POINT BEACH — While last
weekend’s wet weather con-
ditions deterred beachgoers
from laying out and getting
that summer tan, volleyball
players from around the
country made their way to
Point Pleasant Beach for
Great American Volleyball’s
[GAV] Gold Medal Open
tournament.
The weekend began on Fri-
day with a volleyball clinic
called Dream In Gold, which
is run by three-time Olympic
gold medalist Misty May-Tre-
anor. The clinic is meant to
introduce those new to the
sport of volleyball to all
facets of the game as well as
expand the knowledge of
those that already participate
in the sport. May-Treanor is
hands on and, along with oth-
er coaches, offers expertise to
all that participate.
The weekend of digs, sets
and kills continued on Satur-
day with the first day of the
Gold Medal Open.
“Every weekend we run
two different tournaments.
One on Saturday and one on
Sunday,” explained Mark
Blair, the tournament direc-
tor. “Normally Saturday is
men’s and women’s and Sun-
day is juniors.”

POINT BORO — The Point Boro
American Legion baseball team re-
mains undefeated after adding two
more wins to their totals this week.
The first win came on Monday
when the team traveled t0 take on
Toms River East. The game went to
eight innings and the Panthers
came out on top 2-1.
The two teams were knotted at
one after seven innings of play so
the game moved to extra innings.
In the top of the eighth inning Mark
Leyble cranked a single that plated
Frank Graziano for a one-run Boro
lead.
Boro pitcher Thomas Paul then

THE OCEAN STAR
UNION — There is a feeling
that is almost indescribable
about high school football
under the lights. After a
long winter and a rainy
spring, that feeling was
recreated here Monday
night at the 37th annual Phil
Simms North-South All-Star
Football Classic at Kean
University.
The All-Star Classic was
named after the New York
Giants great last year when
he came on board to help
the event stand out among
the many smaller all-star
games popping up across
the state.
“It was just a good experi-
ence I think for everybody.
And for the kids- the coach-
es didn’t work them too
hard,” Simms said of this
year’s game. “We had a lot
of games, a lot of fun and we
had some big time laughs.
Hopefully they’ll be spread-
ing the word and just make
the game get better and bet-
ter as time goes on.”

My job presents many op-
portunities to meet future
professional athletes, the oc-
casional famous Point Pleas-
ant alum and local legends in
the form of coaches. But nev-
er did I think, within five
months of writing for The
Ocean Star, I would be so
lucky to meet an NFL great
and New York Giants legend.
On Monday, I had the
pleasure of covering the an-
nual Phil Simms North-South
All-Star Classic football game
thanks to the outstanding tal-
ents of Point Boro’s Jack
Fitzsimmons and Point
Beach’s Jake Fioretti. So,
thank you to you two, as well
as those who helped you
reach your potential. Had it
not been for you, I never
would have had the opportu-
nity to meet Phil Simms, a
two-time Super Bowl cham-
pion, a Super Bowl MVP, an
NFL MVP and a quarterback
for my beloved Giants.
I won’t deny it — it was
cool to introduce myself,
shake his hand, interview
him and then have a conver-
sation with him as if we had
known each other for years.
It is not every day you meet
someone of that caliber who
is also extremely genuine.
This was further confirmed
30 minutes after I inter-
viewed Simms and my pho-
tographer, Steve Wexler, had
me take a picture of him and
the Pro Bowl quarterback.
After I snapped a photo of
Simms and Wexler, I asked if
I could get one, too. Simms
smiled and said, “Of course,
get on in here for a picture,
Dominick.”
Pretty cool, right?
Well, I decided I would
share this story with you all
because what I found the
most appealing about this
celebrity encounter was the
fact that he was there in the
first place.
The North-South Classic is
a game that has been played
37 times now and, prior to
last year’s game, it was losing
its appeal. The organization
that sets up the game turned
to Simms with the hope that
he could bring something
more to an all-star game that
has a rich history in New Jer-
sey.
It’s a tough task, especially
with smaller all-star football
games throughout the state
popping up that are a little
easier for athletes to partici-
pate in. So Simms decided to
get back into action and
brought along a charisma and
desire to increase the game’s
notoriety, while also provid-
ing guidance to high school
players on the teams.
According to Simms, he
had a lot of fun working with
the athletes this week and
hopes they really enjoyed the
experience. He was also im-
pressed with the coaching
staff and the dedication they
exhibited to the players.
Simms could have easily
said, “Yeah, I’ll endorse the
game and you can slap my
name on it,” without ever ac-
tually taking part in the
event. But that was not the
case here. For that, I applaud
him.
It easy to become a famous
athlete and enjoy the spoils
of success without going
back and contributing to your
sport at a younger level. For
Simms, he enjoyed his high
school football days and fur-
ther enjoys working with ath-
letes at the high school level
now.
After last year’s Classic
was played at Piscataway
High School because Kean
University’s Alumni Field
was undergoing renovations,
Simms was ecstatic to be
back on the fresh FieldTurf
and was happy the players
were able to experience the
amenities of the athletic com-
plex.
Watching him on both
sidelines, it was easy to see
how much he loves the com-
petition and strategy that
comes with the sport of foot-
ball. I think it is wonderful
that he takes the time out of
his busy schedule to help
young athletes further their
football careers and make the
most of something that may
not last for an entire lifetime.
Admittedly, I was a bit star-
struck, and I remember
thinking after I interviewed
him, “Wow, did that really
just happen? Did I just inter-
view Phil Simms?”
Then the dust settled, and I
saw Simms as I believe he
hopes to be viewed — a gen-
uine and funny human being
that wants nothing more than
to share his wealth of football
experience with anyone he
can.
I respect Simms for all of
that. I will forever cherish my
first official perk of my job
and hope that the Giants star
finds much success in fur-
thering the Classic All-Star
game, as well as high school
football in New Jersey.

The two-time Super Bowl
champion was in the mix
throughout the week and fre-
quented both teams’ sidelines
as the game unfolded. For the
second year in a row the
South all-stars beat their
North counterparts giving
them an 18-16-2 lead in the se-
ries.
The final score of the game
sat at 23-21 and may not have
been a victory at all had it not
been for two Point Pleasant
senior football players. Point
Boro’s Jack Fitzsimmons and
Point Beach’s Jake Fioretti
both earned a spot on the
roster as defensive backs,
recording tackles on defense
and on special teams.
The first score of the game
came with 55 seconds left in
the first quarter when kicker
Vinny Mota of Long Branch
nailed a 45-yard field goal, the
longest of his career. Earlier
in the quarter he missed a 34-
yarder but that was put out of
sight and out of mind once he
gave the South all-stars their
first lead of the game.
On the ensuing kickoff,
North’s Juwan Dolbric re-
turned the ball 25 yards be-
fore Fioretti was able to bring
him down. The first quarter
came to a close shortly after
with South still leading 3-0.
The second quarter was
exhibiting a lot of strong de-
fense but with 6:18 left in the
first half, Mota put his foot
back to work, hitting a 37-
yard field goal to put the
South ahead 6-0.
With less than two minutes
to go in the second quarter
the South all-stars found
themselves 12 yards shy of a
first down and only one at-
tempt left to secure it. They
decided to punt and again
Dolbric was the return man
for North. This time it was
Fitzsimmons that wove his
way through blocks and to
the ball carrier to make the
tackle after an 8-yard return.
Starting on their own 35,
North’s Rylan Panghorn of
Lenape Valley orchestrated a
10-play scoring drive that cul-
minated in a 5-yard pass from
Panghorn to wide receiver
Vincent Nisivoccia of Seton
Hall Prep, tying the game at
six.
Kicker Matt Ferrera of
Cresskill converted the extra
point and gave the North all-
stars their first lead of the
game leaving only 27 seconds
on the clock.
The North took the 7-6
lead into halftime as eight
coaches were inducted into
the New Jersey Football
Coaches Hall of Fame during
a halftime ceremony. The in-
ductees were Clifton’s Ron
Anello, Montclair’s Jamie Bit-
tner, Elizabeth’s John Quinn,
Bernards’ Joe Milde, Colo-
nia’s Benny LaSala, Wall’s Al
Tirpack, Paulsboro’s Glenn
Howard and Eastern’s Don
Olsen.
The South got a huge mo-
mentum boost to open the
second half in the form of a
102-yard kickoff return from
Jackson Memorial’s Matt
Castranova. The rules of the
all-star game allowed kickoffs
into the end zone to be re-
turned, different from the
normal NJSIAA rules that
state a kickoff that enters the
end zone is automatically a
touchback.
The 13-7 lead was short
lived though as the North of-
fense went back to work from
their 20-yard line. With Dol-
bric at the helm the team
made their way to the 49-
yard line. In a third-and-10
situation Dolbric’s line broke
down after the snap, causing
him to scramble left while
still keeping his eyes down-
field. He landed on Matt Mc-
Fadden of Morristown-Beard
and dished McFadden a shov-
el pass that he took to the
house for a 51-yard touch-
down. After a successful ex-
tra point attempt the North
was on top again 14-13.
After a South kickoff re-
turn to the 36-yard line, they
put together a 12-play drive
that ended with another 37-
yard field goal attempt from
Mota. He hit his mark to steal
back the lead, 16-14, and with
just under six minutes left in
the quarter the North was re-
turning another kickoff.
Disaster ensued for the
North this time though as
they fumbled the ball around
midfield where Fitzsimmons
was able to locate and recov-
er the fumble for the South
all-stars.
This resulted in a 17-yard
touchdown pass from Con-
nor Davies of Lacey to Ter-
ence Young of Iselin
Kennedy and Mota tacked on
the extra point for the largest
lead of the game.
The final two minutes of
the third quarter saw no scor-
ing and the South entered the
fourth quarter up 23-14.
The two all-star offenses
exchanged drives that ended
in punts before the North
team went into a no huddle
offense. On a long second-
and-10 pass down the left
sideline South’s Marshe Ter-
ry of Northern Burlington
was flagged for pass interfer-
ence, which put the North all-
stars on their opponent’s 28-
yard line.
Terry quickly redeemed
himself on the following third
down when he intercepted a
North pass around the 10-
yard line to the cheers of the
supporting South faithful in
the stands.
With a little more than five
minutes left on the clock to
waste, the North did their
best to keep securing first
downs. Unfortunately on a
third-and-8 scramble,
Tymere Berry of Toms River
South fumbled the football
and the North squad took
over with 3:50 left on the
clock.
Panghorn hit St. Joseph’s
Ugo Ezemma from 15 yards
out and Ferrera drilled the
extra point to cut the North
deficit to two.
On the next South all-star
drive they managed one first
down and shaved two min-
utes off the clock before the
North team put together a
stop and anxiously awaited a
punt with 1:07 left in the
game.
South’s Jave Brown of
Franklin tracked the punt and
made a tackle for no gain on
the North’s return man, leav-
ing them to begin their final
drive on their 34-yard line.
Panghorn managed to
move the North offense to
the opposite 41-yard line but
the game ended on sack from
Charles Mitchell of Piscat-
away, closing the door on a
competitive 23-21 victory for
the South all-stars.
Simms was happy with the
way the North-South show-
down shaped up, saying,
“The all-star experience is
great and I’m really happy
with the whole feeling of the
game and how it went this
week and with the kids and
the coaching. The coaching
staffs were awesome- I just
have to say they were awe-
some.”
He was also pleased with
the accomodations of Kean’s
Alumni Stadium.
“I think Kean University-
just having this atmosphere
here- a stadium that fits high
school football perfectly,”
Simms stated. “The facilities
are unbelievable here.”
Both Fitzsimmons and
Fioretti truly enjoyed their op-
portunity to play football in
such a prestigious annual
football game.
“It was pretty fun, it was a
hard week of practice all week
but it paid off and the game
was fun,” Fioretti said with a
smile after the game. “Me and
Fitz were talking about it, like,
it’s hard- but it’s fun to be back
playing football out here.”
“It was definitely a lot of
fun- a really fun weekend. I
met a lot of new guys and this
game was really intense. It
was just a really fun experi-
ence all around,” Fitzsimmons
explained.
Fitzsimmons was also
proud the South team got the
win, saying, “Oh it was awe-
some, definitely awesome.
You didn’t want to come out
here and spend four days here
and not get a win so it feels
great.”
The game was a great op-
portunity for these high
school seniors to represent
their respective schools and
get back on the gridiron.
“It was awesome to have
someone in this game,”
Fitzsimmons said about repre-
senting Point Boro. “I know
Gliddon played in it last year
for my school so I guess I’m
kind of carrying it on, repre-
senting Point Boro and show-
ing them what Point Boro is
about.”
Both Fitzsimmons and
Fioretti were also pleasantly
surprised at how much they
enjoyed playing one side of
the ball instead of both, which
they had to do for their high
school teams in the fall.
“It was awesome. I kind of
like it a lot better, I’m a lot less
tired,” Fioretti said with a
laugh.
“It was a little relieving, I
wasn’t that gassed,” added
Fitzsimmons. “It was fun only
having to worry about one
side of the ball.”
Fioretti and Fitzsimmons
are not done with football yet
as they will be playing in the
All-Shore Gridiron Classic lat-
er this month. Both will look
to make an impact at the colle-
giate level, with Fioretti play-
ing for Gettysburg College
and Fitzsimmons playing for
Muhlenberg College, both Di-
vision III programs.
“It feels great to finally be in
a football game again after a
long winter and spring. I’m
definitely looking forward to
the All-Shore game and then
going to play next year in col-
lege,” Fitzsimmons said.
Everything came together
for the pair of Point Pleasant
football stars and the rest of
the South all-star team. Simms
hopes they take the experi-
ence with them for years to
come in addition to the game
being a much larger part of
New Jersey football.
“Well I hope it means some-
thing to them. In ten years
when this game is going on,
and it’s even bigger than it is
now, they’re going to say wow,
we were apart of this and
helped get it going,” he said.
Football tends to transcend
age and to be apart of some-
thing like the Phil Simms
North-South All-Star Classic
truly is something to cherish
and remember.
“I played in an all-star game
in 1974 in high school. It was
special and I still remember
playing in it and every time I
go back to Louisville, where I
grew up, I run into guys I
played with in that game,”
Simms recalled. “We still talk
about it and I’m sure these
kids will do the same thing.”

THE OCEAN STAR
WALL — Featuring the talent
of former Point Beach guard
Mike Rotando, Team Shore of
the Jersey Shore Basketball
League opened the 2015 sum-
mer season with a win over
Island Title on Tuesday
night.
Played in the Wall Town-
ship High School gymnasi-
um, Shore engineered a
come-from-behind win with
the help of some strong play
from Roy Mabrey, a recent St.
Anslem’s College graduate
and Keith Hughes who plays
for Georgian Court Universi-
ty along with Rotando.
The team, under the coach-
ing of Point Pleasant resident
Ralph Rotando, won 94-91 af-
ter not having a lead for the
first 35 minutes of the game.
“Walking in the gym
tonight one of the coaches
asked me how my team is
and I said it’s the same cast of
characters and I mean that
with all due respect,” coach
Rotando said with a laugh.
It took a while for the team
to settle down into a rhythm,
as Island Title out rebounded
Shore in the first two quar-
ters of play.
“We’re here to get better.
Some of these guys are still
playing in college. Some of
these guys want to move to
another level after college
and some are just that com-
petitive that they don’t ever
want to not be known as a
good player,” coach Rotando
explained. “So did it go the
way we want? We won and
we played really hard.”
Mabrey who netted 24
points and reeled in 10 re-
bounds in the win led the
team in scoring. He recog-
nized the slow Shore start but
was not too worried, saying,
“We were playing horrible to
start. I knew at some point it
would pick up because we
were keeping it close even
though we were playing bad.
I think that was enough moti-
vation to keep me in the
game, keep the rest of us in
the game knowing that we
just need something to fall
and we’d be fine. Just get a
few stops and we got it down
at the end there.”
Team Shore was outscored
in the first two quarters but
managed to keep the game
close despite trailing by 13
points during the second
quarter. At the end of the first
half they were only trailing
by six, 51-44.
They picked up play in the
third quarter and looked a bit
more comfortable on the
floor together. By the end of
the quarter they had cut their
deficit to three, only trailing
71-68.
Island Title ripped off an
11-2 run to start the fourth and
take a 10 point lead, but Team
Shore was relentless and kept
chugging away.
Rotando knocked down a
long jumper and then
Mabrey followed it up with
two 3-pointers to bring Shore
within three.
After a Shore steal and a
layup off of a rebound, they
were only down one point 81-
80.
Rotando then laid in a
layup to take Shore’s first
lead of the game with five
minutes to go in the game. Is-
land Title responded with a
3-pointer to recapture the
lead but Hughes of Team
Shore was not going out qui-
etly.
He knocked down two
shots from behind the arc to
take a four point Shore lead
culminating in an Island Title
timeout.
Shore kept the lead for the
final three minutes with spot
on shooting from Mabrey as
well as an inbounds play that
made sure he got the ball
when Island Title began foul-
ing.
“What’s great about our
guys is we understand the
game. That to us is the most
important factor here- how
hard they work and under-
standing the game,” coach
Rotando said after the game.
“How many teams would
have been able to do what we
did in some of the situations
we were in. Especially at the
end of the game when we
needed to get the ball in a
foul shooters hands when we
were up one with seconds to
go.”
Trailing 94-91, Island Title
had four seconds to tie the
game but the long 3-pointer
bounced harmlessly off the
rim and Team Shore had its
first win of the summer sea-
son.
“It went as well as we
could have expected for the
first one. It’s nice to get the
first one and not be playing
behind and having to get a
first win somewhere down
the line,” coach Rotando stat-
ed. “We just have great kids.
That’s why it’s the same cast
of characters every year be-
cause it’s just guys we know
are going to get here- they
understand the game and
they love the physicality part
of it.”
Hughes came up big dur-
ing the game and was overall
happy with the end result,
saying, “It’s been cool, I know
a lot of the players before I’ve
played on this team. Every-
body fits together nice, we
can all shoot the ball. Our ef-
fort is good all the time we
just need to play defense and
know situations a bit better.”
Mabrey added that he be-
lieves success lies in getting
everyone involved, saying,
“Last year we were more
one-sided scoring. We’re just
trying to move the ball and
play like a team and that’s the
key to winning in this
league.”
The scoring was well-bal-
anced with eight Shore play-
ers scoring points in the
game. In addition to Mabrey’s
24 points, Hughes and Rotan-
do each added 20.
Coach Rotando is not wor-
ried about his team coming
together as the season rolls
on, simply saying, “There’s
no egos out here- they just
play the game and they like
being around each other so
we’re good.”
Team Shore played again
last night against Seaview
Jeep but the game occurred
too late for this week’s Ocean
Star. Check back next week
for full coverage.
The team will take on
Horn Law Group next Tues-
day with tipoff set for 8:45
p.m. All games are played at
Wall Township High School.

pitched the final three-and-a-
third innings to pick up the
win.
Sophomore Josiah Gliddon
started the game on the
mound for the Panthers and
pitched four-and-two-thirds
innings.
Point Boro carried their
momentum over into the next
day’s game when they hosted
Toms River North. The Pan-
thers secured a 5-1 victory.
On the mound on Tuesday
was Michael Falconetti, who
pitched a full game, struck out
six and only allowed one run.
It was a windy evening with
little sun but Falconetti felt
the wind helped with some of
his pitches, saying, “Yeah it
helped. I feel like I got a lot
more on my fastball and a lit-
tle more movement on my
curve.”
Toms River North’s only
run came in the top of the
first inning on a ground ball
to third that was thrown to
first on fielder’s choice.
Point Boro’s bats were a lit-
tle slow to start the game, but
the offense eventually settled
down in the batter’s box and
secured some runs in the
fourth inning.
Graziano got things started
with a single down the third
base line into left field which
he followed with a stolen base
to put him on second. Sebast-
ian Severio lined a pitch to
left field and Boro had run-
ners on the corners.
Falconetti stepped up to the
plate and hit a slow grounder
to short just shy of the grass
line, giving him enough time
to beat out the throw to first
while Graziano made his way
home for the Panthers’ first
run of the game.
After a balk from the Toms
River pitcher that moved the
Boro runners to second and
third base, Leyble rocketed
off a high fly ball between
right field and center field
that neither outfielder could
locate.
The hit resulted in an RBI
double for Leyble putting
Point Boro ahead 2-1 before
giving away an out. The first
out came off the bat of Paul in
the form of a hard and fast
line drive into the glove of
Tom River North’s shortstop.
The next Panther batter
ripped a sacrifice fly ball to
center field that plated anoth-
er run for Boro. Ryan Carne
followed suit with a line drive
to the gap in right field for an
RBI single. The inning ended
with a strikeout but Point
Boro was up 4-1.
“The kids started to take a
better approach at the plate, a
little bit more patient,” said
Coach Matt Cilento. “You saw
the inning where we went
down one, two, three and the
next couple innings after that
we ended up working the kid
a little bit more.”
It was a solid lead but Point
Boro really put things away in
the fifth inning. Falconetti
struck out two in the top of
the inning and got the third to
ground out to Ethan Cannon
at second.
The bottom of the inning
was a bit tougher with a new
pitcher for Toms River North
that struck out the first two
Panther batters.
Next up was Graziano, al-
ways a solid hitter for Point
Boro. With his turn at bat
Graziano obliterated a fast-
ball, sending it far over the
left field fence. After round-
ing the bases he was greeted
by the rest of his team, cele-
brating his first homer on that
field.
“Well, it was a flat fastball
up in the zone and I just
turned on it,” Graziano said
about his hit after the game.
“It looked good off the bat, so
I knew it was gone right away.
My first one on this field so
that felt good.”
No more runs were scored
in the final two innings of the
game but some great defen-
sive plays were made to en-
sure a Boro victory.
In the top of the sixth, the
Panther defense secured the
first out on a grounder to sec-
ond that Cannon easily
scooped up and tossed to
first. After Falconetti beaned
a Toms River North batter ad-
vancing him to first base, Sev-
erio picked him off from be-
hind home plate with a laser
of a throw. The Toms River at
bat ended with a fly out to
right field.
In the top of the seventh
and final inning Point Boro
exhibited more defensive
prowess. Cannon made an
impressive play at second,
chasing down a ground ball
hit up the middle that hopped
over second base. He scooped
the ball and made the turn
and throw as he fell back-
wards beating the runner to
first. The next out was a rou-
tine grounder to short with a
throw to first, but routine de-
fensive plays are what carried
the Boro defense all game.
“The kids stayed in the
game the whole game, the
pitcher pitched to contact,
kept them alive in the infield
and outfield,” stated Cilento.
“They played well together,
kept the ball in front and
made the routine plays that
you need to make.”
Falconetti struck out the fi-
nal batter to complete the
Boro victory and a full game
on the mound.
“I like pitching the whole
game. I feel in control,” Fal-
conetti said after the game.
He is also comforted by the
stellar defense behind him,
whether it is a starter or a sub
that comes in later in the
game.
“It feels good,” he said. “I
know that I’m always going to
have someone to back me up.”
Cilento was proud of Fal-
conetti’s performance on the
mound and the strength he
brings to the team.
“Even in the regular season
at the high school level he’s
been a bulldog for us all sea-
son and he showed it today
on the mound,” he said. “He
goes after kids and he pitches
right to contact. His number
two pitch, his off-speed pitch,
kept them off balance and he
was able to control the pace
of the game.”
Coupled with a strong de-
fense and a patient offense,
the Panthers are looking more
and more comfortable with
each game.
“We hit the ball good as a
team, as a whole. We played
good defense. We just hit the
ball hard and when you put
the ball in play, things hap-
pen,” said Graziano.
He knows that even though
the team is undefeated they
need to keep their focus,
adding, “It feels good but we
just need to keep our heads
composed and keep looking
for wins.”
The American Legion team
did just that as they moved to
7-0 on the season after a win
Wednesday night over Lacey.
Behind Tim Rossi, who
pitched a complete game on
the mound, Point Boro won 2-
0.
Falconetti had an RBI dou-
ble for the Panthers first run,
which scored Severio. The
second run came off the bar-
rel of Graziano and marked
his second home run in two
games.
Rossi finished the game
with nine strikeouts, one walk
and only gave up two hits.
Yesterday the Panthers
traveled to take on Toms Riv-
er South but the game oc-
curred too late for this issue
of The Ocean Star. Read next
week’s issue for full coverage.
Point Boro’s next game is
on Monday when they will
host Brick. The game is
scheduled to begin at 5:45 p.m.

Coeds also played on Sun-
day and there was a juniors
tournament held on Saturday
since the Dream In Gold clin-
ic had run the day before.
According to Blair, the di-
visions that GAV caters to
range from beginner all the
way to semi-professional.
Juniors divisions are 12U, 14U,
16U and 18U. The other divi-
sions are Open, AA, A and B,
and all of them include
men’s, women’s and coed’s
teams.
“We have people from
Pennsylvania, New York and
Delaware. We had people
yesterday from Virginia,”
stated Blair. “We’re one of the
largest beach volleyball tours
in the nation so people come
from all over the place to
play.”
Pairs pay to participate in
the different tournaments
held throughout the year and
winners can earn cash prizes
based on the amount of
teams that signed up as well
as points that can be spent at
the store that was set up next
to the abundance of volley-
ball courts. The store fea-
tured volleyball apparel and
equipment for purchase.
Teams also earn rankings
through Volley America
based on their successes at
these tournaments that can
culminate into a larger cash
price at the end of the season.
In Saturday’s tournament
Adam Niemczynowicz and
Kyle O’Neill placed first in
the Men’s Open Division and
Janis Dixon and Jen Albrecht
took first in the Women’s
Open Division.
In the Men’s AA Division
Milson Peixoto and Peter
Zisa claimed first and in the
Women’s AA Division Jessica
Gadaleta and Karissa Herrick
placed first.
Men’s A winners were
Tony Pierro and Jonathan
Clark, Women’s A winners
were Carola Barrena and
Amanda Kuperavage and
Men’s B winners were Wolfe
Edelma and Anton Lagochni-
ak.
On Sunday the weather
cleared up a bit and the sky
yielded some sun as the jun-
iors teams from 12U to 18U
and the B, A, and AA coed
teams got their tournaments
underway.
Much of the day was spent
in pool play, which eventually
brought together the top
teams from each division into
a single elimination playoff.
The last team standing was
crowned champion.
AA DIVISION FINALS
In the AA division, the
highest level that played Sun-
day, the playoffs were intense
matchups between strong
teams that had been playing
all day. Each game played was
one game to 21 with the win-
by-two stipulation and a loss
resulted in being booted from
the playoffs.
This left two teams to bat-
tle it out on the sand late in
the evening.
On one side of the court
was the duo of Jack Fredricks
and Veronica Chau, a pair
that frequently plays together.
On the other side of the net
was the team of Lenny Kush-
nir and Meghan Blair, who
had earned their spot in the
finals with strong defense and
smart play.
The match began with a
Chau serve that culminated in
a point after Blair tipped the
ball over the net and out of
reach of Fredricks or Chau.
Blair and Kushnir then
sided out to tie the game at
one and Fredricks went to
work at the line.
Chau and Fredricks earned
three successive points on
three kills from Fredricks to
take a 4-1 lead. The two teams
then exchanged kills, two
from Kushnir and another
from Fredricks to bring the
contest to 5-3 in favor of Chau
and Fredricks.
After Kushnir’s second kill,
Blair unfortunately served the
ball out of play giving posses-
sion back to their opponent.
Chau and Fredricks put to-
gether a small 5-1 run to take a
significant 10-3 lead. Kushnir
and Blair took a timeout to
collect themselves and get
back in the game. This result-
ed in a 3-1 swing but still left
them trailing 11-6.
Chau and Fredricks then
put together a string of kills
and capitalized on balls hit
out of bounds to bump their
lead to 17-6 before Kushnir
snuck in a kill.
With the score 17-7 neither
team showed signs of fatigue
and kept working hard to earn
points.
Blair and Kushnir only
managed one more point be-
fore Chau and Fredricks
closed out the game with four
points of their own for a 21-8
finals win.
After the win Chau pointed
out that being able to make
the right calls is their team’s
strongest asset, saying, “Mak-
ing calls- I think that helped
us win the last game because
we would tell each other
where to go so the other team
wouldn’t hit at the same place
every time.”
Fredricks agreed with his
partner and was happy with
how they played the entire
game.
“For us as a pair, we play to-
gether a lot, we always have a
slow start to the day but we
pick up. You kind of get more
of a rush- an adrenaline rush
towards the later games as
they become more impor-
tant,” he explained. “The fa-
tigue- you don’t really feel it
as much as you think.”
Both Chau and Fredricks
participate in the GAV tour-
naments on a regular basis
and enjoy the friends they
make.
“Coming out every week-
end I feel you make a lot of
friends and meet a lot of peo-
ple,” said Chau. “There are
people that come out almost
every weekend.”
They added with a smile
that they will gladly return to
another tournament in Point
Pleasant in the future.
In the Coed’s A Division
the team of Amanda Kuperav-
age and Jonathan Galya
placed first and in the Coed’s
B Division Dianne Johannson
and Gregg Kelley took first.
The next GAV tournament
held on the Point Pleasant
Beach sand is called the
Baller Championship and will
be on July 11 and 12.

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT — On Tues-
day, the Ocean Giants took a
trip to take on the Reddick
Baseball Rays at Wardlaw-
Hartridge School in Edison.
They managed seven innings
of play and the Giants took
the road victory 4-1.
The game featured five dif-
ferent pitchers for the Giants,
all of whom never technically
gave up a run.
Joe Serrapicca pitched one
inning and struck out three
batters. Dean Loucka pitched
two, striking out two, Jerom
Cevetello pitched one, Ryan
Lillie pitched two and Bobby
Klatt pitched one.
The Rays only run came in
the bottom of the second
when the Giants tried to
pickoff a runner on first.
They managed to secure the
out during the rundown but
not before the Rays other
runner, who was on third,
made his way across the
plate.
The run did not do much
for the Rays as the Giants put
up two runs with their turn at
bat in the top of the third.
Both runs came off a two-run
single by Rob Alessandrine
who plays for Monmouth
University.
Neither team scored
through the fourth and fifth
innings but the Giants exer-
cised their bats again in the
sixth.
Evan Worth blasted a solo
home run to put the team up
3-1. Worth ended up going 1-
for-2 on the day.
Teammate John Mas-
terangelo followed it up with
a solo home run of his own to
bring the Giants lead to 4-1.
The defense remained res-
olute in the final inning and
the Ocean Giants move to 8-
6-1 on the summer season.
The team was supposed to
play a doubleheader against
the New Brunswick Matrix
last Sunday but the game was
rained out and is set to be
rescheduled at a later date.
Last Thursday the Ocean
Giants baseball team traveled
to John A. Phillips Park in
Old Bridge to take on the
New Jersey Angels.
After ending in a 0-0 draw
the Tuesday before, the Gi-
ants secured a commanding
9-0 victory on the road.
They went up early with a
run in the second and third
innings and kept the 2-0 lead
through the seventh.
They tacked on two more
runs in the eighth inning and
exploded for five more in the
top of the ninth inning to
complete the shutout.
The Giants finished with 14
hits on offense and did not
commit an error on defense.
The team matched up
against the Reddick Baseball
Rays again on Thursday, this
time at home on the Point
Beach High School varsity
baseball field. The game oc-
curred too late for this edi-
tion of The Ocean Star. Be
sure to check back next week
for full coverage.
On Sunday the Ocean Gi-
ants will take on the Medford
Starz in a double header at
Hartford Crossing Field in
Medford. The first of the two
games is scheduled to begin
at 10 a.m.

It was a terrible weather
weekend for fishing with
rain, hard south winds, and
big swell. As a result of the
forecast Mako Mania was
postponed until the week-
end of July 11-12th.
The captains meeting will
once again be at the
Manasquan River Club on
July 10.
The Jersey Coast Shark
Anglers Mako Fever will
also be contested that same
weekend. It could be tough
fishing for makos this late in
the season as the offshore
waters will have significant-
ly warmed pushing most of
the makos well to our north
to cooler waters. Big triple
engine boats that can make
the run will have the advan-
tage.
The next meeting of the
Manasquan Fishing Club
will be Friday, July 10th at
7:30 p.m. at the Manasquan
Women’s Club. The guest
speaker will be Bucktail
Boys speaking on bucktail-
ing fluke. The Club states
“Bucktail Boys Keefe
