POINT PLEASANT BEACH — The
Garnet Gulls clinched a share
of the B Central title after
beating the Henry Hudson
Admirals at home, 65-37.
It was a balanced scoring
effort by Point Beach with
seniors Jesse Hill and Ryan
Sheehan leading the way
with 12 points apiece. Trevor
Covey and Mike Rice added
to that total with 11 points
apiece.
This marks the third sea-
son in a row that Point Beach
sits atop the B Central divi-
sion.
The Gulls then traveled to
take on A South champions
Toms River North Mariners
on Saturday in a non-divi-
sional Valentine’s Day
matchup.
Point Beach took the deci-
sive victory 72-57 in a game

POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH —
The Panthers remain unde-
feated on their home court in
the regular season as they
beat Pinelands Regional last
Friday by a score of 46-34.
It looked to be a rough
game for both teams with the
first quarter ending 2-1 in
favor of the Wildcats.
The Panthers quickly
remedied this, as they put up
21 points in the second quar-
ter. Pinelands only managed
to add six to its total before
halftime.
Heading into the third
quarter, Point Boro was up
22-8 and kept the momentum
through the third.
They put up 19 points to
the Wildcats’ 10, keeping a 41-
18 lead with one quarter of
play remaining.
The fourth quarter was all
Pinelands as they did their
best to mount a comeback
outscoring Point Boro 16-5.
Unfortunately it was not
enough for the Wildcats to
get a win as they Panthers de-
fended their home court for
the seventh time this season.
Leading the pack for Point
Boro was Brianna Skinner

WALL — After an impres-
sive upset win over South-
ern in the first round of the
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment [SCT], the Panthers
went on to face third-seeded
St. John Vianney last Friday
at the Jersey Shore Arena in
Wall.
Point Boro was shut out 3-
0 in the quarterfinal
matchup.
The first period was tight
until Matt Kidney of Vian-
ney netted a goal with help
from teammates Pat Hemley
and James O’Keefe.
The Panthers entered the
second period only down
one goal. They continued to
skate hard and played
strong defense, but they
were unable to get a score
offensively.
The second period ended
with neither team adding to
their total.
The third period began
and Point Boro could not
keep the Lancers at bay.
With 12 and one-half min-
utes left in the game, Joe
Murray scored a goal, in-
creasing the Lancer lead to
two.
Three minutes later, O’-
Keefe was back, this time
with a goal of his own.
Try as they must, the Pan-
thers could not find the
back of the net as time ex-
pired.
In goal for Point Boro was
Chris Belman, who finished
the night with 32 saves in a
tough loss.
“It was a very good game
in general and really back
and forth,” said Boro coach
Alex DePalma.
The Panthers had
opportunities throughout
but could not seem to capi-
talize on power plays.
DePalma attributes the
loss to a lack of a team ef-
fort, saying, “St. John Vian-
ney played very well and I
personally thought we
played better against South-
ern. The Southern Regional
victory was a team win and
if we gave a team effort
against St. John Vianney we
could have come up with a
win.”
BORO VS. HOPEWELL VALLEY
The Panthers also faced
Hopewell Valley at the
Ocean Ice Palace on
Wednesday.
They came out on top
over the Bulldogs 3-1 in a
game that saw a lot of big
hits from both teams.
The first period ended
tied at 0, though Hopewell

What is the fastest growing
sport in the nation?
Boys lacrosse in Point
Pleasant Boro!
With an objective to intro-
duce the game of lacrosse
and its skills to the future
players of Point Boro high
school, Boro head coach Guy
Lassen is running a lacrosse
clinic.
The clinic is for both expe-
rienced and nonexperienced
players. The clinic will teach
the rules of the game and
fundamentals necessary to
play this fast and dynamic
sport.
Scrimmages will also take
place as each player acquires
the skills needed to compete.
The clinic dates are Satur-
day April 11th 5:30-7 p.m.
through June 20 and Sunday,
April 12, 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m.
though June 21.

good teams that play hard.”
Play hard they most cer-
tainly did, as the game was
fast paced from start to finish
with neither team slowing
down.
Point Beach jumped out to
a 19-11 point lead after the
first quarter. Eight of those
points came from Hill, find-
ing his three-point stroke ear-
ly.
Before the half, the Gulls
piled on another 22 points
while the Mariners only man-
aged 14.
With the score 41-25 at the
start of the third quarter, the
Garnet Gulls continued play-
ing hard as Toms River North
did their best to keep up.
Point Beach outscored the
Mariners 13-9 in the third and
went into the fourth with a
comfortable 54-34 lead.
The Mariners found their
stride in the final quarter,
putting up 23 points. Point
Beach never stopped scoring
though, as they added 18
more and secured the win 72-
57.
“We’ve had a lot of guys
hurt; we’ve had some new
guys and we’re starting to
come together as a team right
now,” said Catania after the
win. “We’re hitting our stride
and we’re right where we
want to be.”
The Toms River North
Mariners are one of the top
teams in the Shore and beat-
ing them from the first quar-
ter to the last says a lot about
the Gulls as a team.
“It feels good, they’re one
of the top teams in the Shore
right now. We know we’re
one of the top teams even
though we’ve had some
tough losses,” said Hill. “We
just wanted to show that we
can play with anybody and
that we’re here to stay.”
Hill led the Gulls with 27
total points, with 12 of them
coming from beyond the arc.
Jimmy Panzini, who is back
after suffering an ankle in-
jury, dropped in 13 points
while freshman Danny
Frauenheim finished with 11.
Leading the Mariners’ ef-
fort was senior Jordan Craig,
who finished the loss with 15
points.
SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT
In the first round of the
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment [SCT], the Gulls, seed-
ed at 15, took on 18th-seeded
Matawan at home Wednes-
day night.
In an effort to defend their
SCT title from last year,
Point Beach defeated the
Huskies 59-54.
It was a close game
throughout, but the Gulls
played like a championship
team to eliminate Matawan
from the tournament for the
second year in a row.
Leading the way for Point
Beach was Panzini, who fin-
ished the night with 20
points. Hill added 19 points,
including a slam dunk with
17 seconds left in the game to
seal the win.
Point Beach then traveled
to Lakewood to face the sec-
ond-seeded Piners Thursday
night in a game that oc-
curred too late for this edi-
tion of The Ocean Star. Be
sure to check out next
week’s issue for full cover-
age.
Last time the Gulls played
Lakewood, they lost on a
buzzer-beating three in the
regular season.

four steals and two assists
and steals. Senior Lindsey
Havens added 11 points of her
own, as well as a team-high
seven steals.
On the other side of the
ball, Bailey Kidd of Pinelands
finished with 13 points in the
loss.
As a team, the Panthers to-
taled 26 rebounds, 18 steals, 13
assists and nine blocks.
SHORE CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT
Seeded at 13, the Panthers
hosted the 20-seeded Mater
Dei Seraphs Wednesday night
in the first round of the Shore
Conference Tournament
[SCT].
The Panthers took the vic-
tory 74-55 in a game that was
not as easily won.
“Mater Dei is a very good
team, we knew it would be a
tough game and I think it
was,” said Boro coach David
Drew after the game. “A lot of
credit to them [Mater Dei]
and to our girls for prevailing.”
The first quarter was noth-
ing short of intense and
looked to end with a 14-12
Point Boro lead. But with 4.6
seconds left to go, Panther
Amye Zalesky took a charge
from Brooke Trotta of Mater
Dei. The Panthers inbounded
the ball as Havens made her
way two feet shy of the three-
point line and put up a shot at
the buzzer.
The ball stayed true, noth-
ing but net as the quarter
came to a close with Point
Boro on top 17-12.
In the second quarter, the
Panthers began work on in-
creasing their lead.
With six minutes left in the
half, the Seraphs found them-
selves in foul trouble, award-
ing Point Boro shots from the
charity stripe.
The Seraphs never stopped
playing hard but every time
they got close to getting hot,
the Panthers found a way to
slow their momentum.
At the 1:12 mark, Megan
Hughes of Point Boro was
blocked in an attempted
layup.
Speaking volumes to the
perseverance all the Panthers
play with, Hughes grabbed
her own rebound through two
Seraph defenders. She then
put up a shot with her back to
the basket, scoring another
two points for Point Boro.
The Panthers closed out the
first half with a 36-26 lead.
Point Boro continued their
scoring into the third quarter
as the Seraphs struggled to
keep up as a team.
The Seraphs found some
extra energy in the fourth
quarter, with strong offensive
play coming from Trotta and
Katie Viscardi. Unfortunately
it was not enough to over-
come the dominant Panther
lead.
The final whistle blew and
Point Boro came out on top
74-55.
Last year, the Panthers lost
in their first game of the SCT
so the win comes as a great
accomplishment.
“We did not win our first
game last year and that’s
something that was definitely
on of our goals,” said Drew.
“We wanted to come out and
win tonight.”
Leading the team in the win
were Hughes and Havens who
both tallied up 24 points.
Hughes finished with five
rebounds, three steals, and
two assists while Havens
added seven assists, six re-
bounds, and one steal to her
totals.
The Panthers then traveled
to take on fourth-seeded
Rumson-Fair Haven Thurs-
day night.
The game took place too
late for this issue of The
Ocean Star. For full coverage,

Panthers look to make some noise in Shore Conference Tournament
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
TUCKERTON — Despite a sec-
ond half surge from Point
Boro on the road, the
Pinelands Regional Wildcats
bested the Panthers in last Fri-
day’s matchup.
The win is the Wildcats’
12th this year, setting a single-
season school record for
Pinelands.
At the end of the first quar-
ter, Point Boro was trailing 8-6.
Then in the second, the
Wildcats outscored the Pan-
thers 21-8 to go into the half
with a comfortable 15-point
lead.
Point Boro found some mo-
mentum in the third and
fourth quarters, scoring 14
points in each. Their effort fell
short as the Wildcats kept
their lead with 12 points in the
third quarter and 15 points in
the fourth quarter.
Leading the way for the Pan-
thers was John Venturi with 11
points. At the other end of the
court, Dave Lunn of Pinelands
led his team with 15 points.
On Tuesday, Point Boro was
supposed to take on Middle-
town High School South at
home, but the game was post-
poned due to inclement
weather.
The Panthers will next take
on New Egypt at Point Pleas-
ant Borough High School to-
morrow.
Tip-off is scheduled for 12:30

Ally Lassen [31] puts up a contested shot Wednesday night. She
pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds.
This week, Megan Hugh-
es dropped 24 points
against Mater Dei to help
secure a victory in the first
round of the Shore Confer-
ence Tournament [SCT].
She also pulled down five
rebounds and snagged three
steals.
Not to be confused with
local Panther legend Kelly
Hughes, Megan, only a
sophomore, is making a
name for herself on the
Point Boro girls basketball
team.
A shooting guard by
trade, Hughes has been
playing basketball since she
was six years old.
“It runs in my family,”
said Hughes. “My brother
played in college and my
mom was the first thou-
sand-point scorer at Man-
asquan.”
Her experience shows in
her game play, as Hughes
really works to her
strengths, driving and
shooting. She is also a
strong defender, always
playing tight on her oppo-
nent and making it difficult
for them to pass to team-
mates or shoot the ball.
She also makes sure to
improve her game during
the offseason. This past
summer, she participated in
a speed school in order to
make her faster, which can
definitely come in handy
during a game.
Point Boro coach David
Drew is more than happy to
have Hughes as a member
of his team.
“Megan is a great player.
She’s a young girl, only a
sophomore,” said Drew.
“That means we have two
more years with her and
that makes me smile.”
Megan understands the
game well and takes direc-
tion from her coaches in
stride. These aspects add
up to a player whose name
will be prominent in the
coming years.
Other than looking up to
her brother and parents as
role models, Hughes also
looks up to Los Angeles
Laker Kobe Bryant, saying,
“I really like the way he
plays the game.”
Hughes is sure to make
more noise in the coming
weeks and years of her
young career.
She hopes to continue
playing basketball through-
out high school and use it as
a way to secure a place on a
basketball team in college.

Panthers fall short on road

THE OCEAN STAR
CINNAMINSON — In their
quest for the program’s first
sectional title, the Garnet
Gulls fell short to the Pirates
of Cinnaminson in the Cen-
tral Jersey Group One Sec-
tional Finals last Friday night.
Point Beach only claimed
victory in four weight classes
for 18 team points while Cin-
naminson finished with 55. It
is the first time in school his-
tory that the Pirates have won
a sectional championship.
The match did not begin
well for the Gulls as the Pi-
rates won the first four bouts.
They won the 106-pound
weight class by major deci-
sion, the 113- and 120-pound
weight classes by pins, and
the 126-pound weight class by
technical fall. This put Point
Beach in a 21-0 hole early on.
During the 132-pound bout,
Beach’s John Finnerty pinned
his opponent early in the sec-
ond period to put the Gulls on
the board with six.
In the following weight
class, 138-pounder Giancarlo
Crivelli of Point Beach won
by decision 6-3.
Then in the 145-pound bout
Garnet Gull Zack Schaller
claimed victory with a 10-4
decision, bringing the Gulls a
little bit closer, 21-12.
Unfortunately, Point Beach
could not keep it going. Cin-
naminson won another four
bouts in the 152-, 160-, 170-,
and 182-pound weight classes
by pin, major decision, pin,
and pin, respectively.
Jake Fioretti of Point Beach
answered one last time, win-
ning the 195-pound bout after
pinning his opponent 17 sec-
onds into the second period.
Cinnaminson then won the
220-pound bout by pin and
the heavyweight bout by for-
feit.
The Pirates went on to lose
in the New Jersey State Inter-
scholastic Athletic Associa-
tion Group One semifinals to
Paulsboro by a score of 45-11.
“The kids wrestled tough
and fought hard in every
match,” said Beach coach Jeff
Bower about the loss to Cin-
naminson. “We caught a cou-
ple tough breaks, but Cin-
naminson was the better
team.”
Bower refuses to let the
loss take away from the
amazing season the Gulls
have produced, and reminds
his wrestlers of this.
“We just told them to keep
their heads up and that they
had a fantastic dual meet
season,” said Bower.
The Gulls had back-to-
back trips to the section fi-
nals, and finished the year
21-2. Now they can concen-
trate on the post-season in
an effort to get as many
wrestlers as they can out of
districts and on to regions.
Last year the Gulls ad-
vanced four wrestlers to re-
gions. Finnerty, the only
non-senior to advance,
placed third at the District 23
Tournament in the 120-
pound weight class.
The New Jersey State In-
terscholastic Athletic Asso-
ciation [NJSIAA] District 23

HACKETTSTOWN — The Pan-
thers did not fair too well as
they competed in a tri-meet
last Saturday. Point Boro trav-
eled to Hackettstown to take
on St. John Vianney and
Hackettstown High School,
where they lost 34-33 to St.
John Vianney and 40-17 to
Hackettstown.
The loss to the Lancers of
St. John Vianney was decided
on the sixth criteria of which
team had the most first
points scored after the two
teams finished tied at 33.
The match started in the
106-pound weight class
where Point Boro’s Ben Sabo
was pinned by his opponent
with two seconds left in the
first period.
Point Boro then won the
next four bouts.
In the 113-pound weight
class, Tyler Tweedie pinned
his opponent in the second
period, evening the score at
6-6.
Panther Blake Dale took
the 120-pound bout by major
decision before teammate
Dan Nobbs took a close bout
by decision over Lancer Paul
Piccione in the 126-pound
matchup.
Jack Ehrhardt of Point Boro
then secured an 18-6 lead for
the Panthers with a win in
the 132-pound weight class by
technical fall late in the third
period.
The Lancers answered
with a decision win in the
138-pound bout before Matt
Sulzer of Point Boro pinned
his opponent in the second
period of the 145-pound
weight class.
With the score 24-12 in fa-
vor of the Panthers, St. John
Vianney slowly worked to-
ward catching up.
The Lancers took the 152-
pound weight class by deci-
sion, the 160-pound weight
class by pin and the 170-
pound weight class by major
decision, bringing them with-
in two team points of the
Panthers.
During the 182-pound
matchup, Gene Fransceshini
of Point Boro pinned his op-
ponent in the second period
as the Panthers looked to run
away with the match.
St. John Vianney stood
strong, taking the 195-pound
bout by pin in 33 seconds.
Lancer Calvin Beaty then
won the 220-pound weight
class by technical fall, giving
the Lancers their first lead of
the match, 33-30, with only
the heavyweight bout to go.
In order to win, the Pan-
thers needed a win by any-
thing more than a decision.
In an evenly matched bout,
Dominic Infante of Point
Boro won by decision 6-5,
evening out the match at 33.
Based on the “most first
points scored” criteria, St.
John Vianney took the victo-
ry by one point.
The Panthers also faced
the Hackettstown Tigers,
falling 40-17.
The Tigers won nine out of
the 14 weight classes, domi-
nating the Panthers from the
start.
Recording wins for Point
Boro were Gencarelli in the
145-pound weight class, Bran-
don DeFeo in the 160-pound
weight class, Franceschini in
the 170-pound weight class,
Infante in the heavyweight
bout, and Sabo in the 106-
pound weight class.
The Panthers had no pins
during the match.
According to assistant
coach Brian Grainer, the Pan-
thers decided to pick up the
tri-meet last minute in an ef-
fort to find competitive op-
ponents and keep the
wrestlers in shape for up-
coming districts.
“Hackettstown is a very
tough team from northwest
New Jersey. They put it on us,
no excuses,” said Grainer.
“But if we’re going to make
mistakes, better that it was
last weekend than this up-
coming one.”
Point Boro hopes to get as
many of their wrestlers out of
districts and on to regions as
they can, as well as crown
some district champions
along the way.
Last year the Panthers ad-
vanced six wrestlers to the
Region 6 Tournament. This
included Dan Nobbs in the
120-pound weight class, Blake
Dale in the 113-pound weight
class and Dominic Infante in
the 220-pound weight class.
Nobbs went on to win first
place in his weight class at
the District 23 Tournament.
The New Jersey State In-
terscholastic Athletic Associ-
ation [NJSIAA] District 23
tournament starts at 10 a.m.
tomorrow morning at Brick
Memorial High School. If a
wrestler places in the top
three in their weight class at

Rivalry week in college
basketball got me thinking
about the best types of games
in sports.
My conclusion: Nothing
beats a rivalry game. It’s that
simple.
No matter the sport, if it is
a contest between rivals, it
will be a good show.
When athletes compete in
rivalry games, there always
seems to be an extra edge to
everything that happens.
There is this rivalry mindset
the players adapt which says
the game is a must win, no
matter what.
In the end, the winner se-
cures bragging rights, the
fans get their money’s worth,
and the losing party looks
ahead to the next time the
two rivals meet and a chance
at redemption.
This past week in college
hoops has provided us with
matchups like Michigan State
vs. Michigan, Xavier vs.
Cincinnati and, of course,
North Carolina vs. Duke.
None of the games disap-
pointed, as most rivalry
games do not.
Michigan State got its first
win at Michigan in five years
by a score of 80-67 even after
being outscored in the sec-
ond half.
Xavier rallied to edge out
Cincinnati 59-57 with the
winning points coming off of
free throws in the final sec-
onds of the game.
Duke beat North Carolina
in overtime 92-90 during the
final seconds of the game. It
came down to which team
could grab the rebound off of
an intentionally-missed free
throw. Talk about an intense
finish.
And of course, the rivalry
that really began my thoughts
on the matter was the Point
Boro vs. Point Beach
wrestling match here in Point
Pleasant. You simply could
not have asked for a better
ending to a cross-town rival-
ry matchup.
THE HYPE AND THE HISTORY
It is safe to say that the
coverage leading up to a ri-
valry game fuels the fire as
much as the game itself.
This is when the fans get
the opportunity to support
their team and get the cre-
ative juices flowing by com-
ing up with clever ways to
smack talk their rival.
The media [that’s me!]
also gets to enjoy preview-
ing potential matchups and
give a name to the rivalry.
Previous sports reporter for
The Ocean Star, Greg Do-
morski, dubbed the
wrestling match the Battle
of Point Pleasant, a simple
yet defining title for the in-
tense matchup.
At this point, it’s not about
the teams, it’s about who the
teams represent. This cross-
town rivalry ended up bring-
ing a large chunk of the com-
munity into a small high
school gymnasium to enjoy a
fierce competition, food and
the entertaining antics of the
crowd.
Point Boro came away with
the dramatic win, but Point
Beach looks ahead to the next
time the two teams meet, as
any competitive rival should.
The rivalry, if continued
for years to come, will build a
history that then stays rooted
within the two schools and
the community. This only
continues to make the rivalry
even better as the years
progress.
The Duke-UNC rivalry be-
gan way back in 1920 and
only becomes more promi-
nent with every meeting. His-
tory drives a good rivalry.
IT’S THE HEALTHY KIND
Sometimes, the hyping of
a rivalry game and the ten-
sion of the rivalry can lead
to some unsavory comments
or unsportsmanlike behav-
ior.
That wasn’t the case with
the Battle of Point Pleasant,
as this local clash falls under
the healthy rivalry category.
A healthy rivalry is a rival-
ry that brings out the highest
potential of the athletes par-
ticipating. Utilizing the rival-
ry mindset I mentioned ear-
lier, athletes perform at
levels they may not have
known they could and con-
centrate more on improving
themselves than demeaning
or degrading their opponent.
In the Xavier win, a fresh-
man made two free throws
with 11.5 seconds to go for a
one-point lead. They were
his only points of the game
and he made them when
they mattered most.
In the Battle of Point
Pleasant, a freshman claimed
his first varsity win by a pin
to spark the dramatic come-
back victory for the Pan-
thers.
As all great coaches know
and preach, the best athletes
let their game play do all the
talking.
So my advice to you as a
fan is to make sure you take
the time to enjoy a great ri-
valry game. Keep sports-
manship at the forefront and
lose yourself in the hype, the
game, and the highly coveted
bragging rights.
You will not regret it.

THE OCEAN STAR
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Kelly
Hughes, graduate of Point
Pleasant Borough High
School, has been named At-
lantic Coast Conference
[ACC] Women’s Basketball
Player of the Week.
Hughes scored a career-
high 32 points for Boston Col-
lege as the Eagles beat Wake
Forest last Thursday 75-74 on
the road.
Hughes shot 11-for-24 from
the floor and hit seven bas-
kets from beyond the arc. She
also pulled down eight re-
bounds and five steals. The
seven three-pointers and the
five steals are also career-
highs for the sophomore
guard as well as her 18-point
first half.
In the fourth quarter, with
less than seven minutes to
play and trailing to Wake For-
est, Hughes went on her own
eight point run with two
three-pointers and a shot
from the field. She also had a
game tying lay-up with less
than six minutes left in regu-
lation.
At the 2:48 mark, Hughes
hit her seventh three-point-
er of the game to give the
Eagles a 73-72 lead. Wake
Forest scored once more be-
fore Hughes grabbed a steal
that led to teammate Nicole
Boudreau’s game-winning
free throws with a minute
and half left to play. Boston
College held on with a
blocked shot at the buzzer
to seal the first win against
Wake Forest since the 2008
season.
Hughes has moved into
seventh place on the all-
time three-pointer list at
Boston College with 138.
Hughes also leads Boston
College in points per game
[14.9], rebounds [7.0] and
ranks first in the ACC in
three-pointers made [23
games, 64 three's]. She also
ranks fourth in the confer-
ence in 3-pointer field goal
percentage [.383] and sev-
enth in free throw percent-
age [.825].
In addition to being
named ACC Player of the
Week, Hughes was also
named Eagle of the Week
and Eastern College Athletic
Conference [ECAC] Player
of the Week for her per-
formance against Wake For-
est.
While in high school,
Hughes played under coach
David Drew for four years.
She was the all-time leading
scorer of the Shore Confer-
ence with 2,558 points and
holds the record for the
most free throws made and
attempted [772-for-879]. She
was also All-State first team
her senior year and Ocean
County Player of the Year her
senior and junior years.
Boston College will take on
Florida State at home this
Sunday at 1 p.m.

FISHING TIPS BY JIM FREDA
TIP OF THE WEEK
FROM JIM FREDA
Washdown pumps should-
n’t be connected for use on
any portable livewells that
you may use on your boat
to keep bait alive. They are
not made for continuous
hours of running. For these
applications a high GPH
capacity livewell pump is
your best bet.
