MAYFIELD’S FIVE TOUCHDOWNS HELP MANALAPAN CLINCH CLASS A NORTH TITLE

By Mike Ready

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – Senior running back Naim Mayfield rushed for 197 yards on just eight carries including four rushing touchdowns and added a 93-yard kickoff return for a score – all in the first half – powering Manalapan to a division-clinching 48-7 win over outmatched Freehold Township.

“You take the offensive line and you add Chris Maksimik at fullback and the tight ends and it’s the whole package.�

“We play every team like they’re the best team in the state,� said Mayfield about looking ahead to the playoffs. “We come into every game with the same intensity that we have every week and it helps us to not look past teams and play our best.�

The Patriots took over at their own 14 following the kickoff and a pass interference against the Braves on third down gave the Patriots a first down at the 29. They then drove 71 yards in seven plays for their only score of the game with Reardon hitting junior Gavin Ferraro for a six-yard touchdown.

The win over the Patriots (7-2, 4-2) handed the Braves their second consecutive Shore Conference Class A North crown and seventh division title in eight years and guaranteed them a No. 1 seed in the Central Jersey Group V bracket in the upcoming state playoffs.

However, Mayfield immediately answered with a captivating 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that swelled the lead to 41-7 with 7:31 remaining in the half.

“It’s important,� Manalapan head coach Ed Gurrieri said of the division title. “Every year we set certain goals, and A North is the first one we want. After that, it’s to get to the states, and once we get to the states, we want to win a state championship.�

Mayfield had a hard time fielding the bouncing kick but once he did he was gone. “I couldn’t really see because of my visor,� Mayfield said. “So I dropped it. When I picked it up I saw a lane, planted my foot and ran up the lane.�

“We just figured this was another game we had to get over (before the playoffs) and another game we had to focus on like we focus on every game,� he continued. “He’s done that all year,� Gurrieri added. “He’s electric every time he touches the ball. He’s what we call a real true home run hitter.�

Shore Conference since the preseason Top 10 was released and they’ll carry a No. 8 state ranking with them into the state playoffs. “We never look past our opponent,� Gurrieri said. “We weren’t looking past anybody. We just wanted to play as hard as we had to for as long as we had to.�

On Mayfield’s first touch of the game – on the Braves first possession of the game – the Fordham University-bound stud running back broke a 52yard run up the middle for a touchdown and the rout was on. “That gave us a lot of momentum,� Mayfield said of his run. “It helped us realize this was going to be just another one of those games where we just had to work on technique and we had to focus on staying healthy and getting into the playoff mode.

said of his star halfback. “We’ve had a lot of great backs come through this program but right now I think he’s got every record that we’ve ever had here.

He’s the leading rusher in the state and the best running back in the state.

Following a three-and-out that included a 13yard sack of Freehold Township quarterback Nick Reardon by junior defensive end Da’Shon Taylor, the Patriots were forced to punt from deep in their own territory.

Three plays after taking over at the Patriots 27-yard line following the punt, senior wide receiver Symir Blacknall ran it in from 10-yards out on a jet sweep around left end for a quick 14-0 lead after senior kicker David Gelb’s extra point kick.

The Braves took over at their own 37-yard line after another Patriots punt and went 63 yards in four plays. Senior quarterback Luke Corcione’s 10-yard pass to junior tight end Alan Presler on slant in the end zone made it 21-0 with just under four minutes still left in the first quarter.

On the drive, Corcione’s 36-yard bubble screen to Blacknall on first down set the Braves up with a first down at the 27-yard line. After a false start penalty, Corcione hit senior wide receiver Scott Scherzer for

20 yards over the middle setting up Presler’s score on the next play. Corcione was a perfect 5-of-5 for 89 yards and a touchdown in less than one half of work.

Mayfield then pushed the score to 28-0 on a 17yard scamper off left tackle on second-and-2 from the 17 with 34 seconds still left in the first quarter.

On Freehold Township’s ensuing possession, a sixyard sack by senior defensive end Antonio Deieso and a nine-yard sack by Taylor led to another Patriots punt and Mayfield touchdown.

The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Taylor and the 6-foot-0, 240-pound Deieso continually harassed Reardon into ill-advised decisions and had him running for his life. Taylor and Deieso each recorded two sacks along with countless quarterback pressures and hits. “They (Freehold Township) had a hard time blocking those two tonight,� Gurrieri said of his two bookend defensive ends. “They’re very athletic, they got high motors and they brought a lot of energy tonight and did a great job.�

On first-and-10 on their own 42 following the punt, Mayfield took it 58 yards to the house for a 34-0 lead after a missed extra point. On the play, he eclipsed 2,000 rushing yards for the season. He now has 2,114 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns for the season. “He’s a once-in-a-generation type of kid,� Gurrieri

Junior outside linebacker Alex Claro then gave the ball right back to the Braves picking off Reardon at the 25-yard line on second-and-10 and returning it to the Freehold Township 16.

Three plays later Mayfield had his fourth rushing touchdown of the night running it in from sevenyards out for a 48-7 lead. Mayfield added a 21yard run on the Braves next possession and his night was over.

The second half was mercifully played with a running clock with second and third teamers seeing extensive playing time as the starters sat the entire second half. “It was a chance for some of the young guys to get in before the half and we continued that throughout the second half,� Gurrieri said of emptying his bench. “It was a chance for them to show us what they got and they all got an opportunity to play tonight.�

Manalapan lost to Piscataway in last year’s NJSIAA Central Jersey Group V final so that has been a point of focus all year for the undefeated Braves. “We don’t dwell on it,� Gurrieri said of last year’s defeat in the final. “But the guys who are seniors now who played a lot last year as juniors know that feeling when we walked off that field.�

Lakewood Boys Soccer Makes State Tournament; Gets Experience for Young Players

By Lou Monaco

Halloween was no treat for the Lakewood boys soccer team.

Senior midfielder Jake Brower scored two goals to lead eighth-seeded Freehold Boro to a 3-1 victory over ninth-seeded Lakewood in the first round of the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 3 tournament in Freehold last Tuesday.

Sophomore forward Isaac Ball added a goal, assisted by junior midfielder Jake Mostowsky and senior midfielder Alexis Mayorga, for Freehold Borough (9-10-2), which advanced to the quarterfinals and lost to top-seeded, Ocean Township, 2-0, on Friday, Nov. 3.

Senior back and four-year starter Japhet Campillo scored a second-half goal for Lakewood (10-9), which ended its season losing three straight and five of its last seven games.

“The Piners’ season came to an end with a loss to a very good Freehold Boro team. I thought we played well enough to win, but youth very seldom comes out on top when you are playing a team that is well-tested, and that was the case in Freehold Boro,” said Lakewood head coach Eugene Drumwright.

“Next year we won’t be so overwhelmed in the state playoffs and our players will be older with a bit more experience.”

FREEHOLD BOROUGH’S #3 JERSEY SALAZAR

How aggressive should I be when I invest for retirement?

Mary T. – Red Bank Answer:

FREEHOLD BOROUGH’S #10 ENRIQUE MENDEZ & LAKEWOOD’S #4 JAPHET CAMPOILLO Photos by: Fran Attardi

Senior Krisian Talas led the team in goals scored with seven, while Campillo was second with five for the Piners, which finished with an 8-6 conference record, good for fourth place in the Shore Conference B South division.

“We had an enjoyable season. I thought that we were the type of team that the fans like to see. A team that never quit, played hard until the match was over. It just ended sooner than we wanted it to,” Drumwright said. “When you talk to kids about the state tournament, they understand that everyone can’t advance.

I thought we beat some good teams with our 10 wins, but with youth, comes that big word – inconsistent – and that is what I thought we were this season. We will improve on that next season. Next year we have a team with returning players and we just need to go out and have fun while playing.”

It depends. The right answer in your case will depend on a number of key factors. These include, among others, your income and assets, your attitude toward risk, whether you have access to an employer-sponsored plan at work, the age at which you plan to retire, and your projected expenses during retirement. But it’s possible to lay down some guidelines that may be of help to you.

The conventional wisdom has traditionally been that you should invest aggressively when you’re young and then move gradually toward a more conservative approach. By the time you retired, you would probably end up with a portfolio made up mostly of high-grade bonds and other low-risk investments. However, the retirement landscape has changed dramatically in the past 20 years or so. As a result, many of our basic assumptions about retirement planning have been overturned.

The dwindling number of traditional pension plans and concerns about Social Security have led people to take greater responsibility for their own retirement. Investing more aggressively over the long term has become common as people realize that, without anyone else to take care of them, they need to build the largest retirement nest egg they possibly can. In fact, many people these days primarily use growth vehicles (e.g., certain stocks and mutual funds) for their investment portfolios and tax-deferred retirement plans (e.g., 401(k)s and IRAs), though the proportion of stocks may still be reduced as they near retirement.

Other factors have changed the way we think about and invest for retirement as well. People tend to retire younger, live longer, and do more during retirement than they used to. With the likelihood that you will have well over 20 years of activity to fund, it may be a good idea to invest more aggressively for retirement than previous generations did. And there’s no reason to switch over to fixed-income securities completely upon reaching retirement, especially with interest rates at historic lows. Because bond prices typically fall when interest rates go up, a period of rising interest rates can affect the value of your bond holdings. Many financial planners suggest that you keep a suitably balanced portfolio, including some of your assets in growth-oriented investments, even after you retire.

THE FUTURE IS OURS TO SEE Imagine your greatest goals within reach.

Together, we can create a strategy to help make fulfilling those dreams a reality—one that can guide you forward on the path to success.

Don’t forget to carefully consider a mutual fund’s investment objectives, risks, fees, and expenses, which can be found in the prospectus available from the fund. Read it carefully before investing.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal, and there can be no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful.

Should I replace my permanent life insurance policy with another if I’m unhappy with the rate of return I’m getting?

Robert F. - Wanamassa Answer:

Atlas Private Wealth Advisors Sandra Dalton, CDFA™, ChFC®, MBA 14 Cliffwood Ave Suite 250 Matawan, NJ 07747 (732) 242-4001 x 116 Ofc e sdalton@atlaspwa.c om

4FDVSJUJFT PGGFSFE UISPVHI -1- 'JOBODJBM NFNCFS '*/3" 4*1$ MKT-0060-0417 Tracking #1-603371 (Exp. 04/19)

Life insurance is like other property in that sometimes it may be in your best interest to replace one life insurance policy with another. It may be that the type of policy you own is no longer the best for your situation (e.g., you own a traditional whole life policy and think that a term life policy will better meet your needs). Or, your universal life policy is not paying as high an interest rate as other policies are paying. Perhaps a new variable life policy has more investment options or other new features that you find appealing. It may be that you have a small permanent policy and want to increase your coverage; perhaps you should combine all of your coverage into one new policy.

Before replacing one permanent policy with another, consider these questions: • If your health, occupation, or avocations have changed since you purchased your current policy,

are you likely to qualify for the new policy? Is it a concern to you that you will be required to take a new medical exam and have your medical records reviewed?

• If you are comparing two competing policy illustrations, are they using the same assumptions for interest rates or dividends and fees into the future years of the policy?

• Have you considered surrender charges in your calculations?

• Have you owned your existing policy for over two years? If you have, you are past the incontestability period for misstatements made on your application for insurance. Does it concern you that when you buy a new policy, you will start a new incontestability period?

• If you surrender a policy and do not do a taxfree exchange, will you have to pay income tax on any gain?

• Can you buy additional features, or cancel any features of your existing policy, to accomplish what you want with the new policy?

• Common sense says that because you are older, a newer policy should be more expensive than the one you have. Are you clear in your own mind why the replacement makes sense for you to do?

Since life insurance agents and brokers are compensated when you buy a new policy, you could be the victim of an unscrupulous salesperson trying to sell you a product that would not be better than what you have. On the other hand, the life insurance industry is constantly evolving with “new and improved” policy offerings. Do not be afraid to consider replacing your life insurance policy, but do so cautiously.

A life insurance policy is unlike other properties in that once you give up a life insurance policy, you may not be able to replace it at any price. Consequently, before replacing any life insurance, make sure that the new policy is delivered and paid for.

Note: Variable life insurance and variable universal life insurance policies are offered by prospectus, which you can obtain from your financial professional or the insurance company.

The prospectus contains detailed information about investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. You should read the prospectus and consider this information carefully before purchasing a variable life or variable universal life insurance policy.

++++++++++++++++++++++ Whether you’re starting out in the workplace, getting ready to retire or somewhere in between, it is important to have a financial plan and monitor progress towards your goals on a regular basis.

Holmdel Boys Soccer Captures First SCT Title

Page 7

By John Sorce

The Holmdel High School Hornets captured their first Shore Conference Tournament title in boys soccer thanks in large part to Anthony Arena, who scored a tournament final record five goals en route to a 7-1 victory over fifth-seeded Ocean Township.

The Hornets, who have secured the top seed in the Central Jersey Group 2 tournament, have since picked up

victories over North Star Academy and Johnson. Justin Mcstay starred in their 10-0 first-round victory over North Star, leading the Hornets attack with a hat trick.

Jack Giamanco scored two goals and five other Hornets added a goal each.

Michael Neff racked up two assists. It was their staggering tenth shutout victory of the season.

Six Hornets scored in their 6-1 quarterfinal HOLMDEL’S WINING TEAM

victory over Johnson on Nov. 3, including Arena, Mcstay, Neff, Nick Guga, Matthew Leon, and Jack Russo.

HOLMDEL’S #10 ANTHONY ARENA Photos by: Tom Smith

Arena, a junior, leads the Hornets this season in both goals (31) and assists (22).

His goal total for the season is the program record for goals in a season. Mcstay (25), Matthew Leon (14) and Cyrus Darvish (12) all have also recorded double-digit goals for the Hornets. Mcstay (17) and Leon (14) join Arena as the trio of Hornets with double-digit assists. Senior goalkeeper

Matthew Lionette has 50 saves.

The Hornets suffered their only loss of the season on Oct. 7 to Pingry, a school located in Bernards Township, 1-0, on the road.

The Hornets, who are now 19-1 on the season, look to continue their quest for a Central Group 2 title on Nov. 7 when they take on the winner of No. 12 Bernards/ No. 13 Matawan at Holmdel High School in the semifinals.

Howell Boys Soccer Falls to Washington Township in State Tourney Quarterfinals

By Lou Monaco

The Howell boys soccer season came to end last Friday.

Junior midfielder Arturo Serano and senior midfielder Josh Strickon scored one goal apiece to lift secondseeded Washington Township, No. 20 in the current NJ.com Top 20 rankings, to a 2-1 victory over 10thseeded Howell in the quarterfinals of the NJSIAA, South Jersey, Group 4 tournament in Washington Township.

Senior midfielder Jason Arakelian and junior midfielder Jake Logar both recorded an assist and junior goalie Mike Pagano had four saves to secure the win for the Minutemen (19-2-1), which has won 12 straight and is 15-0-1 in its last 16 games.

Senior forward Brandon Downey scored and junior

goalie Shane McBride registered seven saves for Howell (11-7-1), which lost two of its last three games to end its season.

point you hope that you can create and capitalize on some breaks,” said Howell head coach Rich Yuro, who has been at the helm for the past 27 years.

Washington Township, the three-time defending sectional champion, advanced to the sectional semifinals and will host third-seeded Shawnee (13-3-3) on Tuesday, Nov. 7, where the winner will face the winner between eighthseeded Atlantic City and fourth-seeded Rancocas Valley on Friday.

Yuro loses five seniors entering next season – Downey and four defenders: Stephan Marrone, Adam Jiries (midfielder), Chris Bogdan, and Jacob Hogland.

“It was a tough game; we knew how good their program is based on the success the past couple of years. The success for us this season was making sure we outworked our opponent and we know if we gave the same effort yesterday that we could keep it close and then at that

“These guys were determined to make the state tournament, but besides that, they made a huge impact with the way the team jelled. When you hear about team chemistry, that was a big reason for our success and they were the ones to make that happen,” said Yuro.

“The season was very rewarding for the players. They put in a lot of work the past couple years. We had a lot of young kids in the lineup last year and at the end

of the season, you could see the improvement and that the players were starting to get it. We were optimistic coming in, but also cautious because the conference is so tough. I give the kids a lot of credit after starting out 0-21; you never know how they will respond. And after a couple of sub-par seasons you’re afraid they might have the ‘here we go again’ attitude, but they pulled through and once we started to win a couple of games, they saw that we could get the results if we keep working hard and plugging along. The seniors were a huge reason for our success they were determined from the first days of summer practices to make this a different year. Three of them have been with the varsity since their freshman year and have never made it to the states so that was a big goal for them.”

Ocean Township Boys Soccer Advances in Central Jersey Group 3 State Playoffs

By Lou Monaco

Junior forward Santieno Harding and junior midfielder Andrew Shaw each scored a goal with an assist in the second half to lead topseeded Ocean Township to a 2-0 victory over eighth-seeded Moorestown in the quarterfinals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 3 tournament in Oakhurst.

Ocean Township (18-3-1), which has won two straight and improved to 4-1-1 in its last six games, advanced to the sectional semifinals and will host fifth-seeded Moorestown (11-6-3) on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The winner will advance to the sectional title game on Friday, Nov. 10, and will play the winner between third-seeded Northern Burlington (11-6-2) and second-seeded Toms River South (15-5-2).

“The Shore Conference Tournament run was a grind for us. We sustained some injuries in the process, and I’m happy we got through

today’s game. Freehold Boro is a quality team, one that pounded us, 5-1, earlier in the year. It was pay-back today for our side, but they didn’t make it easy,” said Ocean head coach John Terlecsky. “It took us some time to figure out what was going to work for us and because they are so good at possession, we had to give up the center of the pitch a bit. Their kid, Jake Brower, can play so slowing him down – and bypassing him really – was one of our objectives.”

Santieno (Harding) and Stevie Carton, and both of them have taken turns leading us.

Today was Santieno’s turn, with the goal and the assist, but they both open up space for each other and are a complete handful for

the other team,” said Terlecsky. “We can rely on our defense to get the job done, and it’s a mutually beneficial system. Our defense keeps it out of the goal well enough, that a couple of goals can get the job done.”

Junior goalie Max Winters recorded 10 saves for Ocean Township.

“Max is 14-1-1 in net for us this season, and we have some competent defenders in front of him,” said Terlecsky. “The kid had 10 saves today and he really was aggressive in owning the box. He took my assistant coach’s game plan and ran with it.”

Terlecsky was also impressed with Harding’s play.

Rumson Field Hockey Captures Fourth Consecutive SCT title

By John Sorce

Having already captured the North 2 Group 2 title, the Rumson-Fair Haven field hockey team made it a four-peat in the Shore

The game remained scoreless for much of the opening half until junior Bridy Molyneaux found the net for Rumson, giving the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead with 30 seconds left in the first half. They took that lead into halftime.

The Bulldogs came out a different team, scoring four second-half goals. Junior Ana Claire Piacentini scored Rumson’s second goal with under 22 minutes to play and Stanford-bound senior Lily Croddick extended their lead to 3-0 with 14:53 to play.

“I am so proud of the efforts of my players,” Rumson head coach Julie Brewington said.

“We had a slow start in the first half, but getting that goal late was crucial going into the half. It gave the girls the confidence they needed heading into the second half.

They continued to keep up the intensity and finished strong.”

RFH’S BRIDY MOLYNEAUX

Just over three minutes later, senior Katie MacGillis made it 4-0 Rumson with 11:12 remaining, and senior Emma D’Amelio gave the Bulldogs their fifth and final goal with 4:47 remaining to capture their fourth consecutive Shore Conference Tournament title.

The senior class has captured the Shore Conference Tournament title all four years, and Brewington is proud of what they accomplished.

RFH’S CHAMPIONS!

“It was so special for the seniors to cap off the four years with four SCT titles,” Brewington said. “They have continued to keep this program competitive.”

ROYSON LEADS TOMS RIVER NORTH PAST JACKSON AND INTO SEMIFINALS

By Mike Ready

TOMS RIVER – Emily Royson’s direct-kick goal in the 77th minute of a NJSIAA South, Group IV quarterfinal match vaulted fourth-seeded Toms River North over No. 5 seed Jackson Memorial, 2-1, Thursday in Toms River.

It was the rubber match between the two Shore Conference Class A South rivals with each winning on the other’s home field by one goal in the regular season. Toms River North is currently ranked third in the Shore Conference with Jackson right behind at No. 4.

The two schools ended up tied for the division title after splitting their season series and both advanced to the Shore Conference Tournament semifinals before exiting.

The Mariners are the South, Group IV defending champions after winning their first-ever sectional title last year.

Royson drew a foul just outside of the 18-yard box on the left side and drilled it into the net from a tough angle to break a 1-1 deadlock.

After drawing the foul call, Royson saw an opening and drilled a shot that deflected off of Jackson Memorial goalkeeper Kylee Sullivan just inside the near post with 3:35 left to play.

kick to even the score at one in the 60th minute of the second half and looked as though the two evenly matched teams might be heading to overtime until Royson came to the rescue.

The Mariners (18-2) scored their first goal in the ninth minute of play to take a 1-0 lead when Maddy Bennert finished off a perfect cross from senior Jenna Royson, who beat a defender and served the ball across the box in the air from right to left.

Jackson Memorial (16-5) responded by keeping the pressure on the Mariners defense and they finally broke through after being awarded the penalty kick in the 60th minute. The Jaguars outshot the Mariners, 11-6, for the game and

minutes Thursday after playing about five in Monday’s first-round win over Lenape, according to head coach Tom Miller.

Ironically, it was Royson’s foul that led to the game-tying penalty kick against her team but her game-winning goal more than atoned for her earlier miscue.

SHORE REGIONAL KEEPS HOPES OF THREE-PEAT ALIVE WITH 2-1 QUARTERFINAL WIN OVER POINT BEACH

Page 11

By Mike Ready

WEST LONG BRANCH – Five-time defending sectional champion Shore Regional advanced to the Central Jersey Group I semifinals with a hardfought 2-1 victory over fifth-seeded Point Pleasant Beach Thursday in West Long Branch.

The win pushes the fourth-seeded Blue Devils (164-2) a step closer to their ultimate goal of winning their third straight NJSIAA Group I championship.

The two teams battled to a scoreless first half before the game turned to Shore’s favor four minutes into the second half. That’s when junior Frankie McDonough fired home a shot that got by Point Beach goalie Toni Abdy – who finished with 12 saves in the game – for a 1-0 lead.

Three minutes later, senior Kendall Rich followed up McDonough’s goal, scoring unassisted to push the Blue Devils lead to 2-0 with 33:48 still left to play.

“I think it came down to what team wanted it more,” McDonough said of the win. “For us, we’re two-time defending state champs and it really comes down to we know we want to get a third title in a row. The first half was a little shaky because we came out a little bit nervous. But we know how we play, we know our game and I think after halftime we brought the intensity. We then scored two goals in the first ten minutes and that’s what really made the difference.”

However, just 19 seconds later, what appeared to be a comfortable two-goal cushion suddenly evaporated when junior Julia Cairns dug into Shore’s lead, drilling a shot off a setup by junior McKayla Hughes past Blue Devil goalie Julia Valinoti to pull the Garnett Gulls within 2-1 at the 46:31 mark.

“I think after we went up 2-0 our team kind of relaxed a little bit,” said Shore Regional head coach George Moutis. “Point Beach is a good team and they came back and capitalized. Then after that I guess it was a wake-up call so the girls really stepped it up and we took a little more control of the game.”

Point Beach (15-5) did have one scoring opportunity late in the game but a close-range shot sailed high-and-wide and they never threatened again.

“I think sometimes we tend to get a little comfortable after we score and that tends to be a problem,” said McDonough referring to her team’s play in the second half. “After they scored everyone was a little down but we were up, 2-1, and we knew we didn’t need a goal; we just needed to play our game. We needed to possess the ball and make sure they didn’t get in again and I think we did a really good job of making sure they didn’t get in our half a lot.”

The Blue Devils now advance to play No. 1 seed Metuchen in the Central Jersey Group I semifinals.

Metuchen easily got by ninth-seeded Riverside by the score of 6-2. The Bulldogs are 15-3-1 and

CBA Boys Soccer Earn Top Seed in South, Non Public A Tournament third consecutive trip to the Non-Public A final.

By John Sorce One look at the stats page for the Christian Brothers Academy boys soccer team and one would probably not guess the Colts have won 18 of 21 games this season. After all, the team has only scored 45 goals through 21 games.

The Colts were upset in the quarterfinal round of the Shore Conference Tournament on Oct. 21, suffering a 1-1 tie against eight-seeded Toms River South and falling short in penalty kicks after two overtime periods.

Such is the case for CBA under second-year head coach Tom Mulligan. The Colts are led in goals this season by juniors Dominic Bellomo and Charlie Daly with just seven apiece.

“It was tough for us, but these are high school kids,” Mulligan said. “These kids just want to have an opportunity to play another game. As long as they are able to do that, they will be fine.”

Still, the Colts are 18-2-1 overall and finished the regular season 12-1 in the Shore Conference A North division. They were rewarded with the top seed in the Shore Conference Tournament and the top seed and a first-round bye in the South, NonPublic A Tournament. The Colts are seeking their

SHORE’S #7 FRANKIE McDONOUGH went undefeated (10-0) in the GMC Blue Division to take the crown and are ranked sixth in the GMC Top 10.

“I think we do feel a little pressure knowing we have a target on our backs and all teams want to beat us,” McDonough said of her team’s chances of three-peating. “But we know the team that we are and we have faith in ourselves. Our coach is really proud of us and he knows we can get the job done and we just got to believe in ourselves that we can do it.”

“We tell the girls that they have a mark on their backs so you better be ready,” said Moutis on how he prepares his team moving forward. “Everyone wants to beat the champion, so you can’t just walk into a game; you have to go 1000 percent all the time. But whatever happens, we’re very proud of them and it’s been a fantastic run.”

team’s success this season.

This is Keenan’s first year playing soccer for CBA, as he was committed to playing soccer for Cedar Stars Academy during his first three years of high school. He earned a scholarship to play at the University of Connecticut before ever taking the field for CBA, and will head to Storrs, CT next fall. Mulligan noted that Keenan’s presence goes well beyond his eye-opening stats.

“He really has stepped us for us many times throughout the year,” Mulligan said. “You can look at his stats and his number of saves. But what you won’t see there is the quality of the saves. He has come up with a lot of big stops for us in many key situations.”

Senior John Askin leads the team with five assists and senior goalkeeper Shane Keenan has an astounding 82 saves. Both have been vital to the CBA’S #19 JACK GILL

The Colts hope to continue their winning ways as they host St. Joseph on Nov. 7 in the semifinals.

A Lot to be Proud of for Shore Field Hockey

By John Sorce

When you win 18 games in a season and all but three of them are shutouts, people are going to take notice, even if one of only three losses came in the Shore Conference Tournament semifinal.

Such is the case for the Shore Regional field hockey team as the second seeded Blue Devils lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to third seeded Southern. Shore responded by avenging their early Shore Conference exit with a convincing 10-0 victory over Bordentown in the quarterfinal round of the North Jersey Section 2, Group 1 Tournament.

sectional final.

The offense has been a strong point for Shore all season, with five girls scoring double-digit goals. The team is led offensively by senior Talia Cantaffa (36 goals, five assists) and junior Maggie Lamb (27 goals, 26 assists). Senior Abby Kopec, who will further her field hockey career at Ohio State next fall, has 26 goals and 20 assists.

SHORE’S #26 AMANDA HALPER

“It was definitely a tough loss for us and we tried to use that as a learning experience,” fourth year Shore Head Coach Kelly Koenig said. “We knew as a team if we wanted to pursue our goals, we had to really think about what we could have done differently outside our attacking 16 and find a way to finish in pressure situations when you are playing a good team.”

The team responded with victories over Bordentown (10-0) and Johnson (1-0) to get to the North Jersey Section 2, Group 1 title game, which ended in a 2-1 defeat to Madison on Nov. 3, who claimed their fourth straight sectional title. It was the second season in a row the Blue Devils fell to Madison in the

SHORE’S #28 JACLYN SHAPIRO “These kids are really looking to play a well-balanced attack,” Koenig said. “They want to distribute the ball and have multiple shooters, which makes it harder for defensive units. Not only can they finish, but they can also develop the plays for their teammates.”

Taking over as head coach four years ago, Koenig has been there since day one for this senior class, and she would like nothing more than to see them go out on top.

“For me, it’s special to see this senior class and the three senior captains out on the field making an impact with their play and who they are as people,” Koenig said. “Watching them grow has been something really special for me and I’m incredibly proud of them for the type of hockey they play and who they are as people.”

Monmouth-Bound Jillian Conklin Leads Toms River East

By John Sorce

When Jillian Conklin arrived at Toms River East, she immediately caught the eye of varsity girls soccer head coach Mike Nichol.

“She came in as a freshman that summer and looked great,” Nichol said. “She did a scrimmage at the freshman level and one at the JV level. We had her for our last varsity scrimmage and it was pretty apparent that she was a great player and could make a contribution right away.

“After she played that varsity scrimmage her freshman year, we had practice the following day. She went with the other freshman and the JV players and we were kind of split on two sides of the field. I called her and another

player over and I told them I was going to keep them on varsity and they both looked stunned.”

Ever since then, Conklin has been the heart and soul of the Toms River East girls soccer team. The senior leads the Raiders in both goals (31) and assists (9) and will attend Monmouth University next fall to continue her soccer career.

“She has the ability to score goals and always seems to find her way to get in front of the goal,” Nichol said. “She is really close with her family and I am sure they will be at every Monmouth game.”

Conklin has amassed 70 goals and 29 assists over her career, despite missing most of her junior year. It was during this time

SHORE’S #23 JILLIAN CONKLIN that Nichol noticed something at one practice he hasn’t seen before from a player.

“Her ability to lead by example is amazing, and I’m not making things up here. She’s one of the hardest working people I’ve met,” Nichol said. “Last year, she had a bout with mono and she couldn’t play or participate in contact practice. She was cleared to come to practice and hang out and she’s on the sidelines doing sprints the whole time, because she wanted to be ready for that first game back. That to me certainly says a lot about her.”

Nichol said. “She was a little quiet and shy early on, but with experience and her time on the team, she has really grown into that leader role. She leads by example with her confidence and she makes everybody else play better.

Going from this quiet freshman to one of the loudest, most confident players out there has been really fun for us to watch.”

Nichol has enjoyed watching Conklin grow over the past four years as a player and a person.

“She is certainly humble, which is awesome,”

Alexis Casella Leaves Mark on Wall Captures Girls Soccer Shore Jackson Memorial Soccer Program Conference Tournament Title

By John Sorce

By John Sorce

When people talk about soccer, defenders are not usually the people that get the most recognition.

That is far from the case when it comes to Jackson Memorial’s Alexis Casella.The senior defender has been one of the top defenders in the Shore Conference this season. Her impact has been felt since she made the varsity team as a sophomore.

the right spot at the right time. A lot of girls on the team can look up to her and see how hard she’s working all the time.”

“Her sophomore year is when she really stepped up,” said Jackson Memorial head coach Drew Gibson, who is in his 16th year in charge of the program. “That’s when she started playing varsity. Her confidence grew a little bit then and she’s continued to improve. She’s one of the players since her freshman year I think has gotten better every single year, and a lot of that is a credit to her hard work off the field as well.”

“They’ve had a very good run. We’ve started seven or eight seniors almost every game,” Gibson said. “We’ve had a winning season every year, competing for division and conference championships. We weren’t able to get them, but we were right there with a chance each year.”

Gibson noted her knack for making plays in key situations and how she leads by example as two of Casella’s most notable traits.

“She’s a very good outside back and aggressive when balls are in the air,” Gibson said. “She plays 100 percent all the time and in terms of leadership, I think she leads by the way that she plays. She plays hard all the time; she never takes a day off and she’s always working hard and in

Jackson Memorial is 16-5 overall and 12-1 in A South. The senior class has certainly left an impact on the program.

Casella will further her soccer career next fall when she attends St. John’s. She is one of many players Gibson has sent to play collegiate soccer, and he is excited to see what her future has in store.

“We’ve had a lot of girls go on to play college soccer and we always talk about on senior day how lucky we are as coaches to have these girls go through our program,” Gibson said. “They’re all very good students, soccer players and people.

I’m very happy to see her go to St. John’s and I’m sure she will be successful there.”

The second-seeded Crimson Knights upended top-seeded Freehold Township, 4-2, to capture the 2017 girls soccer Shore Conference Tournament championship and first since 2014.

“Amy was an All-American this year, was All-State two times and she was our captain for two years. To lose a player of her caliber, everybody felt for her, but we still want to accomplish our goals. We weren’t going to give up the season because we’re missing a player like that. We have a lot talented girls and this gives them the platform to show people how talented they are.”

Senior Jenna Karabin scored three goals for Wall in the victory, including two in the second half to put the game WALL’S #25 MEGAN CORBRAN out of reach. Sophomore Marissa Sciorilli scored the other goal, her first of her varsity career.

Karabin is second on the team with 27 goals, followed by Lauren Karabin’s 18.

COLTS NECK – Top-seeded Colts Neck took a two-goal lead into halftime then dominated time of possession in the second half to defeat seventh-seeded Freehold, 2-0, in Thursday’s NJSIAA North 2, Group 3 final at Colts Neck’s home field.

In defeating defending champion Freehold, the Cougars captured the school’s first-ever sectional field hockey championship in program history.

“This is our first ever (title) in 19 years so it really feels awesome,” said Colts Neck head coach Maria Merlucci following their historic win. “These girls have worked their butts off for three months and I have six amazing seniors that have committed themselves for four years.

We’re 17-1-1 and they had a mission that they were going to put up a new banner in the gym and now we can.”

through strong today. We marked real well and our corner defense shut down their corners.”

Merlucci also mentioned junior Liz Whalen and Muscara on defense and sophomore Stephanie LoNano in goal. LoNano finished with four saves for the Cougars.

In four short years the Colts Neck field hockey program has made the leap from a two-win team in 2014 to currently being ranked fourth in the Shore Conference while boasting a 171-1 record.

Group 3 section that year the Cougars beat ninth-seeded Steinert, 4-1, in the first round before losing to No. 1 seed Freehold, 4-0, in the second round.

Their state-playoff win represented a huge step forward for the program that got significant contributions from two rising sophomores, Amy McGee and Amy Flood, who are a couple of those seniors that Merlucci is talking about.

During the 2016 season Flood and McGee really began to flourish as junior leaders. Flood

Now jump ahead to this season and the Cougars have won 17 games, are sectional champions, Class A North champions and heading to the NJSIAA Group I Tournament with Flood and McGee still leading the way.

Both Colts Neck goals came off of penalty corners as the Cougars totaled 11 penalty corners for the game while the Colonials had seven.

The Cougars shut out all three opponents on their way to the title and now have 12 on the year and have only given up 12 goals all year.

“After we went up 2-0 we just wanted to keep them out of our circle as much as possible,” Merlucci said of her team’s strategy in the second half. “We’re a second-half team and I knew once we put a couple in we’d get fired up. We have a great defense this year and we tried to work off of that. Maddy Bellows is our anchor back there and I thought she came

“Winning those first-round state tournament games (2015-2016) was the first time ever we’ve done that at home so that was really cool for two years,” Merlucci said of her team’s steady improvement. “Over the past four years the seniors have really bought in to my philosophy while practicing and working 12 months of the year.”

In that second-round game, the Cougars suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 double-overtime loss to the Colonials, who went on to win the championship. McGee scored the Cougars’ only goal of the game off an assist from Flood in the second half to send the game into overtime.

Senior Ally Royle was on the post and got a deflection in for a 1-0 lead with a little over 13:00 minutes left in the opening half and about eight minutes later, senior Aryana Muscara did a reverse sweep right into the cage for a 2-0 advantage.

It was Royle’s eighth and Muscara’s seventh goals of the season and junior Jenna Filingeri picked up her fourth assist of the season on Royle’s goal.

Awarded the seventh seed in the North 2, Group 3 section, the Cougars beat No. 10 seed Steinert, 3-0, advancing to the second round for a rematch with Freehold, who beat them in last year’s second round.

A year later in 2015, Colts Neck made a significant jump, improving to 9-8-1; however, after starting out 2-6-1 in their first nine games of the season they failed to qualify for the Shore Conference Tournament. However, they finished strong going 7-2 in their final nine games and qualified for the states.

As the No. 8 seed in the NJSIAA North 2,

led the team in scoring with nine goals and four assists while McGee was right behind with seven goals and two assists as the team went 9-8-2 and qualified for the SCT and the state playoffs for the second season in a row.

It was only the second time in program history that the Cougars had qualified for the Shore Conference Tournament.

As the No. 17 seed in the 2016 Shore Conference Tournament the Cougars lost to 16th-seeded Jackson Memorial but qualified for the state tournament.

“Amy Flood and Amy McGee are both on the left side and are a big part of our success,” Merlucci said of her two senior forwards. “Amy Flood just started playing field hockey as a freshman and she has 17 goals this season and Amy McGee is a four-year starter and just a great athlete who plays three sports. They both work really, really hard and the two of them on the left side stick everything in the net for us and combined they have close to 30 goals for us this season.”

Colts Neck now moves on to play the NJSIAA North 1, Group 3 champion Warren Hills on Tuesday. Warren Hills’ win Thursday was the sixth straight sectional title for the Blue Streaks, who are 23-2 and ranked seventh in the state.

“It’s a culmination of four years of commitment, dedication and really, really hard work,” said Merlucci.“ We have to stay hungry and play with a sense of urgency, which was basically our mantra all year. Whatever the score is, we’re always playing like it’s 0-0.”

LAKEWOOD’S STAR DEFENSIVE END JOSH LEZIN IS LEADER ON AND OFF THE FIELD

By Mike Ready

LAKEWOOD – Senior defensive lineman Josh Lezin had a monster 2016 season on the field for the Lakewood Piners football program but it’s the way he acts off the field that impresses head coach L.J. Clark the most.

“Josh is as good a person as he is a football player,” Clark said of his star defensive end. “It you could pick anyone in the school who everyone would say is a really good person, it would be Josh.

“He’s very quiet and very old fashioned,” Clark added. “He’s old school. All that social media stuff that young kids do; that’s not for Josh. It’s all about business for Josh – work, school and sports.”

At a time when Lezin should’ve been amping up for his senior season, he had to deal with the possibility that he might not get a chance to play this season.

Because of a budget crisis within the school district, Lakewood was in danger of not having a team this season, but in mid-June the Lakewood Township Committee pledged to pay the amount needed to ensure the high school would field a team this fall.

“It was tough on Josh,” Clark said of the potential school shut down. “He’s a nationally ranked player and a lot of coaches, even the ones who already offered, still want to see how good you do your senior year. With his senior year kind of in limbo, it was tough for him because his future was hanging in the wind. It was very unsettling for him but he handled it with class like he does everything else.”

University of Connecticut, Monmouth University, University of Maine, Wagner, St. Francis (Pa.) and Villanova University are just a few schools that have already offered Lezin a scholarship.

The 6-foot-1, 268-pound Lezin was a second-team All-State and first-team All-Shore selection a year ago after terrorizing opposing offenses with his brute strength and high-end speed and quickness.

His numbers were off the charts, recording 13 sacks, 82 tackles (including 31 tackles for losses), four forced fumbles, eight pass breakups, two blocked punts and two blocked field goals on his way to being named the Shore Conference Class B South Defensive Player of the Year.

A four-year starter, Lezin led the Piners to a 7-3 record a year ago and a second-place finish in Class B South play along with their fifth consecutive playoff appearance for the first time in program history.

Lezin was also the 2017 NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III shot put champion as a junior and placed sixth in the NJSIAA Meet of Champions with a throw of 58-6.75.

After dominating the trenches last season, Levin has been accorded plenty of attention from opposing teams that have consistently doubleand triple-teamed him this season while running away from him in an attempt to keep him from wrecking games.

“Every game he gets double-teamed and everybody runs away from him,” Clark said of the attention Lezin gets. “Nobody really runs at him.”

They’ve already qualified for the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year and will most likely be seeded sixth in the South Jersey, Group III bracket.

“The beginning of the season we had a lot of kids injured,” Clark said of his team’s early season woes. “We’ve been fortunate to get our quarterback back and he’s a game-changer; he makes a big difference. I don’t think there’s a

better connection in the Shore right now then those two (Zyheir and Jyheir).”

The Piners are peaking at just the right time and could be a very dangerous team to handle and a tough out in the playoffs. It would also be a good time for Lezin to showcase his talents as one of the top defensive players in the state as the recruiting season heats up.

Still, even with all the attention, he’s averaging about 10 tackles a game and has recorded eight sacks with two regular season games remaining and the playoffs.

As a kid, Lezin’s favorite sport was actually soccer but his seventh grade coach at Lakewood Middle School, Bobby King, saw a big, athletic kid and thought a kid that big that moves that well could translate onto the football field.

He made the suggestion to Lezin and the rest is history.

This season, an injury to starting quarterback Zyheir Jones at the start of the season led to a 0-2 start. Two other losses by a combined eight points, including a 35-28 loss to No. 8 Point Boro where they had the ball at the 10-yard line with a chance to tie, saw their record dip to 1-4.

However, an impressive 27-7 win over Class A South Brick Township and an equally impressive 33-14 victory over Barnegat, where Jones and his twin brother Jyheir’s offensive production soared, has boosted their record to 3-4.
