POINT BORO — If you threw a
glance out to the center-field
fence of the Point Boro soft-
ball field on Saturday morn-
ing, you would see the field
had been dubbed “Ferullo
Field.” This, to honor the lo-
cal Boro legend and long-
time softball coach Steve Fer-
ullo.
Ferullo has been the Boro
softball coach for 25 years,
but that is not all he does. He
has also coached the Boro
soccer team, the middle
school wrestling team, and
has been a health and physi-
cal education teacher at Me-
morial Middle School for 40
years.
After Saturday’s game,
friends, old and current play-
ers, and fellow coaches took
the time to share memories
and recognize Ferullo for all
that he has put into his teams,
players and students.
“I wouldn’t want to coach
with anyone else other than
Ferullo. He makes every day
fun. The kids work hard, and
it’s a great atmosphere to be
involved in,” said assistant
coach Tricia Palmieri. “All the
Point athletics are so true to
the kid and so true to the
sport. Steve’s a legend here,
so it’s just great. I really enjoy
being here.”
Ferullo has had an impact
on many of his players
throughout the years as both
a teacher and a coach. Senior
softball player Alli Blisnuk
had him as a teacher in mid-
dle school and a coach in
high school.
“I play for the team, but re-
ally, I play for him. I don’t
ever want to disappoint him,”
Blisnuk said. “If he weren’t
here it would be a totally dif-
ferent game. I definitely have
enjoyed the last four years.”
Pitcher and senior Amanda
Caputo recalled a time back
during freshman year when
she used to lie to Ferullo
about having her jersey to get
out of playing with varsity.
“I really wish I didn’t lie to
him because it was a lot of
fun,” she said laughing. “He’s
always in it with us and he
makes us happy no matter
how disappointed he is. He is
always just trying to make us
feel better and he’s always
optimistic, and he’s a great
coach.”
Palmieri, Blisnuk and Ca-
puto all pointed to Ferullo’s
sense of humor that made
him such an affable coach.
Something Blisnuk and Ca-
puto will always remember is
the phrase, “Who loves ya,
baby?” that usually followed a
player’s silly mistake or play.
It was a frequently used term
of endearment that let Ferul-
lo’s players know that their
error was the least of his wor-
ries.
Palmieri also appreciates
Ferullo’s style of coaching
and the relationships he
forms with his players, ones

POINT PLEASANT — Last Thursday,
the Point Boro tennis team played
North Plainfield in the first round of
the Central Group II state tourna-
ment. In an extremely close match,
the eighth-seeded Panthers lost 3-2 to
their ninth-seeded opponents.
Ken Fellows was bested by his op-
ponent in two sets, 6-0 and 6-0. Der-
rick Fisher and Seamus Higgins also
dropped their singles’ matches but
not before putting forth valiant ef-
forts.
Higgins had trouble in the first set
against his opponent losing 6-0 but
picked up play in the next set.
“He’s another hard-working kid,”
said head coach Ryan Speiser. “He
played hard and played our kind of
style, and he’s a kid that will go in
and play as hard as he can — and
those are the kids you want on your
team.”
Higgins eventually fell 6-4. Mean-
while, Fischer was still pushing hard
in his singles match.
“Derrick is probably our technical-
ly best player. He’s a guy that knows
what shots to hit,” explained Speiser.
“He probably has the highest tennis
IQ on the team. He kept us in it.”
Fischer took the first set 6-4 but
then dropped the second set 6-0. The
third set, which was the longest of
the three, was a battle to the very
end. Unfortunately, Fischer eventual-
ly lost 6-4.

POINT BORO BASEBALL NOTEBOOK
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — The Panther
baseball team had a tough
start to their week as they fell
just short of earning a spot in
this year’s Shore Conference
Tournament [SCT].
They needed a .500 record
by the end of the day Satur-
day and looked for one win
out of two games scheduled.
The first game was last
Thursday against Pinelands
Regional on the road where
the Panthers fell 5-1. John
Youmans scored the lone run
for Boro.
On Saturday Point Boro
had one last chance to qualify
in a home game against Shore
Regional, who was also look-
ing for an SCT spot. The Pan-
thers lost a close game 6-5,
losing a spot in the tourna-
ment.
Point Boro had managed to
build a 5-3 lead through five
innings of play. Shore Region-
al got hot in the top of the
sixth batting in three runs to
take the 6-5 lead. The Panther
defense put a stop to the run
scoring in the top of the sev-
enth inning and went to work
at the plate to find a tying run
or the win.
Frank Graziano got things
started with a single that was
mishandled by the Shore
shortstop. He then stole sec-
ond and eventually took third
thanks to a fly ball from Se-
bastian Severio, which was
also the first out. Quinn Hor-
nish was next up for Boro but
unfortunately he struck out.
Jack Fitzsimmons then bat-
tled hard at the plate but
grounded out to short,
stranding Graziano and end-
ing the game.
With the losses behind
them, the Panthers got back
into form on Monday with a
4-3 win over Red Bank Re-
gional at home.
The game was a back-and-
forth affair that the Panthers
managed to stay on top of.
On the mound for Boro
was Michael Falconetti who
pitched four innings, striking
out three and giving up four
runs.
Red Bank scored first in
the top of the first inning on
an RBI single. Point Boro an-
swered with their turn at bat.
With two outs put away,
Graziano got the bats started
with a line drive in the right
field gap for a double.
Severio, a lefty, smacked a
deep fly ball the opposite way
out to left field scoring
Graziano and earning himself
a double. The Panthers then
loaded the bases on a single
and a walk.
Sean Connor, next up at
bat, remained patient enough
at the plate to earn a walk,
scoring another run for Point
Boro and the 2-1 lead. Dan
Cornish flew out to left field
for the final out.
The score remained the
same through the second in-
ning and Falconetti picked up
his second strikeout of the
game.
He then ran into some
trouble in the third inning.
After loading the bases, he
struck out the next Red Bank
batter in five pitches. Boro
then gave up a sacrifice fly
that scored another run for
Red Bank.
On a play where Severio,
the catcher, tried to pick off
the runner at first with a
throw from home ended with
Red Bank taking the lead as
the throw was mishandled
and the runner on third stole
home. The final out came on
a fly ball to right field.
The Panthers kept the
game tight and tied it up in
the bottom of the third with
an RBI single from Connor.
In the fourth inning Point
Boro kept their opponents at
three runs and took a one-run
lead in the bottom of the in-
ning.
With Sam Monaco already
on base and at third,
Graziano hit a liner up the
middle scoring the eventual
winning run.
In the fifth inning Boro
brought in junior Tim Rossi
to close out the game. Boro
took care of the Red Bank of-
fense and went back to work
at the plate. They were un-
able to get anyone across
home and the score remained
4-3 heading into the sixth in-
ning.
Rossi put himself into a
small jam, walking two Red
Bank batters after getting the
first batter to ground out to
short. He collected himself
though and struck out the
next batter on four pitches
and the last batter on three
straight strikes.
Boro could not add to their
lead but only had to keep Red
Bank from scoring any runs
in the final inning to claim
the win.
The inning began with a
single past Fitzsimmons at
third. The next batter laid
down a bunt that Severio
scooped with a barehanded
pickup and threw to first for
the out. The next Red Bank
batter laid down a grounder
that Point Boro kept in the in-
field but could not turn into
an out.
The runners on base ended
up not being a problem
though as Rossi took control
from the mound striking out
the next two batters to close
out the 4-3 win at home.
“When you end the game
with two strikeouts, that’s a
tremendous job by Tim,”
stated head coach David
Drew. “He wanted the ball
there and he definitely want-
ed to go after those batters
and he did.”
Rossi knew he was a little
shaky from the mound but
was happy with the end re-
sult, saying, “Location was a
little shaky but when adrena-
line started flowing I just felt
the ball come out really
good.”
Drew was also proud of
Falconetti who has been a
factor from the mound in
more than half of Boro’s
games this season.
“This kid is a workhorse
and I got to give him a lot of
credit. We’re also a little
nervous sometimes when
he’s out there — is he pitch-
ing too much,” explained
Drew. “But he never com-
plains, he keeps working
hard, he gets the job done
and he keeps us in ball
games. I’m really happy that
he was able to get a win today
and Rossi was there to close
it out for him.”
At the plate Graziano fin-
ished with three hits, an in-
tentional walk, and the RBI
that made the difference.
“I was just looking to see
the ball low and just drive it,”
said Graziano who had no
problem hitting off both of
the Red Bank pitchers. “They
both threw about the same
speed so I was just waiting to
sit back and drive the ball.”
Graziano had been injured
for the bulk of the season so
Drew was happy he could get
back in the game and have a
substantial impact.
“The poor kid was injured
for more than half our sea-
son. He’s a great player, an all
shore type of player but has-
n’t had the at-bats and all that
stuff,” said Drew. “But cer-
tainly he showed today that
he belongs and you don’t
want to pitch to him in a big
spot.”
The win was a much-need-
ed one for the Panthers as
they have the state tourna-
ment on the horizon as well
as a big game tomorrow night
against crosstown rival Point
Beach.
“It was a big team win for
us. We definitely needed this
one going forward with states
coming up,” said Rossi.
“It feels great,” added
Drew. “We were a little down
because we didn’t qualify for
the Shore Conference Tour-
nament and we came so close
in a game we thought we
should have won.”
He was impressed with the
effort his team put forth, say-
ing, “Coming out today was a
scary thought because the
team could have went either
way but they battled. And
again, that’s a credit to them,
a credit to who they are and
what they’re about. One thing
I’ve learned over the five
years here is that these Boro
kids are tough and they want
to win and they want to keep
fighting and they want to
keep playing.”
Point Boro then went on to
play Rumson-Fair Haven on
the road Wednesday.
They lost 3-2 in a game that
went to extra innings.
The Panthers took a 2-0
lead in the fourth inning and
Rumson tied it up in the
sixth.
The score remained even
until the bottom of the ninth
inning when Rumson man-
aged a run to take the win.
Yesterday they hosted
Lacey in a game occurring
too late for this week’s Ocean
Star. Be sure to read next
week’s issue for results.

POINT BEACH BASEBALL NOTEBOOK
Garnet Gulls win one, drop three
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — After begin-
ning the week with a 19-4
win on the road against
Keansburg, the Garnet Gulls
dropped two close games.
They lost to Spotswood at
home on Saturday 11-8 and
to Holmdel on the road 9-7.
The game against Keans-
burg on Thursday was a
good way to start the busy
week. The Gulls batted in 16
runs in the first three in-
nings of play, pretty much
ensuring a victory early on.
On the mound to start for
Point Beach was John Nista
who struck out two, walked
two, and only gave up two
hits through two innings of
play.
Next up on the mound
was sophomore Kevin Don-
nelly who also pitched two
innings. He struck out four
batters and allowed only
one hit.
Freshman Chris Russo
closed out the game in the
fifth inning after Point
Beach let in four runs. Russo
struckout one batter during
his time on the mound.
Joe Delgrippo was the big
man at the plate, going 3-for-
3 with six RBIs. Nista, John
VanSchoick, Tanner Smith
and Zach Schaller all fin-
ished with 2 RBIs.
The Gull defense kept
Keansburg down to only
five hits and committed only
two errors in the field.
The momentum from the
game carried over into Sat-
urday’s game against
Spotswood but it was not
enough to secure a win, de-
spite racking up nine hits.
Starting on the mound for
Point Beach was Geno An-
tognoli. He shut out
Spotswood in the first in-
ning and Point Beach got on
the board first with one run.
In the second inning the
Gulls gave up two runs to
Spotswood but answered
with two of their own to
hold a 3-2 lead. They scored
on a John Daly single and a
wild pitch from Spotswood.
Russo then went to work
on the mound for Point
Beach but had a trouble-
some inning despite striking
out two batters. The team
gave up seven runs in the in-
ning and Russo walked
three.
The Garnet Gulls still
played strong from the plate
and put up four runs with
their turn at bat. Only down
two runs, Donnelly stepped
to the rubber and pitched
the final four innings.
Point Beach held
Spotswood scoreless in the
fourth, fifth and sixth in-
nings. They also added one
run to their total in the bot-
tom of the fourth, cutting
the Spotswood lead to 9-8.
In the final inning
Spotswood opened up their
lead a bit with two more
runs before the Gulls were
able to get the third out.
Down 11-8, Point Beach
was unable to respond with
their turn at bat losing the
game at home.
Donnelly struck out six
batters through four innings
on the mound. Daly finished
with two RBIs on two hits
while Delgrippo produced
two RBIs on one hit.
On Monday the team trav-
eled to play Holmdel and
suffered another loss during
a close game.
Point Beach scored first
with a run in the second in-
ning but Holmdel answered
with two runs and then four
more in the third.
The Gulls chipped away
and added another run in
the fourth and one more in
the top of the fifth to come
within three.
Holmdel was not quite
finished though and they
batted in three runs to take a
9-3 lead in the bottom of the
fifth inning.
The sixth inning re-
mained scoreless for both
teams but the Gulls came
alive with their final turn at
bat in the seventh.
They put together a four-
run inning before Holmdel
closed the door on the
comeback to take the 9-7
win.
Point Beach was not done
with baseball for the week
yet and went up against Red
Bank Catholic on the road
Wednesday in the first
round of the Shore Confer-
ence Tournament.
The Gulls, seeded at 25
lost 17-1 to the eight-seeded
Red Bank Catholic.
Red Bank jumped out to a
13-0 lead in the first inning
and never let up.
Ryan Franzoni went 2-for-
2 at the plate for the Gulls
with an RBI.
Tomorrow night Point
Beach will play crosstown
rival Point Boro at First En-
ergy Park, home of the Lake-
wood Blueclaws. The game
is set to begin at 7 p.m.

Point Boro junior Amy
Bergquist looks at golf as
her “relaxing sport.”
“My dad has been playing
golf for fun and some of my
friends in middle school did
the First Tee program. I
tried it and realized it was
fun and relaxing, and tried
out for the team.”
Much to the delight of
head coach Pete Casalino,
Bergquist has been improv-
ing her game tremendously.
This season, she compet-
ed at both the girl’s Ocean
County Tournament [OCT]
and the Shore Conference
Tournament [SCT].
Bergquist finished eighth
overall at the OCT and 19th
overall at the SCT.
“I was really happy be-
cause I didn’t think we were
going to place since my
score was high,” she said
about the OCT. “But I end-
ed up placing eighth and it
felt good because I was kind
of having an off week.”
The SCT was a bigger
tournament, and Bergquist
enjoyed playing with the
tough competition.
“It was fun and a great ex-
perience because I got to
play with a lot of other real-
ly good players. So to finish
around the top there felt
great,” she said.
According to Bergquist,
the strongest aspect of her
golf game is driving.
“I’m very consistent with
driving and I can hit the ball
pretty far,” she said.
Because of this, she has
been concentrating on her
short game, a crucial part in
the game of golf.
“I’ve been working on
chipping and putting — my
short game, really, since it’s
such a big part of the game,”
she explained.
Bergquist is averaging
54.3 in match play and 108.5
in tournament play. She also
recorded a birdie this year.
Her performance this
season seems far from re-
laxing, but Bergquist is
proud of how she has pro-
gressed.
She also plays soccer, bas-
ketball and used to play
softball, but picked a golf
club over a bat.
Compared to those fast-
paced sports, golf does
seem quite relaxing.
Only a junior, Bergquist
has a whole year to contin-
ue improving her golf game.
“I definitely want to work
on my scores for nine holes
and place higher at the
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment,” she stated.
With a strong work ethic
and tireless determination,
Bergquist can only improve
and will be a leader and
crucial member of the Point
Pleasant High School golf
team.

Panthers end inaugural season with three wins
POINT BORO BOYS LACROSSE NOTEBOOK
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — The Point
Boro boys lacrosse team
earned three wins for their
inaugural season as a varsity
squad.
Last Wednesday they
earned their second win
against Haddon Township, a
team they had lost to in over-
time earlier this year. The
Panthers won 12-9 in an excit-
ing fourth quarter comeback.
The first quarter was slug-
gish and the team found
themselves down 4-2. Matt
Schwartz netted both of
Boro’s goals.
In the next quarter Haddon
added three more to their to-
tal while the Panthers only
managed another two.
“The defense was having a
hard time containing their at-
tackers. At the half, we
moved Bill Buttino down low
to guard their best attacker
and he basically shut him
down for the rest of the
game.,” said head coach Guy
Lassen
The change proved helpful
but Point Boro still found
themselves down 8-5 at the
end of the third quarter. This
was due to tentative and poor
passes that led to turnovers.
Before the final quarter
Lassen offered his team some
words of encouragement.
“I told the team that we
weren’t playing up to our po-
tential and that we were bet-
ter than Haddon Township,”
stated Lassen. “Plus, they
beat us at our place in over-
time so it was payback time.”
The words were enough to
ignite a seven-goal fourth
quarter comeback. Kyler
Rossi found the net three
times and scored the go
ahead goal at the 6:34 mark.
Schwartz added two goals as
well as Matt Youmans with
two more to solidify the win
on the road.
After dropping a game
against New Egypt at home
on Saturday, the Panthers
turned it around and found
their third win of the season
against Neptune on Tuesday.
They won 15-6 in one of their
better performances this sea-
son.
Point Boro went up early
with a 5-1 lead after the first
quarter and never looked
back after that.
“I thought to myself you
can’t be satisfied. You’re up 5-
1 let’s see how many goals we
can score here,” said Lassen.
“We don’t want to embarrass
the other team but we want-
ed to do something different.
Let’s dominate a game versus
being dominated.”
This was something the
Boro team was not used to
but handled it well in the
eyes of their coach.
“The team’s not used to
that and I had to teach them
how to win and how to hold
the ball,” explained Lassen.
“We needed to teach them
not only how to lose gra-
ciously but to win with pride
and respect.”
Youmans scored four goals
in the win and Rossi helped
with four assists.
“He’s a very unselfish play-
er. A lot of the time he’ll pass
up taking a shot to pass to a
teammate so he’s definitely
the ultimate teammate,” said
Lassen about Rossi’s per-
formance.
In their final game of the
season the Panthers could
not add another win and lost
to a strong Manasquan team
on the road Wednesday.
They lost 15-1 with Dylan
Broussard in goal, normally a
long pole on defense. Ryan
Bedle, the usual Panther
goalie, was not allowed to
play because of pink eye. Be-
dle was sent home from
school earlier in the day be-
cause of it, making him ineli-
gible for the game.
Broussard stepped up for
the team and held his own
fairly well.
“He got into goal and he
did a good job in there,” stat-
ed Lassen. “He made some
crucial saves in the beginning
of the game but Manasquan
is a strong team so it’s very
difficult. They’re a team we
emulate.”
It was a tough way to end
the season but Point Boro has
learned and improved quite a
lot since their first varsity
match this year.
“I think even though the
season is over I think we have
a lot to look forward to. Most
of our kids are coming back
next year so I think we can
pull off some more upsets,”
said Lassen. “Next year we
just need to keep working
hard and as my quote goes-
bigger, faster, stronger and
smarter. We need to do all
that in the offseason and that
should gain more wins for
us.”

POINT BORO — The Point
Boro golf team has strung to-
gether an impressive six-
match win streak. They have
claimed wins over Brick,
Barnegat, Red Bank, Nep-
tune, Long Branch and Colts
Neck.
The Panthers have moved
to 8-12 on the season and 6-5
in the B North division.
“We’ve been steadily im-
proving thanks to the players’
work on their play out of the
bunkers, their putting and
their course management,”

205 and Brick shot 196.
Nick Stacy shot 46, Blake
Baretta shot 49, Gunnar
Haberek shot 50, Amy
Bergquist shot 55, and Jack
Waddleton shot 48.
The next day Point Boro
played a match against Long
Branch and won 193-252.
All of Boro’s golfers shot
lower or equal with Long
Branch’s top golfer who fin-
ished with 55.
On Monday the team had a
tri-match with Red Bank Re-
gional and Neptune and beat
both competitors. In a close
match Boro took the cake
with 200 versus Red Bank’s
201. Neptune fell with a score
of 270.
Baretta shot 47 while
Habarek shot 48 for Boro.
Waddleton finished with 51,
Stacy with 54, and Bergquist
with 62.
The Panther win streak
continued into Tuesday
when they beat out Colts
Neck at the Hominy Hill
Country Club. The win
marks the eighth of the sea-
son, and doubles last year’s
win total.
Casalino is proud of his
team’s performance and im-
provement late in the season
after achieving the goal of
doubling last years win total,
something he says the team
was determined to do.
So far this season Baretta
has the lowest match average
with 46.7. Stacy and Habarek
are close behind. Habarek
currently holds a 49.3 match
average and a 104 tournament
average with two birdies. Sta-
cy sits at a 49.9 match aver-
age and a 94 tournament av-
erage with three birdies.
Bergquist averages 54.3 in
match play with a 108.5 tour-
nament average and one
birdie. She also finished
eighth overall at the girls’
Ocean County Tournament
and 19th overall at the girls’
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment.
Waddleton rounds out the
team with a 54.5 match aver-
age and a 103 tournament av-
erage with one birdie.
Point Boro also went up
against St. John Vianney on
Wednesday but those results
were not in by press time.
Next week the team will
play a match against Red
Bank Regional away on Mon-
day and against Wall Town-
ship on Tuesday.

POINT BEACH SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK
Gulls split two
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gull softball team had a re-
laxed week, splitting two
games.
Last Thursday they took to
the field against Keansburg.
Point Beach claimed the 6-1
victory on the road.
Kylee Kells led the Gulls
from the mound as well as
from the plate.
Point Beach went up early,
taking a 2-1 lead after one in-
ning of play. The second and
third innings remained score-
less for both teams.
In an effort to increase
their lead, the Gulls batted in
two more runs in the top of
the fourth.
On defense they remained
strong and kept Keansburg
from adding any more runs
to their total.
In the sixth and seventh in-
ning, Point Beach solidified
the win with a run in each.
They finished the day with
11 hits and did not commit
any errors in the win.
Kells struck out eight
Keansburg batters, while only
walking one. She went 2-for-4
at the plate with two RBIs.
Ashley Kelly also per-
formed well at bat, going 2-
for-3.
On Monday the team trav-
eled to play Holmdel, where
they lost a close game 2-0.
The only runs scored came
late in the game during the
sixth inning.
Kells struck out three bat-
ters but the Gulls were un-
able to generate runs from
the plate. They finished the
game with six hits and com-
mitted one error on defense.
Yesterday the girls traveled
to play Toms River North.
The game occurred too
late for this issue of The
Ocean Star. Be sure to read
next week’s issue for full cov-
erage.
Today they gear up for the
first round of the Central
Group I state tournament.
The Garnet Gulls have se-
cured the eighth seed and
will play nine-seeded High-
land Park. The game is sched-
uled to begin at 4 p.m. and is
at home.

POINT BEACH TRACK & FIELD NOTEBOOK
Beach’s Garnet Gulls fall just short of division title
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls battled it out on the
track and field Tuesday for
the division. They ran, threw
and jumped against an always-
tough Mater Dei team. The
boys team fell 73-58 and the
girls team lost 82-49.
Despite the scores, a lot of
athletes had strong perform-
ances for Point Beach.
In the 100-meter dash
Joseph LaDuca and Connor
Kells had a one-two finish. La-
Duca clocked in at 11.44 and
Kells was close behind with
11.54.
“They’re a tough team, they
definitely have some excellent
athletes. But what me and
Kells did, we really pushed
ourselves and each other to go
all out,” said LaDuca. “It’s not
my personal best but if it gets
the job done I’m happy with
it.”
LaDuca also placed first in
the long jump with a jump of
17-09.5.
Senior Matt Savage also had
a strong performance against
the Seraphs.
“Matt had a great day, he
had three first place finishes
so I was real happy about
that,” said head coach Bill
Evans.
Savage won the 200-meter
dash [24.97], the 400-meter
dash [53.72], and the triple
jump [35-05].
“I was fighting the wind out
there it was kind of windy to-
day,” said Savage after win-
ning the 400. “Other than that
I felt good. I ran a good coun-
ty time so I knew I could hope
to improve on that but I fell
just a little short.”
At the Ocean County
Championships [OCC] Savage
placed 13th in the 400 with a
personal best time of 52.95.
“That was really nice espe-
cially as a senior,” stated Sav-
age. “I improved on the coun-
ties, which is what I wanted to
do in the beginning of the
year.”
Kells, who also placed sec-
ond in the 200, battled it out in
the high jump, eventually tak-
ing first place. He cleared 5-
06, a personal best for the
sophomore.
“He wanted to high jump
this year. He started at 4-10
and now he’s up to 5-06,” said
Evans. “He scores a lot of
points for us. Connor is a big
part of this team. You need
someone like that to take that
initiative and leadership so I
was real happy with him.”
“It feels great knowing that
I helped my team especially in
this meet for the division,”
said Kells after winning the
high jump.
The Gulls fell short in the
throws portion of the compe-
tition. John Wagner took sec-
ond in the shot put [38-06],
third in the discus [98-04],
and third in the javelin throw
[114-09].
The girls team also had
great finishes despite losing
the meet.
Freshman Willow Nico-
laides finished first in the 100
[13.81] with Cameron Barnes
taking second [13.84].
“I always get really nervous
before I run especially against
Mater Dei because I’ve heard
from the upperclassmen that
they’re always a good team,”
said Nicolaides about her
race. “I was really nervous be-
fore I started but as soon as
the gun goes off I don’t think,
I just run.”
In the 200 Barnes took first
place with a time of 28.89 and
Kate Griffin placed third with
a time of 29.57.
“Cameron was injured and
now she’s starting to get
healthy,” explained Evans.
“She’s coming along in her
events. When she’s healthy
she can be very very strong.”
Barnes also took third in the
long jump [13-10] and third in
the triple jump [27-03]. Julia
DeSocio took second in the
long jump [13-11.25] and sec-
ond in the triple jump [29-01].
Junior Katie Gesumaria se-
cured a first place finish in the
400 clocking in at 1:05.4.
“It was tough but I managed
to speed up around the last
corner and happened to catch
them,” she stated. “Her strides
were huge but it’s OK.”
Gesumaria also competed
in the 400 at the OCC where
she placed 17th overall with a
season best time of 1:04.42.
Another junior on the
team, Maddie White, took
first place in the 800 against
Mater Dei. She finished with
a time of 2:56 in an event she
only started running this
year.
“It felt pretty good. That
was my personal best for the
800,” stated White. “I just
started running the 800 this
year so it’s still kind of new
for me but I think I’m doing
pretty OK.”
In the 3200-meter run Brit-
tany Richardson finished
with a time of 14:31, which
was good enough for first
place.
Unfortunately the Gulls
were swept in the shot put,
discus, and javelin but Evans
was still proud of both the
boys and the girls teams.
“They were much stronger
than us in the weights but I
was happy our jumpers
stayed with them. The sprint-
ers did a nice job today, and
distance did a great jump to-
day so I was very happy with
my runners,” stated Evans.
“To be in this position in the
last meet of the year is a good
thing, I was real happy.”
Evans says he is happy
with this year’s results espe-
cially with a young team that
lacks depth.
“The thing about track is
that you can have great indi-
viduals but we just need
depth. Those second and
thirds are the difference in
the meet,” he said.
Now, the Garnet Gulls look
forward to competing in
states and continually improv-
ing.

Annual golf
outing set
for July 27
a consistent one at that, the
Panther pole vaulters all
placed in the top 10.
“Our pole vaulters came
up huge again for us,” said
Colonna. “The guys compet-
ed extremely well against the
field of 30.”
Nick Vail-Stein placed
third [12-06], Josh Schlanger
placed fourth [11-06] and
Harry VanWagenen took
seventh [11-00].
“These guys have been our
go-to group for points in big
meets this season. Look for
these guys to have big days
next weekend at sectionals,”
stated Colonna.
He was also proud of his
two-mile runner, Dylan Pe-
ters, who clocked in a per-
sonal best of 9:48 for a fifth-
place finish.
“He is truly a workhorse
and so far his performances
have been speaking for them-
selves,” Colonna said.
He also took eighth overall
in the one-mile run [4:33.5].
Peters is looking to cash in
another personal best at the
SCC tomorrow. Teammate
Joe Busichio ran a time of
4:38.3 for 14th place with Cor-
landt Dalik close behind in
17th [4:39.36].
Busichio also took 13th in
the 800-meter run with a
time of 2:04.32.
In another fifth-place fin-
ish for Point Boro, Jack
Ehrhardt cleared 5-08 in the
high jump.
In the long jump, Ehrhardt
took 36th with a jump of 16-
06.
“Jack Ehrhardt has been
jumping great all season long
and has been consistent,” ex-
plained Colonna. “Jack has
been a guy we can always
count on to score for us this
season.”
Point Boro placed 11th
overall as a team.
BORO VS. PINELANDS
On Tuesday, the Panther
track team competed in a
meet against Pinelands Re-
gional. Point Boro won a
close matchup 71-69.
The meet came down to
just the high jump and the
triple jump and Ehrhardt,
Kyle Stencel and Jordan Leyh
stepped up big.
“I knew we were behind
and needed big jumps from
all three of these guys,”
Colonna said about the mo-
ment.
Ehrhardt ended up tying
his personal best, clearing 6-
00 in the high jump.
The team was still down
five points until Stencel, on
his last triple jump, hit a per-
sonal best of 40-03. This gave
Boro the lead but they need-
ed at least a third-place fin-
ish to keep a point from go-
ing to Pinelands.
That’s where Leyh came
in. He came up big with a
third-place finish in the
triple jump and a personal
best of 35-00.
The distance team per-
formed well for Point Boro,
helping secure the win. They
put out a clean sweep in the
two-mile run behind Peters,
Kameron O’Leary and An-
drew Svensson.
“Our distance guys saved
the day, dominating each of
those three distance races,”
Colonna said happily. “These
guys have been our heart and
soul this season, and to no
surprise came through yet
again.”
In the 400-meter dash, he
chose to hand the torch to
Hayden Frey.
“Hayden Frey came up
huge for us, and got the nod
as our No. 1 in the 400 today,”
said Colonna. “He took first
place and it certainly was the
race he’s been waiting for.
This guy is going to be fun to
watch over the next couple
years.”
Schlanger took the win in
the pole vault and hopes to
continue his success at sec-
tionals next week.
Big point collectors on the
day for the Panthers were
Peters and Leyh, who both
finished with 10 points
apiece.
Colonna was proud of his
team’s performance, saying,
“Overall I think we had a
good team effort and our
guys all pulled through. We
always tell these guys, every
single point matters, you
need to pass everybody out
there no mater what heat
you’re in to steal some
points. Our guys did just that
— they stepped up today.”
The Panthers look ahead
to the SCC at Neptune High
School tomorrow.
The Panthers have a lot of
promise to perform well in
the pole vault behind Vail-
Stein, Schlanger and VanWa-
genen.
Griffith will be chasing an
even faster time in the 400,
hoping to break 50 seconds,
while Peters will go after
strong finishes in the one-
and two-mile runs.
Ehrhardt also hopes to
make a lasting impression in
the jumps during tomorrow’s
meet.

THEOCEANSTAR
POINT PLEASANT — Last week-
end, the Point Boro girls track
and field team competed in the
Ocean County Championships.
The team placed seventh in the
county.
According to head coach Bil-
ly Kostenko, they beat out three
teams they had lost to during
their league season.
A group of individual per-
formances really stood out for
the Panthers at the meet, which
was held at Jackson Liberty
High School.
Katie Bragen finished in sec-
ond place in the 3200-meter
run with a time of 11:05.
“Katie ran the best race she
has run to date for the 3200. She
was aggressive and came with-
in two seconds of being the
county champion,” said
Kostenko. “She is a tireless
worker and a true athlete. One
who is very curious to find out
how good she can be.”
Teammates Rachel Pausz
and Lily Brouder placed 18th
and 25th in the 3200, respective-
ly.
Bragen also placed ninth in
the one-mile run with a time of
5:19.11. Panthers Danielle
Tsougarakis and Pausz also ran
the event placing 26th [5:40.03]
and 37th [5:48.8], respectively.
Megan Zabelski is back into
form in the high jump and took
second place, clearing 5-00. She
also placed 24th in the 200-me-
ter dash with a time of 28.14 and
20th in the long jump [14-02.5].
Kostenko is happy Zabelski
is coming along at the right
time saying, “Megan is on track
for a big finish to the season. It’s
exciting to see her starting to
get her best jumps these past
two weeks. It’s all coming to-
gether for her at the right time
of the season. She has shown
great determination this sea-
son.”
Fellow Panther Mimi
Leturgez took fifth place in the
high jump with a jump of 4-10.
Leturgez’s finish was impres-
sive, considering she had not
competed in high jump in a
meet all season.
“Mimi has been injured on
and off, too, and had not even
competed in high jump in a
meet,” stated Kostenko. “Pretty
impressive to wind up 5th in
the county. We are excited for
her — and she ran a great race
in the 400, too."
Leturgez took 26th in the
400-meter dash with a time of
1:05.32.
In another impressive finish
for Boro, Natalie Dikun took
second place in the pole vault
[9-00]. According to
Kostenko, she had been bat-
tling injuries all year, so it was
encouraging to see her have a
strong day.
“She is the consummate
athlete and teammate,” said
Kostenko about Dikun. “We’re
lucky to have high quality and
high character athletes like
her.”
Point Boro also had a strong
number of athletes that per-
formed well even though they
did not place for points.
Hope Savino took 23rd in
the triple jump event jumping
29-05.5. Brianna Kanabrocki
placed 25th in the shot put
with a shot of 28-03. She also
took 11th in the discus with a
throw of 91-09.
In the javelin throw Shan-
non Kelly finished 16th throw-
ing 86-02.
Tsougarakis placed 18th in
the 800-meter run [2:29.7]
while teammate Emily Tufano
came in 28th [2:33.3].
Kostenko was proud of the
girls’ performances and the
team as whole. Point Boro
beat out eight other schools
during the meet.
The Panthers now look
ahead to the Shore Confer-
ence Championships, which
are tomorrow at Neptune
High School.
POINT BORO GIRLS TRACK & FIELD NOTEBOOK
Boro places 7th at Ocean County Championships
often have anymore.
“Coaching has changed so
much over time. He’s steady
with old-school coaching that is
invaluable and I think is still
missing in sports,” Palmieri ex-
plained. “He really connects
with these kids. He cares about
them. He loves them and they
love him back, and I wish we
had more of that in the game.”
Ferullo was happy with the
show of praise and valued the
fact everyone came out for him.
“I got girls here that played
for me that were MVPs in my
earlier years. They’re just great
kids and that’s what it’s about,”
Ferullosaid.“Youteachthekids,
you have fun with the kids and
you enjoy it. I’ve done it all my
life. The day Steve Ferullo can’t
be Steve Ferullo is the day I’m
out of here.”
The small celebration also
commended the graduating
seniors, Blisnuk and Caputo,
who helped secure the win at
home that morning.
The Panthers hosted Shore
Regional in an exciting senior
day game. Point Boro claimed
the victory 7-6.
“It was a close game and we
didn’t really want to lose, and
before the game Ferullo said,
‘Don’t screw up a good day.’ So I
really didn’t want to do that,”
Caputo said after the game. “I
think we all held in there and
finished strong, and it was real-
ly good.”
The game was back and forth
through the first three innings.
Point Boro took a one-run
lead in the first inning after
Melissa Alfonso belted a triple
totheoutfieldfencefollowedby
an overthrown ball to third base
on the play. The overthrown
ball resulted in an extra base for
Alfonso, and she was awarded
home.
In the second inning, Caputo
collected two strikeouts and the
Panther defense handled a
grounder for the third out. They
could not add to their only run
with their turn at bat, though,
and Shore went to work at the
plate in the top of the third in-
ning.
After Caputo struck out the
first batter Point Boro gave up a
single and a double on an over-
throw to first. The next batter
then lined a ground ball up the
middle to score the two runners
on base.
The Shore Regional batter hit
a fast grounder to Mary McK-
eon at shortstop, who scooped
up the ball and threw to Alfon-
so at home.
She made the catch and the
tag for the second out.
The Panthers then secured
the third out of the inning on a
ground ball to Jamie Morris at
second.
Down 2-1, Point Boro was just
getting started at the plate. Dani
Payton opened the bottom of
the third with a triple between
left field and center field. Blis-
nuk followed it up with an RBI
double to left field that the
Shore outfielder could not col-
lect.
The Panthers then loaded the
bases on a single from Alfonso
and a walk from the Shore Re-
gional pitcher.
Liv Youngman then struck
out for the first out of the in-
ning. Morris, next up at bat, hit
a fly ball to left field for the sec-
ond out but the hit also scored a
Boro runner for a 3-2 lead. The
final out came when Alfonso
ran into the shortstop, who was
trying to chorale a ground ball
and the umpire called runner
interference on Alfonso.
The top of the fourth inning
was rough for Point Boro as the
bases were loaded early, result-
ing in a four-run inning for
Shore Regional.
Boro was not able to answer
at the plate and the Panthers
found themselves down 6-3 af-
ter four innings of play.
Caputo was determined to
win despite the tough fourth in-
ning.
“I realized that my job in the
game is to limit hits. I know that
to not let my team down I need
to relax and breathe and not
stress myself out,” Caputo said.
“Because when I stress myself
out it goes really bad and I don’t
want to let my team down, es-
pecially Ferullo, because he was
all happy today.”
In the fifth inning, she got
Shore Regional to hit into three
outs on the first three batters.
Then, after Boro could not
score any runs, the defense took
care of the Shore batters in the
top of the sixth.
One out came on a pop-up to
Blisnuk at third, the second
cameonagroundertothirdand
the final out came on a ground
ball to Morris at second.
With momentum swinging
in their favor and the thought of
not letting Ferullo down on
their minds, the Panthers went
to work in the bottom of the
sixth.
Bri Alexander got things
started with a single on an over-
throw. Kaitlyn Drew then laid
down a bunt and beat the throw
to first to put two runners on
base for Boro. They simultane-
ously stole second and third,
giving Payton an incentive to
bat them in.
Payton answered the call and
hit a double to shallow center
field scoring two runs for Boro.
Blisnuk then popped one out to
left field for the first out of the
inningbutthehitadvancedPay-
ton to third.
Next up for Boro was Alfon-
so with the tying run on third.
Calm and cool at the plate, Al-
fonso smacked a single up the
middleplatingPaytonandknot-
ting the game at 6.
She then stole second fol-
lowed by a McKeon single to
center field. Alfonso had moved
overtothirdandPointBorohad
runners on the corners.
Youngman, with another
chance at the plate, did not dis-
appoint and hit a sacrifice fly
ball to score the go ahead run
for the Panthers.
“Olivia was struggling there
at the plate. You don’t have to
kill the ball to put it in play,” Fer-
ullo said about Youngman.
“When that happens you drop
your head, you pop up and you
do this, but she hit a ball far
enough to get that run in. It was
a team effort today.”
Morris unfortunately then
grounded out to first but the
Panthers had mustered a senior
day comeback for a 7-6 lead.
Heading into the final inning, all
they had to do was keep Shore
from scoring any runs.
With Caputo leading the way
onthemoundthefirstoutcame
on a fly ball hit to Sam Inneo in
right field. The next out came
on the second batter who hit a
grounder to Morris at second.
She threw to Youngman at first
for the second out.
The final out was a bit scary
for the fans and Ferullo. The
third Shore Regional batter con-
nected with a pitch and sent the
softball into deep center field.
Payton tracked the hit and
made a solid catch just feet
away from the fence to secure
the 7-6 victory at home in front
of a cheering Point Boro crowd.
“The entire team made great
plays,”Blisnuksaidafterthevic-
tory. “Dani with the play out in
center field — I thought the ball
was going over, so thank God
for Dani.”
Ferulloagreedthatthelasthit
was a bit scary but he was hap-
py with the win, saying, “I was
happy for the kids. They didn’t
give up. They came back. Their
three best hitters were coming
up in that last inning and we got
them out.”
As Ferullo had said, it was a
team effort and the team
stepped up for its coach and
graduating seniors on senior
day.
Though the season is almost
at an end, Blisnuk and Caputo
are happy about the time they
got to spend playing on the Pan-
ther softball team and offered
advice to the younger girls.
“Listen to what he [Ferullo]
has to say. He has a lot of knowl-
edge about the game and just
life lessons in general,” said Blis-
nuk, who will be attending
Clemson University. “You have
to enjoy it because the last four
years have gone by so fast and
people say it all the time. I did-
n’t believe them when I was a
freshman. I can’t believe that
graduation is in a month.”
Caputo, who will be attend-
ingRowanUniversity,wantsthe
underclassmen to remember to
always have fun, saying, “Make
the most of it, have fun, and
don’t let the little things ruin it
because you’ll have bad days
and good days. Good days will
be really good and bad days will
always even out and won’t
mean a thing if you get past it.”
In turn, Ferullo offered his
graduating seniors a few words
of wisdom, saying, “Enjoy what
you got. Don’t put all that pres-
sure on yourselves and every-
thing else. Just let it go. Enjoy
life.”
The team was coming off a
close loss to Pinelands Regional
on Thursday 2-1. On Monday
they hosted Red Bank Regional
and fell by a score of 6-1.
The seniors still have a few
more games left to play this sea-
son. Yesterday they traveled to
take on Freehold Boro but the
game occurred too late to be
covered in this issue of The
Ocean Star. Check back next
week for full coverage.
Tomorrow, Point Boro will
play in the first round of the
state tournament against Rob-
binsville. The game is away and
scheduled to begin at noon.
Point Boro is seeded at 15 while
Robbinsville holds the No. 2
seed.

The tremendous bluefish
action continues to take cen-
ter stage in our Monmouth
and Ocean county waters.
Big blues in the six to 18
pound range are being
caught with regularity in all
of our bays and out in the
ocean. Anglers have been
raving about the size of these
big blues as blues this big are
usually not seen here like this
in the spring. The blues have
been a lot of fun to catch as
they are hitting just about
anything thrown at them.
Casting surface poppers is
one of the most exciting ways
to get them as the blues will
chase down the popper mak-
ing all kinds of surface com-
motion before it smashes it.
The striped bass action in
the ocean is still slow but
some anglers are picking
away at bass while trolling
bunker spoons. Not many
bunker have been reported
yet along the beach. The bass
action is still centered in
Raritan Bay at this time.
Boaters are catching bass on
bunker, swimming plugs, or
by trolling bunker spoons or
Stretches. Bass up to 35
pounds are being caught.
By now you have probably
heard about the great white
shark that has been swim-
ming up the East Coast. Mary
Lee, a 16-foot, 3,500-pound
great white shark has been
swimming up the East Coast
from Florida over the last few
months and has been
tracked, pinged, over the last
several months. NJ.com
reports “At 6:31 a.m. Sunday
May 10th, OCEARCH’s
tagged apex predator with
the Twitter handle,
@MaryLeeShark, was
“pinged” a few miles from
Island Beach State Park
according to the nonprofit’s
shark tracker. A tracker put
on Mary Lee in September of
2012 in Cape Cod allows the
non-profit group to locate
the shark each time its dorsal
fin surfaces or “pings.”
Well, this makes total
sense to me since this big
shark has to eat. I think more
than likely it has just been
following the epic bluefish
migration we are having this
season as these blues migrate
into our area from their
southerly wintering grounds.
Mary Lee is having a field
day feeding on them whenev-
er she wants. Check out
www.ocearch.org/profile/ma
ry_lee to track her.
The big surf event of the
season, the Governor’s Surf
Fishing Tournament will be
held this Sunday, May 17th at
Island Beach State Park. A
variety of species are eligible
for entry in the tournament
each year. Overall length
determines the winner. The
individual who catches the
overall largest fish wins the
“Governor’s Award,” and has
his/her name engraved on
the Governor’s Cup, which is
permanently displayed at the
park.
Fishing equipment is
awarded to winners who
catch the largest fish in each
species category. Winners
from the early entry drawing
and the tournament must be
present during the afternoon
awards ceremony to claim
their prizes or they will be
forfeited. For more info call
609-748-4347 or
www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/gsft
.htm.
Bob over at Fishermen’s
Den in Belmar reports
“Bluefish still the dominant
fish in our waters both from
shore and the boats as well.
The head boats had some
bass but not big numbers.
The blues however have kept
their anglers happy. The
Ocean Explorer has still been
getting cod in good numbers
to the joy of their people. The
Shark River has a good mix
of fluke with shorts to fish up
to 23 inches. All must be
released in good condition
until May 22nd. The reports
are good from the rivers and
bay to our north with bunker
chunks the best bait. Bunker
can be purchased at your
local tackle shop or snagged
if you see them on the sur-
face. The clam fishermen
continue to get bass in the
local surf with some keeper
fish mixed in. With the tight
regulations on many fish
species you have to release
more fish than in the past so
be gentle. Do not injure these
fish, they are our future.”
Detective Adam Pharo of
the Manasquan Police
Department has announced

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
Bluefish are plentiful in area waters
TIP OF THE WEEK
FROM JIM FREDA
As ocean temperatures
warm into the mid-50-
degree ranges, striped bass
will start to hit swimming
plugs fished in the surf.
Cast out and retrieve back
slowly.
Speiser was proud of his
player’s effort, saying, “He
was in it until the end and
some unforced errors will get
the best of you. He has been
our most consistent player all
year and it’s a testament to
what kind of kid he is. He
doesn’t give up and he just
keeps pushing until the very
end.”
The duo of Chris Belman
and Noah Husak won the
first doubles match 6-2 and 6-
3. In second doubles play, the
team of Alex Bergen and
Matt Jamieson also claimed a
Point Boro win. They won
the first set 7-5 and the sec-
ond set 6-2.
Despite the loss, Speiser is
happy with how his team has
faced tough opponents all
season long.
“We try to find their weak-
ness and make it, for lack of a
better term, we make it an
ugly tennis match. The ones
that we win are the ugly ten-
nis matches,” stated Speiser.
The “ugly” matches are
something he says the players
have really bought into.
“It’s a good system, espe-
cially for these young kids
who are starting to see. If we
play our style we might not
win every match, but we’re in
every match,” added Speiser.
The Panthers also played a
match on Monday against
Red Bank Regional on the
road. They lost by a score of
4-1.
On Wednesday they were
supposed to play Long
Branch at home, but the game
has been postponed until a
later date.

ers participating.

In third singles play, Hig-

East team of Christopher
Woolley and Robert Roche.
In second doubles, Bergen
and Jamieson are the 15-seed,

mal Kansu and Adam Green-
gove, the two-seed also from
