Bond is a first-team All-Shore player on his production alone, but the numbers tell only part of the story with regard to the University of Rhode Island recruit. That part of the story, though, is mighty impressive. This season, Bond scored 25 goals to go with 13 assists, which was an improvement over his 20-goal, 15-assist season and was good for second in the Shore Conference in total scoring behind Jon Junqueira of Shore. Those 25 goals were a single-season record at Holmdel and they rounded out Bond's school-record of 58 goals and 34 assists for his three-year varsity career. What stood out most over Bond's career is his postseason production, which includes 23 goals and nine assists in 28 postseason games between the Shore Conference and

NJSIAA Tournaments over four years. In 18 NJSIAA Tournament games in three years, Bond has scored 15 goals, which includes six game-winning goals. This year, he scored 11 goals and two assists in 10 postseason games, including seven goals in the NJSIAA Group II Tournament. Holmdel has played in three straight NJSIAA finals and Bond is the only player to play in all three championship games.
Coach of the Year: Tom Reilly
Ocean
Few failures in sports feel worse than ending a season with a loss in a penalty-kick shootout, and that bitter taste of penalty-kick defeat lingered in the mouths of the Ocean Township boys soccer players following a 13-12 shootout loss to Middletown South in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III quarterfinal.
Spartans head coach Tom Reilly, wrapping up his 28th season at the head of Ocean's program, had to think of something to say to his players after one of the toughest and most unfitting ends to a season that Reilly had experienced.
"I had to think of what to say to them after and it was tough because there's really not a worse way to

see your season end," Reilly said. "I just told them that it hurts right now, but in a few weeks, when we have our team banquet, I want them to look back fondly on this season and recognize it for what it was and that was one of the great years in program history."
Heartbreaking finish aside, Ocean indeed had one of its best seasons under Reilly, the 2012 All Shore Media Boys Soccer Coach of the Year who has had plenty of success in 28 years with the Spartans. The 2012 installment of Ocean boys soccer finished the season 18-1-2, winning the Shore Conference Tournament for the fourth time and first time since 2001.
"I think what stood out about this team was the script was never the same," Reilly said. "There were games we had to grind out and win 2-1 against teams we thought we'd handle, there were games we'd have to find a way to come back, and there were games that we ran away and hid against good teams. You could never really guess how the game was going to go, but our guys always found a way to pull through, and I think that's what I'll remember most about this team."
