back next year and

continue to grow as a program. Coach

Rosenberg always says, “Leave no doubt,”

and the Cougars plan to leave nothing to

question after next season.

TOMS RIVER— The Toms River South girls’ lacrosse team lived up to their 4th place seeding and made it to the semifinals of the South Group III bracket of the state tournament. They would ultimately fall to the top seed and eventual champion Moorestown, but the Indians (16-3) made an im-pressive run in the playoffs after win-ning the Class A South Division for the first time in school history.

In the quarterfinals, TR South edged out 12th seeded Seneca by a score of 14-13 in double overtime. Senior Macy Scott, who has committed to Rutgers for college, scored a game-high eight goals in helping the Indians advance. However, Moorestown was able to shut Scott down in the semifinals leav-ing her with 266 career goals, two shy of tying the school record. They held her scoreless in an 18-2 win to end TR South’s seeason.

The state tournament began with some offensive fireworks. The Indians put 39 shots on goal and 15 of them found the back of the net as they downed Kingsway by a score of 15-8. The 13th seeded Dragons (5-12) overall trailed 10-4 at halftime and never threat-ened in the second half. Scott tallied a game-high six goals and broke the school record with 100 goals on the season. They also received a lot of of-fense from Abby Pollioni who scored four times. Laura Kurzynowski added three goals and Noelle Shirey chipped in twice. Goaltender Mariam Ahmed made six saves in net.

The Raritan girls’ softball team is having a super season with 22 win and 9-loss record and they had an 11 game winning streak along the way. After a victory against Toms River North (7 to 6) the Rockets will move on to face St. John Vianney, who is the number one seed in the next round of the Shore Confer-ence Tournament.

In the Rockets’ first round game against Toms River North, pitcher Bethany Bud-ner allowed only one earned run and got the win in two innings of relief pitching as Rari-tan defeated Toms Riv-er North by the score of 7 to 6 in the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament. On of-fense, Nicole Coppolino went 2 for 3 with a home run and 4 runs bat-ted in while Emily Schaeffer also hit a

home run and had 2 runs batted in. The Rockets trailed 6 to 2 going into the sixth inning, but scored six runs to grab the lead and victory over the number nine seed.

Raritan also has been having success in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II State Tournament as they reached the finals against Robbinsville and in a very hard fought game the Rockets

came up against a tough pitcher and lost by the score of 1 to 0. Raritan faced pitcher Lauren Fischer from Robbinsville who threw a no hitter against the seventh seeded Rockets.

Raritan’s only threat came in the third in-ning when after a walk and a stolen base and an error in the infield the Rockets had run-ners on first and sec-ond base. Fischer got out of the jam and the inning without giving up a run as he struck out the next Raritan batter.

The Rockets will try and put this tough loss behind them as they

prepare for their next game against the number one seed in St John Vi-anney as it is who the Rockets play in the next round of the Shore Confer-ence Tournament.

When this baseball season began the Shore Regional team got off to a rough start. A combination of some key injuries and some tough losses to good competition left the Blue Devils’ with a 1 win and 10-loss re-cord to start the season. Since then the Blue Devil's have got-ten healthy and started playing better and went on a nine game winning streak and won 10 of their last 11 games reaching the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group I Final.

The Blue Devils’ were eligible to play in the state tournament due to a rule change that allows teams with a below .500 record to still qualify for the tourna-ment. Shore has made the best out of their opportunity by upset-ting some teams and reaching the finals of the Group I Cham-pionship.

To reach the semifinals of the Group I bracket the Blue Devils’ won eight games in a row and earned the chance to play New Egypt (19-7) in the semi finals. In the game against New Egypt the score was tied 1 to 1 in the sixth inning when, with two outs, Clayton Coffey and James Kelly drew walks. Andrew Schultz hit a single to drive in Coffey with the go ahead run. Matt Cosen-tino followed with another single scoring Kelly; then both Schultz and Cosentino scored on wild pitches making the score 5 to 1 in the victory. Chris Vaccaro pitched the entire game to pick up the win on the mound and Mike Blaney hit a home run in the second inning for the Blue Devils’ other run.

In the game against Middlesex High School (24-4) in the NJ-SIAA Central Jersey Group I Fi-

nal the Blue Devils’ were looking to win their ninth game in a row and head coach Pat O'Niell said, "We we're trying to keep the kids confi-dent because we knew we had the talent to play with them." Shore went up against Tom Marcincyzk on the mound for Middlesex and he will be pitching for Rutgers next season on a partial scholarship and has an

0.80 earned run average and Shore could only get three hits against the tough left hander. The Blue Jays de-feated the Blue Devils’ by the score of 4 to 0 with Mike Blaney pitching well for the Blue Devils’, but losing his first decision in his last 5 starts.

Coach O'Niell is extremely proud of this year’s team and how they never

gave up and just continued working and continued playing all season long regardless of the circumstanc-es. He said, "We play in a very hard division day in and day out and that helps improve our team. This teams great effort and constant practice and improving was finally rewarded as the season went on they got to see the results of their hard work."

RUMSON - The Rumson Fair Haven boy’s lacrosse team had a number of attainable goals in their sights as the season got under way in the beginning of April.

They accomplished the first one May 15, beating Southern Regional 14-5, for a Shore Conference record, three-consecutive Shore Conference Tourna-ment Championships.

On Saturday, in weather more con-ducive to football than lacrosse, the No.19 Bulldogs (18-2) won the South Jersey Group 1 State Sectional title with a 10-6 victory over No.18 Bernards (19-5), held in the wind, cold and rain of Rumson’s Borden Stadium. It was the

Bulldogs first-ever state sectional title for this very successful program.

“This means a great deal to us,” junior midfielder Chris Hubler said. “It’s a first in school history, that’s amazing. We played really well today at both ends of the field. We possessed the ball, valued the ball, looked for the right shot and didn’t force anything; everyone played great.”

“We are on a mission this year, to win the Shore Conference Tournament and then win the states,” senior attacker Michael Clarke added. “We knew we could do it. We just had to put our mind to it and work hard. After that loss to Jackson (on April 8), it made us work

even harder.”

Clarke got the Bulldogs on the board early in the contest whipping a shot past the goalie from about ten yards out at 10:06 of the first period. Hubler followed two and a half minutes later with an unassisted goal to hand the Bulldogs a quick 2-0 lead.

Rumson dominated the first quarter with crisp passing, moving the ball around and holding possession for long periods of time, while looking for the play to develop.

At 5:01 of the first, senior goalie Dylan Rotherford made a nice stop and found junior JT Jennings with an outlet pass about twenty yards down-field. Jennings took the pass and rushed the length of the field all the way for a score and a 3-0 lead. Roth-erford again had a hand in a score

as he made another terrific save and immediately found senior middie Michael Vil-lane, who passed to Clarke stationed in front of the goal for the score.

The Bulldogs added another score to open the second quarter on a goal by Dylan’s brother, Hunter Rotherford to make it 5-0, before Bernards came to life and scored the final three goals of the half to make it a 5-3 game. Grif-fin Connor scored twice and Robert Schaufler once as the Mountaineers seized the mo-mentum at the half.

But Rumson’s big-game experience proved to be the difference as the Bulldogs came out for the second half smoking, scoring three-straight goals for a 8-3 lead at 4:37 of the third quarter. Rotchford scored his second straight at 9:44, junior Chris Sutphen put one in the net a minute later and Clarke scored on a beautiful spin move at 4:37, as the Bulldogs took control of the game.

“That was the difference maker,” said Bulldog head coach Reid Jackson. “We went into the locker room after the second quarter and calmed down. We knew this was our field and we knew what we had to do and we just went out there and did it.”After a Bernards goal right before the end of the third quarter, the two teams traded goals with Clarke and junior at-tacker Dom Padula scoring for Rumson

and Connor, picking up his third and fourth goals of the game for Bernards and a 10-6 final.

Rotchford had 11 saves for the game and was rock solid in goal all day for the Bulldogs, making one big save af-ter another.

“Dylan Rotchford was unbelievable for us today,” Jackson said. “Not only was he great between the pipes today but his outlet passes, everything was just so heads up.”

Clarke finished with four goals and an assist, while Hubler had a goal and two assists.

The Bulldogs will be gunning for an-other first on Wednesday when they travel to Livingston for the State Group 1 Championship against North Jersey Group 1 Champ Mountain Lakes (15-5), the No.11 ranked team in the state.

Del Dal Pra has been around baseball for almost his whole life. After 20 years of coaching the current Athletic Direc-tor at Red Bank Regional is retiring from the world of coaching baseball. He will still be the Athletic Director for Red Bank Regional, but his main concentration will be his three sons who are 7,8, and 11 years old and all three boys are very involved with sports. Dal Pra does not want to miss a minute on his children going through one of the greatest times of a child’s life.

Dal Pra played his high school baseball at Rumson Fair Haven under legendary coach Hal Lorme and as a player and captain of the 1984 team, the Bulldogs won a title in the 1984 season. In col-lege he played football and baseball for William Patterson and then Rowan. His first head-coaching job after be-

ing an assistant at his Alma Mater (Rumson Fair Haven) for four seasons was at Henry Hudson High School. In two years as head coach, he was able to take a small group I school to a state final. After a one year stop at Ocean County College, Dal Pra accepted the head baseball coach-ing position at Ocean Township High School where in 10 seasons he coached some impres-sive teams. His teams won 4 division titles, 2 county championships,

2 Shore Conference Tournament titles, and 2 Sectional State titles. He also coached 11 first-team all shore players in his 10 seasons. For the last 2 sea-sons, Dal Pra has coached at Red Bank Regional and even though he enjoys being around the game of baseball it is time for his next challenge. He said, "It's been fun and I have learned a lot about baseball and myself. Baseball has always been my passion but fam-ily is more important and my boys will only be this age once and I don't want to miss any of their growing up".

Dal Pra's first challenge after giving up coaching will be to establish a little league program for the towns that send students to Red Bank Regional. Little Silver, Shrewsbury, Red Bank and the surrounding towns do not have a little

league team and Dal Pra would like to see that change. He said, "This is go-ing to be my next passion. The kids in these towns (mine included) need a little league program as that is one of the greatest times of a kids’ growing up." Something tells me that with Dal Pra's motivation and determination he will get a little league program going in these towns and something else tells me that even though his high school coach-

ing days are over I'm sure if they ap-prove little league baseball in his town you will see Dal Pra coaching one or all of his sons’ teams. That would be a great thing as the kids would get all of Dal Pra's baseball wisdom and he himself would still be involved in the game that he loves and that has meant so much to his life. Good Luck Del Dal Pra!

By Eric BraunLONG BRANCH- Coming off a frustrating 5-5 season in2011, the Green Wave from Long Branch High Schoolhave gotten back to their tradition of ground and pound.The Wave has rushed out to a 2-0 record with wins overManasquan and Monmouth, relying mostly on the legs ofJosil Jackson and the arm of Avery Griffin.

Long Branch took a hit during their final pre-seasongame when senior tailback Dwight Clark went down witha broken left ankle. Clark is expected back by midseasonbut Coach Dan George needs to keep his team focused andmoving forward to get back to Class B North dominanceand be eligible for the NJSIAA tournament. CoachGeorge also lost senior tight- end and linebacker Dominic Mincieli when he suffered a knee injury in the spring, butMincieli should be back in the first couple weeks of the

season.Minus the injuries, the Green Wave is in prime posi-

tion to challenge Neptune, Wall and Ocean in the ShoreConference B North division. Top to bottom this is thetoughest division in the Shore Conference. Coach Georgewill look to get additional contributions from juniorShabazz Shuler and seniors Curtis Gunther and TreySmith at wide outs. On defense, the Wave will look forChris Pappayluo and senior safeties Corey Morris andBrett Roach to shutdown opposing offenses.

By Brian DanemanThe Howell Rebels might have known they were in

for a rough night at the swamp when they were calledfor a delay of game penalty before the game even start-ed. The penalty was rightfully called because theRebels did not enter the field until well after 7pm leav-ing the home team to wait on the sidelines.

The game was riddled with penalties on both sides ofthe ball. Nineteen penalties were called to be exact andfive were on just the first series. But otherwise, it wasa well-played game. Howell’s passing efforts actuallylooked quite sharp on their first two possessions withsix completions and four first downs. On their thirdpossession, the relentless Eagle defensive line sackedRebel quarterback Connor McGlynn at the Rebels ownthree- yard line. In doing so, they knocked him out ofthe game and into an awaiting ambulance with a pos-sible neck or shoulder injury.

From this point late in the first quarter MiddletownSouth began to soar behind the power running of JakeRipnick scoring on three subsequent drives. Ripnickran for 157 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.The Eagles took advantage of the loss of the Howellquarterback and pressured his substitute Aaron Trimblefor the rest of the night leading to five sacks and twointerceptions; one by junior Andrew Wisialko for sixyards and one later in the second half by speedsterElijah Smith for a 60- yard touchdown return. TheSouth defense was tenacious all night and gave theoffense great field position on every series.

The offense led by Ripnick and quarterback Kyle

Bray moved the ball well throughout the game relyingheavy on the run but also sprinkling in a few passesto shake things up. Bray’s throws were accurate espe-cially the 25- yard bullet he threw to junior wide outTaylor Hendrickson late in the second quarter for thethird score of the game. The two connected on four

passes for the entire game. The South offensive anddefensive lines controlled the line of scrimmage foralmost the entire game and helped to earn the lopsidedvictory.

The Rebels did manage to score a touchdown late inthe fourth quarter on a 24- yard throw from Trimble to

JERSEY SHORE— The Shore Conference was well represented in both the boys’ and girls’ golf Tournament of Champions this season. CBA won the boys’ title with an im-pressive score of 299, the only team below 300 on the course at Hopewell Valley Golf Club. Jerry Wall was the top golfer for the Colts with a score of 70 which was good for 5th place overall among individuals. Howell’s Dawson Jones finished in second place and nearly won the TOC individual crown. Jones fell short by just one stroke (69).

"It feels good to end the year the way we started. Number 1," CBA’s Wall said. "This was the first time we broke 300 all year, so it was a great way to end it."

Rumson-Fair Haven finished 10th overall in the TOC and second in Group II. John Edler led the way with a 73. St. Rose fin-ished 11th but took home the Non-Public B crown. Wall Township was third in Group III. Among individuals, Monmouth Region-al’s Brendon Gutzler had a strong showing in Group II with a second place finish (71).

On the girls’ side, Red Bank Catholic se-nior Taylor Totland was the defending champion, but came in second this year. Totland lost by one stroke to her future col-lege teammate, Alice Chen of Montgom-ery. Both golfers will attend Furman with Totland headed there this fall and Chen, a junior, joining her in the fall of 2014. Totland shot even par (72) for the second place finish. Colts Neck’s Emily Mills shot a 77 to finish sixth and Rumson Fair-Haven’s Katie Veasey shot an 80. RBC also finished second as a team with Taylor Totland’s sis-ter Nicole shooting the next best score of 82 for the Caseys.

RED BANK— At a time when they need-ed a clutch performance from their se-nior pitcher and slugger, the Toms River North baseball team got exactly what they needed. Duke Univer-sity-bound Karl Blum earned the win and hit a home run while fighting off cramps on a steamy Thurs-day afternoon as the Mariners beat Jack-son Memorial 6-3 to advance to the Shore Conference Tourna-ment Final. TR North, the 5th seed, ousted the top seed and de-

fending champion Jaguars in large part due to Blum’s efforts.

“We lost to Jackson Memorial three times last year and in the Shore Con-ference Tournament Final so we want to get them back,” said Blum before the season started.

He made sure that his words rang true for a second time this season (TR North defeated Jackson Memorial in the Ocean County Tournament two weeks earlier). The senior tossed 6 2/3 innings before junior Steve Slagmolen came on to get the last batter for the save. Blum hit a two-run home run in the 5th inning. Sophomore shortstop Carmen Sclafani doubled home two runs and first baseman Anthony Ferlise had three hits with a pair of RBIs.

The win over Jackson Memorial was preceded by the Mariners ousting 4th seeded crosstown rival Toms River South 6-4 in the quarterfinals. They also defeated Central Regional 5-3 in the Round of 16. TR North was set to take on 7th seeded Jackson Liberty in the SCT Final on Monday at First En-ergy Park in Lakewood.

Blum Powers Mariners into SCT FinalBy Ted Kaiser

RED BANK— The Jackson Lib-erty baseball team flew under the radar for most of the season despite an 18-8 record. The 7th seeded Lions are officially no-ticed now after they defeated 3rd seeded CBA by a score of 3-1 to reach the Shore Conference Tournament final. Of course, Jackson Liberty was already gaining plenty of attention after they upset 2nd seed Red Bank Catholic in the quarterfinals last week. That 5-4 victory followed up a 1-0 nail-biting win over 10th seed St. Rose that together propelled the Lions in the semifi-nals versus CBA.

Liberty struck first with two runs in the top of the second inning. The first scored on an error, then Jor-dan Mundell knocked in one of his two RBIs with a single. Mun-dell picked up his second RBI in the top of the fourth for a 3-0 lead. CBA scratched across a run in the 5th, but Jackson start-er Dan Serreino worked around major trouble despite the Colts getting 11 hits in the game, nine charged to him. Senior Tyler Pal-lante came on in relief in the 7th and earned the save despite giv-ing up two hits to start the inning. Pallante got CBA slugger Joe Dudek to pop out then recorded

When one initially thinks of Christian Brothers Academy athletics, the illustrious bas-ketball, baseball, and running programs immediately come to mind. However, over the last few years, the recently estab-lished CBA rowing program is making a name for itself in Lincroft as a force to be reck-oned with on the national level. This season, the Colts reached new heights of success that have people talking about as the new powerhouse athletic program to come from the all-boys Catholic high school.

First off, the Colts captured gold at the Stotesbury Cup Re-gatta along the Schuylkill Riv-er in Philadelphia, the largest and oldest high school rowing competition in the world. CBA’s lightweight four boat with cox-swain Maxwell Kellermueller and rowers Sam Henning, Dan

Weihs, Ted Fortier, and Michael Guadagno won the grand 1500 meter final in a time of 5:00.15, more than three seconds ahead of the second place finisher.

Coached by Scott Belford, the CBA squad went undefeated at the regatta by winning the qualifying race with the fastest time, along with the semifinal

and grand final race. Two oth-er CBA boats made the grand finals. The senior four boat, featuring Mark Steinbrick, Kurt Vostal, Scott Londegran and Neil Hughes with coxswain P.J. DeFelice, and the junior four boat, with Jack Smallwood, Justin Terek, Dylan Adams, Ryan Hutzley and coxswain Rick Magliozzi, both finished fifth.

Following their gold medal per-formance in the City of Brother-ly Love, the CBA Colts captured their second Scholastic Rowing Association of America (SRAA) National Championship in three years along the Cooper River in Camden. The same lightweight four boat that cap-tured gold the previous week-end won the national champi-onship with a time of 5:01.45 on the 1500 meter course.

With 300 meters to go, four boats were overlapped but CBA passed the others with a 40-strokes-per-minute sprint to swipe the title. The SRAA Na-tional Championships is an invitational regatta open to high school crew teams who are able to qualify in one of seven regional regattas. CBA qualified five boats this season — the junior double, freshman eight, junior four and varsity four, in addition to the light-weight four.

There were high expectations for the Red Bank Catholic girls’ lacrosse team going into this season. Lisa Caprioni's team returned many talent-ed players from a team last year that won a sectional title as well as a Shore Conference Tournament title. The Lady Casey's had a talented roster return-ing this season and they did not disappoint. The Lady Casey's finished with a 20 win and only 3 loss season and even though they came up short on win-ning another title Red Bank Catholic girls lacrosse had a great season and were ranked in the top 3 all sea-son long.

The Casey's reached the semi finals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II Championship and took on a familiar opponent in Rumson Fair Haven. Red Bank Catholic led by 2 goals at halftime be-fore the Bulldogs scored 5 unanswered goals to defeat the Casey's by the final score of 12 to 9. The Casey's tried to keep the pressure on in the second half against Rumson goal-ie Maddie Mullen, but she saved six of the seven shots the Casey’s shot at her. Offensively, Grace Fallon scored 2 goals and had 3 assists for Red

Bank Catholic, while Emily Schissler added 4 goals. Amanda Casten and Maeve Cowley each scored goals for

the Casey's while goalie Sabrina Arbes made 5 saves in goal for the.

In the finals of the Shore Conference

Tournament Red Bank Catholic once again took on Rumson Fair Haven and after another hard fought game came

up short on the scoreboard losing to the Bulldogs by the score of 14 to 9. Red Bank Catholic trailed 8 to 6 at halftime but just couldn’t overcome the Bulldogs in the second half. Amanda Casten scored 5 goals and had an assist for Red Bank Catholic while Maeve Cow-ley, Grace Fallon, Julie Kra-sutsky, and Emily Schissler each scored a goal for Red Bank Catholic.

The Casey’s finish the sea-son with a 20 win and 3 loss record with all 3 of those losses coming at the hands of Rumson Fair Ha-ven but aside from wanting to win a few of their close losses the Casey’s can be proud of a great season. Some of the season-ending stats are Grace Fallon scor-ing 162 points on 63 goals and 99 assists, Meave Cowley scoring113 points on 69 goals and 44 assists, and Amanda Casten scor-

ing 110 points on 93 goals and 17 assists. Goalie Sabrina Arbes finished the season with a 16 and 3 record and made 69 saves on the season.

back-to-back strikeouts. As a freshman, Pallante gave up a three-run game-winning home run to Jackson Memorial’s Matt Meleo in a 7-5 loss that kept the Lions from the SCT Final. So preserving this victory over CBA for a spot in the SCT Final was especially sweet for senior Pal-lante.

The Shore Conference Tourna-ment final was played on Mon-day, June 3rd at 8pm at First Energy Park in Lakewood. Jack-son Liberty squared off with 5th seeded Toms River North for the championship.
