With a young roster and only ahandful of Division I players, theTarheels have sputtered to an 0-10record during the regular season. Theirplayoffs begin this week, but given theJSBL’s history it would not be wise tocompletely discount the underdogs.

They are set to face South Divisionchampion Sterns Trailer (8-2) in theopening round at 8:45pm on Tuesdayat St. Rose High School.

Leading the New Jersey Tarheels isMonmouth University’s AndrewNicholas and Rutgers University’sMalick Kone. Nicholas lit up the gymfor 39 points while adding 15 reboundsand four assists against Team Shore

last week. He’ll be a key player for theHawks this winter as they look tobecome a contender in the NortheastConference under Head Coach KingRice. His Monmouth teammate,Marcus Ware, chipped in 19 points inthe same game. Ware is coming off aseason-ending knee injury and shouldbe a big part of the Monmouth lineupnext season.

Rutgers forward Malick Kone hasalso had some huge games this sum-mer. He poured in a game-high 42points in a 124-105 loss to top seedSeaview Jeep last week. Kone alsoadded 12 boards and seven assists. Hedueled Rutgers teamate Eli Carter whoscored 35 points but got the victory.

By Ted KaiserBELMAR— The Jersey Mike’s Jersey ShoreBasketball League South Division crown camedown to the final night of the regular season. SternsTrailer needed a win or a T&T Coast loss to clinchfirst place. As it turns out, they got both. Sternsimproved to 8-2 overall with a 112-111 victory overStevens Gutter Cleaning. The ending was not with-out controversy. The game was tied at 109 whenWally Judge was likely fouled and turned the ballover. On the ensuing possession, Blake Hamiltonwent to the foul line where he made the first andDerrick Randall put back a miss on the second fora 112-109 lead. A three-point attempt by MylesMack just before the buzzer was off and a reboundputback made up the final score.

Sterns’ Derrick Randall led all-scorers with 35points and 18 rebounds. The Rutgers sophomorehas played very well in the Jersey Shore BasketballLeague ( JSBL) this summer which could portendbig things for next season. Randall broke out as afreshman in an upset win over Florida where he hadfour points and eight rebounds off the bench. In thiscontest, he was opposite fellow Scarlet KnightWally Judge who had 13 points and 18 rebounds.Another Rutgers starter, Myles Mack had 27 pointsfor Stevens Gutter Cleaning.

By Mike CelliI recently attended my

annual NBA seminar inNew York City for agents.This was our first seminarsince the ratification of thenew collective bargaining agreement. Aplethora of information was disseminated tous by the players association. What has nowbecome more apparent is that the NBA ismoving to expand to all global markets. Theupcoming Olympics will provide an amplestage for some of the NBA's current talent tocompete while the world is watching. Sportsare one of America's greatest exports. We willsee if this dream team lives up to its predeces-sors. The NBA has an opportunity to show-case its franchise and talent to the world.

As an American entity, it is the NBA's obli-gation to illustrate sportsmanship. I haveenclosed an excerpt from a memorandum theNBA has disseminated to its players. "As aNBA player, you are known and admired bycountless fans throughout North America andall around the world. Your status is the result

of the success of the League asa whole, which is itself due tothe efforts of the hundreds ofNBA players who playedbefore you and the efforts ofNBA teams to invest in and

promote the league and its players. The enor-mous popularity of the League and its playershas provided you with extraordinary opportu-nities for financial success both on and off theplaying court; it has also conferred on each ofyou an enormous capacity to influence peopleand events. Because of the close public atten-tion paid to all of your activities, because ofthe hard work and sacrifices of NBA playersthat preceded you, and because the continuedsuccess of the League, its teams, and its play-ers is the responsibility of each and every per-son involved in the NBA, you have an obliga-tion to conduct yourself both on and off thecourt in accordance with the highest possiblestandards".

I believe the memo serves as a shortreminder for all athletes to exercise respectfulconduct on and off the field. Enjoy the Games.

Athletes Always Responsible For Their Behavior

By Dr. BadeA common orthopaedic injury is jumper’s knee.

As the name implies, it is an injury associated withsports that require repetitive jumping and landing.Specifically, jumpers knee results from microtearsfrom overuse involving the patellar tendon. Thepatellar tendon is the soft tissue that extends fromthe inferior patella (kneecap) and attaches to theproximal tibia (shin bone). Symptoms are worsewith landing, when there is increased tension. Mostpeople will continue with their activities, which, inturn, increases pain. If athletes have chronic and per-sistent knee pain involving the patella tendon, theyshould seek the advice of an orthopaedic surgeon.

By Michael RogersLacrosse is quickly becoming the fastest growing

sport in America. There is an organization that isoffering cutting edge lacrosse with quality trainingfrom coaches with the experience and wisdom toteach kids the game of lacrosse establishing playerswith a high lacrosse IQ while at the same time stress-ing the fun of the game. United Lacrosse was formedin 2010 by Steve Carcaterra and Ric Beardsley whohad the vision, wisdom and experience to form thistop rate organization.

Steve Carcaterra and Ric Beardsley met on a PopWarner football field 25 years ago. As they began toplay football and lacrosse together their friendshipgrew as did their love of lacrosse. Moving onto highschool they attended rival high schools in Yorktownand Lakeland, New York and kept their friendly butcompetitive rivalry going, covering each other everytime they played and bringing out the best in eachother. With Carcaterra moving onto TowsonUniversity becoming a three-year starter and an All-American and Beardsley attending SyracuseUniversity and becoming a four- time Division I All-American, two- time National champion and eventu-ally playing professional lacrosse, their love oflacrosse not only continued but grew stronger.

They also saw a need for quality instruction andtraining and teaching kids the game that they lovedso much. United Lacrosse began in 2010 with 15boys’ teams training and playing throughoutMonmouth County as well as in Syracuse New York.United Lacrosse offers clinics, camps, private train-ing and summer travel teams giving young playersthe opportunity for truly learning the game oflacrosse and playing it at a competitive level whilehaving fun. There are now two youth girls’ teamswith older girls’ teams being added this year. AllyJoseph heads up the girls’ division and her experi-ence and knowledge of the game is second to none.Joseph was a four- time National Champion at

Northwestern University and is dedicated to passingher knowledge and love of the game to all of herplayers.

Aside from Carcaterra, Beardsley and Joseph’stremendous experience and love of the game, Unitedlacrosse also offers some of the most qualified

coaches and instructors in the game today for theirplayers. Kenny Sims was a first team All-American and two- time National Champion atSyracuse University. Brian Karlina was a firstteam All American and three- time defensive play-er of the year at Villanova University, and BrianCarcaterra was a three time All-American and aDivision I goalie of the year at Johns HopkinsUniversity. All of United Lacrosse’s coaches areextremely qualified and understand that the mis-sion of United Lacrosse is to offer the best trainingand instruction to kids while teaching them a highlacrosse IQ in a fun atmosphere. According toCarcaterra, “It’s the great coaches and support ofthe parents that do all of the extra work what helpmake us a successful organization”.

After offering the players the instruction andlacrosse IQ necessary to play the game at the high-est level possible, the United Lacrosse staff alsooffers players who have realistic dreams of playinglacrosse on the college level the opportunity to dojust that with their many college contacts.Carcaterra and Beardsley realize kids have dreamsand at United Lacrosse they offer kids who havethe talent, desire and love of the game a realisticway to reach their dreams. “As we continue togrow and our organizations reputation continues togrow from a local level to a National level, ourplayers will benefit from their hard work and ded-ication, “added Carcaterra.

With the boy’s division continuing with 15 teamsand the girls’ division expanding after a tremen-dous response this year, United Lacrosse will con-tinue to grow and be recognized as the top rated

organization it is. If you would like to get your chil-dren involved in learning an exciting sport UnitedLacrosse is what you are looking for. You can learnmore about United Lacrosse at [email protected] or call (732) 219-0556.

Mustangs Looking To Repeat As GoodSports ChampionsBy Eric BraunNEPTUNE — The Brick Memorial Mustangsonce again looked primed at making anotherrun at the High School Girls’ SoccerGoodSports Championships. Coming offlast summer’s success that featured eightincoming freshman on the Mustang steam,they ran away with the summer league cham-pionship.

This summer the Mustangs have once againsplit their varsity squad into three teams togenerate more playing time, touches on theball and team chemistry. All three teams sitat records of 5-0, with Brick Memorial I tiedwith Freehold Borough in the Varsity RedDivision and Brick Memorial II and III tiedatop of the Varsity White Division withOcean Township and Shore Regional keepingpace. While Memorial I and FreeholdBorough look like they are on the fast track to

the championship game on August 13th,Memorial II and Memorial III have to getthrough two feisty teams in Shore Regionaland Ocean Township twice in the next twoweeks, once in regular season play on July30th and then again in semifinal play onAugust 6th with the championship game tobe played on August 13th.

Combined, the Brick Memorial squads have112 goals for and only 25 goals against in fivegames and to say the Mustangs are clickingon all cylinders on offense may be an under-statement. With the success from last year’ssummer league title and an up and down highschool season, the Mustangs have become amore confident group by learning from eachother during every practice and game as theyget better as a team and not just on an individ-ual level. There are high hopes for theupcoming season for Brick Memorial.

A large contingency ofBrick Memorial playerswill be represented at theUnited States Club SoccerNational Cup XIChampionships inWaukegan, IL where theyare ranked ninth nationallywith Twin County RealMagic. The team is fourwins from being crownedNational Champions.

Paynter Wins Going Away To Give Baffert 3rd Straight Haskell WinPage 8 Jersey Sporting News • July 31 - August 14 Jersey Sporting News • July 31 - August 14 Page 9

By Eric BraunOCEANPORT — Jockey RafaelBejarano and Haskell favorite horsePaynter gave trainer Bob Baffert the per-fect remedy to his recent heart attack, agoing away win at the 45th running ofthe Grade I Haskell Invitational. BobBaffert, who suffered a heart attack backin March, was not able to make the tripfrom California to Oceanport this year,but Bejarano made sure to keep Baffert'sMonmouth Park running tradition intactby giving the Hall of Fame trainer histhird consecutive Haskell win and sixthoverall.

Paynter got out of the gate in excellentposition but allowed Gemologist to takethe early lead. According to Bejarno"we let Gemologist jump out to the earlylead and take the rail since we had theperfect horse to race outside today."

During the entire day the horses were getting a clear and fast run on theoutside with the fast track after all the rain over the past couple of days.Assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes hinted that the Travers Stakes would bethe next goal for Paynter, who has now reached over $1 million in earn-ings with the $600,000 Haskell purse. This was a major accomplish-ment since he did not race at allas a 2-year-old.

Paynter came into the Haskell after a runner-up finish in the BelmontStakes. The Haskell gave Paynter the fast track out of the shadow ofBodemeister, his stablemate and into position for 3- year- old Horse ofThe Year. Paynter entered the Haskell as the favorite due to the retire-ments of both I'll Have Another and Union Rags because of injuries,leaving the 3-year-old title up for grabs.

After clearing Gemologist who was the horse to beat and hearing theapproach of Nonios, Paynter found another gear leading up to the finalturn and quickly pulled away. Gemologist faded to finish last in a fieldof six. Paynter paid out $4.00, $2.60 and $2.40. Nonios finished sec-ond, a full 4 1/2 lengths ahead of Stealcase and paid out $5.20 and$3.80 while Stealcase paid out $5.00 to show. This was the first GradeI win for Paynter who will head back to California and begin trainingfor the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in late August.

By Ted KaiserBELMAR— The Larson Ford team inthe Jersey Shore Basketball League(JSBL) always seems to be a champi-onship contender year in and year out.While the names change over theyears, the formula of stocking the ros-ter with underrated players many ofwhom played at smaller Division IIand III schools has worked. This sum-mer’s team is led by former KeanUniversity player Jonathon Jones and

JSBL veteran guard Kareem Collinswho played at New Jersey CityUniversity (formerly Jersey CityState).

The Fordmen ended the regular sea-son with a 7-3 record, good enough forsecond place in the North Division.They won their last game before theplayoffs, a 119-93 victory over TeamShore. The contest was tied at half-time, but Larson Ford eventually woredown their opponents in the secondhalf. The Fordmen opened up a nine-point lead after three quarters and thenput the hammer down with a 34-17advantage in the fourth quarter.Jonathon Jones led the way with 29points. DJ Bacon tallied a double-

double with 17 points and 12rebounds. Point guard Ahmad Mosbydropped in 16 points and eight assists.

Bank in the game's final minutes.Following a Mike Venezia three-

pointer with under three minutesleft to play that gave Investors Banka nine-point cushion, Stevens wenton a 9-0 run and tied the game withless than 30 seconds left. WallyJudge put back a miss from Mack,who accounted for five of the ninepoints during the run and finishedwith a game-high 34 points.

With the game's final secondsticking away at the other end of thefloor, Mack and Judge's Rutgersteammate Dane Miller drove to thehoop looking to win it for InvestorsBank. His shot did not fall, butteammate Werner's last-second tip-

in did. A desper-ation alley-oopheave to Judgeat the oppositeend following a

timeout was broken up, allowingInvestors Bank to hang on.

Investors Bank was led in scoringby Nick Leon's 30 points. Werneradded 24 points along with a team-high 11 rebounds and four assists.Miller and Jerome Seagears eachscored 19 points respectively.

By Jim GarrettDisgrace is defined as “loss of honor, respect or reputation”. The tragedy that

took place at Penn State University is beyond any type of explanation thatwould justify the total neglect of the administration to stop the evil actions ofone of their employees who preyed upon young athletes attending a summercamp on their campus. The employee was allowed to violate the human dignity of the youthful

campers for a period of 10 years. The administration sought to cover up theseactions in order not to cast a poor image on the University. Specific detailswere relayed to the University administration and to the athletic administration.When a young camper is molested by a long time employee of the University,the University must act immediately to remove the employee and any access tothe campus facility and to immediately notify the proper authorities so that theycan begin to investigate the improper relationships between the Universityemployee and young campers.The predator was a former long time employee of the University and was

granted permission by the University to use their campus facilities in excess of10 years. The Board of Trustees who were parents themselves should havebeen irate that these sexual actions took place on their campus and had theirformer employee arrested.
