The Point Beach wrestling team won first place at the 16th Patriot Invitational wrestling tournament in Secaucus. They topped 10 other teams, with three wrestlers winning their weight class and five others placing second or third. The coach credited their depth in having a wrestler in every weight class and strong performances in the consolation matches for their victory.

SECAUCUS — It was a long, early morning
bus ride for the Point Beach wrestling team
Monday en route to the 16th Patriot Invita-
tional wrestling tournament in Secaucus. But
it was worth the trip.
Point Beach, returned home champions, af-
ter topping 10 other teams on the two mats in
the Secaucus High School gym.
“I thought overall we wrestled real tough,”
said Beach head coach Jeff Bower. “Secaucus
did a great job. This flew today with 11 teams
and only two mats.”
In the end it was Point Beach that did the
best job, finishing in first place overall as a
team with three first place medal winners,
two second place medal winners and three
third place medal winners.
“It was just depth – having every weight
class filled and everyone wrestling tough.
Those [consolation] pins, those were huge at
the end of the day,” explained Bower. “Going
into the finals and [consolations] it was a sev-
en-point team race. So they [Point Beach] did
a great job in the [consolations] and the fi-
nals.”
Beach’s John Finnerty, the one-seed, took
first in the 145-pound bracket. He won the

POINT BORO — The Point
Boro ice hockey team had a
rough two games on the ice
this past week starting with a
tough 1-0 loss to Wall last
Wednesday.
“I thought we outworked
them on the boards. Thought
we played well,” said head
coach Alex DePalma. “Unfor-
tunately we couldn’t get the
puck in the net.”
The Crimson Knights of
Wall were coming off a 5-2
loss to Middletown South the
night before and the Panthers
were hoping to capitalize.
The Knights’ discipline
proved difficult for Boro to
overcome and in the second
period Wall scored on a
Steven Karnassos goal.
After a Wall clear, Karanas-
sos broke into Boro’s zone in
a 2-on-1. With the defense-
man covering the other Wall
player, he ripped a shot that
bounced past Chris Belman
who was in goal for the Pan-
thers.
Point Boro played tough
defense the rest of the game
to keep the game within
reach but they were unable
to get the puck past Wall’s
freshman goalie, Logan Beat-
tie.
“Defensively we were play-
ing well in our zone but we
have to reach the back of the
net. That’s the problem,” stat-
ed DePalma. “We got a lot of
things right in the game but
it’s that one element that’s
keeping us from finishing the
game.”
Unfortunately for Boro an-
other close game fell apart in
the third period when the
Panthers played Southern
Regional in the first round of

POINT BORO — After kicking
off the dual meet season with
a win over B South opponent
Pinelands Regional, the Point
Boro wrestling team knew
they would be tested when
they hosted Hunterdon Cen-
tral Regional High School
last Wednesday.
The Red Devils made for
strong competition against
the Panthers and rallied from
a 13-point deficit to beat out
Boro.
The match began with the
152-pound weight class where
Boro’s Courtland Hackel
earned the team’s first
points. He took the bout over
Brian Gartland with a 12-1
major decision win.
Brandon Defeo followed
that up with a pin in the sec-
ond round of the 160-pound
bout, which gave the Pan-
thers an early 10-0 lead.
In the next weight class
[170] Boro’s Ryan Sansone
did his best to work against
Mike Iodice but fell by pin in
the first round. Gene
Franceschini returned the fa-
vor in the 182-pound bout by
pinning Hunterdon’s Nick
McDermott with only five
seconds left in the first
round.
In the 195-pound weight
class Connor Wheatley beat
out Billy Borowsky 6-2. Hun-
terdon Central opted to for-
feit the 220-pound weight
class, which put Boro ahead
22-9.

It was the movie Dodge-
ball: A True Underdog Sto-
ry’s fictional character, Peter
La Fleur, who said, “I found
that if you have a goal, that
you might not reach it. But if
you don’t have one, then you
are never disappointed. And I
gotta tell ya — it feels phe-
nomenal.”
It is one of the funnier lines
in a comedy movie about a
rag tag adult dodge ball team
and it follows a logical train
of thought — just in an ex-
tremely sad way. I mean,
where would the world be
without goals? Where would
you be without goals in your
life?
2015 is on its way out and
the New Year has arrived.
This is the time when people
pause to reflect on the past
year’s successes and failures
in order to decide on a goal
for the following year.
I definitely feel this is a
good way to better yourself
in whatever way you desire
and I understand that some
people need that concrete
idea of the “right” time to
start conquering a new goal.
But I am a firm believer in to-
day being the “right” time.
There is no better time to be-
gin striving towards new
goals than right in this mo-
ment and it is in athletics
where this fundamental
mindset is taught.
Athletics teach individuals
how to set goals, what it takes
to get there and what it feels
like to fail. It most certainly
does not wait for the New
Year.
With multiple games a
week and practices in be-
tween, athletes are either
beating goals or falling short
every single day. Either way,
there is constant desire to im-
prove.
I emphasize the fact that
learning to fail comes with
the territory because this too
is a fundamental part of ath-
letics. More importantly, it is
a fundamental part of life.
Without experiencing fail-
ure, one would never truly
know the elations of success.
Setting goals and working to-
wards them provides athletes
with the opportunity to expe-
rience failure as well as suc-
cess.
Failure ranges anywhere
from losing a close game in
the final seconds to not
matching last week’s time in
a race. Success ranges any-
where from beating a person-
al best on the track or in the
pool to executing the perfect
crossover, step back and
jumper from beyond the arc.
But these successes don’t
happen without the failures.
They most certainly don’t
happen without goals.
You set a goal. You prac-
tice. You fail. You try again.
You improve.
The best part about the
process is that once you hit
your goal you set the bar
even higher. Then it is right
back to working towards that
new goal.
As is the case when it
comes to sports, a lot of what
you learn and utilize on the
court, track or field translates
to your life outside of or after
sports. Set goals for yourself
in life, whether it’s maintain-
ing a certain GPA or learning
a new skill.
Take the techniques you
have learned and developed
from athletics and put it to
good use.
Remember, it is never too
early or too late to set a goal.
Maybe it coincides with the
New Year, maybe it doesn’t.
Whichever the case, setting
and working towards goals in
athletics and life is a great
way to improve your sense of
self and your character.
Learn what failure feels
like so you can appreciate the
feeling of success and never
let anyone discourage you
from your goals.
And remember — it starts
right now.

POINT BORO — The Point
Boro boys basketball team
may not have a shot at win-
ning the 32nd WOBM Christ-
mas Classic basketball tour-
nament but they still had the
opportunity to keep playing
basketball this past week.
After falling to Toms River
East in the first round of the
tournament last week the
Panthers were bumped to the
consolation bracket and
tipped off against Lacey at
Toms River North High
School on Saturday.
Lacey walked away with
the game’s high-scorer in
Vincent Della Volla with 14
points but Point Boro walked
away with the 50-32 win. The
Panthers secured a 12-7 lead
after the first quarter and
never gave up a lead all game.
John Duda led Boro’s offen-
sive attack with 16 points and
Jack Waddleton added 12
points in the win. Boro went
on to play St. Rose on Mon-
day in the next round of con-
solations games.
After finishing the first
quarter with a 10-7 lead over
the Purple Roses, the Pan-
thers fell behind in the sec-
ond quarter 20-16. They then
outscored St. Rose in the sec-

Panthers surge in second quarter

THE OCEAN STAR
TOMS RIVER — The Point
Boro girls basketball team’s
participation in the WOBM
Christmas Classic tourna-
ment ended on a high note
Tuesday morning with a 55-37
win over Freehold Township
in a consolation round game.
The Panthers bounced
back from an 11-point second
quarter deficit in addition to
early foul trouble in the win.
“We found ourselves in
foul trouble early, which is
something that we don’t ever
want but definitely happens,”
said head coach David Drew.
“So we had to go to the bench
early and weather the storm.”
It was junior Megan Hugh-
es who found herself riding
the bench after tallying three
fouls in the first quarter but
the players off the bench
stepped up to bring Boro
back in a game that was
creeping out of reach.
Freehold Township, after
starting the game with an 11-7
first quarter lead, extended
their lead to 20-9 in the sec-
ond quarter.
The Panthers dug deep and
strung together and 11-1 run
and in the final seconds of
the first half they hit a layup
to take a 22-21 lead. Drew at-
tributes the second quarter
surge to the role players off
the bench that all contributed
points or steals or rebounds.
“I think we were down 11 in
the second quarter but we
had girls like Paige Yochum
and Carlie Vetrini coming off
the bench and Allie Delaney,
Morgan Woods – coming off
the bench and really con-
tributing in ways they’re not
always called upon,” ex-
plained Drew. “Today they
contributed to help us weath-
er that storm and we were
able to come out of that sec-
ond quarter with the lead,
which gave us all the confi-
dence in the world in the sec-
ond half.”
There was a large contri-
bution from junior Ally
Lassen in the second quarter
who really got physical un-
derneath the basket for Boro.
She was pulling down offen-
sive and defensive rebounds
and driving the ball to the
hoop while drawing fouls.
Lassen kept up her play in
the second half and the rest
of the Point Boro team fol-
lowed suit.
Their confidence showed
and they outscored Freehold
16-6 in the third quarter for a
38-27 lead. Drew was able to
work Hughes back onto the
court and she eventually
closed out the win with a
game-high 17 points.
“Don’t foul was the first
message. We knew if we
could get to the second half
then she could be a little
more aggressive,” explained
Drew. “Picking up that third
foul was a tough one and just
keeping her head about her-
self and keep playing was the
message.”
Hughes also finished the
game with six rebounds, four
assists and two steals. Lassen
contributed 14 points and
shined under the basket with
11 rebounds. She also tallied
four blocks, a steal and an as-
sist. Both Hughes and Lassen
earned six of their points
from the free throw line.
The Panthers proved that
they have depth as well as tal-
ent in a relatively young
team. The win serves as a
confidence boost for the Pan-
thers after they lost their first
consolation round game to
Donovan Catholic on Sunday.
Point Boro lost by a score of
45-38.
For video highlights of the
win over Freehold Township
on Tuesday watch the Ocean
Star Sports Show on
YouTube.com.
Up next for Point Boro is
Manchester Township on the
road Monday in a divisional
matchup.
“They’re very good – prob-
ably one of the best teams in
the division if not the best,”
said Drew about the upcom-
ing competition. “It’s a big di-
visional game for us.”

Hughes & Lassen com-
bine for 31 points in win
over Freehold Twp.
Monday was a day of suc-
cess for the Point Beach
wrestling team when they
made the trip to wrestle in
the 16th Patriot Invitational
at Secaucus High School.
The team returned three
individual champions and
one of those three was
named the Most Outstand-
ing Wrestler of the tourna-
ment.
Senior John Finnerty, who
wrestled his way through
the 145-pound weight class,
was given the award for his
two pins in the rounds lead-
ing up to the finals in addi-
tion to a 13-6 decision win
in the 145-pound champi-
onship over Princeton’s
James Verbeyst.
“It’s cool to get that. I def-
initely wasn’t expecting it.
There was a lot of good
wrestlers,” said Finnerty.
“He wrestled real tough
the first two matches and
then that kid he wrestled in
the finals – he’s very good
from Princeton,” said head
coach Jeff Bower. “I think he
tech-falled or pinned every-
body leading up to the fi-
nals so John really wrestled
tough.”
Finnerty has been
wrestling a long time and
actually quit the sport early
on before picking it back up
again in fifth grade.
He attributes his drive to
succeed to his distaste for
losing and showed that with
his dominance on the mat
Monday.
Finnerty also recalled a
time when good friend and
former Beach wrestler, Zack
Schaller, beat him in a wres-
tle off.
“He beat me in a wrestle
off and I was so mad. I hate
losing,” he said. “I got a pull
up bar, kept doing push ups
and got to work getting bet-
ter.”
As a senior this season
Finnerty hopes to find more
success as the wrestling
season carries on.
“In dual meet season –
beat Boro. I want it, defi-
nitely,” he listed as one of
his goals for this year.
He also added his desire
to win a state title with the
team after losing in the fi-
nals the last two years.
His final goals lie at the
end of the season during
the individual portion of the
year.
“I want to win districts,
get out of regions, get to
A.C. [Atlantic City] and
hopefully get a medal,” he
said.

the Winding River Christmas
Tournament in Toms River
Monday night.
“Southern comes in as one
of the strongest teams in the
Shore right now,” said DePal-
ma of the competition. “A lot
of seniors and they’re a fast,
physical team.”
After two periods of play
Point Boro was trailing by a
score of 2-1. Southern scored
first with under two minutes
left in the first period and
again halfway through the
second.
It was John Callander who
put the puck in the back of
the net for Boro off an assist
from Ryan McCabe and
Christopher Miller four min-
utes later to bring the game
within reach.
What became even more
promising for Boro was a last
second Southern penalty that
put Boro up a player to start
the third period.
“We were in a perfect situ-
ation going into the third,”
explained DePalma. “Down
by a goal and with their team
starting the period with a
five-minute major we could-
n’t have asked for a better
scenario.”
The Panthers could not
capitalize on the opportunity
and two minutes into the fi-
nal period they committed a
penalty of their own, evening
out the numbers on the ice.
Southern scored their third
goal one minute later.
It got worse for Boro as
they committed three more
penalties in the final six min-
utes of play. Again Southern
took advantage and piled on a
fourth goal with five minutes
left in the final period.
“Against a really good team
like Southern – they took ad-
vantage. They capitalized on
our mistakes,” said DePalma.
The game closed out 4-1 in
favor of Southern Regional
and for DePalma it was up-
setting that his boys had
played, what he felt was, their
best hockey of the season the
first two periods.
“We took some foolish
penalties in the third period. I
thought the boys played
some of the best hockey of
the season in the first two pe-
riods,” he said. “We squan-
dered the third.”
DePalma’s message to his
team after the loss was sim-
ple, saying, “I tell them to be
more disciplined. It’s okay to
play on edge but we can’t af-
ford this year to go off that
edge. We don’t have that re-
siliency this year to do that.”
On Wednesday the Pan-
thers played Jackson Memo-
rial in the consolation round
of the tournament. The game
occurred too late for today’s
paper. For full coverage be

Beach earns first win of season
in Sunday’s Christmas Tourney
BY DOMINICK POLLIO

POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls boys basketball team
secured their first win of the
season on Sunday when they
topped St. Peter’s 51-47 in the
opening round of the Monsi-
gnor Kelly Christmas Tour-
nament in Somerville.
Point Beach took advan-
tage of a struggling St. Peter’s
team that could not get their
shooters set in the first quar-
ter. They took a slim 7-5 lead
into the second quarter,
which they turned into a 22-
18 lead by halftime.
The third quarter was big
for both teams and Point
Beach managed to outscore
St. Peter’s 16-15 to take a five-
point lead heading into the fi-
nal quarter.
The Gulls saw that lead
slip away and with just over
four minutes remaining in
the game St. Peter’s captured
the lead.
Point Beach remained ded-
icated to their game plan and
down the stretch hit clutch
free throws and field goals
while St. Peter’s had trouble
capitalizing on their posses-
sions.
Trevor Covey led the Gulls
with 14 points in the win. He
shot 50 percent from the free
throw line. Danny Frauen-
heim contributed 13 points in
the win and Mike Rice added
11. Frauenheim shot 5-for-5
from the charity stripe and
Rice hit 5-of-7 from the free
throw line in a game where
Point Beach scored 21 of its
points from foul shots.
The win moved the Gulls
to the championship game on
Tuesday night against Monsi-
gnor Scanlan [NY]. Point
Beach fell by a score of 55-54.
As of press time, stats and

The Red Devils then
bumped up Victor Lacombe
to face Aidan Connolly in the
heavyweight bout. The less
experienced Connolly was
beat by major decision and
Hunterdon’s road to victory
began.
The Red Devils not only
won six of the last seven
bouts but they scored the
right points at critical mo-
ments.
After Jack Bauer got the
best of Boro’s Ben Sabo by
decision in the 106-pound
weight class, Hunterdon’s
Hunter Graf won the 113-
pound class by major deci-
sion. He scored a takedown
with under 30 seconds left to
go that earned his team four
points instead of three. Hun-
terdon Central had pulled
within 22-20.
The Red Devils took the
lead in the 120-pound bout
when Peter Nace pinned Paul
Franceschini with five sec-
onds to spare. Just like that
Point Boro found themselves
down 26-22.
Blake Dale battled hard in
the 126-pound bout to try and
gain back some ground but
Hunterdon’s Bryce Hall
earned the clutch decision
victory to further increase
Boro’s deficit.
Some relief came in the
form of a Spencer Robinson
decision win in the 132-pound
weight class, which brought
the match to 29-25 in favor of
Hunterdon Central. How the
final two bouts played out
would determine a victor.
In the 138-pound weight
class Dylan Davies of Point
Boro and Vincent Romaniello
of Hunterdon Central had a
true warrior’s clash on the
mats. Davies was working
from behind, down 4-3, when
Romaniello scored a reversal
with 25 seconds left in the
bout.
This gave him a 6-3 lead
and Davies managed two
more points before Ro-
maniello was able to fend
him off and clinch the match
with a 6-5 decision-win that
put Central ahead of Boro 32-
25.
In the final bout [145] Hun-
terdon closed out the road
win with a decision victory to
bring the final score to 35-25.
On Wednesday the Pan-
thers traveled to take on
Ocean Township but the
match occurred too late for
today’s paper.
Point Boro will hit the mats
again on Saturday in a tri-
match with Manasquan and
Shore Regional. The match is
at Manasquan and set to be-
gin at 10 a.m.

first two bouts by pin before
beating James Verbeyst, the
two-seed, of Princeton 13-6 in
the finals.
“He wrestled real tough the
first two matches and then
that kid he wrestled in the fi-
nals – he’s very good from
Princeton,” said Bower. “I
think he tech falled or pinned
everybody leading up to the
finals so John really wrestled
tough.”
“The kid in the finals I’ve
actually known him for a
while. He was tough kid, a real
nice kid a good wrestler,”
added Finnerty. “I just knew it
was going to be a good match
in the finals.”
In addition to winning the
145-pound championship
Finnerty was named the Most
Outstanding Wrestler.
“It’s cool to get that. I defi-
nitely wasn’t expecting it.
There was a lot of good
wrestlers,” said Finnerty
about receiving the reward.
He pointed out that his
good friend and teammate, Gi-
ancarlo Crivelli, was most
likely another contender for
the award.
Crivelli, who entered the
tournament as a three-seed,
won the 152-pound weight
class, beating out the six-seed,
two-seed and five-seed along
the way, respectively.
“I thought Giancarlo wres-
tled great. That’s the first
tournament that Giancarlo
has won in high school,” stat-
ed Bower. “As a senior I’m just
so happy for him. We have a
wall of champions so he’ll get
up on there.”
Beach’s third champion was
Jimmy Sherlock, the one-seed,
who won the 160-pound
weight class in dominant fash-
ion.
He beat Moises Garra, the
eight-seed, by pin after exe-
cuting a cradle before besting
Kelvin Gonzalez, the five-
seed, by pin in the semifinals.
In the finals match Sherlock
won by a 6-4 decision over
Matthew Menendez, the six-
seed, of Bayonne.
Two other Beach wrestlers
made their way to the finals
match of their respective
brackets.
In the 106-pound weight
class Garnet Gull Will Jarvis,
the one-seed, found himself
matched up against Chris Cas-
tiglia, the two-seed, of Lake-
land in the finals match. Cas-
tiglia managed to pin Jarvis in
the second round of the bout.
One of the most exciting
brackets to follow was the
heavyweight class, which fea-
tured Point Beach’s Forrest
Gardner, the three-seed.
Gardner advanced out of
the first round with a pin in
the second period. He then
matched up against Davius
Bunch, the two-seed, in the
semifinals round.
The first period ended tied
at zero and Gardner earned a
1-0 lead by the end of the sec-
ond period. Bunch was able to
equalize before the close of
the six minutes and the bout
went to one-minute overtime.
Neither Gardner nor Bunch
was able to secure the win and
the first of two 30-second con-
secutive overtime periods en-
sued. In the first 30-second
period Gardner added three
points to take a 4-1 lead. In the
second 30-second period
Bunch only managed one
point on an escape and Gard-
ner advanced to the finals
match.
There Gardner was tasked
with working against Jonathan
Beltre, the one-seed, of Union
City. Again he faced a long
match that went to overtime
periods but was eventually de-
feated by a 2-1 decision to
place second in the heavy-
weight bracket.
“The kid he beat in the
semifinals – that was a district
champ,” said Bower of the
competition Gardner faced
Monday. “That last kid is very
good. He [Gardner] wrestled
tough. He wrestled great. He’s
very aggressive and a tough
kid.”
The third place finishers for
the Garnet Gulls were Jared
Hoeler [126], Roddy Rupp
[138] and Cade Watkins [220].
Their success in the consola-
tion brackets helped propel
Point Beach to a first place
overall team finish.
“It’s sweet. We have a good
team this year. We’re really
close and we’ve been working
hard,” said Finnerty at the
conclusion of the tournament.
“It’s cool for the first time to
wrestle here. Everyone wres-
tled well and we came home
with a bunch of medals.”
It was worth the long trip to
Secaucus to return home with
a first place trophy but Bower
knows if the team is to find
success in the season there are
still some things to be im-
proved.
“Success was good but we
still have a lot of stuff to work
on. We still have guys getting
pinned and giving up stupid
mistakes that we need to clean
up for the dual meets to beat
the good teams,” he said.
“We’ll watch the film and
hopefully we get better mov-
ing forward.”
The Garnet Gulls will travel
to wrestle Manalapan on
Tuesday. The match is set to
begin at 6 p.m.
