POINT PLEASANT BEACH — The Garnet Gulls
boys tennis team is back at it after last sea-
son’s Central Jersey Group I quarterfinal
appearance. This year, the team is ready to
win and, more importantly, ready to have
some fun.
Second-year head coach Byran McElwee
is excited about this year’s roster as 21 stu-
dent-athletes have signed up for the varsi-
ty team, making depth a non-issue.
Last season, the Gulls went .500 within
their conference but did not win any

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH —
Panther baseball coach David
Drew defined this year’s
goals simply, saying, “We
want to win this division. We
want to make some noise in
the Shore Conference Tour-
nament. We want to make a
serious run in the Central Jer-
sey group II playoffs.
“We want to get as far as
we can get,” he added.
The reality is that Point
Boro has a good shot at being
a very competitive team this
season.
The Panthers only lost a
few players and return a lot
of starters from last year.
“It’s amazing to say —
we’re a young team, but we
have a lot of returning
starters,” said Drew. “We’re
just looking to build on what
we did last year. We liked
what we saw. We’re a very
young team, but we compet-
ed at a very high level and
will continue to do that.
We’re looking to have a
tremendous season.”
Seniors Jack Fitzsimmons
and John Youmans have the
same mind-set heading into
this season.
“We basically have almost
every starter back,” explained
Fitzsimmons, a third base-
man and outfielder. “We took
a lot of experience from last
year so hopefully we can use
that to be better this year.”
Youmans, a catcher, is deci-
sive in this year’s goals, say-
ing, “We learned a lot from
last year. We came in a little
short for the division but now
it’s up for grabs. We have all
the young guys coming back,
and we have us [the seniors].
It’s our final ride so we’re go-
ing to give it our all and go
for that division and go for
that state title.”
The preseason is underway
and it looks that pitching is
the strongest aspect of Point
Boro’s team so far.

THE OCEAN STAR
BRICK — The Point Boro
boys lacrosse team opened
up its inaugural varsity sea-
son on Wednesday. The Pan-
thers traveled to face the
Brick Township Green Drag-
ons at Drum Point Sports
Complex, where they lost by
a score of 12-1.
“We’re going to take some
lumps this year and I think
we need to prove ourselves,”
head coach Guy Lassen said
after the game. “It’s going to
be difficult but that’s what
life is about, adversity.”
With a steady rhythm of
rain falling on the turf field,
the first quarter opened up
relatively even for both teams
as they got a feel for each
other.
Before long, the Green
Dragons found the back of
the net first as senior Hunter
Palmer scored his first of sev-
en goals. A few minutes later,
Palmer weaved through the
Panther defense to score his
second goal of the game.
Right before the first quar-
ter came to a close, Brick’s
Nick D’Eufemia netted a goal
by leaping from behind the
net and putting the ball over
the goalie’s shoulder.
The Green Dragons were
up 3-0 at the end of the first,
but the Panthers were play-
ing aggressively and junior
goalie Ryan Bedle was saving
a lot more shots than he was
letting in.

WWW.STARNEWSGROUP.COMPAGE 30 THE OCEAN STAR FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2015 SPORTS
The first few rounds of the
NCAA Men’s basketball tour-
nament are over. Hairs have
been ripped out and bracket
sheets have been ripped up,
burned or shredded.
I mean, 14-seeded Univer-
sity of Alabama at Birming-
ham [UAB] over three-seed-
ed Iowa State University? I
got that one wrong.
And Baylor? Losing to
Georgia State? That’s
just...madness.
So the tournament has the
most appropriate name pos-
sible and to be fair, every
team in the tournament de-
served their shot and a few
have made the best of it, even
if they did not make it to the
sweet 16 round.
Some key occurrences in
this year’s tournament are as
follows:
The one-seeded teams re-
main undefeated in the round
of 64, defeating their 16-seed-
ed opponents. This is an all-
time stat. A 16-seed has never
beaten their one-seeded op-
ponent in the history of the
men’s tournament.
One-seeded Villanova was
then defeated by eight-seed
North Carolina State in the
round of 32, leading to a lot of
busted brackets. Don’t worry
though — one-seeds Ken-
tucky, Duke, and Wisconsin
are still in it.
Two-seeded Kansas and
Virginia were both beaten by
seven-seeds in the round of
32. In regards to the 11.57 mil-
lion brackets submitted to
ESPN this year, 68.2 percent
had Virginia in the sweet 16
round. 65.7 percent had
Kansas making an appear-
ance in the sweet 16.
Other smaller upsets oc-
curred, such as four-seeded
Maryland bowing out to five-
seed West Virginia as well as
five-seed Utah beating four-
seed Georgetown by 11.
As far as Cinderella teams
go, only one double-digit
seed has made it to this year’s
sweet 16.
The UCLA Bruins beat six-
seeded Southern Methodist
University thanks to a goal-
tending call on a Bruins 3-
pointer. They then beat UAB
without a hitch 92-75 to earn
their sweet 16 spot. The Bru-
ins were a team many
thought did not even deserve
to be in the tournament at all,
let alone be seeded at 11. With
something to prove, they will
face 2-seeded Gonzaga
tonight at 7:15 p.m. on CBS.
The sweet 16 round kicked
off yesterday and continues
today. Tomorrow and Sunday
will be the Elite 8 round and
the Final Four will be played
on April 3. The champi-
onship game takes place
April 6, when a victor will be
crowned and another three
weeks of madness will pass
as it has every year.
So begs the annual ques-
tion of workplace productivi-
ty and March Madness.
The wonderful people at
Challenger, Grey & Christ-
mas, Inc., a provider of exec-
utive outplacement search
services, have taken the time
to calculate money lost in ac-
cordance with the annual
tournament.
Based on an MSN survey
that estimates 56 percent of
workers plan to spend at least
one hour on March Madness
activities, roughly 77.7 million
workers will be costing their
employers a grand total of
$1.9 billion dollars. This num-
ber was calculated by multi-
plying 77.7 million by 24.78,
the average hourly earnings,
as of January, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics.
That’s a lot of wasted mon-
ey, right?
Well, not everyone be-
lieves these numbers to be
accurate, and most say they
should be taken with a grain
of salt. I mean, how can any-
one truly predict how much
time is going to be designated
to March Madness?
I for one filled out my
bracket and researched my
picks from the comfort of my
couch at home while watch-
ing Netflix.
Plus, only during this first
week are games played dur-
ing the common nine to five
work hours and the casual
participant is really only in-
terested in the final score and
whether or not their picks
are correct. They can find
this out just by checking
scores, which takes all of
about five minutes.
It’s the die-hard fans that
call out from work or stream
full games during their work
hours. But I’m sure that “free
time” is built in to any nine to
five job, because no one is
that work oriented for eight
hours straight at the end of
the week.
So, 1.9 billion seems high to
me, but I believe the number
would still be large if the
study were a bit more accu-
rate. In the big scheme of
things, productivity lost dur-
ing those two days does not
make too much of a notice-
able difference.
Some companies even em-
brace the tournament and
use it as a way to boost
morale. Allowing workers to
view games in the break
room at their leisure provides
an opportunity for interac-
tion with coworkers they
might not have interacted
with before. Using the tour-
nament as a way to build ca-
maraderie in the work place
is great for morale.
And to be even more blunt,
if a company imposed strict
regulations on the tourna-
ment in the workplace, peo-
ple would find a way around
it. Because time spent usurp-
ing the regulations is also
time not spent doing work.
In my opinion, I would be
more willing to stay late at
work if I had the leisure of
participating in March Mad-
ness during the day. On the
other hand, I would not be
willing to stay late if my
March Madness was restrict-
ed throughout the day, lead-
ing me to try and get out as
soon as possible.
So, with its growing popu-
larity in die-hard fans, run of
the mill fans, and the casual
viewer from year to year,
March Madness should be
embraced by the workplace.
Let workers fill out their
brackets, argue over picks
and cry when their bracket
gets busted. It happens only
once a year, and to give work-
ers a chance at some fun dur-
ing work will lead to a satis-
fied work force and,
afterward, an employee will-
ing and ready to go to work.

The boys lacrosse varsity
team had their first official
game of the program on
Wednesday.
It was a dreary and rainy
day and in the beginning of
the fourth and final quarter
the Panthers were down 10-
0.
This was almost expected
as the young team was fac-
ing lacrosse players that
have been playing for years
prior to high school.
As a team, the Panthers
did not let this get to their
heads. They played hard the
whole game and seemed to
pick up momentum in the
final quarter.
With a small advantage
due to a Brick Township
player earning a penalty, the
Panthers mounted an offen-
sive attack.
The ball was passed
around the field a few times
before it found its way into
the stick of Vincent Ceres.
Ceres, a member of the
junior varsity program last
season, handled the ball for
a second before ripping a
shot from 17 yards out.
The ball flew past the
Brick goalie and into the
back of the net.
“I’m really happy for that
goal and for him, but that
goal was for the entire pro-
gram,” said head coach Guy
Lassen after the game.
Ceres has been working
in the offseason in order to
prepare for the varsity
team’s first season. He at-
tended fall and winter
lacrosse clinics to improve
his skills and learn what he
could about the game.
His dedication has paid
off, and despite the loss, he
has the first official goal for
the Boro boys lacrosse pro-
gram.
According to Lassen, he
will save the ball and mark
it as something to look back
on years down the road
when the team progresses
and eventually wins their
first championship.

GOLF PREVIEW
Beach, Boro ready
for spring season
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT — Last sea-
son was a rare year for the
Panther golf team. The team
consisted of six new players
without varsity experience.
This year, though, coach
Pete Casalino is happy to
welcome back the key return-
ers in seniors Nick Stacy and
Gunnar Haberek as well as
sophomores Blake Baretta
and Jack Waddleton. Juniors
Amy Bergquist and Shealin
Donovan also return for the
Panthers.
According to Casalino, all
of those players have been
working on their game in the
offseason.
Stacy and Haberek have
been concentrating on their
short games since last season
ended and Baretta and Wad-
dleton have been spending
time on the putting green.
Bergquist and Donovan have
been taking lessons and put-
ting in time on the range.
The Panthers will have a
tough season ahead of them
as they enter a new division
this year.
“We are entering a new di-
vision, B North, and will be
the only Ocean County
team,” said Casalino. “The
Monmouth County teams
have been stronger as of late,
so it will be a challenge.”
Point Boro will meet the
challenge with open arms
and will look to a few new-
comers to round out the
squad.
Newcomers include senior
Ryan Patterson, freshman
David Patterson, freshman
John McTaggart and fresh-
man Alex Johnson.
Casalino is happy about
the new players, saying,
“[They] have impressed with
their commitment to getting
better by being coachable
right from the start.”
This is an important quali-
ty to have because it makes
them easy to teach, which
further improves their indi-
vidual skills.
The weather has not been
cooperating too well with the
golf team, so they have had a
tough go at getting out on the
course to practice. Casalino
has still made the effort to
teach the physical instruc-
tion, which includes grip,
stance, swing, etc.
According to Casalino,
along with junior varsity
coach Mike Edolo, they have
been working on a lot of oth-
er things with the team.
These include course man-
agement, golf etiquette and
better overall understanding
of the rules.
Course management in-
cludes what type of swing to
make in a tough spot, when
to take chances and where to
“miss,” if necessary.
As far as golf etiquette
goes, this pertains to where
to stand when others putt,
maintenance of the course,
etc.
For the overall rules, they
have been teaching the team
when, where and how to take
a drop, when penalty strokes
are incurred, etc.
The team has a tough road
ahead of them this season,
but they have a positive out-
look and are ready to com-
pete in their new division.
Point Boro golf will get
their first taste of competi-
tion at the Wall Invitational,
which will be held on April 1.
Their first match will then
be away against Wall Town-
ship on April 6 at 3:30 p.m.
POINT BEACH
The Garnet Gulls golf team
has similar goals for this
spring.
“We are hoping to improve
on our team average, wins
from last year and just im-
prove throughout the lineup,”
said head coach Jeff Bower.
“The biggest thing we need
to improve on is just becom-
ing more consistent through-
out the season.”
Last year Point Beach was
right around the .500 mark.
Bower hopes to improve this
record in a tough B Central
division.
According to him, the two
tough teams to beat this sea-
son will be St. Rose and Rum-
son.
He has faith in his return-
ers to help lead the team to
victory. Key returners to the
team are Andrew Pidduck,
Alex Ciorlian, Casey Therien,
Colby Boylan and Ryan Han-
rahan.

POINT PLEASANT BEACH BASEBALL PREVIEW
Beach’s Gulls playing one game at a time
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH — It’s
been a chilly week, but Point
Beach baseball is not letting
that stop the team from gear-
ing up for the 2015 season.
The Gulls finished last sea-
son with an overall record of
9-13. They made an appear-
ance in the quarterfinal
round of the Central Jersey
Group I playoffs, where they
fell to Middlesex.
Putting last year in the
rearview mirror, the team is
geared up and ready for a
productive season.
According to head coach
Angelo Fiore, the team has a
lot of key returners. These in-
clude Antonio Garcia, Mike
Frauenheim, Geno Antognoli,
John VanSchoick, John Daly,
Trevor Thomas, Kevin Don-
nelly, Ryan Franzoni, Joe Del-
grippo, Tanner Smith, Con-
ner Prima, Ian Gaynor, Ryan
Craig and Roddy Rupp.
Fiore refers to the team as
“young and athletic, with a
core group of strong return-
ers.”
He feels they will need to
count on the leadership of
seniors Garcia, Frauenheim,
Antognoli, Daly and Thomas.
“Antonia Garcia will look
to resume his role pounding
out hits and RBIs,” said Fiore.
Frauenheim, an outfielder,
had several big key hits in
2014, and Fiore looks forward
to a big contribution from
him in his senior season.
In terms of pitching, the
Gulls have strength in Van-
Schoick and Donnelly.
“We look to have a break-
out season from junior John
VanSchoick and sophomore
Kevin Donnelly on the
mound as well as at the
plate,” Fiore said.
The team is looking to im-
prove on last year’s result,
and Fiore thinks this can be
achieved with solid contribu-
tions from Daly, Antognoli
and Thomas.
The Garnet Gulls compete
in the B Central division and,
as Fiore said, “Anything can
happen in Group I.”
They aim to take it one
game at a time and hopefully
build on each. With a roster
containing eight seniors and
many returning players, Point
Beach has a lot of experience
under its collective cleats.
The Gulls will work toward
a productive season and
make another run in the divi-
sion and, hopefully, in the
Group I playoffs at the end of
the season.
The Gulls open their sea-
son on April 1 on the road
against Asbury Park. The
game is scheduled for a 3:45
p.m. start.
Their home opener will be
on April 2 at 4 p.m., when
they square off with Keyport.

DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR
The Point Beach baseball team throws at a chilly Monday afternoon practice. The team looks to
improve last year’s overall record of 9-13.
The Garnet Gull baseball team will go to Asbury Park for their first
game on Wednesday. Their home opener will be on Thursday against
Keyport.
Offensively, hitting has been
a little sluggish, but Drew is
not too worried about it yet.
“Right now it looks like our
pitching and our defense in
the preseason has been pret-
ty good. We certainly feel like
we have a strong offense as
well, but like every season,
hitting in March is a little dif-
ficult,” said Drew. “I think hit-
ting will come around as the
season approaches and our
pitching and defense will just
continue to get stronger.”
Youmans agrees with
Drew, saying, “We have to
work on our hitting a little
bit, but right now pitching is
the main strength we have.”
The players have been
working diligently during the
offseason to prepare for this
year.
“We’ve been doing a lot of
hitting in the offseason,” said
Fitzsimmons. “On defense
we hope to be a lot better de-
fensively than we were last
year.”
According to Youmans,
they have been working on
quicker hands, quicker feet,
and agility in the field,
which will yield better de-
fensive play all around.
Drew is proud of the
work his athletes have put
into the offseason, especial-
ly since he cannot coach
them all year around.
“These guys — so many
of them are dedicated and
have their own personal
trainers,” said Drew. “They
go and hit and pitch and
they’re all doing their own
work, and that’s great for
the team.”
The Point Boro players’
hard work will come to
fruition this season, but
Drew is sure to emphasize
taking the season one game
at a time.
“We open up against
Manchester and that’ll be
our goal for that day. We
play Barnegat the next day
and that’ll be our goal on that
day,” Drew said. “Every divi-
sion game is a tough game.
We want to win that division,
that’s our first goal.”
The Panthers face strong
teams like Jackson Liberty,
Barnegat and Manchester.
Drew is confident that if they
can beat those teams, the di-
vision title will be within
reach.
Point Boro baseball opens
up its season away against
Manchester Township on
Wednesday, April 1, with the
game set to begin at 4 p.m.
Their home opener will be
the next day, April 2, against

The girls team works on some running drills at Monday’s practice. They will look for the underclass-
men to anchor the team this year.
Being a small school makes depth an issue for Point Beach, but Coach Bill Evans has faith that the team
can still be competitive in the B Central Division this season.
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH — The
Point Pleasant Beach track
and field team will be looking
at a lot of young talent for
points this spring season.
The Gulls graduated a few
seniors last year and only a
few remain to the lead the
team.
“We lost a few seniors so
we’re just looking to be com-
petitive in the B Central,” said
track coach Bill Evans. “We
don’t have a lot of depth, but
we have enough people to fill
all the events. We just don’t
have four or five kids per
event.”
Point Beach competes in
the B Central division along
with Mater Dei and St. Rose,
two schools that are always
competitive.
“We’re all small schools
but St. Rose and Mater Dei
have a lot of athletes out for
track and they’ve always been
consistently good,” explained
Evans.
Evans will look to senior
Matt Savage and senior Katie
Frio to lead the younger ath-
letes and help provide guid-
ance throughout the season.
THE BOYS TEAM
According to Evans, the
boys as a team finished last
year 3-4. While they will al-
ways aim to improve their
record, Evans believes if his
athletes are improving indi-
vidually, then they are suc-
ceeding.
“Each Friday if you’re long
jumping 15 feet and you’re go-
ing 15-06 the next Friday —
well, you got better. And once
you get better, you don’t want
to go down,” said Evans. “Lit-
tle things like that we tell
them each day. Work hard
when you’re here and you’ll
see the improvement. That’s
what we look for.”
The boys team returns
some sprinters from last year
in Joey LaDuca and Connor
Kells and Evans has faith that
the distance events will re-
main strong throughout the
season.
As far as the throwing
events go [shot put, discus,
javelin], Evans places faith in
the young guys, saying,
“We’ve got some newcomers.
John Wagner is going to help
us in the shot put. Ethan Has-
se went to the state sectionals
last year in the discus and
he’s back for us, so that’s
good.”
The one event the boys
team will need to find some
new talent in are the jumps.
“One of our weaknesses is
going to be the jumps. We
need to find some bodies for
all three jumps [long, triple,
and high jump],” said Evans.
“We need to find some
hurdlers. So they’re kind of
our weak spot right now —
we just need to try some peo-
ple out. We have a lot of new-
comers this year that are
looking to try the hurdles and
the jumps,” he added.
Savage, who competes in
the 400-meter run, has been
working out in the weight
room to prepare for this year.
He also played soccer in the
fall, which is a great sport for
conditioning.
“We kind of had an average
year last year so we want to
beat St. Rose and Shore, our
main competitors,” said Sav-
age.
As far as individuals go
Savage says he wants every-
one to improve and to go as
far as they can go in terms of
counties, sectionals and
states.
Being one of the few sen-
iors on the boys team, Savage
wants to teach the juniors on
the team effective leadership
skills, saying, “We want to
leave them with something
good — building blocks to
build off of.”
In addition to these goals,
Savage says he would also
like to see the team hold a
winning record this year and
he has faith this season will
be better than last year’s.
THE GIRLS TEAM
On the girls’ side of the
track are similar voids that
need to be filled.
“We’re going to be kind of
strong distance wise from the
400 on up,” said Evans. “We
have to find some sprinters
but we have some promising
freshmen that can fill that
void.”
The girls are also looking
for jumpers, hurdlers and
throwers.
“We need to find jumpers
and hurdlers,” said Evans.
“We lost a lot of girls in our
weights but we have some
kids that will show us prom-
ise because we know they’re
good athletes in other
sports.”
Evans will look to young
talents Brooke Perna and
Cameron Barnes to fill some
spots in the girls events. Even
though the team is full of un-
derclassmen, Frio has hope
that the younger girls will
pick up the slack well.
“We have a lot of good un-
derclassmen. The freshman
class has a lot of good run-
ners so I think there’s a lot of
potential there,” said Frio, the
lone female senior.
She has been working out
at the gym every day in order
to increase her chances of
competing in the 800 in post-
season events like the Meet
of Champions. She also
played soccer in the fall.
With experience under her
belt, Frio offered simple ad-
vice to the underclassmen,
saying, “Don’t slack off. In the
long run, you won’t get any
better from it.”
Evans has a positive out-
look for the spring season
and is excited about the up-
coming talent that’s available.
The team has been work-
ing out and this year Evans
implemented a plyometric
program to help improve the
runners’ ability. They have
also been doing drills focused
on jumping to improve that
aspect of the team.
Again, Evans stressed that
at the end of the day, self-im-
provement is the best goal to
reach.
“Even though you’re run-
ning and jumping against
competition, you’re really
against the clock and the tape
measure,” said Evans. “You
want to better yourself each
week.”
The Point Beach track and
field team will open their
season on April 14 at home.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Proposed Flood Hazard
Determinations for Ocean
County, New Jersey
(All Jurisdictions)
The Department of Homeland
Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has
issued a Preliminary and Revised
Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate
Map (FIRM), and where applica-
ble, Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
report, reflecting proposed flood
hazard determinations within vari-
ous communities in Ocean County.
These flood hazard determinations
may include the addition or modi-
fication of Base Flood Elevations,
base flood depths, Special Flood
Hazard Area boundaries or zone
designations, or the regulatory
floodway. Technical information
or comments are solicited on the
proposed flood hazard determina-
tions shown on the Preliminary
and Revised Preliminary FIRM
and/or FIS report for various com-
munities in Ocean County. These
flood hazard determinations are
the basis for the floodplain man-
agement measures that your com-
munity is required to either adopt
or show evidence of being already
in effect in order to qualify or
remain qualified for participation
in the National Flood Insurance
Program. However, before these
determinations are effective for
floodplain management purposes,
you will be provided an opportuni-
ty to appeal the proposed informa-
tion. For information on the statu-
tory 90-day period provided for
appeals, as well as a complete list-
ing of the communities affected
out-of-conference games.
They compete with teams like
St. Rose, Ranney, Henry Hud-
son, and Keansburg — all
competitive opponents.
According to McElwee, the
teams to beat in order to win
the conference will be St. Rose
and Ranney.
“We did okay in the confer-
ence. We went 5-5 so I’d like to
do a little better in the confer-
ence,” said McElwee. “Out of
conference we didn’t win any
games, so I’d like to win some
out of conference games.”
The goal is not too lofty, as
Point Beach has a good set of
returning talent for the spring
season.
Senior captain Gerrard
Giordano is one such returner
that the team will rely heavily
on. Last year, Giordano won
counties for first singles and
will be taking his talents to
The College of New Jersey
next year.
“He’s a great kid and really
dedicated,” stated McElwee.
“We just need him to do well
and do what he did last year.”
Giordano went 17-3 last sea-
son and was named Ocean
County boys tennis player of
the year. His opening play real-
ly sets the tone for the Gulls in
the rest of the match.
Another strong singles play-
er returning for Point Beach is
junior Trevor Hinds. He has
played tennis throughout his
life and joined the varsity
squad last year after playing
baseball his freshman year.
Hinds is proud of the
progress the team has made,
saying, “I thought we really
progressed, I guess, in team
building and really I just got
better at tennis in general. We
really bonded as a team.”
The lefty says his serve is
his strongest aspect of play but
he really wants to work on vol-
leys and short plays up on the
net throughout the season, be-
cause he feels they are the
team’s weakest attribute.
Hinds has been exercising
regularly during the offseason
as well as playing tennis when
he got the chance. Coach
McElwee encouraged his play-
ers to get in offseason work
and to go to clinics or get les-
sons when they could.
“A couple other guys did a
lot of work offseason so
they’ve really stepped up their
game to get better,” said McEl-
wee.
He recognizes that a lot of
his players participate in other
sports and that tennis might
not be their number one sport,
but McElwee knows his play-
ers have done their best to
play year round and keep a
tennis racquet in their hand.
Returning doubles players
Steven Dyson and Miles
Mancini played together last
year and have been working in
the offseason in preparation
for a strong year on the court.
“We had a lot of fun last
year and we get along really
well, so we’re a good team,”
said Dyson, a senior. “This
year I wanted to play doubles
with Miles again. We want to
win more.”
Dyson has been doing semi-
private lessons with his broth-
er and going to the gym to stay
in shape. Meanwhile, doubles
partner Mancini has been im-
proving his game at the At-
lantic Club, getting indoor
playing time whenever he
could.
“I think this year my im-
proved net play is really going
to come into effect, hopefully,”
said Mancini. “My forehand is
good and I’m just trying to im-
prove everything overall.”
While the duo is ready to
win and ready to improve,
they still keep having fun at
the forefront of their priorities.
“We want to communicate
more and become a better
team because we have the
chance to look at our improve-
ment over the last two years,”
explained Mancini. “I’m look-
ing forward to a good season.”
“I think we’re going to have
a lot of fun,” he added.
Dyson is also ready to have
some fun and is particularly
excited about the young talent
on the team this season, say-
ing, “We have a lot of fresh-
men that are really good. This
should be a good year and next
year should be even better.”
Dyson will be working on
his consistency this season
and perfecting his form.
Point Beach will open their
season on the road against
Mater Dei. The game is sched-
uled for April 1 at 4 p.m.

STEVEN DYSON
In the second quarter, Brick
piled on three more goals in
the same manner: one from
D’Eufemia and two from
Palmer.
The Panthers entered the
half down 6-0. The green
Dragons were dominant of-
fensively and Point Boro at-
tempted few shots on goal.
The third quarter opened
up with another goal for Brick
from seven yards out. The
Green Dragons added anoth-
er three goals before the end
of the third.
In the fourth quarter, the
Panthers came to life and
seemed to be moving with a
little more speed and playing
with a little more aggression.
This led to the first official
goal for the varsity team.
Vincent Ceres netted a
laser of a goal from around 17
yards out much to the delight
of the team and the fans that
made the small trip out in the
rain.
“He’s worked very hard in
the offseason. He was in the
fall and winter leagues,”
Lassen said of Ceres. “I’m re-
ally happy for that goal and
for him, but that goal was for
the entire program.”
Brick found the net twice
more before the final whistle
finalizing its victory, 12-1.
While the Panthers lost,
they still had strong aspects
of their game to be proud of.
“The goalie was phenome-
nal,” stated Lassen. “He was
the bright spot of our team to-
day.”
Bedle was the goalie on the
junior varsity squad last year
and he really did a solid job
protecting the net from a bar-
rage of shots throughout the
game.
Despite the loss, Lassen
and the team are still excited
for their first season as a var-
sity team.
Lassen has been working
hard to bring the sport to the
forefront of the school district
and the town. He organized
clinics in the offseason and
has established a feeder pro-
gram to get lacrosse sticks in
the hands of younger players.
Now that the season is un-
derway, Lassen is really con-
centrating on the team im-
proving every day.
“The big thing is I want
them to get better with each
and every day. I want them to
grow and learn to love the
sport. I want them to never be
satisfied,” Lassen said. “You
need to practice hard because
the game is fast. If you don’t
practice fast and hard then
you’re not going to do that in
the game.”
The preseason practices
have been tough to come by
with the weather being so un-
cooperative this year.
Point Boro has managed
what they could. According to
Lassen, he has a lot of athletes
on the squad that will make
strong lacrosse players. He’s
teaching them to understand
aspects of the game like set-
ting picks, screens and give-
and-go plays.
“On offense, we need to
move the ball better,” said
Lassen.
He has faith the team will
find success if they trust the
system, saying, “As we move
forward I think we’re going to
be successful but it’s going to
take some patience.”
They were patient in their
season opener and rewarded
with the first goal of the pro-
gram. The team will continue
to work hard this season and
will continue having fun in
the process.
“They just need to be pa-
tient and have fun while do-
ing it. If you’re not having fun
then you shouldn’t be out
here in the first place,” said
Lassen.
“This is only the begin-
ning,” he added. “I see bright
things happening for Point
Boro lacrosse.”
The Panthers will play their
home opener tomorrow at 10
a.m. against a tough Shore Re-
gional squad at Stadium Field.
Offseason work earns goal
PANTHERS
FROM PAGE 29
According to coach Guy Lassen, the Panthers have a tough road
ahead. If they continue to improve every day, he has faith the wins
will come later in the season.

This Saturday the Shark
River Surf Anglers [SRSA]
will be stocking Spring Lake
at 9:30 a.m. in preparation for
their 8 a.m. opening day kid’s
trout contest on April 4th.
All kids and adults are invit-

“This year’s contest is sched-
uled for Saturday April 4th
from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and it

Great prizes will be a huge
part of the day, as we award a
sensational Grand Prize to an
overall winner, and first, sec-
ond and third place prizes to
individual winners in each of
four different age categories.
We are especially pleased
that each and every contest-
ant will go home a winner, as
we present all participants
with a “thank you” prize
package that typically con-
tains $40 worth of goods and
gear.
On the day of the event, we
set up several large tents on
the north side of the lake to
serve as contest headquar-
ters. Our club members are
gathered there to answer any
questions, provide fishing
guidance and instruction,
and supply bait and tackle to
anyone that needs it. And
that’s not all. Certainly a
great day of outdoor family
fun isn’t complete without
food, right? Thanks to gra-
cious donations by our spon-
sors, we are able to offer free
hot chocolate, donuts, bagels,
hot dogs, chips, juice, ice
cream and soda to partici-
pants throughout the day.
We hope you will consider
supporting us as we promote
this entertaining and healthy
family oriented outdoor
activity. We would love to be
able to include your contri-
bution on our ever growing
“Wall of Thanks”, where we
appreciatively display our
sponsors on the day of the
tournament and at our web-
site. With your continued
support and the cooperative
help of the New Jersey
Division of Fish and Game,
we expect another fun day of
fishing, food, and family. For
donations checks can be
made payable to “SRSA
Children’s Trout
Tournament” and mailed to
Gregory Hueth, 2167 Gregory
Place, Sea Girt, NJ 08750.
Your contributions are great-
ly appreciated.”
Hueth has also announced
that again this Sunday “The
SRSA will be giving another
free kids trout seminar at 11
a.m. at the Reel Seat in
Brielle. Kids and parents are
welcome. We will be going
over fish identification, fish-
ing techniques, knots, dress-
ing accordingly for condi-
tions, what to bring to the
lake on opening day, tackle,
and how to fish for the trout.
Basically anything that they
need to get started and catch
a fish.”

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
Spring Lake to be stocked this weekend
TIP OF THE WEEK
FROM JIM FREDA
If you are fishing the back-
bays now for striped bass,
don’t wade out too far to
cast as the bass will come
up closer to shore on the
flats where the water will
be warmer.
