THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — Point Beach
football opened their season
in excited fashion at home
last Friday. In a game that
went to overtime, the Garnet
Gulls topped the Blue Bish-
ops of Asbury Park 13-6 for
the first win of the season.
The first score of the game
did not come until late in the
fourth quarter. Before that it
was strong defensive play
from both sides and Beach’s
offense was a little slow get-
ting started.
“We had some jitters,
which is okay, against a very
athletic and talented team,”
said head coach John Wagner.
“We maintained. We stayed
within form. We battled with
the zero-zero. We scored.”
With 6:43 left in the game
the Gulls were pushing down
field. On a long toss down the
left sideline from Luke
Frauenheim, who only en-
tered the game in the fourth
quarter, Connor Kells wres-
tled a catch away from a Blue
Bishop defender and went the
distance for a 45-yard touch-
down play.
“I just had confidence in
my [quarterback] to get me
the ball and I knew if he got it
there I was going to make the
play,” said Kells about his
touchdown.
“It’s a great connection. I
just laid it out there and he
makes the play,” added
Frauenheim after the game.
“He makes me look good, he
looks good – perfect.”
On the extra point the
Gulls faked the field goal but
a slight misthrow left them
sitting with a 6-0 lead.
“We knew the pass was go-
ing to be there,” said Wagner.
“We had two guys wide open
and we just didn’t complete it.
It happens.”
The Blue Bishops were
there to compete and on the
first play of the following
drive Davin Thompson ran
68 yards down the sideline
and the game was tied at six.
Luck was on the Gulls’ side
though, and Asbury Park
missed the extra point.
The final five minutes were
a bit hectic but Point Beach
got a drive moving downfield.
Kells made another strong
catch on the sideline to push
Beach across midfield. Unfor-
tunately Frauenheim over-
threw Kells on the next toss
and the Blue Bishops inter-
cepted the ball.
With 59.3 seconds left in
the game Asbury Park began
their final drive. They
marched into Beach territory
and got all the way to the 24-
yard line before their drive
stalled.
On third down with three
yards to go they took a shot in
the end zone but Kells broke
up the pass.
The Blue Bishops ran on
the next play and converted
on fourth down. With a new
set of downs they worked the

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet Gulls
notched their first win of the sea-
son in style Monday afternoon. In
front of a home crowd, they took
care of Neptune 7-1 in a lopsided
contest.
Junior Reagan Gould led the
way for Point Beach with three
goals and two assists.
“Last time we played Neptune
it was close so we didn’t know
what we would be dealing with,”
said Gould after the win. “We
knew we had to score early and
we did that pretty well.”
Eight minutes into the game
Point Beach found the back of the
net with a goal from senior Katie
Gesumaria. She received a pass
from Cameron Barnes as she en-
tered the left side of the box. Af-
ter two touches she went near
post on the ground as Neptune’s
goalie dove over the shot.
In the 27th minute the Gulls
earned a corner and Madelyn
House took the kick. She booted it

POINT BORO GIRLS TENNIS NOTEBOOK
Boro season off to a productive start
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THEOCEANSTAR
POINT BORO — From day one,
Point Boro’s girls tennis team
had one goal: to improve every
day. So far the outlook is
promising, despite what the
scoreboard reads at the end of
the matches.
“We’re taking baby steps out
here,” said head coach Robert
Gale. “We are getting better
each day, even if it is the littlest
of things.”
On Wednesday, the Pan-
thers hosted Jackson Liberty at
home and lost 4-1. In first sin-
gles play, Abby Dalton was
shut out in two sets by an ex-
tremely talented Valicia
Browne of Jackson Liberty.
Boro’s Summer Oliphant lost
her second singles match in
two sets, 6-1 and 6-1.
In third singles play, Emme
Mroczko was best by Jackson
Liberty’s Kristin Yoo. Yoo won
the first set 6-1 and the second
set 6-3.
In doubles play, the first
doubles team of Elizabeth Hu-
sack and Megan Sutphen
earned Boro’s lone point. After
losing the first set 6-1 they won
the second set 6-0 and battled
for a 7-6 [7-5] victory in the
third set.
The second doubles duo of
Jamie Morris and Samantha
Moniello put up a strong fight.
They lost the first set 6-4 but
won the second 7-5. In the
third and final set they fell 10-
7.
It was not their only loss of
the week, as Point Boro fell to
Barnegat on the road Monday
4-1 and to Manchester Town-
ship last Friday 5-0. The three
losses move Boro to 0-4 on the
season, but it is not something
that could be guessed from
their positive attitude.
“The thing I like the most,
honestly, is the girls come out
with a great attitude everyday,”
stated Gale. “You wouldn’t
know if we were 0-4 or 4-0.”
The girls have noticed im-
provements in the team’s play
as well as individually.
“I think we’re doing well. I
feel like all of the girls are im-
proving and doing well in
practice,” said Oliphant. “The
second doubles and the first
doubles seem to be doing well
during matches.”
“I think we’ve definitely im-
proved from the beginning. I
feel as though everyone knows
what they’re doing more and
we’re working better as a
team,” added Dalton. “Prac-
tices we know what to do. We
know how to start. We know
what the procedure is.”
Dalton also explained how
they are more comfortable
during matches despite not
earning as many points as they
would like.
Both Oliphant and Dalton
have improved aspects of their
game in the short span of the
season.
“I know before the season I
said I wanted to improve my
backhand. I think throughout
the season so far I have been
improving a little bit,” ex-
plained Oliphant. “When I
started they wouldn’t even go
over the net but now I’m get-
ting some shots across the
court. It feels good.”
Dalton is proud that she im-
proved her serve, increasing ve-
locity and placement, saying, “I
feel better knowing that I’m im-
proving. I just know that I’m
getting better for myself.”
As the season pushes for-
ward she hopes to work on re-
turning opponent’s serves.
As a coach, Gale does his
best to keep spirits high and
provide pointers and encour-
agement.
“I try and give them positive
feedback on anything they’re
doing correctly or trying to do
correctly,” he said.
Gale also hopes that he has
taught his team how to have
fun playing the game of tennis
and that is something that stays
with them.
“I want them to look forward
to coming out to practice. I
want them to look forward to
the matches whether we win or
lose,” he explained. “I want
them to look forward to these
things every day so when the
season is over, hopefully they’ll
be like, ‘Aw man, tennis is over,
I miss that.’”
So far the girls are having fun
while improving their play and
getting closer with their team-
mates.
Dalton never wants to lose
that aspect of their game, say-
ing, “I think if we don’t keep
that attitude we’re definitely
going to get into a funk that we
won’t be able to get out of.”
Dalton, Oliphant and the rest
of the team will not let the
score keep them down and
look forward to the challenges
ahead.
Point Boro traveled to take
on Pinelands Regional yester-
day in a match that occurred
too late for this week’s Ocean
Star. Read next week’s paper for

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Point
Beach girls tennis team start-
ed their season off well with
a 5-0 win over Keansburg on
Monday.
The match was at home
and the Gulls had no problem
matching up against their op-
ponents.
In first singles Laine Mor-
ris shut out Keansburg’s Jacke
Huynh in two sets, 6-0 and 6-
0.
Point Beach’s Delaney
Bouton did the same with her
opponent for Point Beach’s
second point of the match.
In third singles play Kylee
Kells only seceded one game
in the first set, winning 6-1.
She then took the second set
6-0.
Point Beach rounded out
the victory with wins in first
and second doubles.
On Tuesday the girls trav-
eled to face Donovan
Catholic, where they were
handed a 4-1 loss.
Donovan Catholic’s Giana
D’Agostaro got the better of
Morris in three sets. Morris
took the first set 6-2 and after
battling it out the second and
third sets, she lost 6-4 and 6-
4.
In second singles play Bou-
ton was bested in two sets, 6-
3 and 7-6 [7-5]. Kylee Kells
claimed the Gulls’ only point
of the match in third singles
after defeating Courtney
Kunzman in two sets.
She won the first set 7-5
and then the second set 6-1.
In doubles play the duo of
Chiara DaSilva and Sophia
Longo fell to Donovan
Catholic’s first doubles team.

POINT BEACH 2 BOYS SOCCER ST. ROSE 0
Garnet Gulls shut out Purple Roses for first win
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls were able to put their
first tally in the win column
this week when they topped
the Purple Roses of St. Rose.
Played at home on the CJ
Hesse Memorial Soccer
Field, Point Beach scored two
goals while holding St. Rose
to zero.
“It’s well earned,” said head
coach Mike Baiata. “We had
three straight losses all by a
goal and this one felt good for
sure.”
The Gulls came out fast
and physical as they dominat-
ed possession during the first
half of play. They were ag-
gressive and played with
pace, which eventually led to
their first goal of the game.
During a Point Beach free
kick from behind midfield,
senior defender and captain,
Joey LaDuca sent a ball up
field and just inside the box.
Junior Connor Prima tracked
the ball and after letting it
take a bounce, headed it over
the charging St. Rose goalie
and into the back of the net.
“Joey LaDuca gave me a
great service,” said Prima af-
ter the game. “The ball
bounced and I cleaned it up
from the keeper. I had a nice
goal – it was a big team goal
and a good team win for us.”
Point Beach was happy to
get a lead and Baiata enjoyed
Prima’s aggressive score.
“Prima on that one – that’s
just a hustle play,” stated Ba-
iata. “You see the ball, you
fling it in the right direction
and it goes in for you. That’s
just hard work.”
The Gulls were hungry for
more but their play seemed a
bit erratic after the initial
goal, something Baiata hopes
to work on moving forward.
“Today you could see it got
a little hectic when we went
up but it’s a little bit new for
us this year,” he said. “So

Point Boro’s football team
opened the season with a
win and senior quarterback
Noah Husak played a big
role.
Husak went 4-for-8 for 57
yards and two touchdowns
in the 21-0 win over
Pinelands Regional on the
road.
“It feels great. Finally get-
ting on the offensive side of
the ball, which is where I
want to be, it’s great know-
ing that I can go on to the
field and everything that
happens offensively scoring
points, a lot of it goes on my
back,” he said.
Husak comes from a big
football family and first
started at the age of six with
flag football. He moved on
to tackle football two years
later and has loved the
sport since.
He has a strong work eth-
ic, something he has
learned from today’s NFL
quarterbacks.
“I look up to some of the
shorter guys like Johnny
Manziel and Russell Wil-
son. Those guys who were
scrutinized coming in to
college and the NFL,” he ex-
plained.
“I follow him [Wilson] on
social media and he’s in the
gym everyday, first one in
last one out – that kind of
mentality. Seeing how it can
work out for guys like that,
it can work out for anybody.
You work hard and good
things will come.”
Along with the rest of the
Panther squad, Husak has
been working hard day in
and day out in the hopes of
having a successful senior
season.
Not at all a selfish player,
Husak goes all out for his
team despite any individual
goals he might like to attain.
“My goal is to win every
week. There are some goals
I have in the back of my
mind but as long as you win
and do the right thing those
things will come,” he ex-
plained. “I do have some of
those goals in the back of
my mind but at the same
time I’m more focused on
winning and just getting the
job done for these guys.”
The senior knows he
wants to go to college but is
still not sure if he will con-
tinue playing football. He
will wait to see how he feels
after this season is over.

*SUBJECT TO ANY
Last Friday marked the
beginning of the high school
football season and the first
time I took in a high school
football game since my own
senior year of high school.
While in high school I
was not a member of the
football team, just a fan. I
did look forward to those
fall Fridays under the lights
when everyone got together
to support our team though,
and last Friday refreshed
that experience.
As you know, Point Beach
played Asbury Park at home
and in proper season-open-
ing fashion, the game was
decided in overtime [see re-
lated story]. What a way to
kick off the season!
Evidenced by the sweat-
drenched jerseys, hard hits,
and expressions of ecstasy,
everyone from the players
to the fans to the band were
excited to be back in action.
The game kicked off with
a tribute to September 11th.
There was a moment of si-
lence for those lost and a
thank you to those that
helped. After that it was all
out football.
For me, the beauty of high
school football versus the
NFL and even college foot-
ball is the pace at which the
game is played.
There are no TV time-
outs, no drawn out halftime
shows and everyone is in-
vested in the game. Whether
they are a parent, a brother,
a sister, a grandparent, alum,
or a teacher – they come to-
gether in support of the
team. It truly is a beautiful
spectacle to behold.
Especially when you stop
and think about all the mov-
ing pieces that come togeth-
er for it to happen.
The offseason workouts.
The preseason [early morn-
ing] practices. The studying
of tape. All done for the
chance to be victorious after
48 minutes on the gridiron.
The work does not begin
and end with just the play-
ers though.
Coaches put in the time
for the team in addition to
their regular day-to-day ob-
ligations. They take time out
of their summers and those
that teach put in the effort
before and after school. But
wait, there is more. The
coaches and the team are
not even the whole puzzle.
There is the cheerleading
squad whose sole job is to
be the ones cheering when
no one else is. It is easy to
cheer for a winning team
but much harder to cheer
for one that loses.
Cheerleaders work tire-
lessly on creating the right
cheers and thrilling acrobat-
ics to keep the crowd in the
game and to keep the atmos-
phere positive and ener-
getic.
Now, the cheerleaders
also work hand in hand with
another piece of the Friday
night puzzle – the marching
band. It sounds cliché but
the band keeps the beat of
the game. They are playing
the celebratory songs after
long scoring drives and they
let the crowd know when it
is time to get on their feet.
They too put on a show
during halftime and much
like the football team, it is a
culmination of practice and
making sure they know their
formations.
I would also like to give a
shout out to Point Beach’s
band for their wonderful ren-
dition of Bastille’s Pompeii,
the song they opened their
halftime performance with.
Well done.
And of course, the final
piece of the puzzle: the fans.
It is you all that scour the
sports section every Friday to
relive what you already
watched the Friday before.
Where would the Friday
night football experience be
without the fans?
You cheer, you cry, you get
mad when a call goes against
your team. All in all, above all
else, you go to support the
team, the band, the coaches
and the cheerleaders. In do-
ing that, you complete the ex-
perience.
For me, I was extremely
pleased to be a part of Point
Beach’s home opener. On the
sideline I witnessed all the el-
ements from the hard-hitting
football plays, to the cheer-
leaders supporting their team
to the halftime performance I
had a front row seat for to the
loud screams and shouts of
the fans. Every piece played a
role in Friday’s atmosphere,
as it will for the rest of the fall
season.
So thanks for bringing back
my treasured memories and I
look forward to those that
have yet to be created.

OVERTIME BY DOMINICK POLLIO
Friday nights unlike any other
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — The Panther
football squad utilized an ex-
plosive second quarter to top
Pinelands Regional in their
season opener last Friday
night. Point Boro scored
three times and never gave
up a point to the Wildcats,
winning the game 21-0.
“The kids played hard,”
said head coach Sean Henry.
“They worked hard all offsea-
son and all preseason so it
was a well-fought victory.”
The first quarter was a lit-
tle stagnant for both teams
but the Panthers turned it
around in the second.
“The first quarter was a lit-
tle slow, a little rusty,” stated
Devin Connelly. “Then the
second quarter we broke out
of our shell, scored 21 points
and our defense just played
great all night.”
Connelly found the end
zone first for Point Boro with
a 20-yard touchdown run
three minutes into the second
quarter. Collin Ansbach boot-
ed the extra point and the
Panthers were up 7-0.
The next score came after
Connelly recovered a
Pinelands fumble. Two rush-
es and two passes later Husak
connected with Mike Wad-
dleton for a 15-yard touch-
down catch.
On Boro’s next possession
they capped a five-minute,
82-yard drive with a 23-yard
touchdown from Husak to
Connelly.
Husak felt good under cen-
ter, saying, “The chemistry
was great. The release a few
times could have been better
and there were some passes
that should have been com-
pleted. Other than that it was
a good connection between
the receivers and I.”
The Panthers closed out
the half, and eventually the
game, 21-0.
“The defense was out-
standing all night. The of-
fense, we were good in the
first half, a little sloppy in the
second half,” said Henry.
“There were a couple
turnovers that we need to
clean up but nothing we can’t
fix.”
The Panthers lost two fum-
bles and Henry feels they
could have had more points
on the board at the end of the
game.
“The biggest thing is we
need to finish games,” he
said. “It was 21-0 at the half
and we left some points on
the board in the second half.”
“We broke down on a few
plays and things didn’t go ex-
actly the way we wanted
them to,” added Husak. “We
bounced back from some
misfortunes on certain plays
and scored three in the sec-
ond quarter. So it was a good
adjustment and good overall
win.”
Husak finished 4-for-8
with 57 yards and two touch-
downs. He also ran for 31
yards.
Nathan Husak and Connel-
ly split the rushing load.
Nathan Husak went 78 yards
on 11 carries and Connelly
went 64 yards with a touch-
down on seven carries.
Connelly added one recep-
tion for 23 yards and a touch-
down and Mike Waddleton
had one reception for 15 yards
and a touchdown. Ansbach
went 3-for-3 kicking extra
points in the win.
“I’m proud of the kids. It’s
always good to get the first
win especially on the road,”
said Henry.
Connelly was happy with
the energy the team put out
and hopes to keep that as the
season moves forward, say-
ing, “Just the intensity and
the teamwork we had. If
someone got down one of
our teammates was there to
pick him up, really protecting
each other on the field.”
Husak summed up the sea-
son opening win, saying, “It
was a big win. It was good
getting the first win out of
the way and sort of getting
the jitters out too. We have
high expectations going into
the season so it was good to
see how we really matched
up in a game atmosphere in-
stead of just scrimmages and
practices.”
The Panthers are on the
road again tonight when they
take on Donovan Catholic.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

Point Beach’s two points

Kells, who moved up in

won in three sets.
DaSilva and Longo de-

“The girls had some

POINT BEACH VOLLEYBALL NOTEBOOK
Garnet Gulls grounded
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Point
Beach volleyball team had a
busy week starting with a
loss to Rumson-Fair Haven
last Friday. The Garnet
Gulls fell in two sets, 25-21
and 25-19.
“It was a tight loss to
Rumson,” said head coach
Andrew Hanniffy. “They’re
one of our division rivals so
we should be fighting close
with them for position.”
Maddie White finished
the day with 13 digs, seven
kills and an ace. Erinne Re-
gan recorded eight assists,
five digs and two kills.
The next day the Gulls
participated in the Mustang
Classic held at Brick Memo-
rial. Luck of the draw
placed them in a division
with powerhouse teams Red
Bank Catholic, Donovan
Catholic and Red Bank Re-
gional.
“We had a good scrim-
mage season and I think the
tournament kind of brought
us back down to earth,” ex-
plained Hanniffy. “We know
what it is that we have to
work on if we’re going to
improve and compete
against those top level
teams in the conference.”
Unfortunately for Point
Beach, they went head-to-
head with another top team
on Tuesday when they
faced St. John Vianney. The
Gulls were handed another
loss in two sets, 25-10 and
25-20.
“It was tough. They [St.
John Vianney] have a great
team there,” stated Hanniffy
in regards to the first set.
“They have some really
strong servers and we got
stuck in a rotation that we
couldn’t get out of for seven
or eight points.”
The second set saw more
scoring runs for Point
Beach than the first but
they just could not get
ahead of the Lancers.
St. John Vianney estab-
lished a 23-14 lead before
Regan got hot from behind
the service line.
“When she gets on a good
run she sees the court well.
She backed them up with a
couple of deep serves and
then there was the timeout,”
explained Hanniffy. “I saw
that their player in the two
had backed up so the short
two was open. That’s exact-
ly where she served and she
aced them.”
Regan’s serves along with
a few blocks from the front
row brought Point Beach
back into the game. Thanks
to two aces from Regan
Point Beach was now only
trailing 23-20. Unfortunately
she served one long and
sided out.
St. John Vianney earned
the winning point when Re-
gan was called for a two-
ball during a back set.
Hanniffy knows the team
has a few things to work on
as the season moves for-
ward, saying, “We’re trying
to settle down a little bit
when we get a good pass.
We’re trying to run offense
and sometimes they get lost
in the moment.”
Hanniffy explained that
the team tends to revert
back to what they have
learned in the past, which is
pass and then set outside.
He hopes they can move
away from that simple style
of play and incorporate
plays they have been work-
ing on.
“In practice we’re trying
to get a little more sophisti-
cated on offense so when
we’re facing a team with tall
girls like this we have a
shot,” he said. “Tandems,
crosses, stacks – we’ve
talked about them all and
we’ve run them in practice.
It’s just a matter of translat-
ing practice to game.”
Regan finished the game
with six assists, two digs
and two aces. White had
three kills, two digs and one
block.
On the Lancers’ side of
the net Gaby Merced led
the team in kills with five.
Jill Fortier led in aces with
five and she also recorded
three kills and two digs.
Point Beach traveled to
Keyport yesterday in a
match that occurred too late
for this week’s paper. Read
next week’s Ocean Star for
full coverage.

POINT BORO 3 BORO BOYS SOCCER BARNEGAT 1
Boro takes care of Barnegat in the rain, falls to Central
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — “The rain is
my favorite to play in. It’s a lot
easier for the forwards. You
get a lot more mistakes from
the defense,” said Sam Mona-
co after Point Boro boys soc-
cer topped Barnegat 3-1 at
home last Thursday.
The Panthers scored all
three of their goals in the first
half of the match when the
rain was pouring down the
hardest. In the second half the
rain subsided to a drizzle and
Barnegat scored their only
goal of the contest.
“I like that we played with
energy the first half. The sec-
ond half we were just stag-
nant,” said head coach Pete
Casalino. “I think any goal
would have opened the flood-
gates but it just didn’t come.”
In Casalino’s mind he felt
the rain gave his team a sense
of urgency in the first half and
when it cleared up they got a
little bit too relaxed, some-
thing he says he does not
want his team to do.
“We don’t really want peo-
ple to relax,” he said. “We
want to put people under
high pressure and we didn’t
do enough of that in the sec-
ond half.”
The sense of urgency paid
off quickly for the Panthers as
Monaco scored his first of
two goals within the first
minute of the game. Off of a
cross into the box from team-
mate Mason Remondelli,
Monaco put his head on the
ball and the Panthers were up
1-0 early.
The second goal came in
the 27th minute. This time
Monaco dished out the assist
and Mason Pitts got a foot on
the ball and put it in the back
of the Barnegat goal.
The offense was in high
gear and the Panthers were
pressing an attack two min-
utes later when Barnegat
committed a foul in the box.
Monaco was chosen to take
the penalty kick and he netted
his second goal of the game.
“Mason drew the foul and
told me to take it. I wasn’t re-
ally worried, it was an advan-
tage for me,” explained Mona-
co. “We were up anyway so
there wasn’t that much pres-
sure so I just tucked it in the
bottom left.”
Point Boro entered the half
up 3-0 and a key player in that
score was goalie Tyler
Haines. He recorded eight
saves in the win and never
backed down from a ball.
“He’s aggressive. I think in
his mind he’s a second sweep-
er. The good goalies are going
to do that,” stated Casalino.
“They’re going to clean up
any dangerous balls over the
top before they have a chance
to be real dangerous. He did a
good job of that. He made
some good saves in one-on-
one situations that kept them
from getting too close.”
During the second half of
the game was when Barnegat
finally beat Haines with a
shot from Kyle Heidel that
sailed in the top left corner of
the goal.
Despite the goal, Casalino
knew Haines had performed
strongly, saying, “A 3-1 lead is
very deceiving. So his ability
to keep it at a two-goal lead
made it a little bit more com-
fortable for us.”
The Panthers had a few
more offensive opportunities
that they did not close on and
the game ended in a 3-1 Boro
victory.
Casalino was happy with
the win and with Monaco’s
play on the offensive front.
“He’s a guy who’s going to
score a lot of goals I think.
He’s going to be dangerous,”
said Casalino. “But there’s go-
ing to be teams that will shut
him down and we can’t rely
on him solely so the guys
around him need to raise the
level of their play too.”
In all, the win was a strong
team effort and moving for-
ward Monaco knows the in-
tensity they came out with to
start needs to last the whole
game.
“First half we really passed
the ball and moved the ball
really well and we had a sense
of urgency,” he explained. “In
the second half we came out
pretty slow and lacked our
technical part of the game
and we need to pick that up
next time.”
Next time came on Tues-
day when Point Boro played
Central Regional at home.
They fought hard but lost a
close game 2-1.
On Thursday the team trav-
eled to take on Pinelands Re-
gional. The game occurred
too late for today’s Ocean
Star. Read next week’s paper
for coverage.
The team is back in action
at home against Lakewood to-
morrow morning. The game
is scheduled to start at 10 a.m.

we’ll work on just really set-
tling us down and molding as
a core.”
Things settled down after
halftime and Point Beach was
holding onto their one-goal
lead. St. Rose turned on the
jets to start the second half
and pressed the attack from
the whistle.
They earned a few free
kicks and corners but were
plagued by offside calls and
were never able to translate
shots on goal into points.
Point Beach sealed the deal
with just under 15 minutes to
go. This time it was freshman
Ki Costa who got his foot on
a ball from teammate Aris Pa-
poutsakis.
“When I saw Aris take the
ball on the left side and cut
back I was holding on the 18,”
said Costa. “Once he played
the ball I knew I just had to
beat the defender and put it
in the net.”
Costa did just that and af-
ter a touch his shot went top
right corner for his second
goal of the season and the
second Point Beach goal of
the game.
“He’s a really good player, a
really good skill player,” said
Baiata about Costa’s play this
season.
With strong defense and a
big presence in goal from
Ryan Franzoni, the Gulls
went on to win their first
game of the season 2-0.
Costa was pleased with the
win and is happy to con-
tribute at the varsity level as a
freshman.
“It’s big shoes to fill. Obvi-
ously I’m not the tallest one
out there so I have to work a
little bit harder but it was a
big win,” he said with an even
bigger smile.
Of course Baiata saw some
things that need to be worked
on as the season progresses,
saying, “There’s a never-end-
ing list of that type of stuff.
Just cleaning up the touch in
general. A lot of simple
things, standard soccer things
that sometimes it slips our
minds and sometimes it
doesn’t really go our way.”
Nonetheless, Point Beach
has their first win of the sea-
son in the bank and it came
against an always-strong Pur-
ple Roses squad.
“It felt good. We’ve had a
tough schedule so far but it
felt good to get that first goal,
that first win,” stated Prima.
“It feels nice. It was a good
team win for us.”

season search Star News

The Gulls are now 1-3 on
the season after losing to
Shore 3-2 last Friday and to
Neptune 1-0 on Monday.
They also played Keyport on

Beach’s patience leads to second half goal
SHUT OUT

BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — The Point
Boro Panthers ran into some
trouble Saturday when they
hosted a resilient Ocean
Township team. The Panther
girls soccer team left it all on
the field but came up on the
losing end of a 1-0 decision.
“I felt we had the better of
the play. They worked ex-
tremely hard,” stated head
coach Mike Edolo. “They cre-
ated a bunch of chances. Un-
fortunately sometimes things
don’t go your way.”
Not only did Point Boro
create a plethora of chances,
but also their defense held
the Spartans of Ocean Town-
ship to few shots on goal.
Ocean capitalized on one
of those shots late in the sec-
ond half. The Spartans were
awarded a free kick a few
yards in from the right side-
line after an aggressive slide
tackle from Boro’s Rachel
Bailey.
It was clear that Bailey had
contacted the ball but in the
process of the slide she took
out her opponent. The refer-
ee did not hand out a card but
did award Ocean the set
piece.
The ball was crossed in
front of goal and one pass lat-
er Ocean’s Shannon Dunkley
put a foot on it. Waiting just
onside was Ali Weinstein
who redirected the kick into
the left side of the goal, just
outside the outstretched
arms of Boro’s Amye Zalesky.
The Point Boro players and
fans waited for an offside call
that never came and Ocean
had the one goal advantage.
The Panthers pressed on
the offensive in the final ten
minutes of the game but were
unable to find a goal.
“At the end of the day bad
things happen. I always kind
of think about that when I
think about our performance.
I always give the team one
goal,” explained Edolo.
“What happens if the team
scores a fluke? What happens
if there’s a terrible call, a PK
or something unexpected?”
Edolo pointed out that his
team had their share of
chances and if they had fin-
ished during those opportu-
nities the outcome of the
game might have been a bit
different.
He also took the time to
credit Ocean’s performance,
saying, “Credit to them. They
worked hard. They defended
well. They frustrated us.”
Despite the loss Edolo was
happy with his players per-
formance.
“I’m proud of my kids,” he
said after the game. “They
did a great job.”
The 1-0 score reflects just
how close the game was from
start to finish. Point Boro’s
offense was consistently
sprinting to passes upfield
and the defense closed in on
Ocean players almost imme-
diately.
One Panther player that
stood out on defense was jun-
ior Rachel Bailey who
seemed to be everywhere on
the field at any given time.
“Rachel - she’s phenome-
nal. She works day in and day
out. She’s one of the most un-
derrated players in the area,”
said Edolo about his defend-
er. “You stare at the field and
watch the game and she
sticks out because she’s all
over the place. She’s on her
way to being an exceptional

Bailey and the rest of the
Boro team had just come off a
4-1 win over Barnegat last
Thursday. Kaitlyn Seitter led
the way with two goals and
teammates Julia Conway and
Erin Guilfoyle each added
one. Zalesky recorded seven
saves in goal during the road
win.
The team was back in ac-
tion on Tuesday when they
traveled to take on Central
Regional. The Panthers came
home victorious in a 3-1 deci-
sion. Devon Wondolowski
finished with two goals and
Seitter contributed the other.
Julia Fitzsimmons, Conway
and Bailey each had an assist.
Yesterday they hosted
Pinelands Regional but the

Conheeney was worried
that due to their late start with
school, his runners might not
be acclimated to running in
the afternoon as opposed to
their early morning practices.
Fortunately for the Panthers,
the boys team proved their
coach wrong.
Senior and team captain Dy-
lan Peters led the race from
start to finish and crossed the
finish line with a time of 16:24.
Conheeney described his time
as a “very respectable early
season time.”
In second place was fresh-
man Devin Hart, which came
as a bit of a surprise for Con-
heeney but one he was not up-
set about. Hart clocked in at
16:44.
“He had a remarkable first
5K outing for a freshman and
first varsity high school race,”
stated Conheeney.
Donovan Catholic’s Frank
Dirkin secured the third place
finish but Point Boro dominat-
ed the top ten.
In fourth place was Logan
Carter [18:21] followed by
Cortlandt Dalik [18:27], Math-
hew Schwartz [18:29], Luke
Dragon [18:30] and Darian
Healy [18:40]. In ninth place
was another Donovan
Catholic runner but securing
the 10th position was Boro’s
Nicholas Pettinato with a time
of 18:58.
The girls race was equally
dominated by Point Boro,
something head coach Billy
Kostenko is excited about.
“I was proud of how well
the girls performed,” said
Kostenko. “It is a great affirma-
tion for them that all of the
time and work they put in over
the summer was worth it.”
Leading the way for the Pan-
thers was Katie Bragen who
finished first in the race with a
time of 19:53. She was followed
by Danielle Tsougarakis in
second [21:17], Rachel Pausz in
third [21:45], Kristi Lennon in
fourth [22:42], and Lily Broud-
er in fifth [22:51].
Donovan Catholic secured
the six spot but more Panthers
fell in line.
Olivia Zahorsky took sev-
enth [23:13], Sara Campbell
placed eighth [23:14], and Na-
talie Murphy finished ninth
[23:20]. A Barnegat runner
claimed the 10th spot.
“It is always nice to win
your first couple of meets,”
stated Kostenko. “That said,
we are also excited just to get
some race times to use for goal
setting and making plans for
how to make ourselves better.”
The Panthers have what it
takes to be great and should
only improve as the season
continues.
Equally as important as win-
ning their first race of the sea-
son, Kostenko pointed out
how great it was that the girls
are forming a strong bond as
teammates and friends.
“The girls are forming such
a strong bond and I showed in
today’s race and in the way
they hung together before and
after the race too.”
Both teams will be back in
action Tuesday against Lake-
wood. The race is at Ocean
County Park and set to begin
at 3:45 p.m.
Boro teams start 2-0

to the far post and Beach’s
Lauren Kuhlwein executed a
left-footed volley on the run
right into the goal. Point
Beach closed out the first half
up 2-0.
The team kept it in high
gear and four minutes into the
start of the second half they
hit their third goal of the
game. This time it was Gould
who chased down a cleared
ball from Willow Nicolaides,
streaked up the sideline and
laid it in goal with her right
foot.
Five minutes later Gould
scored again, this time she
streaked up the opposite side-
line and booted it in with her
left.
Point Beach was ahead 4-0
but that never stopped Nep-
tune from working on the at-
tack. They scored their only
goal of the game a few min-
utes later on a cross from
Monica Seidle to Ireland
Flood. Instead of striking with
the cross Flood redirected her
shot back across goal and into
the left side just out of reach
of Toni Abdy, Beach’s goalie.
The goal did not matter
match as Cameron Barnes
joined the action and scored
Beach’s fifth goal. It came on a
rebound that bounced off
Neptune’s wall during a Gar-
net Gull set piece.
Barnes then assisted the
next Garnet Gull goal, which
earned Gould a hat trick. After
settling a pass from Barnes,
Gould dribbled around Nep-
tune’s goalie as she dove for
the ball. She kicked the ball
into the net and Point Beach
was up 6-1.
Neptune almost scored
their second goal of the game
on a strike a few yards outside
the box but Abdy stretched
out a dive and swatted it away
last second.
Point Beach’s final goal
came as a result of quick and
accurate passing. It started on
a pass from Kendall Bottrell
that Reagan dumped off to Ju-
lia Cairns. Cairns returned the
ball to Gould who played a
through ball to freshman
Nicole Sharkey. Sharkey
squared up and hit the ball be-
tween the legs of Neptune’s
goalie.
Point Beach’s defense and
offense came together and ran
like a well-oiled machine and
earned their first win of the
season.
“It feels good. We were
knocking the ball around and
we’ve been doing that but
now we finished and put the
ball in the back of the net. It’s
good to see,” said head coach
Adam Curtis. “We got good
movement and put in the ex-
tra work to get the ball in the
net. That’s what we were lack-
ing the last two games.”
Gould pointed out that even
though the team is young they
have a knack for passing well
and know how to work to-
gether.
“We know how to play. We
know how to pass the ball. We
know how to string it up. We
can move the ball well enough
that we can make more goals
off of it,” she said. “We know
how to work together and
that’s the most important
thing and we’re getting better
at it everyday.”
On defense Nicolaides, who
played at the center back posi-
tion, directed traffic all game
and was vocal in letting her
team know when to spread
out.
“Defense was very well or-
ganized. Willow was in the
center back and she con-
trolled everything, and any-
thing that did get through she
was cleaning up,” stated Cur-
tis. “We kept possession on
the ball, which helped our de-
fense out. When we lost the
ball we were compact and our
midfield worked hard to get it
back.”
The Garnet Gulls kept mov-
ing from start to finish and
their relentless effort was re-
flected in the final score.
Curtis summed up his
team’s stellar play, saying, “It
was a good all around team ef-
fort defensively and offensive-
ly. It started in the back when
we won it and then we put the
ball in the back of the net.”
Point Beach was coming off
of a 3-0 loss to Shore Regional
last Friday. It was a tough loss
but it was something the team
moved past quickly.
On Tuesday the Gulls trav-
eled to take on St. Rose. They
came out on top with a 2-0
shut out.
Gould and Michaela Novo
each netted a goal while team-
mates McKayla Hughes and
Brittany Richardson each
recorded an assist. Abdy
recorded nine saves in the
win.

The Point Beach defense stepped up when needed most. They held
Asbury to an attempted field goal in the final seconds of the game,
which the Blue Bishops missed, sending the game to overtime.
ball to the seven-yard line be-
fore the clock became a factor.
With 1.9 seconds remaining
in regular time Asbury at-
tempted a field goal for the
win.
The kick went wide right
and the game moved into
overtime.
In the same fashion as col-
lege football, both teams get a
shot at scoring from the 25-
yard line. Point Beach won
first possession and went to
work.
Frauenheim tossed a pass to
Chris Webber for a first down.
The next first down came on a
carry from Jason Bowers who
bullied his way forward
through a few Asbury defend-
ers.
From a few yards out, Web-
ber took the hand off and rum-
bled his way into the end zone
and the Garnet Gull crowd
went wild. Sean Gould hit the
extra point for Beach and it
was all on the defense to main-
tain the 13-6 lead.
On Asbury’s second play of
the drive, a pass over the mid-
dle was tipped by a Blue Bish-
op into the hands of a charging
Frauenheim. The interception
marked the end of the game
and Point Beach gave its fans
an exciting home opener.
“Great high school football
game. Great experience. Great
opener,” said Wagner. “I hope
we grow from this. Our goal
was to be 1-0 after this week.
We’re 1-0. Now, our goal is to
be 2-0.”
“We’ve been working all
summer since June and it was
a little tight for the game but I
knew we were going to come
out of it in the end. Especially
in overtime,” added Kells. “It
feels so great right now.”
Other than the line, Point
Beach has a young team. Wag-
ner was pleased with how they
persevered through some dif-
ficult plays to earn a hard-
fought win.
“We had a couple of tough
calls and we had a pick that we
threw to the kid. But we really
overcame some things,” he
stated. “I think we really grew
up a lot tonight, which is im-
portant.”
Kells made a point to ex-
press how the win was a team
effort, saying, “Every single kid
on this team, whether a fresh-
man, sophomore, or junior,
plays a part in the win. Every-
one played a part in this win.
Not just the starters and sec-
ond string.”
Point Beach is ready for
their next game against Mid-
dlesex and Wagner turned his
focus to preparing immediate-
ly after the game.
“We’re a competitive team.
We have to see how we adjust
this week,” Wagner explained.
“We have to throw away what
we did this week for prepara-
tion to get ready for the new
week.”
Frauenheim was just as fo-
cused and excited for the next
game, saying, “It’s just a start.
We can’t wait to get out there
next week against Middlesex.
It’s going to be another big
game and hopefully we get a
win.”
Frauenheim finished the
game with 101 passing yards on
three completions. On defense
he recorded eight tackles and
snagged one interception.
Kells finished with three
catches for 101 yards and a
touchdown.
Standing out on defense for
the Gulls was Tanner Smith
who recorded 12 tackles and
two sacks in the win.

BRITTANY RICHARDSON

Our annual mullet run has
started along the beach and as
a result the striped bass action
has started to improve in the
surf. This run traditionally
marks the beginning of our
fall season and the blitzes that
we so eagerly anticipate that
lie ahead. As these small baits
migrate south they will etch a
perfect sketch of our coastline
and the first visual display of
surface action blitzes will
once again commence.
Striped bass that I like to call
local fish, those that have
been present around our jet-
ties and deeper holes on our
inshore rockpiles, will take an
interest as dawn and dusk will
become prime activity times.
These bass will range in size
from shorts into the low 20 lb
ranges.
There are a variety of mul-
let species that range from
Nova Scotia to Florida. Here
in New Jersey the species that
takes center stage is Mugil
cephalus, also known as the
striped mullet. Other com-
mon names for this bait are
finger mullet or mushers.
This is so because when
viewed from the front they
are cylindrical and blunt like
your fingertips with a similar
length. Their bellies are also
soft and they can be easily
mushed when squeezed
between your fingers.
When fishing for striped
bass during the mullet run
live mullet will out produce
all other baits or artificials.
Tie direct to your main line
with a 2/0 or 3/0 Octopus
style Gamakatsu or Ultra
Point Mustad live bait hook.
Hook ¼ inch ahead of the
mullet’s dorsal and allow the
bait to free swim. Stripers will
inhale the mullet in one swipe
so you can be assured that the
bait is in its mouth when the
initial run takes place. Set the
hook hard as to drive the hook
point home into the bony
palate of the bass. For artifi-
cial lures fish ones that will
ride hide in the water column
as this will emulate the baits
natural movement the best.
As mullet move through the
water their rounded snout
throws a characteristic wake
and recognizable dimples.
Surface poppers are very
effective when the water is oil
slick clam. Use ½-1 oz poppers
on light tackle.
Try any of the time proven
favorites such as Polaris,
Gibbs, Atoms, Yozuris, or
Stillwater Smack’it Jr in white
or yellow. Small megabait
style swimming plugs are also
time proven producers
because of their wider girth as
are Storm Wildeyes in the
pearl color.
A few party boats report
that big bluefish made an
inshore appearance up to our
north in the area of the
Atlantic Highlands but the
pods were not well concen-
trated in any big numbers.
The boats did catch when
they were on top of them but
you had to remain with the
pod to continue to catch. The
blues were in the 8-12 lb range.
This is a good sign however as
big bluefish have been absent
from our inshore waters since
May when they appeared for
their traditional spring run.
There is plenty of bait inshore
to hold them so we will just
have to see if more come in.
It was a tough week to get
out to the yellowfin area of
the Bacardi as strong winds
kept boats from making the
run. The bite should continue
for the next several weeks and
it looks like there will be a
window tomorrow and
Saturday. It is also possible
that some bigger yellowfin
may move into this area as
September is usually a prime
month to catch these fish.
Bob over at Fishermen’s
Den in Belmar reports, “We
had good fluke fishing off-
shore this week. The Belmar
boats reported fluke to 8 lbs.
The Shark River is still going
strong with snappers and
fluke. The boats also reported
some good porgy fishing over
the weekend. The surf has
come to life the last few days
with small bass. We did see
fish to 11 lbs. The bass have
been taking poppers most of
the time as they are feeding
on mullet. Hope it is just the
beginning of the fall run.”
Capt Howard Bogan of the Big
Jamaica out of Brielle reports,
“We are now booking tuna
trips.”
Starting September 13th our
tuna schedule will be 31 hr
trips sailing 7:00 am Tuesday
and Thursday, 22 hr trips sail-
ing 5:00 pm Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. The Thursday-
Friday trip this past week had
some pretty good action. We
started the trip trying for
tuna. There was plenty of life
with bait fish, whales, and
dolphin. We made one drift
but the tuna were not ready to
bite. We switched over to
mahi and just like our last trip
it was mahi madness as we
caught plenty of mahi up to 20
lbs. We then set up for tuna
and it wasn't long before Gary
Yearwood landed a 75 lb yel-
lowfin. We made several
drifts and had several hook-
ups each time but the large
big eyes were hard to handle.
We wound up landing 4
bigeyes from 100 lbs to 200
lbs. We also landed a few yel-
lowfin from 70 to 100 lbs.
After that we still read fish
but the bite turned off. In the
morning we made another
drift and caught several tile-
fish. Gary Yearwood from
Staten Island, NY landed 2
nice yellowfin. Art Haluszka
from Edison caught two
bigeyes. The largest was 200
lbs. I was able to jig a 110 lb
bigeye when I took over the
chunking duty while we were
fighting 4 fish. That one fell
prey to the old standby 8 oz
chrome hammered jig.
Between that fish and the yel-
lowfin generously donated by
Gary everyone went home
with some tuna to add to their
catch of mahi-mahi. Fishing
should continue to improve.
The water temperature is 81
to 81.8 degrees in the canyon.

tion call 732-528-5014 or go to

Capt Ryan of the Jamaica II
out of Brielle reports, “We had
very good fluke fishing this
week on the days when condi-
tions were reasonable but
there was a lot of wind this
week that made some trips
tough. Mostly bigger fish
being caught with 3-6 lbers
common especially when the
drift is slow. Ed Nolan from
Manasquan had a limit of
fluke to 6 lbs. Ray Bryant from
South Orange had a limit of
fluke to 6 lbs as did Pete
Talevi from Trenton. Frank
Pogue still leads the monthly
pool with a recently caught
9.6 lb fluke. Half Day Fluke
8:00am and 2:00pm daily
except Mondays. Monday
Super Marathon 6:00am till
4:30pm, Capt Ryan.”

POINT BORO GYMNASTICS NOTEBOOK
Panthers begin season with close meet
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — Point Boro’s
girls gymnastics team opened
up their season on Tuesday
with a meet against Man-
chester Township.
The Panthers lost 94.575-
88.375 but head coach Jenn
von Doehren was pleasantly
surprised with how the
young team performed.
“Overall we had a terrific
first meet,” she said. “This
was the first time most of the
freshmen ever competed in
gymnastics so it was great to
see how excited they were.”
The two teams went up
against each other in four
events: the vault, the bars, the
beam and the floor exercise.
Manchester Township took
the top three spots in both
the vault and the bars. Fran-
nie Smalley placed first in
vault with 8.95 and Tara
Roberts took first in the bars
with 7.6.
The Panthers broke into
the top three in the beam and
the floor exercise.
Natalie Dikun of Point
Boro scored 8.15 for second,
behind Roberts who scored
8.3.
In the floor exercise
Boro’s Riley Larsen scored
7.75 for third behind Roberts
in second [7.925] and Small-
ey in first [8.15].
Von Doehren knows what
the team needs to work on
and is excited to help the
team improve their skills
now that they have officially
competed.
“We have a lot of work to
do, but it was awesome to
see the girls' team spirit and
enthusiasm for each other,”
said von Doehren. “We are
looking forward to our next
competition.”
Point Boro’s next meet is
Sept. 28 and they will host
Barnegat. The meet is at
