POINT BEACH — The Point
Beach softball team ended its
season in the second round
of the state tournament on
Tuesday.
Seeded at eight, the Gulls
had a difficult road from the
start knowing that a win in
the first round meant facing
the one-seed in the second
round.
Last Friday they opened
state tournament play with
an 11-0 victory at home
against ninth-seeded High-
land Park.
“Like I said earlier. We
played so well yesterday that
I knew that good things were
going to happen today,” head
coach Silvio DeCristofano
said.
He was referring to Thurs-
day’s game against Toms Riv-
er North in the first round of
the Shore Conference Tour-
nament.
Point Beach and Toms Riv-
er were tied at one up until
the fifth inning when Toms
River added a run to its total.

LAKEWOOD — Saturday
night was the perfect night
to reignite the rivalry that is
Point Boro versus Point
Beach.
Instead of on a wrestling
mat in a packed high school
gymnasium, this contest
brought the two towns to
FirstEnergy Park, the home
of the Lakewood BlueClaws,
for a game under the lights.
Both team’s fan sections,
the Panther Pit and the
Gulls Nest, made the short
drive in support of their re-
spective teams, but this time
there was no dramatic
comeback and no late-game
heroics.
Point Boro retains brag-
ging rights as they took care
of Point Beach 9-1 through
seven innings of play. It was
fitting for the Panthers to
walk away with the win on a
night where they honored
the graduating seniors on
the team.
As the home team, Point
Boro took to the field first
and Michael Falconetti got
the start on the mound.
In the top of the first in-
ning he struck out two bat-
ters and they secured the
third out on a popup to third
baseman Jack Fitzsimmons.
The Gulls could not get
anything started from the
plate and sent out John
Nista to the rubber. The
Panther bats were hot and
contributed to an early four-
run lead.
They scored on RBI sin-
gles from Frank Graziano,
Falconetti, and Quinn Hor-
nish. The other run came
when Dan Cornish stole
first on a pitch that went
past the Garnet Gull catcher,

POINT PLEASANT — Sunday
morning’s beautiful weather
and calm water created per-
fect conditions for Point
Pleasant’s inaugural Treasure
Island Pirate Paddle.
The stand-up paddleboard
[SUP] race event is the first
of its kind to take place on
the Manasquan River. A total
of 158 registered paddlers
came out to Riverfront Park
on Sunday to participate in
the event.
“This is the first stand-up
paddle board race on the
Manasquan River or even in
Point Pleasant, so it’s pretty
exciting,” said race director
Rich Bubnowski. “There’s a
lot of history of bootlegging
and rum-running up and
down this river, so we
thought it would be an appro-
priate name for the race.”
The net proceeds from the
race are being donated to St.
Peter School in Point Pleas-
ant Beach.
There was a five-mile race,
which was a World Paddle
Association [WPA]-sanc-
tioned event, and a two-mile
recreational race that took
place at the same time. The
Inaugural Treasure Island
Pirate Paddle is a success

race held on the Manasquan River. Racers competed in a World Paddle Association-sanctioned five-mile race and a recreational two-mile

POINT BORO BASEBALL NOTEBOOK
Panther comeback falls short in state tournamentBY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — The Point
Boro baseball team had an
up-and-down last week of
baseball. The week began
with wins over Lacey and
crosstown rival Point Beach,
but culminated in a loss in
the first round of states
against Cinnaminson.
The game against Lacey
ended 6-2 in favor of the Pan-
thers.
On the mound to start the
game was Michael Falconetti,
who cashed in one strikeout
through three innings, while
only allowing one run.
The first Lacey run came
in the top of the first inning.
It did not make much differ-
ence as Point Boro put two
runs on the board with their
turn at bat. With runners on
second and third, Falconetti
ripped a single past first and
into right field. The hit
scored Boro’s first two runs
of the game.
In the second inning, the
Boro defense made quick
work of Lacey with a fly out
to Sam Monaco at shortstop,
a groundout also handled by
Monaco and a strikeout from
Falconetti on the mound.
In the bottom of the sec-
ond the Panthers exploded
with five runs, all of which
came after Lacey secured two
outs.
With runners on second
and third, Bill Sheehan
smacked a double down the
first baseline, scoring both
Boro runners. Frank
Graziano then hit a double to
left field, plating Sheehan.
Catcher Sebastian Severio
kept it going with a line drive
to right field and another
Panther RBI. With the score
6-2, Lacey secured the third
out to end Point Boro’s run.
The score remained the
same in the third and fourth
innings. The only change that
occurred was Tim Rossi step-
ping to the rubber in the
fourth inning. He secured
two strikeouts.
The fifth inning started
with a Lacey double and then
a groundout that scored a
run. Point Boro quickly cor-
rected itself and secured the
next two outs before further
damage was done.
The Panthers were unable
to increase their lead in their
final two at bats but they did
not need to, seeing as Rossi
took control and closed out
the game.
In the top of the sixth he
got the first Lacey batter to
ground out and then struck
out the next two batters he
faced.
In the top of the final in-
ning Rossi retired the side
with three straight strikeouts,
claiming the victory at home
for Point Boro.
Head coach David Drew
was proud of the win, espe-
cially after Wednesday’s ex-
tra-inning loss to Rumson-
Fair Haven.
“It felt good. We played a
real tough game yesterday
and we wanted to get back to
.500 before that state tourna-
ment, and we knew we had to
come out here and hit the
ball,” stated Drew. “Not only
to get to .500, but we made
sure we got every senior in
the game today and we were
fortunate enough to do that.”
As always, he was happy
with the way his two pitchers
performed on the mound.
“We have a strong pitching
staff,” he said. “Even with the
injuries to this pitching staff,
these guys have really
stepped up in a big way.”
Because of the injuries,
each pitcher has seen a lot
more time on the mound. Be-
cause of this, Drew has been
rotating them in games
around four innings at a time
to help them be able to per-
form late in the season.
Drew knows he is fortu-
nate to have both Falconetti
and Rossi at his disposal, say-
ing, “When you have guys
like Rossi out there, and
Michael, closing the door and
getting outs and strikeouts in
big spots, it makes my job
easier.”
After securing a big win
against Point Beach at First
Energy Park Sunday night
[see related story], the Pan-
thers had their gloves full
when they traveled to take on
Cinnaminson in the first
round of the state tourna-
ment.
Point Boro lost 12-9 with
the difference really being
the three runs Cinnaminson
scored in the first inning.
In the second inning, both
teams put a run on the board
and Boro was trailing 4-1.
In the third, though, they
were unable to generate any
offense and their defense
gave up five runs. Cinnamin-
son held a 9-1 lead but the
Panthers continued to chip
away at the lead.
In the fifth, they added one
run to their total but also
gave up two, but Boro came
to play and it showed late in
the game.
They batted in four runs in
the top of the sixth inning.
They did their best to keep
Cinnaminson down but they
let up another run in the bot-
tom of the sixth inning.
Point Boro was down 12-7
and had one last chance at
bat to construct a comeback.
They managed two more
runs before Cinnaminson se-
cured the third out and
closed the door on the Pan-
thers.
It was a tough way to end
the season, but Point Boro
did not give in easily and
made a strong case for why
they belong up there with the
best of them.
Quin Hornish finished the
game with three RBIs on two
hits. Rossi secured two
strikeouts on three innings
pitched.

“I was watching the
French Open and Nadal was
playing, and it was just the
intensity and the passion.
He’s still my favorite payer
to this day,” recalled Point
Beach senior tennis player
Gerard Giordano. “How he
practices, how he trains,
and just his mental strength
— nothing distracted him,
and he was just an incredi-
ble athlete in every aspect. I
thought it was incredible.”
That’s where Giordano’s
love for tennis began.
Now, it has culminated in
him winning the Ocean
County Tournament first
singles title for the second
year in a row.
“He came into the week-
end very focused and moti-
vated to defend his singles
title, and he did exactly
that,” said head coach Brian
McElwee. “It was nice to
see him go out on top. After
his great career at the high
school, this was the perfect
ending. He deserved it.”
According to Giordano,
his drive to excel at tennis
really took off after Hurri-
cane Sandy.
“Hurricane Sandy put
this flicker in my head. You
gotta do something to sepa-
rate yourself from every-
body,” he said. “Tennis was
a big passion of mine and I
looked at that as a way to
get to college and to get into
a good college that you
couldn’t normally get into
just through academics. I
just really loved it and I re-
ally loved dedicating my life
to one single purpose.”
Tennis was that purpose
and Giordano will be play-
ing tennis next year at The
College of New Jersey,
something he is excited
about.
He prides himself on his
mental strength, something
he feels is his strongest as-
set.
He also appreciates all
that his parents have done
to help get him to where he
is today.
“I wouldn’t be anywhere
without my parents. Tennis
is a lot of traveling, so they
do so much for me — I
don’t really know how I
could ever thank them for
everything they’ve done for
me the past few years,”
Giordano said. “We travel
all over the place and they
just do it. They don’t object
to it and are big support-
ers.”
Giordano thrives on the
one-on-one aspect of ten-
nis, saying, “There’s next to
no coaching. Overall you’re
out there by yourself.
There’s no teammates, no-
body can help you. You con-
trol everything for yourself.
You control your success.
You control your failure. I
really loved that I had full
control over what I wanted
to do with that.”
Giordano is well in con-
trol of his own destiny and
will continue to see success
on and off the court.

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls had a rough finish to
their season, dropping the fi-
nal three games this past
week.
The first lost was to
crosstown rival Point Boro at
First Energy Park Saturday
night [see related story].
On Monday, the team suf-
fered an upset in the first
round of the state tourna-
ment. Seeded at three, Point
Beach faced Bound Brook,
the 14-seed, and lost 11-1 at
home.
Kevin Donnelly was on the
mound to start for Point
Beach and he pitched a little
over three innings.
Bound Brook scored two
runs in the first inning and
added seven more in the
third.
Following Donnelly on the
mound was John VanSchoick,
who only struck out two and
walked five.
The Gulls finally got on the
board with an RBI single
from Donnelly in the bottom
of the sixth inning. It was not
enough, as Bound Brook had
added one in the sixth, as
well as another in the sev-
enth.
Point Beach could not an-
swer with its last chance at
bat and took the 11-1 loss at
home.
They finished the game
with six hits and four errors
in the field.
On Tuesday they played
another home game, this
time against Manasquan.
The Gulls lost 9-5, falling
short of a comeback late in
the game.
Manasquan went up early
with two runs in the first in-
ning and three more in the
second.
Point Beach gained some
defensive control in the
third and held the Warriors
scoreless, but couldn’t keep
them down. Manasquan bat-
ted in another four runs in
the fourth inning.
Meanwhile, Point Beach
struggled offensively and
their score remained at zero
until the sixth inning.
The Gulls put together
three runs, cutting the
deficit to six. The defense
kept the Warriors from in-
creasing their lead in the top
of the seventh and then went
back to work from the bat-
ter’s box with some momen-
tum.
Unfortunately they were
only able to add two runs be-
fore Manasquan closed the
door on the comeback and
got the final out of the game.
Geno Antognoli pitched
four innings for the Gulls,
only striking out one batter
despite throwing 19 first-
pitch strikes. Ryan Franzoni
finished with two RBIs in
the loss.

It’s easy to be the winning
team. I’m not saying it is easy
to win, but when a team is
successful and wins on a reg-
ular basis, it is not a hard
thing to come to terms with.
Along with winning comes
celebrating and enjoying the
moment every time it hap-
pens.
Sure, sometimes it is hard
to win gracefully and not go
overboard, but it is not quite
as hard as always losing but
still having the heart to con-
tinue to compete.
Such is the case with the
Point Boro girls lacrosse
team. They recently closed
the door on another winless
season this week.
I covered a great amount
of their games this season.
Some games they never
scored a goal and lost by
double digits. But the crazy
thing about it was that I was
never disappointed by the
team.
Day in and day out, those
girls went out on the lacrosse
field and played their best.
They never turned away.
They never sat down and
thought there was no point
in playing if they were going
to lose. They went out and
competed. More important-
ly, they went out and had
fun.
I tip my hat to the girls
lacrosse team.
Behind head coach Megan
Fritz they have established a
culture that realizes winning
is not the most important
part of the game.
Every time I spoke with a
player after a loss, I never
saw an expression other
than a smile. They would
laugh about what went
wrong and smile because it
was something they could
improve on in the future.
They acknowledged each
other’s accomplishments
each and every game and
never stopped cheering each
other on.
My point is that the fact
these girls faced losing on a
regular basis throughout the
season but never called it
quits really speaks a lot to
their character.
That is the benefit of los-
ing. It gives you the opportu-
nity to sit back and evaluate
what you hold important
and what establishes how
you think of yourself.
In talking with the gradu-
ating seniors on the team, I
found that all of them recog-
nized the bond the team cre-
ated over the past couple
seasons. A bond that said
they would be there for each
other with no focus on the
numbers up on the score-
board.
That could be why the
seniors were in tears at the
end of their last game on
Monday. Not because they
gave up 18 goals and not be-
cause they did not score a
goal of their own, but be-
cause it was the last time
they would play in a high
school lacrosse game with
each other.
That is the moment when
it hits you. Sports go way be-
yond winning or losing.
Sports develop relationships
and camaraderie. Being a
part of team has a lasting im-
pression and helps shape
each individual on the team.
And while winning is fun,
losing and going through
those hard times with your
team are the moments that
truly shape who you are.
So pay close attention to
those members of the girls
lacrosse team. They have
learned a lot about what it
takes to remain determined
and not give in despite the
odds.
And when that win finally
comes, which it most defi-
nitely will, they will truly ap-
preciate it in all its glory.

Boro track and field teams
were back at it again this
week at the Shore Confer-
ence Championships held at
Neptune High School.
The boys team came in
with a 12th-place finish out of
31 schools and the girls team
took a 17th-place finish out of
28 schools.
The biggest finish for both
teams came from Megan
Zabelski. She placed first
overall in the high jump
clearing 5-02, four inches
higher than the second place
finisher. She also ran the 200-
meter dash and finished with
a time of 28.00, good enough
for 33rd.
Freshman Mimi Leturgez
also competed in the high
jump and tied for seventh
clearing 4-08.
In the 1600-meter run
Katie Bragen came in 14th
with a time of 5:31.47. Team-
mate Rachel Pausz came in
25th with a time of 5:41.69.
Danielle Tsougarakis fin-
ished 16th in the 800-meter
run with a time of 2:27.10.
In the discus throw, senior
Brianna Kanabrocki threw
90-07, good enough for 18th.
The boys team had impres-
sive finishes behind Dylan
Peters, Ryan Griffith and Jack
Ehrhardt. All three competi-
tors recorded personal bests.
Peters clocked in at 9:47.15
in the two-mile run, placing
fifth. Teammate Andrew
Svensson placed 21st with a
time of 10:41.34 in the same
event.
Griffith recorded a person-
al best in the 400-meter dash
with a quick time of 50.76.
Alex Stupar and Michael
Brown also competed in the
event finishing 23rd [54.11]
and 27th [54.59], respectively.
Ehrhardt’s glory came in
the high jump competition.
He cleared 6-02 for a second
place finish and a personal
best. Ehrhardt also competed
in the long jump where he
jumped 19-00 for a 15th place
finish.
The Panthers also had oth-
er athletes put in notable fin-
ishes despite not placing for
points.
In the triple jump event,
Kyle Stencel placed 16th with
a jump of 38-03.75.
Joe Busichio ran the 800-
meter run and clocked in at
2:03.85, finishing 20th out of
68 runners.
In the one-mile race, soph-
omore Cortlandt Dalik fin-
ished 24th with a time of
4:41.96. Teammate Kameron
O’Leary was right on his
heels, finishing 25th with a
time of 4:42.28.
The Panthers have been
working endlessly all season
to put out strong performanc-
es during this time of the
year, and they are not done
yet.
This weekend marks the
start of the sectional champi-
onships. They will be held at
Northern Burlington Region-
al High School and begin at
3:30 p.m. today and 10 a.m. to-
morrow morning.
The Point Beach track and
field teams will also be com-
peting in sectionals today
and tomorrow. They will be
at Hillsborough High school
at 3:30 p.m. today and 10 a.m.
tomorrow.

THE OCEAN STAR
Boro girls lacrosse team
wrapped up another winless
season on Monday. They
hosted powerhouse Rumson-
Fair Haven, who has only lost
one game all season. Rumson
took the win 18-0.
The Panthers were not too
concerned with winning,
though. They went out to en-
joy their final game of the
season and some had the op-
portunity to play different
positions.
Senior Liz Peled played the
first half in goal, where she
has been all season long. In
the second half she removed
the bulky goalie gear, traded
her goalie stick for a regular
one and had the opportunity
to play in the field for her last
game.
After the game the four
seniors — Peled, Nicole Fava-
to, Tori Zaccheo, and Erin
Hoffman — embraced each
other, capping off their high
school lacrosse careers.
“The seniors are great.
These girls are the first round
of girls that I’ve coached all
four years as varsity,” said
head coach Megan Fritz.
“That’s been a treat for me,
just growing with them these
last four years.”
Fritz has never wavered in
her support of the graduating
seniors and the mindset they
have introduced to the Pan-
ther team.
“They just really love the
sport and they love the team
and it shows. They really
have done everything they
could this season to really
make it a memorable one for
everyone and not just them-
selves,” she said.
The season was another
tough one as the team never

the lead with two more in
the sixth, eventually taking the
win 4-1.
The girls put the loss be-
hind them and performed ex-
tremely well the very next
day.
“We know we have a pitch-
er, we know we have good
fielding and our bats, when
they’re working, good things
happen,” DeCristofano said
after the shutout win over
Highland Park. “It’s a nice
feeling. They’re a great group
of girls, a really nice team.”
Kylee Kells got hot from the
pitcher’s circle early and nev-
er looked back. In the first in-
ning she struck out the first
three Highland Park batters.
The rest of the Garnet Gulls
got things rolling in the bot-
tom of the inning from the
batter’s box.
Alexa Russell started it off
with a double to left field, slid-
ing in safely at second under
the tag. Kells then hit a liner to
left for a double and an RBI.
Point Beach then proceed-
ed to load the bases on a walk
and a single before Alex
Barnes ripped a hard
grounder to left field bringing
in two runs. The hit was good
enough for another double.
Sarah Scott then added an-
other double with two RBIs.
The first out of the inning
came when Sam Kelly laid
down a bunt with two strikes
that landed foul.
Katie Ranuro then ground-
ed out to short but the hit
scored another Garnet Gull
run. The inning eventually
ended on an infield fly but the
damage was done and Point
Beach had jumped out to a fa-
vorable 6-0 lead.
In the second inning, the
Gulls gave up a single but
Kells secured the three outs
on strikeouts. In the bottom of
the inning they added another
run on an RBI double from
Kellyann Ohlinger.
The score remained the
same through the top of the
third inning and then Point
Beach increased its lead to 11
with its turn at bat.
The Garnet Gull defense
did not have much to do with
Kells on the mound, but they
made the plays when neces-
sary.
On defense in the fourth in-
ning, Russell made a rolling
catch on a short blooper to
short for the first out.
“I guess shortstop is my po-
sition now and I just feel com-
fortable there. Really comfort-
able,” said Russell, who
originally was a second base-
man.
Kells claimed the next two
outs and then the final three
in the fifth inning for the win.
She ended up with 12 strike-
outs for 12 of the 15 total outs
of the game.
“I knew coming into it I was
really confident,” Kells said af-
ter the first-round win. “We
were all pumped up and we
knew this could be our last
game, so we just played on top
and really well.”
“What I do like is that even
though she can, she doesn’t
overpower people. What she
does is she tries to pitch,” De-
Cristofano said about Kells.
“She got a couple people with
changeups, she got people
with her curve, screwball, and
she used everything. Some
pitchers throw — she pitch-
es.”
Russell was happy with the
win and the opportunity to
play another game at home,
saying, “I didn’t think we
would have a home game here
again so it’s just great knowing
that we played again on this
field. I’m really looking for-
ward to the next game. We’re
going to go all out again.”
“We didn’t underestimate
this team so we kind of
brought our all and it felt great
to have all those runs against
them,” she added.
Point Beach wanted to keep
momentum as the Gulls head-
ed into the second round
against the one-seeded Bound
Brook team, but first they
knew some adjusting would
be necessary. The Highland
Park pitcher had a slower pace
so the team utilized practice
to prepare for the faster speed
of Bound Brook.
The Gulls showed intensity
and poise but eventually fell
to Bound Brook 3-0 on Tues-
day. The three runs came late
in the game during the fifth in-
ning and Point Beach was un-
able to respond offensively.
“I feel bad for Kells on a day
like that when she really was
humming; she was doing
everything right,” DeCristo-
fano said about the loss. “It’s
that zero on the other side and
that’s been an all-year thing.
It’s not like we don’t hit. We
hit. We got runners on base.
We just need that timely hit to
get people in and we’ve strug-
gled with that.”
Kells struck out nine batters
in the loss, walked one and
only allowed six hits. From the
plate, Barnes went 2-for-3 and
Russell went 1-for-3.
It’s always tough to lose
during the state tournament,
but Beach played well above
it’s eight-seed ranking, making
DeCristofano proud.
“I’m proud of how they
played. It’s tough. You take the
long ride; you play a team
you’ve never seen even
though you try to figure out
everything about what they
have and how they play their
pitcher,” he explained. “Con-
sidering that, I’m proud of
how they played I just wish it
ended a little different, that’s
all.”
POINT BORO
The Panthers also fell short,
but in the first round of the
state tournament Saturday
morning.
They went up against three-
seeded Robbinsville on the
road and were shut out 7-0 on
the road. Boro only produced
two hits in the loss.
Point Boro was coming off
of a win on the road against
Freehold Borough.
They took the victory 6-2
last Thursday in their final
game of the regular season.

ly didn’t meet that goal. But we
did play some amazing games
and that’s all I can really ask of
them.”
One such amazing game
was against Ranney at home.
The team lost the game by one
goal that came late in over-
time. Favato scored seven
goals that game and Peled
made 25 saves in goal.
Fritz loves her team and
knows it is not about winning,
saying, “It’s always been a
pleasure to come out. I’ve nev-
er walked away from a game
upset of how they behaved or
acted.”
With the leading scorer, Fa-
vato, and Peled, the goalie,
graduating, Fritz and the team
look to the offseason to gear
up for next year.
“We’re doing some clinics
and we do end-of-the-season
evaluations so at the evalua-
tions we give out all kinds of
camp and clinic information,”
stated Fritz, who will be reach-
ing out to middle school and
elementary girls to spark their
interest in the sport.
As for the girls who will be
returning next year, Fritz said,
“The girls will be practicing on
their own. They’re getting a
GoodSports team together. I
think that’s really our key
thing is making sure we play
year round.”
The team boasts some
young talent that Fritz hopes
can help translate into a win
for next season. They will
keep practicing and, more im-
portantly, keep their heads up
and focused for next season.
“We’ll look forward to next
year,” she said. “We have a lot
of young girls coming up that
are talented, so I’m really ex-
cited.”
Ready for offseason

Local athletes honored
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT — On Sun-
day, the Shore Conference
athletic directors honored a
total of 93 athletes from the
conference’s 47 schools at
Pine Belt Arena in Toms Riv-
er.
These outstanding senior
athletes were awarded
Sportsmanship Awards that
highlighted more than just
their athletic prowess on the
field or court.
Factors like leadership, be-
havior and spirit on and off
the field all played a role in
who was chosen.
The athletes being hon-
ored were nominated by their
coaches and then one female
and one male athlete was
chosen by their respective
athletic directors.
For Point Beach, Jake
Fioretti [football, wrestling]
and Alexa Russell [volleyball,
softball] were the two recipi-
ents.
For Point Boro, the awards
went to Owen Herrington
[hockey, soccer, tennis] and
Emily Henn [soccer, basket-
ball].
The ceremony provided a
positive atmosphere and the
athletes were able to honor
their parents, coaches, team-
mates or anyone else that had
a significant impact on their
character and integrity.
This year marks the first
year that both Monmouth
and Ocean County athletes
were honored at the same
time and place.

opponent in Nick Prestera
from Barnegat. Prestera held
the seven seed but Giordano
won the match in two sets. The
first set proved competitive
and Giordano eventually won
6-4. The second set was much
stronger and he won 6-0.
On Sunday, he then had to
face third-seeded Brandon
Gildea of Southern. Giordano
remained a force on the court,
defeating Gildea in two sets, 6-
1 and 6-1.
The final round ended up a
classic one-seed versus two-
seed match as Giordano went
up against Boyle. Earlier in the
season Giordano had lost to
Boyle, but the outcome was a
bit different this time.
Both players left it all out on
the court but Giordano proved
to be No. 1 for the second year
in a row. He defeated Boyle 6-4
in the first set and 6-2 in the
next.
“It felt really great to win it
again,” said Giordano. “Going
into the season you always set
goals for yourself, and that was
a really big goal for myself to
win that.”
According to him, they were
not even sure if the tourna-
ment would happen because of
the threat of rain. Giordano
said he had to remain mentally
sound, especially on Saturday
where the rate of play was a bit
rushed. Luckily the rain held
off until after the tournament
finished on Sunday.
He also did not concentrate
too much on being the two-
seed, even though he won the
tournament last year and was
the one-seed at the time.
“I didn’t really think about it
too much. It’s just a number
next to your name,” he ex-
plained. “It doesn’t decrease
your chances of winning it,
that’s what my parents told
me.”
Giordano was also happy his
team supported him in the fi-
nals, saying, “It was really nice
to have some of my teammates
there on Sunday.”
Giordano’s outstanding per-
formance along with strong
play from the rest of the Gar-
net Gulls team propelled them
to a sixth-place finish out of 16
teams.
“We got sixth overall as a
team, which was really great,”
said Giordano. “I was really
happy for them.”
Trevor Hinds was given the
eight-seed and battled it out
against Robert McMahon, the
nine-seed from Toms River
South, in the first round. Hinds
shut out his opponent in two
sets.
The victory then pitted him
against the top-seeded Walter
Mills Jr. of Toms River East.
Hinds lost the match in two
sets but did not go down with-
out a fight. He lost the first set
7-5 and the second set 6-2.
Mills eventually went down in
the final round of second sin-
gles.
Point Beach’s first doubles
team also reached the quarter-
final round of the tournament.
Miles Mancini and Steven
Dyson defeated the team of
Max Steck and Zach Zambella
of Brick Memorial. In a similar
situation to Hinds, the win
meant facing the one-seeded
duo of Jordon Humphreys and
Tim Kelleher of Pinelands.
Mancini and Dyson lost in
two sets, 6-2 and 6-0.
In second doubles play, the
team of Matt Pimm and Gavin
Shwahla lost in the first round
to Federico Coria and Justin Bi-
enick of Jackson Memorial.
The Gulls fell 6-0 and 6-2
against the five-seeded Jackson
team.
Rob Lissenden of Point
Beach held the 12-seed in third
singles play. He went up
against Dale Bartlet of Dono-
van Catholic, who was seeded
at five in the first round.
Lissenden lost in two sets, 6-
0 and 6-2.
The Garnet Gulls team
racked up 14 team points in the
tournament, which was good
enough for sixth place.
Head coach Brian McElwee
was proud of his team, saying,
“I was very proud of the boys
and their performance over the
weekend. Last year, everyone
besides Gerard lost their first-
round matches.”
It was a big improvement
from last year and shows the
progress the team has made
this season.
The Garnet Gull team also
began its week with a match
against Mater Dei at home last
Thursday.
Point Beach won the game
4-1. Giordano and Hinds won
their singles match while Lis-
senden dropped his. The two
doubles matches were then
forfeited by Mater Dei.

Point Boro’s student section, the Panther Pit, was happy with Saturday’s results and showed full support
throughout.
bringing in a fellow Panther.
The score remained 4-0
Point Boro through the sec-
ond inning. Point Beach
brought in Kevin Donnelly to
pitch and he kept the Pan-
thers at bay.
The Gulls finally got on the
board in the top of the third
inning. With one out put
away, Mike Frauenheim belt-
ed a triple to the left center-
field wall. Teammate Geno
Antognoli followed it up with
a double to center field and
the first Beach run of the
game.
The next batter popped out
for the second out and the fi-
nal out came on a strikeout
from Josiah Gliddon, who
had replaced Falconetti for
Boro to start the third inning.
Both defenses played
strong in the fourth inning
and the score stayed still at 4-
1 in favor of Point Boro.
Point Beach was having
trouble advancing runners on
base all the way to home and
still could not find a way to
score. Thomas Paul came in
to pitch for Boro in the top of
the fifth and he recorded two
strikeouts.
In the bottom of the fifth
inning, Boro exploded with
eight runs. The first came on
a suicide squeeze where Dan
Bellofatto laid down a bunt
that traveled the third base
line and scored Gene Frans-
eschini. Bellofatto showed off
his speed and beat the throw
to first as well.
After securing another
out, Point Beach loaded the
bases and head coach Ange-
lo Fiore took a jog to the
mound to replace Donnelly.
John VanSchoick took con-
trol of the mound and it
looked like he would get out
of the jam.
Gabe Pesante, the first
batter to face VanSchoick,
hit a high fly ball to right
field that went in and out of
John Daly’s glove. Pesante’s
hit amounted to a double
and scored three Panther
runners. Pesante then stole
third and eventually scored
on a John Youmans single.
VanSchoick fought on the
mound and closed out the
inning with a strikeout.
In the sixth, Paul recorded
another strikeout and the
Panther defense continued
keeping the Gulls from scor-
ing.
In the bottom of the in-
ning VanSchoick added a
strikeout to his totals and
Ryan Franzoni recorded the
other two outs with solid de-
fense at third.
With Boro on top 9-1 all
they had to do was close out
the top of the seventh inning
to claim the rivalry win on
senior night.
Tim Rossi came in for the
Panthers and started the in-
ning with two straight
strikeouts. He then gave up a
walk and hit the next batter
to put two Garnet Gulls on
base. The final out came on
a grounder to third that
Fitzsimmons handled with-
out a problem.
Senior Panther Sean Con-
nor was happy with the
night’s events.
“It feels really good. I
mean, I was so excited com-
ing in,” he said. “We played
really good today.”
Connor has slowly im-
proved his hitting at the
plate, contributing crucial
RBIs in the last few games
this season.
“I’ve always been comfort-
able at the plate during the
whole season and recently I
just got really hot and it’s
been sticking,” he explained.
“I’m going to keep holding
onto it into states and I hope
it stays because I’m a big bat
in the lineup.”
Although it was not a
game that came down to the
last at bat in extra innings,
the energy that comes with
the crosstown rivalry was
still present. Both teams had
big crowds for support and
to cheer on every play.

ging rights for Point Pleasant

five-mile racers started on
one side of Treasure Island,
paddled out past a buoy and
around the island out two-
and one-half miles under the
Route 70 Bridge, and back to
Riverfront Park. The two-mile
route was the same but they
turned around just short of
the bridge.
The top three male finish-
ers in the five-mile race were
Ryan Matthews [Prone Divi-
sion], Terry Kent [SUP 14]
and Robin Delgado [SUP 14].
The top three female finish-
ers were Stephanie Shideler
[SUP 12-6], Veronica Ribot-
Canales [SUP 12-6] and Kim
Levins [SUP 12-6].
Matthews, a resident of As-
bury Park, won the five-mile
race from the prone paddle
position, way ahead of the
other competitors. Prone pad-
dling is when you sit on your
knees and paddle with your
arms.
“I got into prone paddling
through life saving. I do com-
petitive lifeguard events,” ex-
plained Matthews.
He also pointed out that he
was not there to win. He just
wanted to participate, have
fun and help with the
fundraiser.
“It’s always fun. I try to do
races that are fundraisers,” he
explained. “It’s nice to win,
but it’s not the most impor-
tant reason I do it. I just like
to be on the water and raise a
little money.”
Michael Naughton traveled
from Philadelphia to take part
in the two-mile recreational
race, in which he finished
first.
He explained why he en-
tered this race, saying, “My
company makes the perform-
ance monitors that measure
stroke rate, speed, distance,
time, heart rate and location. I
figured I should figure out
how to do the sport.”
Naughton was happy with
his finish and the conditions
on Sunday morning.
“I entered the race and it
was a lot of fun, just my
length. The water was fine
but when the wash came
through I was trashed. I’m not
a surfer so I just stopped
dead,” he explained.
He also hopes to return if
the race becomes an annual
event, saying, “This was a ton
of fun. Everyone is so nice
and it was a great event.”
The second-place finisher
in the two-mile was Stephan
O’Connor, a local from Point
Pleasant Boro.
“They said it would be a
nice day so I thought I’d go af-
ter it,” he stated. “The wind
was a little helpful coming
back but it wasn’t as much as
we thought.”
O’Connor has been paddle-
boarding for a couple years
but the Treasure Island Pirate
Paddle was his first race
event. The 39-year-old said he
would do the five-mile race if
they have it next year.
Dee Schmitz, a good friend
of Bubnowski, took first place
in the women’s two-mile race.
Schmitz is also the owner of
SUP New Jersey, where she
offers SUP lessons.
She was happy with how
the race was coordinated and
played out, saying, “[It was]
excellent communication, like
top notch. I knew about it ear-
ly on in the season so I could
get a lot of my students who
might be interested down
here. So it was a huge turnout
especially for the first race
early in the season.”
As race director, Bubnows-
ki put in a lot of work in a rel-
atively short amount of time
to get the race on the water.
Also the owner of the com-
pany Paddle Surf New Jersey
and a Point Pleasant resident,
Bubnowski has been a surfer
for about 40 years and got
into SUP around 10 years ago.
Through talking with friends,
he got the idea to put a race
together back in December
and then got the ball rolling.
“We had to secure a date to
make sure our race didn’t
conflict with another. We also
wanted to set it before Memo-
rial Day weekend, which is a
big holiday along the shore,”
explained Bubnowski.
They then had to meet with
the Coast Guard to secure a
permit and give a presenta-
tion to the mayor and council.
“Everybody was in favor of
this and they expressed how
happy they were and how or-
ganized everything was,” he
stated.
The race was also a
fundraiser with the net pro-
ceeds being donated to Saint
Peter School in Point Pleasant
Beach.
Bubnowski recognized the
popularity of the sport and
wanted to provide others
with the opportunity to par-
ticipate in it.
“Over the years the market
has tipped where 50 percent
of the people are coming
from other disciplines like ca-
noeing and kayaking. The
sport has just exploded in the
last few years, both men and
women,” stated Bubnowski.
“Everyone realizes it’s a
healthy sport to do and the
learning curve is rather
short.”
People that participated
were mostly local to New Jer-
sey but some made the trip
from New York, Delaware
and Pennsylvania.
All participants received a
“swag bag” consisting of a
race bag, a T-shirt, Jones bars,
stickers and discount
coupons, and a shot glass
from the race’s first official
sponsor, Tattoo Tequila.
According to Bubnowski,
he tried to utilize what he
could locally. The trophies
that were awarded to winners
were designed by a local
glasswork shop and the neck-
laces the women received
were done by Sunshine Day-
dream, a local jewelry store in
Point Pleasant Beach.
He also expressed his grati-
tude for the support he re-
ceived from Mayor Bob Sa-
bosik and Police Chief
Richard Larsen beginning
back in January.
“I would also like to thank
the Point Pleasant Boro Vol-
unteer Fire Department for
providing support boats and
the Point Pleasant Boro First
Aid,” said Bubnowski. “None
of this would have been possi-
ble without their efforts.”
It is safe to say the race was
a success. Bubnowski was
more than pleased with the
turnout and believes it will
come around again next year.
“For a first-year race we
thought if we got 75 people
that would be successful. We
actually have a turnout of 158
registered paddlers. We had
to close registration a few
days early or we would have
been well over 200,” he said.
“I couldn’t be happier with
the turnout. It’s absolutely
amazing.”

PADDLE
FROM PAGE 35

The action this past week-
end was quite different from
the week before as ocean
temperatures dropped down
from 56 degrees down to 51
degrees due to the hard south
winds. As a result the big
bluefish that were all over
the oceanfront were hard to
come by. Boaters and party
boats really struggled on
Saturday to put together any
kind of catch. It seems that
these big blues have moved
offshore to the east for the
time being.
Bunker have also been
absent from our area and so
have the striped bass.
Typically by now the bunker
are thick and snagging or
netting them is pretty easy as
is catching some big bass, but
that is not happening.
Hopefully the bunker will
show up this week and some
big bass will move up from
the south. Every season these
big bass average 25 to 35
pounds. We also see a wave
of 40 pounds bass come
through for about a week or
two and sometimes a class of
50 plus pound bass show up
for about a week.
Since bunker have been
absent trolling bunker
spoons has been the most
productive method to catch
stripers at this time. In the
last week the most produc-
tive area has been off of the
north end of Island Beach
State Park in 60 feet of water.
Some of the most effective
spoons to use are the Tony
Maja bunker spoons. Check
o u t
www.tonymajaproducts.com
and you will see everything
there along with articles and
instructional videos as what
to use and how to fish the
spoons.
Fluke season opens tomor-
row Friday, and regulations
for this season are a five fish
daily bag limit measuring at
least 18 inches. I spoke to a
commercial dragger this past
weekend who was working
inside of Seaside and he said
three tows produced 400
pounds of fluke. So that’s not
a lot. This would mean a lot
of fluke have not yet moved
in from offshore. I do think
however some boaters will
catch a few fluke that are
decent in size on opening
day.
Steven Perna of The
Berkeley Striper Club has
announced “The BSC will
hold our Annual Spring
Striped Bass Catch and
Release Tournament May 29
to June 6. The 2015 tourna-
ment will continue to be a
catch and release format and
include both a surf division
and a boat/kayak division.
“With the conversion from a
kill tournament to a catch
and release format last year
we had a fantastic event and
a huge success with an
increase in participation of
over 55 percent,” said John
Budish, Co-Chairman of the
BSC Fisheries Defense Fund.
“For our 12th Annual tourna-
ment in 2015 we are very
excited to announce over
$10,000 in prizes will be pro-
vided to the winners, includ-
ing a grand prize valued at
over $1500.” The significant
increase in prize value was
possible based on the gen-
erosity of our many sponsors
including CTS rods, Van
Staal, Pelican Products,
TICA USA and the many
others who have made this
year’s prize packages out-
standing.
For 2015 we added an
online sign up and we
worked to make it as simple
as possible. Go to
www.berkeleystriperclub.org
, under events select BSC
C&R Spring Tournament and
follow the instructions from
there. In addition partici-
pants can enter by mail or by
picking up a tournament
pamphlet at their local bait
and tackle shop. All of the
profits generated through the
C&R tournament go towards
the BSC’s Fisheries Defense
Fund which is designed to
fund efforts that focus on
effective management of
striped bass, help provide a
clean and productive habitat,
and to protect important for-
age fish in the goal of
enhancing our recreational
fisheries.
This past year we have
made significant donations
to Stripers Forever, The
Coastal Conservation
Association of Maryland, the
Jersey Coast Anglers
Association, Save Barnegat
Bay and Monmouth
University’s “Stripers for the
Future” research, a study
funded 100 percent by the
BSC Fisheries Defense Fund
to assess the physiology of
air exposed striped bass and
develop recommendations of
maximum time out of water
for released fish. All told, we
have donated over $38,000 in
the past 11 years to organiza-
tions dedicated to the preser-
vation of striped bass. “We
hope you’ll join the tourna-
ment in support of a good
cause and help us promote
C&R as a fun way to enjoy a
fishing tournament.”
All fishing must be done
with rod and reel, and is open
to all New Jersey waters
where fishing is legally per-
mitted. Fish will be entered

TIP OF THE WEEK
FROM JIM FREDA
When netting a big bass,
place a rubber band around
the net bag securing it to
the pole. This will keep the
net from falling into the
face of the bass that can
result in possibly catching
the hooks in the bag. When
the bass is in the net and
you lift up, the elastic band
will break and the bag will
open fully.

POINT BORO — The Panther
tennis team had their hands
full last weekend at the
Ocean County Tournament.
The team only produced four
points and came in 16th out
of 16 teams.
The biggest fight came
from the doubles team of
Chris Belman and Noah
Husak.
They went up against
Chris Woolley and Robert
Roche of Toms River East
and lost in two sets, 6-2 and
6-4. The Toms River team
was seeded at six while the
Panthers doubles team held
the 11 seed. They knew the
match would be a difficult
one, but they put in a strong
effort regardless.
In second doubles play was
another hard-fought battle.
Alex Bergen and Matt
Jamieson played the other
Toms River East doubles
team of Kemal Kansu and
Adam Greengrove. This
Toms River East team was
seeded at two and Point
Boro’s team was seeded 15.
The Panthers fell in two sets,
6-2 and 6-3. Kansu and
Greengrove ended up win-
ning the second doubles title.
All three Panther singles
players also were defeated in
first round play.
Kenneth Elliot, the four-
seed from Toms River North,
shut out Panther Ken Fel-
lows, the 13 seed, in two sets.
Derrick Fischer was also
shut out by his opponent,
Daniel Quigley of Donovan
Catholic. Quigley went on to
win the second singles title.
Seamus Higgins, Point
Boro’s third singles player,
also lost his matchup in the
first round.
On Tuesday, Point Boro
went up against Barnegat at
home in their final match of
the season.
It was senior day and head
coach Ryan Speiser was hap-
py to give the seniors on the
team the opportunity to play
all positions.
“Getting to play the seniors
in all seven positions was a
great way to end the season,”
said Speiser.
Point Boro lost the match
3-2.
