Falcons Jarmurz Retires after 32 SeasonsBy Michael Rogers

Ted Jarmurz has been

coaching high school baseball for 32 years and has been the coach at Monmouth Re-gional for the last 27 years. He decided that this would be his last season in coach-ing and his team gave him a season to remember as the Falcons won 17 games and won a sectional title before losing in the semifinals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II tournament to Cinnaminison by the score of 7 to 6.

Jarmurz got his start in coaching by pure luck as when he was at West Orange High School and ready to coach the Junior Var-sity team when a day before the season

began the varsity coach decided to not return and Jarmurz was given his first var-sity coaching job. He spent 5 years at West Orange before taking the head-coaching job at Monmouth Regional where he has been for the last 27 years. In his 32 years of coaching, he is 5th all time in victories with 464. At Monmouth Regional he has won a NJSIAA Group III championship in 2005, he has also won 3 sectional titles, 3 Monmouth County tournament titles, and 7 Shore Conference Tournament titles.

In 2003 when he won his 300th game in the first round of the Monmouth County Tournament he said, "I was amazed once I started to name the other coaches who have 300 wins. They are all guys I have coached

against in the twilight of their careers. Just being men-tioned in the same sentence as those guys is a great feeling."

This years’ team was a fit-ting final season for the coach as Monmouth Regional had a successful season and sent the coach into retirement with a great last season memory. On retiring he said, "I have been fortunate to have players, par-ents, administration, and assistant coaches that made all of my dreams come true."

Exciting season In Men And Ladie’s LacrosseBy Michael Rogers

TOMS RIVER – Saint John Vianney rallied from a 2-0 deficit in Sunday’s Non-Pub-lic A state final at Toms River North High School, tying the game in the fourth, and go-ing ahead for good with a tie breaking run in the fifth, for a 4-2 win over the states No.1 team, Immaculate Heart of Westwood (31-2).

The win was the Lancers (29-2) third state title in the last four seasons, sixth overall and avenged last year’s 3-0 loss to the Blue Eagles in the championship game. They also finish the season ranked No.1 in the state.

Immaculate Heart has won nine state group champion-ships in 17 appearances -- both state records -- and holds a 92-5 record over the past three seasons. The two schools have met in six Non-Public A championship games (1994, 2002-03-11-12-13), with both schools winning three.

Trailing 2-0, junior catcher/right fielder Kate Barron jump started the Lancers in the bot-tom of the fourth, drilling a first-pitch leadoff home run into deep center field that easily cleared the fences. It was Barron’s ninth dinger of the season and immediately changed the complexion of the game.

“This was definitely one of my biggest hits of my career so far,” Barron said. “I struck out my first at bat, so I was looking to see what I could do with the first pitch; I got what I was looking for. I didn’t think I hit it that well, it was a line drive. But when I saw it go over the fence I knew we were going to win. We were a little down after losing in the Shore Conference Tournament final, so this is a great way to end the season.”

“We needed a momentum starter and that’s exactly what Katie Baron did for us,” senior center fielder Amamda Dur-ham said. “She got the team going, got everything in play.”

Immaculate Heart jumped out two a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. After Lanc-er junior starter Katie Beriont retired the first two batters--one on an outstanding play by third baseman Marlena Bevilacqua-- junior Danielle Ibarra lined a shot over the shortstops head for a single. A walk and a wild pitch put runners at second and third and junior right fielder Rachel Pollard then lined a two-run single into right field.

Beriont (26-2) held the Blue Eagles scoreless the rest of the way giving up only two hits, but had to work out of jams in the second and fifth innings. After putting runners at first

and second in both innings with two outs, she ended the threats with strikeouts. Beriont walked four in the game and went to multiple 3-2 counts, but was able to make the big pitch when she needed it, striking out 12, including five of the last six outs.

Sophomore second baseman Erica Krumbine followed Bar-on’s home run with a single in the hole off the shortstops glove and sophomore right fielder Claire Stefanell pushed a bunt past the pitcher to put runners on first and second. After a strikeout, Bevilacqua bunted, but the throw to third sailed into left field and Kr-umbine scored the tying run.

Immaculate Heart pitcher, junior Steph Thomas (29-2), retired the next two batters but damage was done, as the Lancers capitalized on their game-tying momentum by scoring solo runs in both the fifth and sixth innings.

“After we tied the game I no-ticed the momentum shifting in our favor,” Saint John Vi-anney head coach Kim Lom-bardi said. “When we got it to 2-2 it seemed like they (Im-maculate Heart) were playing not to lose and we were play-ing to win. They’re a fantastic team and coached extremely well, but our kids just really picked it up.”

In the fifth, Beriont led off with a slow roller to second base that went for an infield hit, Baron reached on an er-ror and stole second, putting runners at second and third. After a strikeout, Stefanelli chopped a single off the shortstops glove into leftfield for the go-ahead run. Ste-fanelli was 3-for-3 batting out of the number seven hole and was involved in the tying and go-ahead runs.

“We found a home for Claire in the No.7 spot,” said Lom-bardi, whose team scratched and clawed its way to 10 hits. “A lot of teams don’t have a hitter like Claire at the bottom of the order, but we have a great hitter there, and that’s a huge advantage.”

The Lancers added an all-im-portant insurance run in the bottom of the sixth on a hus-tling heads-up play by Dur-ham. Durham chopped a hit through the hole and went all

the way from first to third on junior Jackie Gallagher’s per-fect sacrifice bunt down the third base line. On the play, Durham motored around second never stopping, slid-ing head first into third and into scoring position with only one out. Freshman DH Hel-ena Coppola then brought in the run with sacrifice fly to deep left center.

“If you want to win you’ve got to take chances,” said Durham, who committed to Bowling Green University. “That’s what it comes down too. I’m fast so why not go, that’s what my mindset was. I sensed I could make it; coach didn’t stop me, so I was going all the way. The two-run lead took a lot of pressure off the team. We played as a family and won as a family.”

“Amamda’s been my leadoff hitter for four years,” Lom-bardi said. “And all four years Amanda has been willing to

give herself up for the team. She’s my captain and I can’t say enough great things about Amanda. Taking third and scoring on the sacrifice fly was huge for us. It took a lot of pressure off Katie and the team. It’s hard for any team to score two runs in one inning on us with our defense, and Katie on the mound.”

The win gives Saint John Vi-anney three championships this season: the Monmouth County Tournament, the Non-Public Group A South and the Non-Public Group A State. They also won the Shore Con-ference Class A Central Divi-sion. It also eases the pain of losing to Toms River East in the Shore Conference Tour-nament championship game.

“This team has hit a spot in my heart forever,” Lombardi said. “They’re such nice girls from great families. I can’t say enough about this team; I love them.”

SAINT JOHN VIANNEY RALLYS FROM TWO DOWN TO BEAT NO.1 IMMACULATE HEART FOR NON-PUBLIC A STATE TITLEBy Mike Ready

WALL – Down 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning with the season on the line, the Crimson Knights had one thing working in their fa-vor; the top of the lineup was lead-ing off. Senior shortstop Sydney Canessa and junior catcher Dani Petrone, the No.1 and 2 hitters, had made just one out in their first six combined as bats and were due up for the Knights in Sunday’s Cen-tral Jersey Group III final.

Nottingham (19-7) had scored two runs in the top of the seventh to take a 5-2 lead, but Wall, which made five errors in the game, scored four runs in its final at bat to win it.

Canessa began the comeback with a single to center before Petrone and senior second baseman Ka-tie Kilgallen followed with singles up the middle to load the bases with no outs. Senior first baseman

Chickie Clayton then drilled an RBI single to left to pull Wall to within 5-3.

Sophomore left fielder Katie Wingel was up next for the surging Knights and reached on a fielder’s choice to third as Petrone slid home safely, just beating the throw to make it 5-4, still with no outs.

Senior centerfielder Amanda Prin-gle then laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt and all of a sudden the score was tied, with Kilgallen safe at home. Pringle was out at first on the play, but the Crimson Knights still had runners at second and third with only one out.

Freshman Casey DeSarno, who started at third base as the flex player, came up to pinch-hit and hit a grounder to second. Fresh-man Katrina Hand, pinch-running

for Clayton, beat the throw home for the game-winning run and was mobbed by her triumphant team-mates as she crossed the plate.

The sectional title was the first for Wall (25-5) since 2007, when they last won the overall Group III title.

Nottingham came into the game hot, winning 12 straight and 15 of their last 16 games while waltzing through sectional play shutting out Woodbridge at home, and both Middletown South and Ocean Township on the road to reach the final.

Nottingham’s freshman starter Kristen Hallman (15-4) took the loss going 6 1/3 innings, giving up 11 hits and striking out five. Hal-lam was also 3-for-4 with an RBI triple in the top of the seventh to make it 4-2.

Wall Freshman Jackie Howarth (18-4) went the distance for the Knights, picking up the win in a gutty performance.

Canessa was 3-for-3 with a double, walk and scoring twice. Petrone finished 3-for-4, scoring one run and driving in two for the Crimson Knights.

Walls post season magic continued in the Group III semifinals, as the Knights downed Gloucester Tech, 5-3, in nine innings. Wall led 3-1 going into the bottom of the sev-enth when Gloucester Tech (20-6) tied the game on a two-run home run by the Cheetahs Claire Lewis to send the game into extra innings.

After a scoreless eighth, Wall’s se-nior right fielder Sydney Mowen dropped a one-hopper over the left field fence for a double in the top of the ninth. Canessa then hit a grounder to short and was safe at first after the ball deflected off the first baseman’s glove and into foul territory, allowing Mowen to score

and Canessa to end up at second.

Petrone then lined a shot up the middle that the shortstop knocked down behind second base. Pertone beat the throw to first with Canessa running all the way on the play and scoring easily.

The Cheetahs managed to get a runner on second in the bottom of the ninth, but were unable to bring the run home and the Knights were heading to the Group III champi-onship game.

Howarth got the win and Mowen crushed her first career home run in the third to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.

The magic ran out on the Crimson Knights in the Group III champion-ship game, with a 4-2 loss to No.4 Indian Hills (32-3).

Indian Hills took a 4-0 lead, scor-ing one run in the third inning and three runs in the fourth.

Wall battled back with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, but that was all the Knights could muster in the disappointing loss.

Canessa led off the fourth with a double, stole third and came home on a throwing error for Walls first run. Petrone then drilled a pitch over the centerfield fence for her 16th homer of the season.

The loss was the final chapter of an incredible high school career of Lancer shortstop and Fordham University bound Sydney Canessa, who got her 200-career hit in the game. Canessa was 3-for-4 with two doubles, including her sec-ond of the day with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to keep the Knights hopes alive.

“Sydney’s a tremendous player, a gamer and a blue chipper,” Lancer head coach Toney Vodola said.

“She’s given us everything she’s got and she’s a huge reason we moved on in the playoffs. She com-mands leadership, not just playing, but also talking to and encourag-ing her teammates; she continued to do that today. She’s an inspira-tional leader and I’m going to miss her very much.”

“We fought to the last pitch of the last out,” Canessa said. “That just shows as a team the heart we have. It’s hard that we didn’t come out on top, but I’m so proud of my team for how far we’ve come. It was a tough journey and we surprised a lot of teams, but the whole way through we played for each other as a family.”

Vodola anticipates another strong team in 2014, especially with fresh-man hurler Jackie Howarth (18-4) returning with a year under her belt and playing off-season travel ball. Junior slugger Dani Pertone also returns, and Vodola expects her to be one of the most feared hitters in the Shore Conference next season.

The Crimson Knights (25-5) fin-ished the season ranked No.10 in the state.

JERSEY SHORE— The Ocean boys’ soccer team returned to prominence this year by winning their first Shore Conference Tournament title since 2001. The Spartans defeated Holmdel 2-0 in the final. Tyler Nowak had a pair of goals and goalkeeper Chris Seager preserved a shutout in net. But the Hornets had a strong season too. They reached the Group II Final for the second year in a row. Holmdel ultimately lost, but Zach Bond’s game winning goal in overtime in the Group II semifinals was one of the highlights of the season.

The girls’ had a little more success in the state tournament. St. Rose won the Non-Public South A sectional title in an All-Shore Conference fi-nal versus Mater Dei Prep. The Purple Roses shut out the Seraphs 3-0 thanks to goals by Lauren Gates, Shannon Burns and Amy White and strong goalkeeping from Jordan Nash. Shore Regional won the Central Jersey Group I title and reached the overall Group I final after beating Haddon Heights 2-1 in the semifinals. Caroline Slater and Samantha McDonough did the scoring with goals in the first half for the Blue Devils. Colts Neck and Red Bank Catho-lic reached sectional semifinals before falling. The Cougars caught fire at the right time of year despite being the 8th seed. It all began with a 3-2 victory over 9th seeded Middletown South in the first round. The game was tied 2-2 un-til the 79th minute when Amanda Visco scored what would be the eventual game-winner. Alison Russo and Danielle Krachie also had goals for the Cougars.

In the girls’ Shore Conference Tournament, Toms River North won it’s first ever champion-ship. Erika Pita scored in the first half to put the Mariners ahead for good as they earned a 2-0 win over top seeded and undefeated Freehold Township. Shannon Groffie added the second score. With the win Toms River North extended their win streak to 13 before losing to Toms River South in the opening round of the NJSIAA tour-nament and ending their season with a record of 17-2.

JERSEY SHORE— One could practically mark down the Shore Regional field hockey team as champions every year. The Blue Devils once again captured their spot at the top of the Shore Con-ference with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over division rival Rumson-Fair Ha-ven in the SCT Final. It was their 14th straight championship and 18th over-all.

Shore had three penalty shots in the first four minutes but was held to no goals thanks in part to the stellar goalkeep-ing from Rumson's Sarah Moore. The Bulldogs scored first in the 20th minute when Meghan Drastal found the back of the net.

But Shore woke up shortly after. Car-ol Middough picked up a loose ball around the net for and poked it through to tie the game at 1-1. A few minutes later, Shore took the lead for good when Middough scored from the top of the circle.

"This is a totally different group of kids then in the past and to win it with new players is like winning for the first time," said head coach Nancy Williams after the SCT victory.

Although RFH did not win the SCT, they did capture the North II Group II title. The Bulldogs shutout Madison 3-0. Madison Maguire scored twice and Emma Fitzgerald added the third score. Sarah Moore made 17 saves in net to preserve the shutout.

Freehold Township won the Central Jer-sey Group IV bracket with a 2-0 victory over Toms River North. Tori Boylan and Sydney Weise had goals for the Patriots who would fall to Eastern in the overall Group IV semifinals.

The Toms River South wrestling team had its’ year end on a positive note when se-nior B.J. Clagon wrapped up his 2013 campaign with a first place finish in the 145-pound weight class at the 2013 NJ-SIAA wrestling championships. Clagon, who finished the year with 44-0 record, won his second consecutive state title and finished his second undefeated season in a row.

“(Clagon) has been as dominant as any-one in the state,” Toms River South wres-tling coach Ron Laycock said following his senior’s state tournament victory. “In the last 85 matches he’s wrestled, he’s only had two decisions–last year’s (state) semis and this year’s finals.”

Clagon was also integral to Toms Riv-er South’s strong team performance throughout the season, which was also aided by standout performances from seniors Kevin Corrigan (39-2) and Matt Theobold (25-4), sophomore Joe Salvato (27-3), and freshman Owen McClave (39-5). Over the course of the year, the Indians won the Group 3 South cham-pionship and ultimately advanced to the Group 3 finals, beating Central, Group 3 champion Brick in the semis before fall-ing to South Plainfield. They also reached the Shore Conference Tournament finals as its top seed before falling to second-seeded Brick Memorial, with whom they shared the A-South championship.

Losing to Brick Memorial in tournament competition was by no means exclusive to the Indians. In addition to their Shore Conference title, the Mustangs also emerged as Central Group 4 champions and followed that sectional title by rout-ing Hackensack and scoring a 34-27 win over Southern Regional en route to a Group 4 championship. The Mustangs also convincingly won the District 23 title. Meanwhile, in spite of meeting a similar fate to TR South upon encountering the Mustangs, the Rams were still able to hang their hats on their third consecutive championships in South Jersey Group 4 as well as District 24, in which they edged out the aforementioned Indians. With a record of 35-3, senior Matt Moore was a top performer for the Mustangs with the junior tandem of Joe Ghione (35-4) and Nick Costa (29-4) also heavily respon-sible for their team’s overall success.

With a focus on 2013, Long Branch’s re-sume wound up looking fairly similar to that of the Rams. The Central Group 2 champions, Long Branch beat Voorhees in the Group 2 semifinals before losing 33-30 to High Point in the Group 2 fi-nals. Nevertheless, the Green Wave were able to claim a District 22 championship to go along with their sectional win. Se-nior Nick George posted a 31-3 record for the Green Wave.

Perennial A-North champion Howell also got into the act at districts, winning its second District 21 team championship in a row. Still, their string of district victo-ries lags behind their A-North title streak, which now sits at eight in a row. Senior Ben Esposito has been around for half of that streak and finished his high school career with a 38-3 record in his senior year. He was helped by newcomer Kris Lindemann, who went 28-2 in his fresh-man campaign.

In Non-Public South A, juniors Mike Ox-ley (34-5) and Erik Beshada (29-4) led CBA, which was able to capture the Non-Public South A title in defiance of its two seed with a convincing 45-23 win over top-seeded St. Augustine.

This past years high school football season was one of the most excit-ing seasons in years with many Shore Conference teams reaching sectional finals. From Manalapan (11-1) to Red Bank Catholic (10-1) to Shore regional (9-3) and Neptune (9-2) there were many wins and playoff excitement at the end of the season.

RBC was undefeated during the regu-lar season winning all 10 games they played by a combined 384 to 72, which includes 4 shutouts, and the Caseys scored more than 40 points 6 times. The Caseys couldn’t end the season with a win as they lost in the non public semifinals to St. Joseph by the score of 42 to 7. Along the way RBC won their third straight division title and defeated RFH by the score of 28 to 12 in the 30th edition of their Thanksgiving Day rivalry. Manalapan also had a great regular season winning 10 games in a row and reaching the NJSIAA Central Jer-sey Group 4 finals in the playoffs be-fore losing to South Brunswick by the score of 33 to 22. During their unde-feated regular season the Braves out-scored their opponents by the score of 389 to 136, which included 2 shutouts and scoring more than 30 points in a game 9 times.

Neptune finished the regular season with 2 losses but still reached the NJ-SIAA Central Jersey Group III finals be-fore losing by the score of 35 to 24. The Fliers defeated Allentown by the score of 28 to 21 and Lakewood by the score of 14 to 7 to reach the finals.

Neptune also finished second in the A North division.

Shore Regional also reached the sec-tional finals for 20-year head coach Mark Costantino (he has won 3 sec-tional titles in his career). The Blue Devils finished the regular season with a 8-1 record and defeated Asbury Park for the second time last season to reach the Group I finals before losing to Florence in a tough double overtime game by the score of 23 to 17.

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— Two Shore Conference girls’ teams reached the Tournament of Champions this year. Red Bank Catho-lic made it to the TOC semifinals before falling in a heartbreaker to Rancocas Valley. However, the Caseys finished the year 29-2 with four championships. RBC's lone loss going into the TOC semifinal was to New York power Moore Catholic. RBC won the Boardwalk Clas-sic in Wildwood, took the A Central Divi-sion, and followed it up with the Shore Conference Tournament Championship and the Non-Public A title. The Caseys did it with a well-balanced lineup that included Caroline Cororan, Grace Fal-lon, Alex Barazotti, Alex Alfano and Mary-Kate Caverly. Point Beach also reached the TOC by winning Group I. Katelynn Flaherty scored a game-high 30 points and sophomore Marina Ma-brey iced the game from the foul line as the Garnet Gulls earned their 25th win of the season by a score of 56-54 over Bloomfield Tech to win their first Group I state title.

Rumson-Fair Haven topped Point Boro 53-49 to win the Central Jersey Group

II title. Grace Stant had 16 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs past the Gulls and the new Shore Conference career scoring leader, Kelly Hughes. Un-ranked Freehold Boro made an unprec-edented run through the Central Jersey Group III field to win the school’s first-ever sectional crown in girls’ basketball by defeating favored Neptune 50-48 in overtime. Senior guard, Kim Dana, and sophomore forward, Rebecca Cobb, led the Colonials.

On the boys’ side, Point Beach scored a 43-39 victory over Dayton to win the Group I championship. Senior Riley Calzonetti scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half, including 10 fourth-quarter points to lead the Garnet Gulls. It was the school’s first state champion-ship and matched the accomplishments of the girls’ team.

One of the few teams to defeat Point Beach this year was Lakewood, who defeated the Gulls in the Shore Con-ference Tournament Final. The Piners won a state sectional title in Central Jer-sey Group II by defeating Manasquan 62-49. Center Ben Watson had nine points and 11 rebounds. Junior for-ward Maurice Diawara scored 11 points and Jarrod Craddox added 13 points. Lakewood might have advanced even deeper into the tournament if star guard Tyrice Beverette did not go down with an ankle injury in the win over the Warriors.

WALL – Toms River East ace Jordan Weed (25-4) and Saint John Vianney pre-eminent hurler Katie Beriont (26-2) both struggled in the first inning of Thursday’s Shore Conference Tour-nament final, before both pitchers then proceeded to settle into the untouchable rhythm that has character-ized them as the two most dominant pitchers in the Shore Conference this sea-son.

Unfortunately for Beriont and the No.1 seed Lancers (26-2) by the time she re-gained her form, the dam-age was already done. The three runs (two earned) she allowed in the bottom of the first inning were the dif-ference in the game, as the Raiders (25-4) went on to win the Shore Conference

Tournament Championship, 3-1, at Wall Township High School. It was the fourth SCT title in Toms River East Histo-ry and also put an end to the states No.3 ranked team’s 25 game winning streak.

Weed surrendered her only run of the game in the top of the first. After giving up a leadoff single to the Lancers senior center fielder Ama-mda Durham to start the game, Weed was uncharac-teristically wild, walking two of three next batters to load the bases with only one out. Junior Kate Baron then sac-rificed Durham home with a fly ball to left field, hand-ing the Lancers an early 1-0 lead before Weed induced Erica Krumbine to ground out to short ending the in-ning.“I had trouble getting used

to the mound,” Weed said. “But I settled down right away, pushed through it and got good results. I just fo-cused on the batter; I knew my team had my back. My job was to get the batter out; if I did that, everything else would fall into place. I had good movement on my ball all day.”

The No.3 seed Raiders an-swered with three runs in their half of the inning, when senior shortstop and University of Delaware re-cruit Sarah Bencivenga led off with a shot down the first base line for single. She then stole second and advanced to third on Beriont’s wild pitch before junior Valerie Hirschfeld drove her home with single up the middle to tie the score. Weed singled through the hole advanc-

ing Alyssa Cenci, running for Hirschfeld, into scoring position and both Cenci and Jenna Platten, running for Weed, advanced on a passed ball.

Taylor Dziedzic then pushed a bunt to the right side, which Beriont fielded clean-ly, but her throw to the plate was off target and Cenci scored on the error for the go-ahead run. Patten scored after Beriont uncorked an-other wild pitch for two-run lead.

“Sarah’s leadoff hit was huge,” Raiders head coach Debbie Schwartz said. “She set the tone of the game with that screamer off her bat down the line, then steal-ing second and taking third; she’s a great player and has been doing this all year for us.”

“It’s all about getting games started and then having the team back you up,” Ben-civenga said. “I had a clear mind and an open heart when I stepped into the bat-ter’s box; we answered back and we wanted it.”

The Lancers put runners on first and second with two outs in the top of the second after junior third baseman Marlena Bevilacqua and Durham both reached on consecutive errors. Unde-terred, Weed got the Lancers

top hitter, junior shortstop Jackie Gallager swinging for the final out.

From that point on, it was a classic pitcher’s duel.

Weed set down 16 of the final 17 batters she faced, striking out six in that span. Beriont, after faltering in the first, retired 15 of the final 16 batters she faced; eight on strikeouts. Weed allowed one run on two hits in seven innings, striking out seven, and walking two, both in the first inning. Beriont allowed three runs, two earned, on four hits, struck out 10 and did not issue a walk.

“Those three runs were huge for us,” Schwartz said. “That was all the comfort Jordan Weed needed. All season long, anytime Jordan had the lead I felt we were in control; I felt that way to-day.”

“We had a few mental mis-takes in the first inning, which typically our team doesn’t have,” Lancer head coach Kim Lombardi said. “Katie pitched well enough to win; we thought we would score some runs for her. Jor-dan was outstanding and they have a great team and a great coach. We were un-focused for one inning and unfortunately, that took us out of the game. I’m very proud of my team, we’ve

made it to every champi-onship game and we have tomorrow (Saturday’s state final vs. Immaculate Heart) so that helps, but you never want to lose.”

“This is a great tournament to win,” Schwartz said, “it’s a very difficult tournament to win, anytime you win the Shore Conference Tourna-ment you have to be very proud, and against a quality team like Saint John Vian-ney, it makes it even more special.”

“To win the Shore Confer-ence Tournament in my last high school game means a lot to me,” Boston College bound Weed said. “I’m real-ly happy I got to experience it and play with the girls I played with.”

“I’ve played four years at Toms River East and have had some great teams,” Bencivenga said. “But I never won the Shore Con-ference Tournament title and neither have any of the other seniors. This is something you will never forget. We made a statement today and that will stay with us forever.”

Bencivenga finished the sea-son batting .506 with eight home runs and 29 runs bat-ted in. She had 44 hits, 14 doubles and scored 41 runs; all team leading numbers.

Monmouth Regional had a successful baseball season. The Falcons finished with a 17 and 10 record this season and this season took on extra special mean-ing for this years team as head coach Ted Jarmurz announced he was retiring after 32 years in coaching at the end of the season. The team sent the coach out into retirement by winning the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II sectional final by defeating Ewing by the score of 4 to 3. The Falcons reached the sectional fi-nals after a disappointing loss in the first round of the Shore Conference Tourna-ment to Toms River South by the score of 6 to 3. After that game, the Falcons came together in the state tournament with wins over Johnson by the score of 5 to 1 in the semifinals. In the victory, pitcher Tom Broyles pitched a two hitter while strik-ing out 9 batters and giving up only one earned run. At the plate, Adrian Boulgier finished 2 for 3 with a solo home run, while John Borczyk had a triple and two runs batted in for Monmouth Regional.

Monmouh moved on to play Ewing in the final and kept their momentum go-ing and giving coach Jarmurz his third sectional title. Brian Quinn was the win-ning pitcher with a complete game effort striking out 3 batters. At the plate Quinn also had an RBI to help the Falcons score 4 runs in the fourth inning. Mike Casper also had an RBI in that inning. The Falcons moved on to the semifinals of the NJSIAA Croup Tournament before losing a heartbreaking game to Cin-naminison by the score of 7 to 6. With the game tied at 6 runs each in the 8th inning the Falcons gave up the losing run on a runner interference call at third base. Zach Christian had tied the game in the 7th inning with a two run single. Coach Jarmurz ends 32 years of coach-ing (27 of them with Monmouth Region-al) and on his retirement he said, "Its very emotional, I’ve done this for 32 years and retiring is tough."

LAKEWOOD – Seniors Karl Blum and Mike Miraglia stepped up in the biggest game of their high school careers leading No.5 seed Toms River North to a 5-2 victory over seventh seed Jackson Liberty in the Shore Conference Tournament (SCT) final Monday night at First Energy Park in Lakewood. After losing in last year’s SCT final, Monday night’s win handed the Mariners their first SCT title since 2005 and second title in five final appearances.

Toms River North, who won the Ocean County Tournament with a 2-0 win over Jackson Me-morial last month, now becomes the first team in the schools 44-year history to win both the Ocean County and Shore Conference Tourna-ments in the same year. The win also presents the Mariners (20-7) with a legitimate shot at the No.1 ranking in the Shore Conference’s final polls.

The loss ends Jackson Liberty’s (18-9) magi-cal run into the finals, in which they beat No.2 ranked Red Bank Catholic (23-4) in the quar-terfinals and fourth ranked Christian Brothers Academy (19-6) in the semifinals. It was the Lions first trip to the SCT finals in the school‘s short history of play.

Blum, who will play for the Duke Blue Dev-ils next season, tossed a complete game five hitter, limiting the Lions to one earned run, while striking out six and walking two. Blum was working on three days rest after pitching 6 1/3 innings in Thursday’s 6-3 semifinal win over Jackson, his first ever career win over the Jaguars.

“I knew by pitching on three days rest they were going to keep me on a short leash, so I

needed to step up big tonight,” Blum said. “I feel like I’ve been a solid contributor, but I let my team down a couple of times over the past few years and kind of underachieved a little bit; I wasn’t too happy with my career up to this point. Now I’m at peace with it, this year went great and I couldn’t think of a better way to end it.”

“He’s thrown us on his shoulders and car-ried us pitching-wise down the stretch,” Toms River North head coach Ted Schelmay said of Blum. “We have other guys who can pitch, but he wanted to do it. That says a lot about Karl Blum, and the team backed him up. That’s growth, and as a coach, that’s what you want from kids when they leave the program.”

Miraglia, a Drew University recruit, had the game winning hit in the top of the third, emp-tying the bases with a three-run RBI line-drive double into the right field corner to give the Mariners the lead for good, 4-0. University of Delaware bound Ron Marinaccio and Quintin Garvin reached base on bunt singles before senior Cory Cordasco (Montclair State) walked to load the bases for Miraglia.

“I got my pitch to drive,” Miraglia said, who stole third and scored on an errant throw into left field to make it 5-0. “It was a fastball on the outside corner and I did what I could with it. It felt great to come up big, this was by far the biggest hit of my career; it’s two champi-onships, there’s nothing more to say.”

Miraglia was robbed of an RBI single in the first on a tremendous diving stop and toss to second for the force out by Lion second base-man James Sofield. The Mariners had scored

an unearned run on the previous play when Marinaccio led off the game with a line drive single to right field and Blum was hit by a pitch, putting runners on first and second. Marinac-cio tagged and went to third on junior Anthony Ferlise fly ball to right field and scored when Lion shortstop Angle Garced failed to handle Cory Cordasco’s easy ground ball out.

In the bottom of the fourth, Blum walked Jor-dan Mundel to lead off the inning. He then walked senior Brendan Benecke, a Wagner recruit, with one out before Dan Naif dropped a hit into short center field for a single, load-ing the bases. Blum struck out St Joseph’s re-cruit Tyler Pallante, but Mundell scored from third when the ball bounced in the dirt and got away from catcher Sal Smith. Blum then got Joel Rivera swinging to end the inning.

The Lions added an unearned run in the bot-tom of the fifth after a throwing error by short-stop Carmen Sclafani put runners on the cor-ners and a sacrifice fly by Mundel scored the run. On the play, right fielder Garvin’s perfect throw to the plate easily had the runner, but Smith couldn’t come up with the ball cleanly.

Blum then retired the next seven out of eight batters on only 23 pitches to finish the game

for his seventh win of the season and more im-portantly the biggest and most significant win of his high school career.

“The expectations for this program are tough, but we love the challenge,” Blum said. “It’s even sweeter when we keep the tradition go-ing.”

“We were here last year in the finals and came up a little short, this year we took it home.” Schelmay said. “This team dealt with a lot of adversity. They believed in everything we were teaching them; it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. We had four one-run losses in our first five losses, but they kept their composure, kept battling and it started coming their way. They never quit, it’s a tribute to my assistant coaches, Andy and Steve Pagano, I couldn’t do it without them.”

Marinaccio and Garvin each finished 2 for 4 with a run scored for Toms River North.

Jackson Liberty pitcher Dan Serreino (7-4) was the hard luck loser. The junior right-hander, who had all three wins in the SCT to get the Lions into the title game, went the distance, allowing three earned runs on six hits, striking out five and walking three.

BLUM, MIRAGLIA LEAD TOMS RIVER NORTH TO SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT TITLEBy Mike Ready


JERSEY SHORE— The Shore Conference is turning into a force in ice hockey. Sev-eral teams had strong seasons. CBA, who went nearly two months without losing a game, won the Gordon Cup Conference Tournament. Despite coming into the fi-nal as the overwhelming underdogs, CBA knocked off Delbarton 5-2 to win their sev-enth overall Gordon Cup Conference title and handed the Green Wave their first in-state loss in 66 games, which dates back to February 2010. The Colts broke the game open in the second period. Senior Glenn Florzack, Brendan Van Riemsdyk, sopho-more Brendan Murphy, and seniors Chris Deatrick and RJ Steer provided the offense for the Colts.

St. John Vianney took home its first-ever Handchen Cup Championship with a hard fought 4-1 victory, over St. Rose. The win was the Lancers first post-season champi-onship of any kind, since it won the 1999-2000 Van Cott Cup.

“Our kids fought hard, the game was phys-ical and hotly contested,” said head coach Steve Scanapicco. “The St. Rose kids really worked hard, my goalie made it stand up.”Sophomore goaltender James Ellis stopped 26 shots including a crucial save during a 5-on-3 man disadvantage, with SJV holding a 2-0 lead late in the second period. Senior captain David Delseni (16 G, 10 A, 26 TP) scored two goals to lead the offense.

In the Dowd Cup, Brick Township took down Wall 7-4 for their first crown since 2002. Senior forward Brian Lange scored a pair of goals including the first goal of the game while Wall was on a powerplay.

Red Bank Regional was the most surprising team in the NJSIAA state playoffs. Despite a sub .500 record entering the postseason, the 25th seeded Bucs won their first two Public B tournament games. They upset 8th seeded Glen Rock in the first round. Drue Amato recorded a hat trick to pace the Bucs in that game. Rumson-Fair Ha-ven, Wall, Brick Township, Middletown North, and Brick Memorial each won at least one state tournament game in their respective brackets.
