POINT PLEASANT— The PointBoro boys track and fieldteam was back at it this weekin a dual meet at homeagainst Barnegat and CentralRegional. While the Pantherswere unable to top their com-petition, a lot of athletes hitpersonal bests and pushedthemselves because of thetough competition.Point Boro’s weakest per-formance at the home meetended up being in the throw-

ing events. The Panthers hada third-place finish in the dis-cus but were swept in theshot put and the javelinthrow. Jack Ehrhardt, usuallya strong competitor in thejavelin, was saving himselffor the upcoming Ocean Re-lays.“Jack Ehrhardt in thejavelin — we didn’t throwhim today,” explained headcoach Mike Colonna. “He’sgetting his mind set for theOcean County Relays on Fri-day down at Southern Re-gional.”Central Regional had itsstarting varsity quarterbackthrowing javelin, andBarnegat stepped up withstrong competition.

The Panthers competedin the SCT for the firsttime in over 10 years


The Point Boro tennis team participated in the Shore ConferenceTournament for the first time in over 10 years. Seeded at 24, theylost to nine-seeded Toms River East last Friday.


POINT BORO— The stage waspretty much set for a closegame at home last Thursday.Point Boro boys lacrosse, intheir inaugural varsity sea-son, faced off against HaddonTownship, also in their inau-gural season.The Panthers already

found their young program’sfirst win and were hungry foranother. Haddon was stillsearching for their first victo-ry. This made for a gritty,hard-hitting, intense, andevenly matched lacrossegame from start to finish.In the end, after the game

went into overtime, the Pan-thers fell 9-8 to the Hawks ofHaddon Township.“They took the lead and we

tied it up. It was back andforth back and forth, twoeven teams,” said head coachGuy Lassen after the game. “Itold them you have to keepyour head up.”In the first quarter Haddon

struck swiftly, scoring twicein the first three minutes ofplay. The Panthers gainedcontrol of the Hawk offenseand went to work offensively.Their first goal came on a

lightning pass from VinnyCeres from the right wing toteammate Matt Youmans,who wasted no time tossingthe ball past the goalie.

With four minutes left inthe first quarter Tanner Gor-don joined in on the actionhitting a goal for Point Boroto even out the score at 2.Neither team scored before

the end of the first quarter.The first five minutes of thesecond quarter also remainedscoreless as both teams hadtrouble navigating throughthe other’s defense.Haddon Township ended

the small drought scoringonce at the 6:41 mark andagain with 2:34 left on theclock. Point Boro could notfind the back of the net be-fore the end of the half butfound relief in only beingdown 4-2.“We were a little slow in

the beginning but it pickedup. We got a bit behind andthey did not put their tail be-tween their legs they kept onplaying,” stated Lassen abouthis team. “They played hard.”The Panthers were chug-

ging away, playing fast andhitting hard. Unfortunatelythe second half started offwith Ceres on the sideline fora one-minute unnecessaryroughness penalty. This ledto a Hawks goal and a threescore deficit for Point Boro.A little more than halfway

through the third quarterHaddon scored once morefor their largest lead of thegame, 6-2.

But the Panthers were notready to call it quits yet.Trevor McNamara found theback of the net with 2:17 lefton the clock. One minute anda half later, Darian Healypassed to Matt Schwartz whoshot the ball between thegoalie’s legs to cut the lead inhalf. The third quarter endedand Point Boro was gainingground on the Hawks’ two-goal lead.The fourth quarter began

and this time Healy foundhimself serving penalty timefor an illegal crosscheck. ThePanther defense stepped upand kept Haddon from scor-ing during the advantage.Still down 6-4, Point Boro

was on the precipice of find-ing their next goal. It camewith eight and a half minutesleft in the quarter from theduo of Youmans andSchwartz.Youmans passed to

Schwartz and he put the ballpast the goalie.40 seconds later they

struck again. This timeSchwartz had the assist andYoumans netted the goal.Point Boro and HaddonTownship were now even atsix apiece.Lassen was proud of the

way Youmans and Schwartzwere working together, say-ing, “I think today they cameout of their shells.”Neither team was finished

and Haddon went back topushing their offense. It even-tually led to another goal forthe Hawks. Point Boro re-sponded soon after asSchwartz delivered a lowbouncing shot around theHawks goalie to tie the gameagain.With four minutes left in

the final quarter the Hawksfound the net one more timein what appeared to be thegame winner. But the Pan-thers were not going downwithout a fight.Once again, it was the duo

of Youmans and Schwartzwho stepped up. Youmansdished out the assist andSchwartz put the ball in theback of the net.Tied up 2-2, there was only

two minutes left in regulationtime and both teams werefighting hard for the winninggoal.The Panthers managed to

claim possession and Lassencalled a timeout with 13.1 sec-onds left in the game. Follow-ing the timeout the Panthersexecuted a play designed forone last shot on goal. Unfor-tunately the Hawks goaliewas up to the challenge, mak-ing the save as time expiredand sending the game intoovertime.Overtime was just as in-

tense as regulation play. Eachteam was searching for a goalto claim the victory. Theovertime rules for boyslacrosse meant that whichev-er team scored first duringthe overtime period wins thegame.

With 1:52 left in the firstovertime period HaddonTownship took the 9-8 win.The goal came off the stick ofMitchell Gladden from tenyards out. It was his only goalof the game and marks Had-don Township’s first win as avarsity program.Despite the loss, Lassen

has not lost any faith in histeam and was impressed withwhat he saw on the field.“Some of my players

played the game of their livestoday,” stated Lassen. “Theyplayed the best they’ve everplayed and to me, as a coach,that’s all you ask for.”Schwartz finished the day

with four goals for PointBoro, two of which tied thegame in regulation. Team-mate Youmans finished withtwo goals and two assists.From the stands, some-

times it is hard to tell what isbeing relayed from thecoaches to the players duringthe game. Lassen, a very ani-mated head coach, is alwaysurging his players to reachfor their fullest potential.“I always say to my players

that if I’m not yelling at you,then you should worry,” heexplained. “When I yell atthem, I ask, ‘why am I yellingat you?’ And they always saythe same thing, ‘because Ihave potential coach’.”Youmans and Schwartz

were two such players thattapped into that potentialThursday and Lassen hopesto see them improve evenmore as the season carrieson.Standing tall in goal for the

Panthers was junior Ryan Be-dle, who has come a long waysince the season started.“Ryan Bedle is unbeliev-

able. He’s only been playinggoalie for a year and it lookslike he’s been playing sinceseventh grade,” said Lassen.Lassen is proud of Bedle’s

progress, saying, “He has re-ally picked up his game, he’sfearless in goal, and I hopethe Shore Conference iswatching him because I thinkhe is one of the bettergoalies.”“He is the catalyst of our

defense. When he’s playingwell, we’re all playing well.We just came up one goalshort this game,” he added.Point Boro went on to play

a strong Barnegat team onthe road Saturday. They lostby a score of 18-2.They recovered a bit from

the loss to the Bengals andfaced off against DonovanCatholic on Monday. PointBoro lost the away matchup14-9.On Wednesday they lost to

St. Rose on the road 15-7.Bedle tallied 15 saves and

Ceres finished with two goalsand an assist in the loss.Next up for the Panthers is

Jackson Liberty. They arescheduled to play tomorrowat home with faceoff set for3:30 p.m.

Panthers drop thriller in overtime

The Point Beach trackand field team lost a lot ofseniors to graduation lastyear.This season, they have

been relying on a lot ofyoung talent to shoulder theburden.Kate Griffin, a freshman,

is one such athlete that hasanswered the call and

stepped up for the Gullsthis season.Griffin specializes in the

long jump and recently tookfirst place against a toughLong Branch team jumping14-02.5.She says her official long

is 14-03 but she has broken15-00 in practice.

“I want to be consistentlyhitting 15-00, that would benice,” said Griffin.Griffin got into the event

thanks to her mom, a longjumper as well.“My mom used to long

jump and she was reallygood at it. So she thoughtthat I could be good at ittoo,” said Griffin with asmile. “I guess im doingpretty well.”Griffin also plays soccer

but suffers from tendonitis,which she attributes to hertime on the soccer field.Recently she suffered an

up slip in her back while do-ing hurdles. She is happy tohave been able to pushthrough her injuries andsucceed at her event.As the Gulls team lacks

depth, Griffin also partici-pates in some sprints andoccasionally the relay.“I like those but jumping

is my favorite,” she stated.Griffin has a strong work

ethic and spends hours dur-

ing the week perfecting hercraft.“Most of the practices we

do a couple laps and then Igo out to practice longjump,” she explained. “I’musually there for an hourand half working on it.Then I have my mom helpme afterwards.”Griffin makes sure to lis-

ten to her mom and utilizesthe advice she offers.“She tells me to make

sure I get height and thatI’m running as hard as I canand getting up on the board.She tells me not to think toohard about it- just jump.”Only a freshman, Griffin

is excited about her futureathletic career at PointBeach.She aspires to be a leader

and a strong long jumperfor the Gulls.“I’m looking forward to

being able to make it tostates and maybe even takethe school record,” she said.

POINT BEACH BASEBALL NOTEBOOK

Gulls baseball unable to beat Purple Roses at home

BYDOMINICK POLLIOTHE OCEAN STAR

POINT BEACH— They say it ishard to beat a team twice.Point Beach found that outthe hard way when they host-ed St. Rose on Monday. Afterbeating the Purple Roses 11-0during their first meeting ofthe season, Point Beach lost8-3 through seven innings ofplay this week.“It was a simple game. We

came out here 11-0 in the firstgame- we knew that theywere coming at us witheverything today includingthe kitchen sink,” said Beachcoach Angelo Fiore. “For usto be successful in these biggames we got to make theroutine stuff. We had thematchups we wanted today,we got everything we wantedand we just didn’t make theroutine play.”The Gulls committed four

errors in the loss while St.Rose was errorless on de-fense.

The game was close tostart as both teams scored arun in the first inning.St. Rose then came out in

the top of the second and bat-ted in two more runs to takea 3-1 lead.Point Beach responded one

inning later with two runs oftheir own to even the gameout at three. The Gulls wereon the verge of taking thelead in the third with thebases loaded and only oneout.The Purple Roses called in

a new pitcher, Jason Criscuo-lo, who struck out the nexttwo Point Beach batters toget out of the jam.The two teams remained

tied through the fourth in-ning and then St. Rose piledon three runs in the top of thefifth inning.Point Beach had a tough

time getting runners acrossall four bases and went score-less in the fifth.The defense played well at

the end, holding the PurpleRoses to a scoreless sixth in-ning.In the bottom of the sixth

the Gulls went down one,two, three on a ground out, a

strike out and anotherground out.On the mound for the

Gulls was John Nista and heseemed to be showing signs

of fatigue in the top of the fi-nal inning. After securingtwo outs the Gulls gave uptwo more runs to St. Rose,falling behind 8-3. They se-

cured the final out on a flyball to left field.With one last chance at bat

Point Beach went to work onoffense against a new St. Rosepitcher. John VanSchoickopened the inning with adouble that bounced over thecenterfield fence. He thenstole third while teammateAndrew Allegreta waswalked to put runners on thecorners.Unfortunately for the

Gulls, Nista lined out toshort, Joe Delgrippo struckout, and catcher Ryan Fran-zoni hit a high fly ball to cen-ter field to end the game.It was a tough loss espe-

cially at home but St. Rose isa tough team and the victorymarks their 10th win in a row.The Gulls were the last teamto defeat the Purple Roses.Fiore was disappointed

with his team’s inability tomake the routine plays butwas proud of his pitcher onthe mound.“John Nista- the kids a

freshman, man. That kid isabove and beyond right now.That kid just came out herethrew 100 pitches today andpitched seven innings againsta team that should be ranked

in the state,” stated Fiore. “Af-ter this game they’re going tobe ranked in the Shore. As faras I’m concerned he con-trolled them. He did every-thing he had to do. The onlything we had to do was makethe routine plays and wefailed on some of that stuff.”While he did not want to

take away from the effortboth teams put forth, Fioresaid, “Some of the bounceswent their way and didn’t goour way. It’s a hard playingsurface but, I mean, they [St.Rose] made the plays so youhave to give those guys thecredit over there.”The big game is over and

done with and the series be-tween the Garnet Gulls andthe Purple Roses was split.Fiore and the baseball teampicked their heads up andlooked ahead to preparing forthe next game.“We got to come back, we

need to figure it out, we gotto make the adjustments andwe go play Mater Dei onWednesday.”Despite racking up 11 hits

against Mater Dei onWednesday, the Gulls onlyscored three runs.All three runs came in the

Point Beach lost 7-3 andcommitted five errors duringthe game.Earlier in the week the

Gulls took to the field againstKeyport. In a high scoring af-fair, Point Beach claimed thevictory 13-9 through seven in-nings of play.After three innings of play

the game was tied at three.

In the top of the fourth theGulls held Keyport scorelessand then batted in five runswith their turn at bat.In the fifth inning Keyport

answered with only one run.Point Beach continued hittingand scored another five runsin the bottom of the fifth.Keyport was not counted

out just yet as they fueled afive-run comeback in the

sixth inning to come withinfour runs of Point Beach.The Gulls could not add to

their lead in the bottom of thesixth and only had to holdKeyport back in the top of theseventh for the victory.The defense stepped up

and kept Keyport scoreless toclaim the 13-9 win at home.Both teams tallied up 13 hits

and Point Beach committed

two errors while Keyportcommitted zero.Nista pitched five innings

for the Gulls, striking out fourbatters. VanSchoick closed itout with one strikeoutthrough two innings pitched.At the plate Mike Frauen-

Gulls hang on to beat Keyport, fall to Mater Dei on the roadBASEBALLFROM PAGE 35

the high-caliber opponents,Colonna was happy with histhrow team’s performance,saying, “We had a lot of guysthat had pretty good perform-ances in the throws, but it’stough when you go againstthese guys from Central andBarnegat. You have a lot of Di-vision I caliber athletes thatwe’re facing, and our guys justwork hard. To be able to get acouple of PRs out of it, that’shuge.”While the throws team was

doing their best to keep upwith the competition, the polevault team took care of busi-ness against both Barnegat andCentral.Harry VanWagenen cleared

10-06 for third and JoshSchlanger cleared 11-06 forsecond place.Taking first place and com-

pleting the sweep for Boro wasNick Val-Stein, who hit a per-sonal best clearing 13-00.“I feel good,” Val-Stein said

after the win. “Two PRs back-to-back, so I’m having a prettysolid season.”He had set a personal record

last week hitting 12-06 andnow he has set his sights onclearing 13-06. He has dedicat-ed a lot of time to his craft, andColonna recognizes the effort.“He’s been working pretty

hard this season and he’s real-ly trying to advance throughthe gauntlet all the way to theMeet of Champs,” statedColonna. “He’s setting himselfup, now it’s just a matter ofcontinuing to work hard and Ithink his performance defi-nitely speaks volumes for hiswork ethic.”Val-Stein shows no signs of

stopping, saying, “I’ve beenjust getting out here everydayand jumping. I’m shooting for

14-00 this season by Meet ofChamps time.”Colonna is happy to have

such a hard worker on histeam and commended Val-Stein’s victory in the polevault.“For him, that’s a huge moral

victory at a meet like today —especially against huge com-petition like Barnegat andCentral,” explained Colonna.“It’s no joke, they’re traditionalpowerhouses in our division.So for him to come out on topagainst these guys is a hugevictory for him.”On the track, the Panthers

were firing on all cylindersand reeled in some strong fin-ishes.In the mile run, junior Dylan

Peters finished first with ablazing time of 4:34.“I think I did a good job. I

PRed by a second, so I’m hap-py with it,” he said after therace. “I thought it was good. Ididn’t really think I would beable to do that today but withthe competition I had, it madeit possible.”Going up against strong

competition like Barnegat andCentral Regional really helpedpush him as hard as he couldgo.“It’s definitely some good

confidence moving into ourchampionship season in May,”Colonna said, looking ahead.“So for him, that’s going to besomething to build upon andkeep continuing to improveand just working hard. Thiswas the little boost of confi-dence he needed as well.”Some controversy unfolded

during the start of the 400-me-ter run. Panther Ryan Griffithwas not set on the blocks andtried his best to signal to thereferee firing the starting gun,but she missed him and sentthe runners on their way.Unsure whether to run or

stay, Griffith decided to runthe race, starting a few sec-

onds behind the rest of thecompetition.In an amazing turn of events

and a display of pure athleti-cism, Griffith overtook four ofthe runners on the track toplace second overall.“For coming out of nowhere

off the ground and just shoot-ing that up — it wasn’t bad,”said Griffith, who was disap-pointed with the poor start.“It’s my first race back all sea-son since I was injured for alittle bit.”He had been sidelined due

to tendonitis in his knee, butwas still proud of his time of52.0. Griffith also recognizedthe work he needs to put in inorder to meet his goals thisseason.“The Ocean County Relays

are coming up Friday andOcean County Championshipsthe weekend after that, so I’vegot work to do.”

Point Boro had a couple oth-er strong finishes in the rest ofthe distance events.Joe Busichio won the 800-

meter run with a time of 2:04;not his best, but a time he hasbeen hitting consistently thisyear.“I felt it was a good race. It

felt really hard because Ihaven’t been in a race in twoweeks. I felt I did alright, de-cent for myself,” said Busichio.The senior is working hard

to beat the school record be-fore the season is done, saying,“I’m trying to break 2:00 andthe school record is like 1:58, soI’m trying to break that, too.”In the two-mile run, An-

drew Svensson went in with aplan and ended up finishing insecond place with a time of10:28.“Well, what I tried to do was

latch onto the Central kid andthat was my motivation, be-cause I know he’s a very good

runner,” said Svensson. “Thatwas basically my goal of therace and at the end I struggleda little bit but I felt good.”Svensson ended up setting a

new personal record, beatinghis old time by 11 seconds.“That was a PR. My previ-

ous was 10:39, so it was an 11-second improvement — thatwas a great improvement forme, and I felt good about that,”he said with a smile.Colonna was happy with

Svensson’s performance.“Andrew Svensson is anoth-

er guy who is usually over-shadowed by some of the oth-er athletes we have,” he said.“Today we cut him loose andhe stepped up big for us. Hemay not have won the meet,but for a guy like that to per-form the way he did and PR —it just speaks for his work eth-ic and the effort he puts in.”Svensson is only a junior

and is looking forward to step-

ping up as a leader his senioryear.“I just want to try to lead the

pack and try and get those firstplaces for the team,” statedSvensson. “That’s basically mygoal, is to keep training and goout in my senior season with abang and lead those races.”Coach Colonna was pleased

with his team’s performancedespite it culminating in a loss.He was overjoyed with all thepersonal records set Tuesdayand is looking forward to May.“These guys just don’t quit

and they’re a pretty goodgroup of guys. We’ll be back atit and we’ll be looking to makesome noise Friday down atSouthern Regional,” he said.“That’s really what we’ve gotour eyes set on. This is behindus so we’re going to get backout there and keep workinghard and see what we can do.”

time we didn’t make contactat all.”Ferullo and his team knew

they were going to face atough pitcher on the moundbut did not think they wouldbe able to hit the ball andscore some runs.“We got two hits in the

game,” said Ferullo. “And thegirl struck out 12 or 13 kids.We knew it was going to hap-pen, but you got to get upthere.”He knows the loss hurts,

but he was proud of the waythe girls bounced back onWednesday against the Lake-wood Piners. Point Borowalked away with a 17-3 vic-tory.In the first inning, the Pan-

thers wasted no time at theplate. They batted in sevenruns before Lakewood got its

turn at bat in the bottom ofthe inning. The Piners man-aged one run before Borofound the third out.The Panthers continued

batting strong in the secondinning, adding six more runsto their total. On defense,they kept Lakewood score-less.In the third they tacked on

one more run, and Lakewoodclosed out the inning withtwo runs of its own.“They’re a feisty team.

They’re getting better as faras hitting,” Ferullo said aboutthe Piners. “Their first fourgirls came out swinging thebat and they got a couple ofhits each, so I give them thatcredit.”The fourth inning re-

mained scoreless for bothteams. Amanda Caputo wason the mound for Point Boroand was doing a good job ofgetting Lakewood batters toground out. She also record-

ed a strikeout in the bottomof the fourth.In the top of the fifth in-

ning Point Boro really battedaround. The Panthers loadedthe bases with the first threebatters and Melisso Alfonsohit a line drive to left field foran RBI single.Mary McKeon then hit a

hard grounder to third thatthe Piner third basemancould not handle. The hit wasgood enough for a single andanother Boro RBI.With the bases still loaded,

the Panthers hit two moresingles for two RBIs. Thefirst out came when McKeonwas caught leaving the baseearly. Sam Inneo then hit a flyball to center field for thesecond out of the inning. Af-ter Caputo was walked, the fi-nal out came on a pop fly tothird.Point Boro closed out the

bottom of the fifth inning toclaim the 17-3 win.

“It’s a tough game to play.We came out, we hit the ballwhen we had to hit it,” saidFerullo.He also explained that

sometimes it is hard for thegirls to go against a slowpitcher after facing pitchersthat throw at higher speeds.He noted the Panthers will

have to work hard in practiceto get back up to speed, say-ing, “It makes it hard becausenow you’re going to goagainst kids that throw a littleharder, so we need to adjustreal quick. We need to workon a lot of stuff in practice toget out of this mode. It’stough to hit pitchers likethis.”Point Boro will take the

field today against JacksonLiberty at home. The game isscheduled to begin at 3:45p.m.

POINT BEACH SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK

Garnet Gulls’ winning streak at home ends


POINT BEACH — On Mondaythe Garnet Gulls took to thefield against the Purple Rosesof St. Rose for the secondtime this season. Last timethe two teams played PointBeach lost by one run. Thistime St. Rose’s pitcher BrianMcInernney took controlfrom the mound, handing theGulls a 5-0 loss at home.“The zero was the differ-

ence today on our side. Imean we just didn’t hit her[McInernney] today.She threw well and she

kept doing the same thing,”explained Point Beach coachSilvio DeCristofano. “Shekept hitting the outside partof the plate and so it was hardfor our girls to get anythingon it. That was really the sto-ry, once we were down evena little bit.”The first two innings were

dead even. Both defenseswere collecting groundersand delivering them to firstwithout a problem. Bothpitchers were deliveringstrikes and making it difficultfor the batters to make solidcontact.In the top of the third in-

ning the Purple Roses brokethrough the Gulls’ defense.After Point Beach pitcherKylee Kells gave up a singleto left field and another sin-gle on a hard grounder toshortstop Alexa Russell, shestruck out the next batter onthree straight pitches.The next batter proved

more difficult, hitting aground ball up the middle fora single and an RBI for thefirst run of the game.The runners on base then

stole second and third on anerrant pitch. Brianna McCar-ren of St. Rose patiently wait-ed for her pitch and launcheda three-run home run overthe left field fence to put thePurple Roses up 4-0.“It was a changeup and she

[McCarren] was lookingchangeup,” said DeCristofanoabout the pitch from Kells. “Itwas a perfect time to throw a

changeup unless she waslooking for it, and she was.”The Gulls did not let the

inning get out of handthough. The second out cameon a ground ball to thirdbaseman Sarah Scott, whomade the throw over to firstwith plenty of time to beatthe batter.Kells took the third out on

her own, striking out the nextbatter with three pitches.DeCristofano was not too

worried about the score see-ing as it was still early in thegame.“It was early and there was

plenty of time, I didn’t reallytell them anything different. Isaid let’s get on base and let’schip away at it,” he stated.“Let’s make them nervous, noteam likes when a team startscoming back. I told them wedon’t need to get four backjust one or two. It just didn’twork out for us.”Try as they must, Point

Beach just could not get solidcontact against McInernney,who finished the game with11 strikeouts while only allow-ing three hits.The Gulls were able to get

runners on base throughoutthe rest of the game but couldnot get them across homeplate.“I think we got the lead off

runner on three or four of theinnings and you need to

score then,” said DeCristo-fano after the loss. “Then wewere able to move the girlsover but we just didn’t getthem in. You’re not going tobeat anyone not scoring sohopefully we break out of it.”He also commended the St.

Rose coach for switching uphis batting order. Accordingto DeCristofano the PurpleRose coach had switched hisfour, five, and six batters withhis seven, eight, and nine bat-ters, adding strength to thebottom of his order.His strategy worked and St.

Rose tacked on one more runin the top of the seventh in-ning.With one last at bat to tie

or win, Point Beach could notget it done offensively andtook the 5-0 shutout loss athome.DeCristofano was still hap-

py with how Kells handledthe rest of the game after giv-ing up the home run.“She bounced back and

then she was real strong therest of the way. We gave upthat one at the end but she re-ally settled down and I’mproud of her for that,” he said.“Knowing that she can dothat and come back is good. Ifwe start making runs, thegame changes.”On defense the Gulls had a

couple players stand out, in-cluding Russell and Scott,

and DeCristofano offeredwords of praise to thosemembers of the team.“It’s almost like I take her

for granted, she’s been doingit for four years at secondbase and now shortstop. It’sthis time of year, she’s a sen-ior and you start thinking,boy what am I going to dowithout her,” he said aboutRussell. “She’s always beenthere and plays so solid.Everyone knows she’s there.Some of those plays weretough- the surface was realhard today so things were re-ally popping at you but shemade every play except forthat tough one that got awayfrom her.”He was also proud of his

third baseman, saying, “Ithought Sarah Scott had areal nice defensive day too.”

He referenced a play in thetop of the seventh inningwhere St. Rose laid down abunt and Scott jumped on itfaster than lightning makingthe throw to first well beforethe runner arrived.All in all, as DeCristofano

pointed out, if the GarnetGulls were able to producesome runs offensively theoutcome might have beenmuch different. Regardless,him and his team are ready tomove forward and learn fromthe loss.“These are the things we

build on,” said DeCristofano.“Even in a game like this, yousay, listen, look at all thethings we did right.”Point Beach was coming

off a big win against Keyporton the road last Thursday.The Gulls won 12-1 in five in-

nings. Kells pitched all five,striking out 10, walking none,and only gave up three hits inthe victory.On Wednesday the team

went up against a toughMater Dei team on the road.The Gulls were shut out 5-

0 and only recorded four hitsin the game.Russell went 1-for-2 at the

plate and Kells struck out fivebatters on the mound.Point Beach will be back in

action today against Ranney.The game is at home andscheduled to start at 4 p.m.

The Garnet Gulls were able to hit the ball and get on base against St.Rose. Once on base they had difficulties moving the runners tohome.

a time of 1:07.06.Freshman Brittany Richard-

son had a first place finish inthe mile with a time of 6:22.Madeline White claimed sec-ond place with a time of 6:31.Richardson also wasted no

time in the two-mile placingfirst with a time of 14:29.In the 800-meter run

Brooke Perna ran 3:01.1 whichwas good enough for thirdplace.Barnes took second place in

the 200-meter dash [28.74].Griffin ran the event and fin-ished less than a second afterBarnes but it was not goodenough for third place.In the 100-meter dash Nico-

laides took second place witha quick time of 13.91.In the hurdle events, fresh-

man Carly Kelly took first inthe 100-meter hurdles [24.00]and second in the 400-meterhurdles [1:22.47]. DeSocio alsoran the 100-meter hurdles, fin-ishing second with a time of24.62.The girls team also strug-

gled against Long Branch onMonday but had a couple firstplace finishes.

Gesumaria claimed first inthe 400 with a time of 1:06.Richardson finished first inboth the mile and the two-milerun. In the mile she ran 6:25and in the two-mile she ran15:56.DeSocio clocked in at 20.5 in

the 100 hurdles for a first placefinish. In the javelin throwBecker finished first throwing66-11. Griffin won the longjump with a jump of 14-02.5.Senior Katie Frio is proud of

the way the younger girls havecome along this season, say-ing, “I think we’re doing prettywell, a lot better than Ithought,” stated Frio. “Thefreshmen are really good andeveryone is stepping up.”The younger athletes are

not the only ones stepping upas Frio ran the two-mileagainst Long Branch in orderto not sacrifice points. She didnot push herself as hard in the800 so she could be competi-tive in the two-mile run.“I did better last week be-

cause this week I was savingmy energy for the two mile,”explained Frio. “We needed toget the points so I said I’d doit.”According to Evans, he has

been losing some athletes toinjuries they suffered outsideof track and field.

A few of his players partici-pate in club soccer and hurtthemselves participating inthat sport. As Evans said be-fore, their team is small anddoes not have a lot of depth tomake up for injured athletes.“We don’t have a lot of

depth to begin with and peo-ple are running events they’renot used to because we’re justtrying to plug events,” Evanssaid.The Gulls are looking to

push through the injuries andfind talent for each eventwhether it is young talent orold talent.Savage and Frio are confi-

dent that the Point Beach teamwill see more success this sea-son and they are aiming high.“I definitely want the girls

and the boys to beat Ranneyand Mater Dei. I think we dohave a good chance this year,”said Frio.“I definitely want to beat

both those teams and finishwith as many wins as we canget — both individually and asa team,” added Savage.

SpringLake will be stocked threetimes during the season bythe State but not closed tofishing. The trout stockinghotline is 609-633-6765.I keep saying that the ocean

water temperatures are goingto warm into the mid-fiftiesthis upcoming week and thestriped bass fishing will takeoff but call me a liar as such isnot the case. This past week-end ocean temperatures didnot show an improvementand remained below 50degrees. Over the weekendocean temperatures werehovering around 48 degrees.Several party boats did headout to look for striped bassbut found none.The striped bass action

remains centered in RaritanBay with plenty of bass beingcaught by boaters that are net-ting bunker and live lining orchunking. Fish up to 35pounds are being caught withlimits easily taken and many

more released. The otheraction is that big racer blue-fish in the seven to 12 poundrange have flooded intoBarnegat Bay.John over at Betty and

Nick’s in Seaside Park report-ed “Giant blues are all overthe bay. This past weekendthe reports of the big blues inthe Toms River were underexaggerated. It was an epicslaughter this morning asKeith Seiler and his buddyand few other guys mauled50+ blues on whatever youthrew at them. Poppers, SPMinnows, and Deadly Dicks.”It would be my guess that

these blues are moving upfrom the south along thebackside following theIntercoastal Waterway andnot along the oceanside dueto the extremely cold oceantemperatures at this time.These blues should maketheir appearance here in theback of the Manasquan Riverright about now. On the out-going tide look to catch theseblues over the rail in theManasquan Inlet. Every yearby May 1st they are beingcaught.In the surf along our beach-

es some small bass are beingcaught on clams, small bunkerchunks, and bloodworms areworking for surf fishermenthat are trying in bothMonmouth and Ocean coun-ties. Plug fishing is not pro-ductive at this time due to thecold water.Blackfish season will close

from May 1 through July 16and then reopen from July 17through November 15 with aone fish daily bag limit at 15inches. The season will finishfrom November 16 through

December 31 with a six fishdaily bag limit at 15 inches.Bottom fishermen are sayingthe action was decent for theearly April season we justhad. The big news for the firstpart of the blackfish seasoncomes out of Cape May wherea pending New Jersey StateRecord was caught.On April 17th Frank

LaMorte, fishing on boardCaptain Tom Daffin’s “Fishin’Fever IV” out of Utsch’sMarina caught a 33 inch, 25.37pound blackfish on a 130 footwreck. The big fish wasweighed in at Jim’s Bait andTackle, Cape May. LaMortecaught the blackfish on awhite legger crab on a 5/0

o.k. in all of our back riversand bays. The best action isstill on the outgoing tide.Getting your two fish limithas been common. Daily baglimit for winter flounder istwo fish measuring at least 12inches.The next meeting of the

Manasquan Fishing Club willbe this Friday May 1st at theManasquan Women’s Club, 62Main St., starting at 7:30 p.m.The club has announced CarlBenson, an advisor to the

Mid-Atlantic MarineFisheries Council who is alsoan avid fisherman, especiallyfor fluke, will give a power-point presentation on the besttype of hooks to reduce mor-tality of fluke. New membersare always welcome.”Bob over at Fishermen’s

Den in Belmar reports “Whathappened, we had one goodday off our shore and now nofish. The bass seem to be onthe run. The Raritan River isred hot but the Chesapeakefish are taking their time mov-ing up. There are blues in theBarnegat and Manasquanrivers from four to 12 poundsand are being caught on anymetal or plugs but watch thetreble hooks. Winter flounderfishing had its ups and downsthis week with the Oceancounty area holding an edge.The Point Pleasant Canal hadsome blues, small bass, black-fish, and flounders caught this

past week. There are somereports of bass taken in theMonmouth and Ocean countysurf on clams and worms.Look for the action to breakopen any day.”Captain Joe Bogan of the

TIP OF THE WEEKFROM JIM FREDA

Casting a surface popperfor big blues in the backbay will produce very well.Remove all the treble hooksand replace with a singletailing J-hook with whitebucktail. This will help tofacilitate getting the hookout while reducingmortality when releasingthe blues.

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA

Children’s fishing contest this weekend

the top of the first inning. Thelast two of those runs came ona single from Gabe Pesante, andthe Panthers did their best tobuild on that lead.In the second inning, Central

Regional bounced back withthree runs and Point Borotacked on one more with theirturn at bat to take a 6-3 lead.In the third inning, the Pan-

thers added another run, butCentral answered with a run inthe fourth to keep the Pantherlead to three.The Panthers were yearning

for another win to get to .500 onthe season so they went towork with their turn at bat inthe fourth and fifth innings.They batted in two in the

fourth and one more in thefifth. This gave the Panthers a10-4 lead, which they held on tountil the end of the game.“It was a big game, we were

trying to get back to .500, theywere trying to get to .500.,” ex-plained Drew. “We came out onfire. We were hitting the crudout of the ball early and weplayed solid enough defenseand we got some very goodpitching.”The game started with junior

Tim Rossi on the mound, buthe had to leave after taking a

cleat to the shin that requiredstitches in the second inning.Falconetti stepped up for Boroand closed out the last five in-nings.“Tim Rossi got hurt in the

first two innings of the gameand Micahel Falconetti came inand closed the door for five in-nings, which is just an out-standing job by him,” saidDrew.Happy with the win and

back at .500, the Panthers want-ed to keep it that way as theytraveled to take on Lakewoodon Wednesday.Point Boro won the away

game 7-4 but did not really havethe game until the sixth inning.“I think we put a little pres-

sure on ourselves and maybethat’s why we were down,” saidDrew. “But when we stared torelax we got some better at batsand then got some really goodpitching from Josiah to shut thedoor there.”In the first inning Boro took

a one-run lead. Lakewood an-swered in the second inningwith two runs for its first leadof the game.Boro snatched the lead back

with two runs in the top of thethird inning with two runs.The Lakewood Piners were

not going down easy, though,and they batted in two runs totake a 4-3 lead in the bottom ofthe fourth.

The Panthers could not re-take the lead in the top of thefifth inning and found them-selves in a small jam on defensein the bottom of the inning.Mark Leyble started the

game on the mound. In the fifthinning, he managed to get thefirst batter to ground out toshort but then gave up a singleand another single on an error.Drew decided it was time for

a new arm on the mound andpassed the ball to Gliddon.Gliddon took care of the next

two batters with a pop out toleft field and a strikeout on fivepitches.With some momentum

brewing Point Boro started offthe sixth inning strong. Theygot two runners on base off of asingle and a walk. The Pinersthen decided to bring in a newpitcher as well.The Panthers took advantage

of the newcomer, hitting a sin-gle to load the bases. Bill Fee-han was then walked, whichbrought home a run to tie thegame at four.Frank Graziano then hit an

RBI single to take the lead.Lakewood scooped up the hitand secured an out at third.Sebastian Severio was then

walked to load the bases againbefore Gliddon struck out forthe second out. Quinn Hornishthen hit a high fly ball to shal-low right field that the Pinersecond baseman could not reelin. The hit resulted in two RBIsand the inning ended on astrikeout for Lakewood.

Point Boro had claimed a 7-4lead, which it kept to win thegame.Gliddon pitched a strong

bottom of the sixth inning withtwo strikeouts and a fly out toSam Monaco at shortstop.The Panthers did not add to

their total in the final inningand found themselves in a jamin the bottom of the seventh.After striking out one batter

and securing the second out ona ground ball, the bases wereloaded for Lakewood.Gliddon, only a sophomore,

did not waver though andstruck out the final batter onfour pitches to claim his firstvarsity win.Gliddon was happy with his

first win. He also felt that eventhough it’s a team sport, he hadto be the one to shoulder theburden during the jam.“I put it on myself,” said Glid-

don. “It’s a team effort but youhave to get the job done.”Drew was proud of the

sophomore’s performance andthe team as a whole, saying, “Itwas a big game for us and Lake-wood is a very dangerous team.Their record doesn’t dictatewho they are or what they’recapable of. They’re a goodsquad and have some goodplayers on their team.“We were fortunate enough

to put some balls in play andone big error and we’re on theplus side,” he added.Point Boro will be back in ac-

tion today against Jackson Lib-erty. The game is at home andscheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m..
