Marlboro Moves Past Matawan

By Pat RalphBehind a strong pitching

staff, the Christian BrothersAcademy (CBA) baseballteam has had a solid springseason. The pitching staff ishighlighted by seniors BobbyByrne and Sean Clarke andjuniors John McCarren andMatt Pidich. The strength ofthe Colts pitching staff makesit one of the most uniqueteams in the Shore this year.With four aces that are able totake the ball for the Colts, anyfour of these pitchers could bea number one starter on anoth-er team in the Shore. Whatalso makes this team uniquecompared to most CBA base-ball teams is that the founda-tion of the team is pitchingrather than offense.

Despite great pitching, theColts have been hurt by aninconsistent offense.However, behind a strong-hit-ting junior class, the Colts areconfident they can make a runat the Shore Conferencechampionship and the Non-Public A State championship.The leader and most notableplayer of the junior class isUniversity of North Carolina-bound first baseman JoeDudek, but the Colts have

seen the emergence of severalother juniors that have provid-ed good offense. OutfielderChris Cordova, third basemanAnthony Critelli and secondbaseman Mike Caputo, whobegan the season as a backup,have become RBI machines.The Colts have also benefittedfrom a strong group of seniorleaders, which includes cap-tain and Temple University-bound shortstop Sean Arnott,who have helped instill ateam-first mentality amongthe players.

As of May 17th, the Coltshave posted a 13-7 overallrecord, with a 7-5 record inClass A North. The Coltsadvanced to the semifinals ofthe Monmouth CountyTournament (MCT), but lost aheartbreaker to archrival RedBank Catholic 6-5 at FirstEnergy Park, the home of theLakewood Blueclaws.Notable wins on the season forthe Colts include wins againstcrosstown rival MiddletownSouth in the MCT, Colts Neck,Class B Central-leading St.Rose, division rivalManalapan and state-powerSt. Peter’s Prep. Now that theregular season is complete, theColts begin their quest for a

Shore Conference title onSaturday, May 19th, at homeagainst Manchester. After the

Shore ConferenceTournament, the Colts willlook to bring home their first

Non Public A State champi-onship since 2009.

Strong Pitching Keeps CBA In The Game

By Harry A. Bade, MDRotator cuff tears occur in the later

decades, usually after 30 years of age.Acute injuries are not common unless youare a professional baseball player or pitch-er. Most injuries occur over a long periodof time. Patients will feel pain at the out-side part of the upper arm midway betweenthe elbow and the shoulder. The pain isusually worse at night and worse withoverhead activities. The usual orthopaedictreatment plan of rest followed by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication andphysical therapy commonly will NOTimprove the problem. With time, rotatorcuff tears progressively worsen and the sit-uation is made more critical, possibly indi-cating surgery. If people experience theabove symptoms, they should seek the

advice of an orthopaedic surgeon for properevaluation and treatment.

Seraphs Spring SCT UpsetBy Ted KaiserMIDDLETOWN— A Class B Central Division title was a nice reward for a strongregular season by the Mater Dei Prep softball team. But the Seraphs are hoping tomake some noise in the playoffs too. In one game, they already have. The 22ndseed stunned 11th seeded Brick Memorial in the Shore Conference Tournament(SCT) with a 6-1 upset victory in the first round. Mater Dei jumped ahead in thefirst inning as junior Alexis Travers hit an RBI single and another run scored onan error for a 2-0 lead. Brick Memorial got one run back in the bottom of the sixth inning, but the

Seraphs broke the game open with four runs in the top of the seventh inning.Jackie Nash and Kaitlyn Nash each hit two-RBI singles to pace the offense. JackieNash also pitched for the win, her ninth of the year. She held the Mustangs to justfour hits on the afternoon.Now the Seraphs will square off against sixth seeded Howell in the SCT Round

of 16. It’s already been quite a season for Mater Dei. There is the division title, thefirst round SCT victory and the fact that they helped Coach Jeanne Dickinson top400 wins in her coaching career. They are also setting their sights on the upcom-ing NJSIAA state tournament. Mater Dei is the fifth seed in the Non-Public SouthB bracket. They take on fourth seeded Gill St. Bernard’s in the opening round.

By Ted KaiserWEST LONG BRANCH— The disappoint-ment of not winning the Shore ConferenceTournament (SCT) seems to have worn offfor the Shore Regional girls’ lacrosse team.Even if it hasn’t, the perennial SCT winneris not letting it show in their play. Theyreeled off two state tournament victoriesafter losing 10-8 to Red Bank Catholic inthe SCT semifinals. “We were hoping theloss is motivation for the states,” saidCoach Chris Raichle.

The second seeded Blue Devils blasted15th seeded Camden Catholic 16-1 in theopening round of the South Jersey Group Itournament. Shores raced out to a 12-0 half-time lead and were never threatened in thecontest. Senior midfielder Alyson Chwatek

scored four goals, Chelsey Henderson andClaudia LaMarca each had three goals.Henderson is a career 100+ goal scorer andwill attend Villanova next fall. MollyArnette added a pair of goals. Chwatek,Henderson and LaMarca each dished out twoassists. The defense limited CamdenCatholic to only four shots on goal.

On Friday, Shore (15-5) advanced to thesectional semifinals with a 14-3 win overseventh seeded Bernards. Next up, the BlueDevils will battle third seeded Oak Knoll onTuesday, May 22nd for a berth in the final.Last year Shore lost a heartbreaker by ascore of 12-11 to Pingry in the semifinalround.

Shore Takes State Tourney Opener

By Eric BraunTOMS RIVER — They

waited an extra two days, butthe wait was so worth it forthe Jackson Memorial base-ball team. For the first timesince 1972, the Jaguars canlay claim to the fact that theyare the Ocean CountyTournament (OCT) Cham-pions following their 1-0 winover Brick Memorial.

Senior pitcher BrandonHolup threw a three hitshutout over a gritty BrickMemorial squad at Ryan Fieldin Toms River. The champi-onship which was supposed totake place on Tuesday at FirstEnergy Park was rained outand moved to Ryan Field.Holup who only startingpitching briefly for Jacksonhis sophomore season, quick-ly rose to the ace of the staffand this season has improvedhis record after the win onThursday to 5-2 and an earnedrun average at 1.10.

The Jags got on the boardin the first inning after anerror on a routine double playball by Brick Memorialallowed the lone run to crossthe plate. Nick Petrizzo drewa leadoff walk and moved tosecond on an infield hit by EdGuippone. Both runnerswould move up when short-

stop Joe Ogren groundedinto a double play and thenBrick Memorial intention-ally walked Matt Thais toload the bases to setup aninning ending double play.Memorial looked asthough they made the rightcall but during the pivotfrom second to first,Memorial’s second base-man Ray Triano drop theball allowing Petrizzo toscore from third.

From that point on itwas a back and forth affairbetween Holup andMemorial’s ace BrianCottrell. Cottrell whocame in with a record of 6-0 showed exactly why theMustangs rely on him.His poise, toughness andbig game situations makehim tough to beat. Holup hada no-hitter going into thefourth before it was broken upby Kevin Nilsen He wouldallow just four more base-run-ners the rest of the game: twohits and two walks. Cottrellmatched Holup’s performanceby baffling the explosiveJackson lineup and allowingonly five hits the entire game.

Jackson Memorial’s seniorpitcher Brandon Holup wasnamed the Ocean County’sMost Valuable pitcher, while

fellow senior teammate,shortstop Joe Ogren wasnamed the tournament’s MostValuable Player.

Memorial Boys’ Lacrosse Having More Success

Looking To Improve Your Golf Game?

By Ted KaiserCOLTS NECK— A dreary, rain soaked afternooncould not damper the competitive spirit at TrumpNational Golf Club last Tuesday. The club hostedthe U.S. Women’s Open Sectional Qualifying event.Several LPGA tour competitors were on hand toqualify for six spots in the U.S. Open along withtwo alternates. Annie Park won the qualifier whileshooting a 143 for the day. She shot a 30 on the backnine and drained seven birdies. Seonhwa Lee, JeongJang, Mi Jung Hur, Jennie Lee and Jennifer Songalso finished in the top six. Ayada Hiroko and ElisaSerramia are the alternates.

“This was the first time we had the women’s qual-ifier after having the men’s last year,” said BrianBauer, Director of Golf at Trump National GolfClub. “Mr. Trump is always about championshipgolf and the Trump National Bedminster was justawarded the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open Champio-

nship.”The weather certainly

made for less-than-idealconditions, but thegolfers seemed to makethe best of the situation.

The course was set to play for 6,700 yards inorder to prepare competitors for the 6,900-yard champioship course at River andMeadow Valleys in Wisconsin. “The weatherwas awful, especially when it was pouring forthe first 18,” explained Red Bank Catholic stargolfer Taylor Totland. “It made the courselonger and probably played like 7,100-yardswith the wet greens.”

Totland is one of the top golfers on the highschool level and she finished in 14th place,only four shots out of an alternate spot. “It wassuch a great experience. The majority of thefield was professionals and I got to see what Ineed to do to get to that level,” said Totland.

She will return to the Trump National GolfClub at Colts Neck this Wednesday for theNJSIAA state championship. Totland and herRed Bank Catholic team are contenders forthe individual and team titles. “Our team def-initely has an advantage because it is ourhome course,” Totland said. “A lot of us arealso members there so we feel confident andwe hope to win.”

The 14th seeded Scarlet Fliersousted 23rd seed Henry Hudson in the semifi-nals with a 2-1 victory. Senior ace pitcherKatie Hourihan held the Admirals to one runon six hits to improve her record and herteam’s record to 13-7 on the season.

The offense got a clutch performance fromfreshman infielder Christina Blue.

Henry Hudson held a 1-0 lead, but Blue hadthree hits and drove in both of Neptune’s runsincluding the game-winner in the bottom of theseventh inning. Her sister, senior Kelli Blue,set up the winning score with a single and astolen base. The Scarlet Fliers will now take on13th seeded Red Bank Regional for the MCTBlue Division crown.

Why begin the long journey to earning a black-belt inTae Kwon Do? Because Tae Kwon Do provides above allmental and physical training that develop the key ingredi-ents of a successful life; self-confidence, a disciplinedmind and a healthy body. Most books on being success-ful that have been published in the last 50 years have thesethree things in common.

Tae Kwon Do is a practice developed in Korea and theearliest records date its beginning to around 50 B.C.Simply translated Tae Kwon Do means “the art of kickingand punching, the art of unarmed combat”. It was used byKorean warriors to defend their country.

Today there are 10 commandments that guide the life ofstudents of this ancient practice:• Respect for your parents• Loyalty to your country• Faithfulness to your spouse• Respect for your brothers and sisters• Loyalty to your friends• Respect for your elders

• Respect for your teachers• Indomitable spirit• Loyalty to your school• Finish what you begin

All across America and the world today we are witness-ing a breakdown of respect and discipline among peoplethat is leading to a less safe, less healthy and less happyworld. Students who take up the practice of Tae Kwon Doand adhere to its 10 commandments will become happymembers of society and will be respected by their fami-lies, their friends and their teachers. As time goes by, theywill become respected leaders of society and will beknown as people who can be counted on to “always do theright thing”.

Unfortunately today there is a high prevalence of obesi-ty in society as well as bullying. A good student of TaeKwon Do will be neither obese nor afraid. Set a challengefor yourself to become a Black Belt and “finish what youbegin”. You will become a true leader, a person otherswant to follow, not one that they are forced to follow.

TheChampionship gamehas been moved toSaturday May 26th atLacey High Schooldue to rain out issueslast week forcingCentral to push backtheir small group finalwith New Egypt toFriday, May 25th.

Toms River Eastreached the finalswith superb offensiveexplosion and stellar pitching by sen-ior Jordan Weed. Weed coming off anOCT final a year ago where shepitched a no-hitter against NewEgypt, has picked up again in thisyear’s tournament where she left offwith another dominating perform-ance. She has extended her tourna-ment record of scoreless innings to28, breaking the old mark of 27 byNew Egypt's Emily Bausher in 2009-10. In the large group final againstNorth, Weed allowed only two hitsand struck out three batters whilekeeping the Mariners offense off bal-ance the entire game.

The Raiders got on the board in thefirst inning when Brianna Dziedzicsingled and stole second before beingdriven in on Weed's single to left.From there the onslaught began whenthe Raiders set another tournamentrecord, this time with eight runs in thesecond inning and putting the gameout of reach. In the inning the Raidersgot a three-run double from Corey

Schwartz and a two-run home runfrom Weed. The Raiders offense wasled by Weed, Sara Bencivenga andVal Hirschfield all contributed withthree hits apiece while Schwartz,Dziedzic and Sara Giddings all con-tributed with two hits apiece. Weedfinished the day a triple shy of thecycle, with a single in the first, homerun in the second and double in thethird and collect five runs batted in.

Jersey Sporting News • May 22 - June 5 Travel Sickles Market Style On Two New “On The Road” Day Trips

After securing more than $55,000 in financialsupport from philanthropic members within theRanney community during the last 18 months,Ranney’s varsity crew program has since expanded toinclude an increased number of participants alongwith one additional coach, four new racing shellswhich bear the last names of several major donors,life vests, radios and slings and racks for storage.

In preparing to launch its four new Win TechRacing shells out of Red Bank Marina this spring,the varsity crew team spent the fall 2011 season notonly completing 6k tests (about 3.73 miles) onindoor ergs every other week, but also learning anew rowing technique known as sweeping. Whilethe program’s previously rented boats from theNavesink River Rowing Club required that teammembers use two 12-foot oars for sculling,Ranney’s new shells now require one nine-foot oarfor sweeping — a technique more commonly used by col-legiate level crew programs. “This season, our main goalwill be teaching both novice and varsity team members theproper method for sweep rowing,” said Head CoachChristine Repoli. “With help from myself and assistantcoach Josh Prown, our returning varsity rowers are quick-ly adapting to this new technique and we are hoping tocompete in at least two regattas this spring.”

Assistant Coach Josh Prown comes to Ranney with atremendous amount of experience both coaching and row-ing out on the Navesink. According to Director ofAthletics Thomas Moriau, he is a dynamic individual with

a wealth of knowledge that students will undoubtedly ben-efit from. “Josh’s down-to-earth demeanor and coachingability will be very valuable to our rowing program,” saidMoriau.

The sport of crew offers its participants an exceptional,low-impact, full body workout that not only strengthensteam work, but also provides the opportunity for skilledathletes to compete at the collegiate level. While Ranney’screw program has already seen two alumnae, KathrynLowry ’08 and Katherine Rennie ’08, receive Division Iathletic scholarships in rowing, current senior Craig Slaterwill also row for the Harvard University this fall. As soph-omore crew team member Steven Parlamas begins his col-

lege search, he says he too is paying particular atten-tion to those colleges that host competitive crewprograms. “Being a part of my high school crewteam may make all the difference as to whether ornot I gain acceptance at such colleges as theUniversity of Pennsylvania, Brown University orGeorgetown,” said Parlamas.

It is the unyielding support of Ranney parentsthat inspires scholar-athletes to succeed in their ath-letic pursuits. Not only has interest in this compet-itive sport spread throughout Ranney, whose crewteam went from 12 rowers in 2009 to 23 rowers thisspring, but it has also become an increasingly pop-ular program in high schools and colleges across theregion. The purchase of four new boats and otherequipment allows Ranney’s crew program to accom-modate this growing number of participants, pre-senting more opportunities for larger numbers of

students to attend practice sessions out on the river.“Owning our own boats will advance our team to the nextlevel,” said third-year varsity rower Jordan Hesslein ’13.“These boats will allow us to extend our focus beyond justspeed, to both the speed and technique needed to do betterat regattas,” added third-year varsity rower Kendall Torpey’13.

The varsity crew team is grateful to those who havestood behind the team. “This is one of the few sports I fellin love with and because of their generosity, I am nowconfident the crew program will continue to grow in thefuture,” said four-year varsity rower Yasmin Meleis ’12.

By Jim HintelmannWALL - Both St. John Vianney ( SJV) andMiddletown South made three errors apiecein Saturday's Monmouth CountyTournament (MCT) title game, but the dif-ference was that SJV capitalized on theSouth errors while South did not takeadvantage of the SJV miscues.The result was a 4-3 victory for SJV whichgave the Lady Lancers their second straightMCT championship.

SJV won the game with two runs inboth the third and fifth innings to erase a 3-0 South lead."We have a good core of seniors," said SJVCoach Kim Lombardi. "They have to leadus and that is what they do. We talkedabout it during the middle of the game andthey went out and did it." The turningpoint of the game came in the third inningwhen South had a 3-0 lead and the baseswere loaded, but winning pitcher KateBeriont got South's Ally Podrmajersky tohit into a rare 3-2-3 double play to end theinning. "That's what I expect of the girlsin making that double play," saidLombardi. "They are capable of doing it;they kept their composure and got us outof that inning."

South scored all three of its runs in the

third inning. Veronica Zega led off with adouble, moved to third on a sacrifice byTaylor Landis and scored on Grace Heller'sdouble. Jill Troiano, who had three hits inthe game followed with an RBI single andlater scored on an error.With the bases loaded and one out,Podmajerski hit a hard grounder to EricaKrimbine at first base. Krimbine threwhome to catcher Kristin Solari for the sec-ond out and then took the return throw tocomplete the double play and end theinning.

SJV began its comeback with two runsin its half of the third. Two infield errorsand a walk loaded the bases and Solari fol-lowed with a two-run double. "It was acurve ball on the outside," said Solari. "Iwas expecting it and it was right there. Myteam believed in me and I believed inmyself. We play well together." SJV scoredthe deciding two runs in the fifth inninghelped greatly by two South errors.Amanda Durham was safe at first on acatcher's error and stole second and third.She scored when Solari was safe on anoth-er infield error while Solari later scored thego-ahead run on Taylor August's single."The pitch was a little bit inside and I was

looking for it," said August. "There isnothing like being motivated."

South got the leadoff batter on base infive of the seven innings but couldn't con-vert except for the third inning. "They gotthe hits when they needed them," saidSouth Coach Tom Erbig. "We hit the ballwell, made contact and got in position, but

couldn't finish it.We have been playing good defense all year but it was just one ofthose things today."

South's last chance came in the seventhwhen Troiano led off with a single, butBeriont retired the next three batters.Beriont scattered nine hits and walked twobut made the big pitches when needed.

Continued Commitment To Preparation

St. John Vianney Wins 2nd Straight MCT Title

By Mike CelliAs various seasons wind down and our

thoughts turn toward graduations,advancement and career choices, it isimportant to maintain your continuedcommitment to moving for-ward, irrespective of whatstage you are at in your life.You do not have to participatein an organized sport to seethe benefits of its roots for success.The athletic/academic experiences pro-vide a valuable base for almost anyfuture career, particularly in sports orbusiness. Your education continuesthroughout your lives. The qualitiesneeded in business and the characteris-

tics of business activities have theircounterparts on and off the field.

The following are prime examples ofsimilarities regarding the requirementsfor being a professional athlete and

businessperson. The need forpreparation is essential. As aplayer you experience theprocess of learning, practic-ing, physical fitness and men-

tal readiness to play. In business, manyopportunities come up unexpectedly andit is important that you be prepared totake advantage of those opportunitiesand move forward to achieve the goalsthat you have set for yourself.

Keep the game plan in mind. In busi-ness, a plan is always in place,so that all members of the teamknow what is going on and whatthey are supposed to be doingunder different developmental sit-uations. In many cases, the plancan change in response to com-petitive activities. This happensin business frequently and hap-pens on the field continuouslyduring the course of any game.

Businesses establish short-term goals in order to achievetheir ultimate objectives. Infootball, this is known asremembering where the ten- yardmarker ends. Some businesseskeep track of sales on a daily andeven an hourly basis because thatis their "ten- yard marker". It isimportant to know what has tobe done immediately in order tobe able to move forward to thenext goal after crossing themarker and moving to the newobjective.

Congratulations to CoryDowless of East CarolinaUniversity who is a professionalathlete due to his continued com-mitment to preparation. Movethe sticks, move forward andreach the goal.

By Jim GarrettA strong theory is that your arm is a muscle and will gain strength

by throwing the baseball at game speed level. Nolan Ryan who is aHall of Fame pitcher and is now the President of the Texas Rangers,is not a believer in the “pitch count” theory for any of his pitcherson the Ranger’s staff. Most pitchers are evaluated on throwingaround 100 pitches per game. Even their young pitchers in the rook-ie league are not subjected to a pre-determined game pitch count.Nolan Ryan has thrown in his major league career 200 pitches in agame quite a few times and almost always threw well over 100pitches in the majority of his starts.Little league and now high school coaches keep a close eye on the

number of pitches a pitcher throws but they too can increase a pitch-ers number of pitches without the fear that the pitcher will suffer anydamage to his arm. The control of a pitch count during a practicewill build help up a pitcher’s arm strength that will be needed forthat pitcher to complete a game or at least pitch into the later inningsof a game.A fast ball is developed by throwing the fastball in practice contin-

uously to build up the strength needed for a pitcher to compete ingame situations. The only caution in coaching young pitchers iscomplete control of throwing all types of breaking pitches. Thestrain on the elbow of young pitchers who throw a high percentageof breaking pitches can be tremendous and can sometimes lead toending a pitchers career. A young pitcher holding the ball loosewhen throwing his fastball will get a natural movement in his fast-ball. As a young pitcher just starting his career as a pitcher a break-ing pitch is not needed. The fast ball will develop the arm strengthso a young pitcher should stick to that, the fast ball.

By Ted KaiserMIDDLETOWN— After wrap-ping up their first Class A NorthDivision title since 1999, theMiddletown South baseball team isturning its attention to the postsea-son. The Eagles suffered a setbackin the Monmouth CountyTournament as they bowed out inthe quarterfinals with a 2-1 loss torival Christian Brothers Academy.But the Shore ConferenceTournament (SCT) and state tour-nament will provide two moreopportunities for South to thrive.

Last week, the Eagles stayedfresh with a pair of non-divisionalregular season games. They pickedup two wins to move their overallrecord to 17-4. On Wednesday,South toppled Manasquan by ascore of 9-2. The Eagles pouncedfor seven runs in the fifth inningand 13 hits, four for extra bases, onthe afternoon. Junior Piero Vesciopitched and moved to 4-0 on theseason. The next day, the Eaglesdefeated Brick Township 8-3 in

another strong offensive effort.Senior Mike Grossi earned the winon the mound.

In the Shore ConferenceTournament, the fourth seededEagles are set to take on fifth seedManalapan. The Braves are afamiliar opponent and anothermember of the talented Class ANorth Division. Manalapan ralliedpast Rumson/Fair Haven in thepreliminary round to set up thethird meeting between the schoolsthis season. The winner is likely toface fifth seeded Wall in the quar-terfinals.

South Stays Fresh For SCT, States

Pitch Count For Pitchers


As the spring season winds down, it’s agood idea to ask yourself where you standin the recruiting process. Many 2012 grad-uates signed a National Letter of Intent(NLI) during the fall or winter signingperiod. They will be headed off toDivision I and II schools in the fall andtheir recruiting process has come to an end.Additionally, many 2013 graduates havealready verbally committed to DI schools.

Many others 2012 and 2013 athleteshave not signed NLI’s yet, but are in touchwith coaches about the few remainingspots in Divisions I and II or are in touchwith coaches at the Division III or NAIAlevel. These young men and women cansee the light at the end of the tunnel andmay be narrowing their search to a fewschools and finalizing athletic scholarshipsand other financial aid.

Still other athletes haven’t talked to anycoaches, or received just a couple lettersfrom a few. They may be waiting forcoaches to call them. They may not fullyunderstand the recruiting process. Theymay be getting bad information, or theymay have given up.

If you’re in this last category, it’s timefor a reality check. If you are a 2012 grad-uate and have not been in communicationwith a Division I or Division II coach, youwill probably not be playing at the

Division I or Division II level. There arestill opportunities left in Division III andNAIA, but you need to start talking tothose coaches right now if you want toplay.

For 2012 graduates, recruiting is wrap-ping up right now. For 2013 graduates, itis heating up and the end will be herebefore you know it. No matter how goodyou are, if you aren’t on a coach’s radar,you won’t get recruited, period. You mustreach out. It can be intimidating, it can behumbling, but it is what you must do ifyou want to become a college athlete.

There are great opportunities outside ofthe big names in Division I. You canreceive a quality education and compete inthe sport you love. But for now – under-stand that the recruiting window is startingto close, and if you don’t pry it open andjump through it now, you’ll be left outsidelooking in.
