THE OCEAN STAR
TOMS RIVER — The temper-
atures might be dropping
but the Point Boro girls in-
door track and field team are
running hot. They competed
in the Ocean County Relays
on Saturday and the Ocean
County Championships on
Wednesday at the Bennett
Indoor Athletic Complex in
Toms River.
They cashed in strong fin-
ishes at the relays with third
place finishes in the 4x400-
meter relay and the 1600-
meter sprint medley.
The team of Megan Zabel-
ski, Katie Bragen, Summer
Jarolmen and Jessica Gaven
clocked in at 4:28.01 in the
4x400 and the team of Hope
Savino, Jarolmen, Gaven
and Bragen clocked in at
4:31.36 in the 1600 sprint
medley.
“I was really excited for
our team. We have a few
more higher quality runners
this year where we’re able
to put together a few more,
stronger relays,” said head
coach Billy Kostenko. “It al-
lows people to spread out
and not have to be bur-
dened with a lot of races.”
In addition the teams are
closing in on school
records, which motivates
them to continue pushing
harder as the season carries
on.
“We have so many teams
that were pretty close to the

Carr hat trick helps Boro
equalize with Rumson
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — It was a pro-
ductive week for the Point
Boro ice hockey team, begin-
ning with a 2-1 win over Jack-
son Memorial Wednesday in
the Winding River tourna-
ment consolation round.
Boro was outshot in each of
the three periods but they
were able to secure a win,
thanks to a stellar perform-
ance between the pipes from
goalie Cooper Klotz.
Jackson Memorial scored
their lone goal with 13 sec-
onds left in the first period.
Point Boro answered in the
second period with a power
play goal.
Just 4:45 minutes into the
second period the Panthers
were up a man due to a Jack-
son Memorial interference
penalty. They capitalized on
the power play 37 seconds
into the penalty on a Ryan
Carr goal with assists from
Jake Toner and Tom Colorio.
With the game tied it was a
long stretch of hockey before
a winner was decided.
With just over one minute
left to play in regulation
Boro’s Dan Herrington scored
to give the Panthers the one-
goal lead. Again, Boro had
taken advantage of a power
play on another Jackson Me-
morial interference penalty
that went to the same player
as in the second period.
Colorio and Matt Kimak as-
sisted Herrington on the
game-winning goal.
On Tuesday the team trav-
eled to the Red Bank Armory
for a tough matchup against
the Bulldogs of Rumson-Fair
Haven. The battle on the ice
ended in a 4-4 tie but never
would have been even if it
were not for a late third peri-
od Boro rally.
Rumson had established a
3-1 lead after two periods of
play with Boro’s goal coming
late in the second period.
Carr scored on an assist from
David Costagliola.
Then three minutes into
the third period Boro’s John
Callander scored with assists
from Eric Dahl and Kimak to
cut the deficit to one goal.
The Bulldogs looked to ice
their victory though and man-
aged one last score with 8:14
left in the game. But Boro has
been down before and they
were not ready to add anoth-
er loss to their record.
It was Carr who led Boro’s
charge with his second goal of
the night just one minute af-
ter Rumson looked to pull
away. He scored on an assist
from Colorio.
Then with three minutes
left in the third period Carr
went unassisted for the game-
tying score and his third goal
of the night.
The two teams skated hard
the final minutes of regula-
tion but neither team found
the back of the net again to
close out the night in a 4-4 tie.
It is Rumson’s first tie in a
five-win season.
Point Boro moves to 3-5-3
on the season with the tie.
The Panthers take to the ice
tonight against Brick Town-
ship. The game is at the
Ocean Ice Palace and the
puck is set to drop at 5:10 p.m.

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls wrestling team opened
their dual meet season Tues-
day with one of the toughest
matchups on their schedule.
They traveled to Manalapan
and came home on the losing
end of a 55-15 decision.
The match started at the
138-pound weight class with
Beach’s Roddy Rupp taking
on Matt Mustillo. Rupp lasted
the first period but was
pinned 21 seconds into the
second.
John Finnerty tied the
match with a first-period pin
in the 145-pound bout and Gi-
ancarlo Crivelli followed suit
with a pin 30 seconds into the
152-pound bout. The Gulls
had secured their only lead of
the match.
Manalapan won the 160-
and 170-pound weight classes
by major decision to pull
themselves ahead of Beach,
14-12.
They then increased their
lead with pins in the next
three bouts. With the Garnet
Gulls trailing 32-12, Forrest
Gardner stepped onto the
mat against Manalapan’s Pe-
ter Benedetti in the heavy-
weight bout.
Gardner and Benedetti
went the full six minutes and
Gardner secured a 13-7 deci-
sion win for Beach. It was the
last bout the Gulls would win
that evening.
Manalapan decisively took
the final five weight classes
to secure the 55-15 win.
It is never easy to begin the
season with a big loss but the
Garnet Gulls quickly
bounced back with a tri-
match on Wednesday.
They went up against St.
Rose and Asbury Park at St.
Rose High School and came
home with two commanding
victories.
In their match against As-
bury Park, the Garnet Gulls
won 72-3. Asbury forfeited
the 182-, 220-, 106-, 113-, 120-,
132-, 138-, 152- and 170-pound
weight classes while Beach
only forfeited the 113-pound
weight class.
Out of the remaining five
bouts the Garnet Gulls won
four – all by pins in the first
or second periods of each
bout. Asbury Park secured
one decision win in the
heavyweight class when Ja-
lylen Paige topped Beach’s
Chris Benhur 5-0.
Against St. Rose the Garnet
Gulls picked up a 72-0 victo-
ry, winning by pin or forfeit
in every bout that was wres-
tled. The 120- and 126-pound
bouts were forfeited by both
teams, which meant no
points were awarded for
those weight classes.
Point Beach won the 220-,
285-, 106-, 113-, 145-, 152-, 160-
and 170-pound bouts by pin
for 48 team points. The re-
maining 24 points came from
St. Rose forfeits in the 195-,
132-, 138- and 182-pound
weight classes.
Tomorrow the Garnet
Gulls host a quad-match with
David Brearley, Donovan
Catholic and Manasquan,
which is scheduled to start at
10 a.m. As of press time the
match is tentative and subject
to change.
Point Beach’s next dual
meet is on Monday when
they travel to take on Red
Bank Regional High School.
That match is scheduled to
begin at 4 p.m.

At first glance Point
Boro’s Natalie Dikun ap-
pears quiet, but put her in
the middle of a track and
field meet and she’s the one
cheering on the rest of the
team.
On Wednesday, the sen-
ior was the one receiving
cheers and praise after tak-
ing first place in the pole
vault at the Ocean County
Championships in Toms
River. Dikun cleared 9-06
and won on jumps.
“She’s just been so dedi-
cated, so consistent. She
doesn’t miss a day. She’s
healthier than she’s been in
awhile,” said head coach
Billy Kostenko.
In her four years pole
vaulting Dikun has put up
with knee issues but this
year she is on the mend and
stronger than ever.
“This year I’m actually
starting to feel good in my
knees, less problems,” she
explained. “I’m hoping to
jump 10-00, 10-06. Just get
better each week.”
Now, the best part about
Dikun does not lie in her
success in the pole vault but
in her ability to be a good
example for the underclass-
men and Boro’s newest pole
vaulter, Riley Larsen.
“She’s a great teacher to
the young pole vaulter that
she’s training with and just
such a great teammate and
a great example for every-
one else,” stated Kostenko.
Larsen, a freshman, also
learned a lot from Dikun in
the gymnastics season and
was persuaded to come out
for the indoor track season.
“It’s been exciting. It’s ba-
sically like watching my-
self,” said Dikun with a
smile. “She’s been working
hard and I’ve been trying to
help her with any tips I
have.”
Dikun is not only excited
for the young talent in
Larsen but also for the
young talent the rest of the
team has this year.
“It’s been exciting. This
year we have a lot of fresh-
men too, which is awesome
and the people that are
higher up [seniors] help so
it’s nice to see it trickle
down,” she said. “It’s really
nice and I can’t wait for the
rest of the season.”
Dikun has the rest of the
winter and spring seasons
to hit some goals she has set
for herself.
“I definitely want to make
it to the Meet of Champs in-
doors and outdoors. That’s
definitely a goal and hope-
fully place,” she explained.
“Just keep doing my best,
beating my PR each meet
and hopefully beating the
school record.”
10-06 is the indoor school
record and Dikun is right on
the verge of hitting that
mark this season.

POINT BEACH 47 GIRLS BASKETBALL RANNEY 13
Point Beach routs Ranney for first win of the season
BY DOMINCK POLLIO
THEOCEANSTAR
POINT BEACH — Tuesday
proved to be a day of firsts as
the Garnet Gulls girls basket-
ball team earned its first win
of the winter season and gave
head coach Jay Lagomarsino
his first win with the team.
‘“We’re just trying to com-
pete,” Lagomarsino said after
his team defeated Ranney 47-
13. “It’s a classroom and we’re
trying to learn to be good
teammates and we’re trying to
collectively compete against
the other team.”
While the Point Beach gym-
nasium was not packed with
fans, it was still loud with
cheers, especially after the
Gulls jumped out to a 19-0 lead
by the end of the first quarter.
The offense, which was led
by senior Erinne Regan and
freshman McKayla Hughes,
did a good job of distributing
the ball. This led to eight dif-
ferent Garnet Gulls scoring
throughout the contest.
In the second quarter Beach
did fall a bit flat offensively but
the defense stayed strong, only
giving up five points. Regan
scored Beach’s only points that
quarter with a late 3-pointer.
At halftime the Garnet Gulls
were up 22-5.
The girls put together an-
other strong quarter in the
third with 15 points. Regan and
Hughes showed a solid com-
mand of the game, pushing the
pace after turnovers and find-
ing open players all over the
court.
“McKayla and Erin both see
the ball well and they’re very
good teammates. They really
want to excel as far as share
with their teammates,” stated
Lagomarsino. “That’s why
everything gelled tonight.
They were looking out for
their teammates so that opens
up the floor for everyone else.”
Players like Madelyn House,
a freshman, and Cameron
Barnes, a senior, capitalized on
offensive possessions and each
contributed eight points in the
win. They both found the bas-
ket in the final quarter when
the team piled on another 10
points.
Regan finished the contest
with a game-high 12 points,
which included two 3-point-
ers.
In the end, it was the Garnet
Gull defense that truly shined,
keeping the Ranney offense
out of double digits until the
closing minutes of the fourth
quarter.
“They did a nice job of play-
ing defense today because
that’s part of us being compet-
itive,” said Lagomarsino. “It
was pretty good today. We’ll
just keep working on it.”
“Offensively the team only
had one down quarter but
Lagomarsino attributes the lull
to the team still finding their
chemistry and players work-
ing on new positions.
“Tonight we had a few peo-
ple trying to learn new posi-
tions so that’s on me. We’re
still trying to get comfortable,”
he explained. “Offense is all
about rhythm and timing and
we’re still trying to get com-
fortable and that’s a big part of
it.”
Some thought the first win
of the season would come lat-
er on down the road but this
early victory serves as a confi-
dence and morale boost for
the team. They have a con-
stant desire to improve, which
will be the key to continued
success for the season.
“They’ve been wonderful.
They listen and they’ve all
been wonderful. I’m just living
the dream here hanging out at
the beach,” Lagomarsino said
with a smile.

commanding win search the

On Thursday the girls went
up against Keyport at home
but the game occurred too late
for today’s Ocean Star. Check

RANNEY 42 BOYS BASKETBALL POINT BEACH 40
Gulls unable to fend off fourth quarter rally
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THEOCEANSTAR
POINT BEACH — The Point
Beach boys basketball team fell
a couple of foul shots shy of a
statement win against unde-
feated Ranney on Tuesday.
The visiting Gulls led the en-
tire game but fell victim to
Ranney’s phenomenal fresh-
men in the closing minutes,
losing, 42-40.
Point Beach started the
game on track with a 13-10 first
quarter lead. They further ex-
tended that lead heading into
the half up 24-19.
The Garnet Gulls defense
had done a standup job on
Ranney’s Bryan Antoine and
Scottie Lewis in the first half.
Jimmy Panzini, who covered
Lewis, and Frauenheim, who
covered Antoine, held the lead-
ing scorers to a combined six
points.
In the third quarter both
squads added seven points to
their total leaving Beach with a
five-point lead at the start of
the final quarter. The Gulls led
by as much as seven points be-
fore the Ranney rally began.
While Antoine and Lewis had
been subdued in the first three
quarters, it was fellow fresh-
man Chris Autino who
dropped 14 points to keep the
game within reach for Ranney.
In the fourth quarter An-
toine and Lewis were able to
break out and really contribute
to the game. Beach struggled to
keep a lead as Ranney battled
their deficit eventually coming
within a point of the Gulls, 38-
37.
Lewis was then sent to the
line and hit both shots from the
charity stripe to take a one-
point lead with 43 seconds left
to play. 15 seconds later it was
Frauenheim at the foul line for
Beach and he drained his two
shots to retake the lead, 40-39.
In a game that came down to
foul shots, it was Antoine that
went back to the line for Ran-
ney and provided another lead
change on two made shots.
Down 41-40 Beach had one
last opportunity at the charity
stripe but Panzini was unable
to tie or take the lead, missing
both of his opportunities from
the free throw line.
Antoine made one more
foul shot for a 42-40 lead leav-
ing Beach with one long des-
perate heave at the buzzer that
fell well short of the basket.
The Gulls had a victory slip
away and Ranney moved to 6-
0 with the 42-40 victory.
Despite the strong defense
from the Gulls, Ranney’s fresh-
men four combined for 39
points in the win. Autino led
the way with 14 points while
Antoine chipped in 12 and
Lewis finished with 10.
Beach’s Alex Mrusek fin-
ished the contest with a game-
high 15 points and Trevor Cov-
ey added 12.
Point Beach played Keyport
on the road yesterday but the
game occurred too late for to-
day’s paper. The Gulls are back
in action tomorrow against
Manasquan. The game is away
and tipoff is set for 3:20 p.m.

POINTBORO — The Point Boro
girls basketball team knew
Tuesday’s game with Manches-
ter Township would be a tough
division contest. What made it
even more of a challenge was
the fact it was on the road after
a five-day holiday break.
In the end, the Panthers put
up a fight but could not over-
come a 10-point first-quarter
deficit, losing the game 58-46.
Manchester Township went
up early, with 18 points in the
first quarter. Boro was still
shaking off the holiday break
rust and only managed eight
points.
The trend continued in the
second quarter when the Pan-
thers added 10 points to their
total while Manchester mus-
tered 20 points. By halftime
Point Boro was in a 20-point
hole.
The Boro defense settled
into the game out of the half
while the offense caught some
momentum. The Panthers
dropped 21 points and held
Manchester to 11 to cut the
deficit back down to 10 points.
The fourth quarter was low
scoring, with neither team
breaking into double digits.
The problem was that for every
score Point Boro had, Man-
chester also had a score. The
Hawks narrowly outscored
Boro 9-7 in the final quarter to
take the overall victory 58-46.
The Panthers had big games
from Jamie Morris and Megan
Hughes. Morris had a team-
high 17 points with five re-
bounds and an assist. Hughes
chipped in 12 as well as four as-
sists and three steals and re-
bounds.
On the other side of the
court Manchester had two sep-
arate players drop 20 points.
Anissia Fucci and Lyric Green
each finished with 20 points
scored. Green also snagged 12
steals, twice as many as Boro
picked off as a team.
Yesterday the team hosted
Jackson Liberty but the game
occurred too late for today’s pa-
per. The girls team will be back
on the court Tuesday when
they travel to take on Barnegat
High School. Tipoff is set for
6:30 p.m.

did that. I know there are no
moral victories but I’d like to
think I can take some posi-
tives away from that.”
Manchester began the
game with a 6-0 run that was
quickly nullified by 3-point-
ers from Matt VanNostrand
and Venturi. The two teams
battled it out before the Pan-
thers took a 19-18 lead at the
end of the first quarter.
The second quarter contin-
ued the back-and-forth affair
but the Panthers fell victim to
error as the half came to a
close.
“We got ourselves in a
hole. We got down 10,” said
Hynes. “We made some silly
mistakes at the end of the
second quarter that they cap-
italized on.”
Untimely passes, mishan-
dling of the ball and forcing
shots put the Panthers be-
hind by 10 points at halftime.
Boro also worked around a
period of time where Van-
Nostrand sat on the bench
due to early foul trouble but
he was back in the game to-
wards the close of the second
quarter.
The third quarter did not
prove any more fruitful than
the second and the Panthers
were fighting an uphill battle.
The team secured a few
steals but those plays result-
ed in missed shots or layups
blocked by Manchester’s de-
fense, which kept stride with
Boro the entire night.
It seemed every time the
Panthers found the net the
Hawks found it soon after, re-
sulting in a 46-36 score at the
end of the third quarter.
In the fourth and final
quarter the Panthers strug-
gled to start but eventually
began speeding up the game.
VanNostrand’s visible efforts
contributed to more than one
Boro turnover that led to
points.
Unfortunately, Boro’s press
defense still left lanes open
for Manchester and they
pushed their lead to 12 on a
layup from Shavar Reynolds
with less than two minutes
left in the game.
On the following inbounds
it all changed.
VanNostrand took the ball
up the court and dished a
pass to Venturi in the corner
who launched a nothing-but-
net three pointer to put Boro
within nine.
With 1:30 left on the clock,
the Hawks inbounded the
ball and Boro’s Mike Licchio
nabbed a steal. He went up
for the layup and was fouled.
Licchio made both free
throws, lessening the Panther
deficit, 60-53.
Manchester then missed
three attempts at the charity
stripe before Venturi
launched a deep three. The
shot was off target and head-
ing out of play when Licchio
made a leaping save-and-
throw back into play.
Venturi snagged the ball
and dropped in a mid-range
shot to bring the Panthers
within five. The Hawks hit
one free throw to push the
score to 61-55 but it was Ven-
turi who answered with a 3-
pointer to make it a one score
game with 24 seconds on the
clock.
Again Manchester man-
aged to hit one-of-two foul
shots and Venturi looked to
hit another three. This time
he was fouled on the shot and
hit all of his free throws and
what used to be a 12-point
Manchester lead was cut
down to 62-61.
Point Boro then fouled
Manchester’s LJ Robinson on
the inbounds and he hit both
foul shots for a 3-point lead.
Venturi took the ball for
Boro on the next pass in-
bounds and went down the
court to the corner and put
up a jumper from beyond the
arc with four hands in his
face. The ball dropped
through the hoop touching
nothing but net and the gym-
nasium erupted in cheers
with every Boro fan on their
feet. Regulation ended with
the Panthers and the Hawks
tied at 64.
The four-minute overtime
began slow as the only point
scored was a foul shot from
Manchester. They hit a layup
before Venturi fed John Duda
a slick pass in the lane that he
put in the net for a Boro
score.
With the score at 67-66,
Duda secured a steal and
passed the ball up court to
Venturi. He spun around a
defender and put up a left-
handed layup that bounced
on the rim three times before
dropping in. The Panthers
had a one-point lead.
Reynolds answered with a
Manchester layup to retake
the lead, 68-67.
Again it was Venturi who
split two defenders and
dropped in the layup to give
the Panthers a one-point lead
with eight seconds left in the
game.
Manchester had the in-
bounds on their half of the
court and passed it in to
Reynolds. He drove left
through three Boro defenders
and put up a left-handed
layup that spun off the glass
and into the basket. As the
clock continued to run Boro
quickly inbounded the ball
but they could not beat the
clock and the buzzer sound-
ed, ending the game with
Manchester on top 71-70.
It was a tough loss for the
Panthers, especially at home,
but it gives Hynes and the
team confidence moving for-
ward with the season.
“We learned a little some-
thing about ourselves,” said
Hynes. “We’re not going to
give up, we’re going to con-
stantly complete, constantly
play.”
Boro will also be sure to
not give away early fouls as
they came back to bite them
at the end of Monday’s game.
VanNostrand and Jack Wad-
dleton both fouled out to-
wards the end of the game
and both played huge roles in
keeping the Panthers in the
game.
“We had our 6’5 guy on the
bench and our best arm ball
defender on the bench. But
that’s part of basketball – next
man up. Guys are going to
have to step in and fill roles,”
stated Hynes. “Hopefully we
learn from this and we can
draw on this sometime down
the road in another game
when we’re in a similar situa-
tion and we can make some-
thing happen.”
At the end of the night,
Venturi would be the Panther
who walked away with the
most renewed confidence.
He finished the contest with
a game-high 30 points with 21
of those points coming from
3-point land. He also shot a
perfect 3-for-3 from the foul
line when it counted most.
“He’s starting to grow up.
He’s starting to understand
how good he can be,” said
Hynes on Venturi. “That was
impressive. He made a lot of
tough shots at the end. We
just didn’t make a stop.”
On Thursday Point Boro
played Jackson Liberty but
the game occurred too late
for today’s paper. Check back
next week for full coverage.
They will be back in action
tomorrow against Howell.
The game is at home and
tipoff is scheduled for 11 a.m.

which obviously isn’t an easy
feat in our conference,” said
head coach Mike Colonna.
Vail-Stein placed first over-
all clearing 11-06 and Moran’s
personal best of 9-06 gave
them the first place finish and
placed them one foot shy of
the school record.
The boys team also found
success on the track.
“In the distance medley
they were about eight seconds
away from a school record,”
stated Colonna. “They took
third in Ocean County, which
is about where we expected
them to finish.”
The team of Devin Hart,
Alex Stupar, Ian Knapp and
Dylan Peters ran the medley
[11:19.5] after adjusting for run-
ners that were not available
that day.
“We had a couple guys who
weren’t available that day who
typically would have put us in
a better position. Given the ad-
justments we made the guys
ran great,” praised Colonna.
“As the season goes on they’ll
definitely improve, no doubt.”
On Wednesday the team
was back inside the “bubble”
with the rest of Ocean County
competing in the Ocean Coun-
ty Championships. There the
boys found continued success
in a variety of events.
In the pole vault Vail-Stein
cleared 11-06 and beat out
Jackson Memorial’s Kyle Whe-
lan for second place on jumps.
Brick’s Steven Nguyen took
first place after clearing 12-00.
In the 1600-meter run the
Panthers had two runners
place. Hart took fourth
[4:35.05] and Peters secured
sixth [4:36.02].
“Devin Hart, as a freshman,
had a fourth place finish in
Ocean County, which was
pretty impressive. Dylan end-
ed up holding on for a sixth
place finish so between those
two guys they had a great day
– a lot to be proud for,” said
Colonna. “The sky is the limit
for those guys. They should be
fun to watch this season.”
In the high jump event
Haines surpassed Saturday’s
success clearing 5-08 for a
winter personal best.
“We’re trying a few new
things with Tyler this season.
With that said he had a phe-
nomenal day based on the fact
this is his second day really
jumping on the season and it
came in a meet situation,” ex-
plained Colonna. “He had an
opportunity to jump his best
and that’s a lot we can build
upon and continue to hopeful-
ly carry on that success the
rest of the way.”
Jack Ehrhardt did not com-
pete in the high jump but
Colonna is excited for when
him and Haines compete at
the state relays.
“He should be back for high
jump and between him and
Tyler we hope to have lots of
success for Group II and we’re
happy to get him back in the
high jump,” he said.
Ehrhardt was instead run-
ning sprints for Boro, just
missing out on the finals for
the 55-meter dash. He ran the
first leg of the 4x400-meter re-
lay where the Panthers fin-
ished seventh [3:42.86].
“He’s been working through
the sprints this year,” stated
Colonna about Ehrhardt. “The
sprints are new to him so you
see progress every single time
he steps on the track because
he’s starting to figure it out.”
Other notable finishes for
Boro were Stupar with a ninth
place finish in the 400-meter
dash [54.68] and Kyle Stencel
who just missed the finals for
the 55-meter hurdles with an
11th place finish [8.67].
The team will continue
training hard in the coming
weeks as they prepare for the
state relays and the Shore
Conference Tournament.

plained Boro head coach Pat
Brady. “He knew what he had
to do and he went out and got
the job done.”
Tweedie lost by technical
fall, 21-6, which left the match
tied at 30. Since Point Boro
secured three pins during the
match to Ocean’s two, they
took the match on criteria 31-
30.
“That was a good match for
our guys. We were wrestling
a very good team and every-
body had to go out and do
their job,” said Brady. “That’s
what we did.”
The Panthers’ job did not
stop there and they traveled
to Manasquan High School
Saturday morning for a tri-
match with Manasquan and
Shore Regional.
Tri-matches can make for a
difficult day, trying to put a
strong lineup forward for
both dual meets.
“You set your lineup to one
of the teams and then you
have to wrestle tough
through both dual meets,”
said Brady. “You have to stay
up every match and the guys
have to stay behind each oth-
er and be prepared to wres-
tle.”
The Panthers were specta-
tors while Shore Regional
topped Manasquan 62-13 be-
fore they got the opportunity
to go up against the Blue
Devils.
Boro took care of Shore 53-
13, partaking in a handful of
exciting matches along the
way.
In the 106-pound bout Sabo
was able to escape a cradle
and pin in the second round
to eventually win by techni-
cal fall, 15-0. Youmans put up
a long fight in the 145-pound
weight class against Alex
Johnson, which was delayed
due to blood from Youmans.
Johnson ended up winning
the bout by decision, 7-1.
The most exhilarating bout
of the day was the final one
of the match between Boro’s
Ryan Sansone and Shore’s
Michael Rosati [182].
Rosati scored two points
on a takedown and was con-
trolling Sansone in the first
round. With 26 seconds left
Sansone managed to escape
Rosati to end the round down
one point.
Sansone started the next
period on his knees and it
took him 28 seconds before
he managed to escape
Rosati’s hold. With the bout
tied, Rosati managed another
takedown, which Sansone
quickly escaped. He was be-
hind to start the third period
4-3.
In the final period of the
bout Sansone was not giving
up any ground but neither
was Rosati. Then in the final
25 seconds the match met an
exciting finish. Rosati had
Sansone on the ground trying
to keep him from tying the
bout with an escape. Sansone
managed to muscle his way
up to a standing position,
pick up Rosati and take him
down to the mat. But a rever-
sal and a takedown was not
enough for the Panther.
He managed to pin Rosati’s
back to the mat and with 18
seconds left the ref blew the
whistle and called the pin.
Boro’s bench was on its feet,
wrestlers and coaches jump-
ing up in unison at the ref’s
whistle and Sansone’s victo-
ry.
“It’s nice to see him come
through in the end there,”
said Brady at the end of the
tri-match. “He fought for six
minutes and was able to
come through with a pin.”
Sansone’s pin, in addition
to the rest of the team’s suc-
cess, points to the hard work
they put in during practice.
Brady was happy to recog-
nize how well Sansone’s bat-
tle in that bout represents
what Point Boro wrestling is
all about.
“We’re in the wrestling
room together working hard
and we see how hard he
works everyday,” he said. “He
worked for that win, really,
through practice and hard
work and he was able to
come through. He kept his
head in the match and did
what he had to do.”
Their preparation and ded-
ication was further enforced
in the following match
against Manasquan. The Pan-
thers made easy work of the
Warriors, only seceding one
bout to take the win, 76-3.
Point Boro secured pins in
12 of the 14 bouts. The only
bout the Panthers lost was
the 152-pound weight class
when Manasquan’s Francis
Faasen beat Boro’s DJ Rivera
by a 9-3 decision.
The only non-pin victory
for Boro was Cory DeFeo’s
14-1 major decision-win over
Manasquan’s Luke Hessinger
in the 160-pound bout.
At the end of the day the
Boro team and coaches were
all smiles and Brady was hap-
py to come away with two
victories.
“It’s fun,” he said. “It’s a
good day when you can win
two matches.”
The Panthers were back on
the mats on Wednesday
against Lakewood.
They decisively took the
win 66-6 with pins in 7-of-
the-14 bouts.
The Panthers are back in
action tomorrow in a tri-
match against Manchester
Township and Marlboro. The
match is at Manchester and
scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

school record for certain re-
lays,” explained Kostenko.
“I’m excited and I think the
girls are really excited and
that’s what’s most important.”
The girls’ success in the re-
lays carried over to Wednes-
day’s championship meet. In
the 4x400 the team of Jarol-
men, Gaven, Leturgez and
Zabelski took second with a
time of 4:17.36.
The Panthers success did
not stop there as a bunch of
girls earned top-place finishes
in individual events.
“That’s what I say about the
relays is we have additional
runners that have come out,”
stated Kostenko. “Summer
moved in. Jess is a freshman. It
makes the relays stronger but
you can see it in their individ-
ual performances today.”
Bragen placed second in the
mile, only two seconds behind
Elizabeth Chartier of South-
ern Regional in first. She also
took second place in the 3200-
meter run with a time of
11:32.89.
In the sprints Gaven placed
seventh overall [7.72] in the 55-
meter dash and Jarolmen just
missed the finals for the 55-
meter hurdles, placing 11th
with a time of 9.59.
In the 800-meter run
Danielle Tsougarakis took
sixth place for Boro with a
time of 2:27.96.
“I’m just excited for them.
They’re working hard,” said
Kostenko. “It raises their level
of expectation. It just gives
them confidence and helps
them figure out where they fit
in.”
The Panthers found even
more success off the track in
the field events.
Senior Natalie Dikun took
first place overall in the pole
vault event clearing 9-06.
Dikun won on jumps after tak-
ing second place at the relays
on jumps.
“I was thinking about really
working on making sure every
jump counted,” said Dikun.
“Today I was really thinking
about doing my best, that’s
what I did and it paid off.”
Dikun won first place last
year at the county champi-
onships and is content with
this year’s success but hopes
to improve in the coming
meets.
“It was very exciting. I was
hoping to get 10-00 but hope-
fully next meet,” she ex-
plained. “It’s been my goal
since I was first place last year
so I’m just trying to maintain
it.”
In the girls high jump com-
petition Point Boro took first
and second place.
Leturgez cleared 5-02 on
her first attempt for first place
while Zabelski cleared 5-00
for second place.
The Panthers put forth a lot
of strong finishes Wednesday
and Kostenko is doing his best
not to get ahead of himself
with much of the season left.
“It is early and you don’t
want to get too excited but it’s
really about how they feel
about themselves. They’re just
feeling good about who they
are and their chance to do
other things,” he said. “As a
coach that’s just always neat to
watch – to have that kind of
development. It’s exciting.”
The team will go back to
training as they prepare for
the state relays and another
chance to break some school
records.
Bragen takes second in mile, 3200

Megan Zabelski works her way over the bar at Saturday’s Ocean County Relays. Zabelski took second
place at the Ocean County Championships on Wednesday, clearing 5-00.

Last week I said as 2015
comes to an end, boat and
surf anglers can still keep on
fishing for striped bass if they
like as water temperatures
are in the low 50 degree
ranges. Well I can say the
same for the start of 2016. In
fact some incredible big bass
and big blues were caught be-
tween Christmas and New
Year’s. On Monday Decem-
ber 28th one of the most in-
credible big bass blitzes took
place in Ocean County from
Mantoloking down to IBSP.
Big bass in the 30-40 lb range
were caught by surf anglers.
Outdoor writer and fisher-
man Nick Honachefsky post-
ed on Facebook a bass in ex-
cess of 50 lbs that he caught
and released while casting an
Ava jig with a Tsunamis
sandeel teaser. There was
also another blitz of bass on
the beach with bass in the 20-
30 lb range on January 2 in
the afternoon from Point
Pleasant to Bay Head. This
past Sunday there was great
action off of IBSP with tons
of bird action to go with it.
There is still a tremendous
amount of herring present in
the water which is at 48 de-
grees at this time, so if the
weather cooperates this
weekend it should produce
more fish for those who want
to give it a try.
The blackfish bite was also
very good over the holiday
weekend with nice catches
made with tog to 14 lbs at
some locations. Many boaters
fishing the inshore pieces
had their limits. Further off-
shore cod and pollock are be-
ing caught. Party boats have
regular schedules heading
offshore in January.
Keep in mind the following
marine fishing regulations
that are changing. Winter
flounder and black sea bass
closed December 31, stripe
bass closed in all backbay wa-
ters on the same date until
March 1. There is no closed
season for striped bass 0-3
miles from shore out in the
ocean, beyond 3 miles ocean
waters are closed to striped
bass.
Blackfish changes from 6
fish daily to 4 fish daily start-
ing January 1 to February 28
measuring at least 15 inches.
A New NJ Law has gone
into effect with the New Year
creating freshwater fishing
buddy licenses. This law cre-
ates a fishing buddy license
to encourage more recre-
ational fishing. It offers half-
price licenses to people 16
and older who purchase their
license in conjunction with
someone purchasing their
first NJ fishing license since
2010.
Legendary tuna captain
Robert Pisano, 83, of Neptune
City passed away on New
Year’s Eve. Pisano was well
known in the industry for his
ground-breaking giant
bluefin tuna catches. During
his career, Pisano and his
crew landed 4 NJ state record
giant bluefin tuna. The
largest, 1030 lbs caught in
September, 1981 is a record
that still stands. He is credit-
ed with boating upwards of
800 giants in his career. Visi-
tation will be on Saturday,
January 9 at the O'Brien Fu-
neral Home, 2028 Hwy 35
New Bedford Rd., Wall start-
ing 2 pm until the time of the
Memorial Service at 4 pm.
All saltwater anglers must
register with the NJ Saltwater
Recreational Registry Pro-
gram prior to fishing in 2016.
Anglers who registered in
2015 are reminded that regis-
trations expire at the end of
each calendar year and must
be renewed annually. The
registration is free and can
only be done online at
www.saltwaterregistry.nj.gov.
The 33rd Annual Garden
State Outdoor Sports Show
will be held January 7–10 at
the New Jersey Convention
and Exposition Center in
Raritan. Show hours are
Thursday & Friday 1 pm-8
pm, Saturday 10 am - 8 pm,
Sunday 10 am-5 pm.
Bob over at Fishermen’s
Den in Belmar came in with
several reports. For the big
blitz on December 28th he
wrote, “Stripers and blues on
the beach in lower Ocean
County at the present time
with fish to 20 lbs being
caught. Some callers de-
scribe it as the best late sea-
son bight they ever saw. It
ain't over till it’s over.” Then
later in the week Bob wrote,
“2015 a year with up and
downs, spring bass season
was good in the boats but
slow in the surf. Fluke season
was fair but size limit held
the catch down. Sea bass was
a tough one with the split
seasons. Bluefish were
among the missing most of
the summer only to show up
in big size and numbers in
the fall. The offshore fleet
had a super tuna bite, bigeye,
yellowfin and longfin were
being brought back to the
scales in good numbers. The
warm weather has kept the
water temperatures high
right into the new year. This
has kept the big bass and
blues feeding in our surf.
This last week we have seen
some very large bass taken. I
have fished for stripers for
over 50 years and have never
seen this size fish taken in
the surf this late in the year.
The black fishing has also
been red hot on the inshore
grounds with limit catches of
fish some up to 14 lbs. The
winter flounder fishing has
been the best in many years.
The regulars had their 2 fish
limits nearly every day.
Fishermen Den North in
the Atlantic Highlands mari-
na this spring will be open-
ing. We will offer all the
same services in both loca-
tions, stop by. Happy New
Year.”
And Bob’s report from the
other day, “Summer is over
deep freeze coming so get
out and fish while you can
still feel your fingers. Black
fishing was great this past
weekend. The largest fish we
saw was 14 lbs with many
limits were taken. The limit
now is four fish. Stripers are
still invading our beaches to
the south so get your buts in
gear before they say good
bye, see you in the spring.”
Capt Howard Bogan of the
Big Jamaica out of Brielle re-
ports, “New trips added for
January 2016. Offshore fish-
ing has been good. We are
adding several limited Mid-
range Cod Specials to our
schedule for January. We will
be fishing for cod, pollock
and jumbo porgies. The trips
sail at 4 am Saturday January
9, 16, 23. The fare is $100 and
the trips are limited. 1 am cod
specials will begin January
30th and run every Saturday
