THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BOROUGH —
The Panther boys lacrosse
team claimed the first win of
the new varsity program on
Monday. They hosted a
young Long Branch team,
beating them 4-1 in front of
an ecstatic home crowd.
Head coach Guy Lassen
held on to the game ball and
plans to write on it to com-
memorate the program’s first
win.
“Hopefully this is the first
of many wins,” he said with a
smile after the game.
In the first quarter of the
game, the two teams were
evenly matched. After five
minutes of play Long Branch
struck gold first with the first
goal of the contest.
The Panthers were not
phased by the early goal and
slowly started gaining mo-
mentum. Unlike their other
games this season, Point Boro
found itself on offense more
than defense.
This led to a goal from jun-
ior Darian Healy with 58 sec-
onds left in the first quarter.
Healy brought the ball across
goal around eight yards out
and took a small left-handed
jump shot that found its way
past the Long Branch goalie.
The goal evened out the
score at one and the first
quarter came to a close.
In the second quarter,
Point Boro was dominating
on offense but had trouble
finding the net against Long
Branch’s goalie. Some shots
were either right at him or
did not have enough power
to be a challenging shot.
“When we got the ball on
offense we got a lot of shots,

POINT BORO 10 SOFTBALL BARNEGAT 4
Panthers top Bengals in home opener
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
The Point Boro softball team
played its home opener last
Thursday and batted their
way to a 10-4 victory over the
visiting Barnegat Bengals.
On the mound for the Pan-
thers was senior Amanda Ca-
puto, who finished the day
with five strikeouts.
Point Boro opened the first
inning on defense securing
two outs on ground balls
from the Bengals. Barnegat
produced some offense,
eventually posting two runs
on an overthrown ball by
Point Boro. Caputo closed
out the inning with a strike-
out and the Panthers had
their first opportunity at bat.
Dani Payton began the in-
ning with a groundout to the
third baseman, but the Pan-
thers then loaded the bases
on three singles from the
next three batters. Up next
for Point Boro was Liv
Youngman, who hit a single
in the gap between the first
and second basemen and
scored two runs to even out
the score.
Jamie Morris then hit a fly
ball to right field just out of
reach of Barnegat’s outfielder
to drive in another run for
the Panthers.
After Barnegat’s pitcher
struck out the next batter, Bri
Alexander of Point Boro
made contact to bring in two
more runs. Alexander tried to
stretch the hit into a double
and was snagged at second,
but the two runs were al-
ready in and the Panthers
found themselves up 5-2
heading into the second in-
ning.
“We got down in that first
inning by a couple runs,” said
Boro coach Steve Ferullo. “I
was happy to see the kids
come right back in the bot-
tom of the first inning and
score five runs and take the
lead.”
The second and third in-
nings were quiet as both de-
fenses kept any runners from
adding any more runs to their
total. Caputo struck out two
more batters in the process
and the Panther defense was
doing a good job of executing
routine plays and getting
much-needed outs.
In the top of the fourth in-
ning, Point Boro found itself
in a small jam as the Bengals
batted in a run before the
Panthers were able to secure
the third out.
The Panthers then went
back to work on offense.
Catcher Melissa Alfonso was
up to bat with a runner on
second and one out. She
made a solid connection with
the ball, launching a fly ball
to left field. She drove in one
run for the Panthers and the
hit was good enough for a
double.
The Bengals quickly right-
ed themselves and recorded
the next two outs on routine
ground balls.
In the top of the fifth in-
ning, Alfonso showed she
also knows how to play de-
fense. A Barnegat player tried
to steal second after getting
on first off of a single to third.
Alfonso threw a frozen rope
from home to second with
plenty of time to make the tag
and secure the first out of the
inning.
“I felt really good. I knew it
was a pitch up and that once
I saw her going, I knew I
could easily throw her out,”
stated Alfonso. “I just came
right across and made sure I
hit my target on that.”
The Panthers got the next
two outs with a three-pitch
strikeout from Caputo and a
ground ball to first base.
Point Boro did not gener-
ate any offense in the bottom
of the fifth. The team did re-
turn the favor in the sixth in-
ning, though, taking down
the first three batters for an-
other chance to increase its
lead.
In the bottom of the sixth
the Panthers batted in four
more runs. The first run
came on Alfonso’s second
double of the day, this time
all the way out to center field.
The other runs came from
Point Boro getting on base
and then hitting singles to
keep advancing runners. The
Barnegat Bengals were able
to manage the final out of the
inning on a ground ball hit
back to the pitcher.
The contest moved to the
seventh inning, and with the
Panthers up 10-3, the Bengals
needed to tie or take the lead
to stay alive.
With Caputo still on the
mound, Point Boro’s defense
finished the job. The first bat-
ter got on base off a bunt but
was then out at second after
the next batter hit a single.
Caputo then walked the next
batter and the Bengals were
slowly picking up momen-
tum.
The next batter popped up
a fly ball to center field and
even though the Panthers did
not catch it, they managed to
throw the ball into second to
get the second out of the in-
ning.
One stolen base later, the
Bengals had runners on sec-
ond and third and a single to
center field brought in a run.
Up 10-4 with runners on
the corners, the Panthers
were looking for the final out
of the game. It came in the
form of a line drive down the
third-base line, which was
snagged by third baseman
Alli Blisnuk to claim the 10-4
victory.
After losing their first
game of the season, Ferullo
and his team were proud of
the way they performed
against Barnegat.
Ferullo thought Caputo did
a tremendous job on the
mound even when put in
some tight situations.
“She threw the first three
or four innings real good, I
thought. They didn’t hit the
ball real hard on her,” ex-
plained Ferullo. “She started
to labor a little bit and got a
couple people on base. We
got out of the jam and she
came back after that. I
thought her sixth and seventh
inning wasn’t bad.”
The defense was strong for
the Panthers in the win,
which led to opportunities at
the plate — and they capital-
ized on those often.
“I’m really proud of our de-
fense today. Amanda did a
great job pitching, she hit all
of her spots and she threw
them right where I called
them,” said Alfonso. “We’re
getting better each day, I
think, and as the season goes
on I think we’ll clean up even
more.”
Point Boro also did a good
job of not letting any mis-
takes keep them from playing
their game.
According to Ferullo, one
thing he wants to improve on
is not leaving runners on
base when the Panthers are
batting. He says if they can
knock in those runners and
complete innings, the team
will see wins as the season
progresses.
Alfonso agrees and also
pointed out their ability to re-
cover from errors, saying,
“Some of the mistakes we
made we were able to recov-
er from. We were able to
keep them down with our de-
fense and our pitching so we
could come back and go on
offense.”
Alfonso finished the day
with two doubles, a single,
and two RBIs.
“Lately I’ve been a little off.
I haven’t been hitting as solid
as I’ve wanted to and getting
the best contact, but I’ve
been trying to keep in mind
everything I’ve been taught,
and to stay level through the
ball and let it travel so it can
get to me so that I can get as
solid of contact as possible,”
stated Alfonso. “So on those
two doubles I really felt that I
came through the ball a lot
better and stayed level with
it.”
Ferullo was proud of Al-
fonso’s performance and said
the hard work she has been
putting in with batting prac-
tice is coming through. He
likes having her bat third in
the lineup, especially if they
already have runners on base.
Ferullo just hopes that the
consistency remains through-
out the season.
“When she stays level with
the ball, they are hard line
shots. That’s the way she hits.
It’s just consistency we need
to get.”
Ferullo also said he was
proud of the plays his young
team was able to make on de-
fense to keep their lead
throughout the seven innings
of play.
The Point Boro softball
team then went on to face
Central Regional on the road
Tuesday.
They lost by a score of 7-0
and only recorded two hits.
They also committed three
errors in the loss. The Pan-
thers move to 1-2 on the sea-
son.
Point Boro will play Lake-
wood at home today. The
game is scheduled for an 11
a.m. start.
The Panthers’ next game is
on the road against Brick
Township. The game is
scheduled for tomorrow at 10

Point Boro tops Scarlet Fliers in five inningsBY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
The Panthers found their
first win of the season when
they took on the Neptune
Scarlet Fliers at home Satur-
day morning.
The wind was out in full
force, sometimes carrying the
ball in unexpected directions,
but the Panthers did not let
the weather play a role in
their game as they topped
Neptune 17-7 in five innings
of play.
On the mound to start the
game was Point Boro’s
Michael Falconetti. He start-
ed the first inning hot, strik-
ing out the first two batters
Neptune offered up. Point
Boro then gave up a single
and a double, which gave
Neptune a one-run lead —
their only lead of the game.
The Panthers got the third
out on a fly ball to center
field to close out the top of
the inning down 1-0.
The Panther bats were
alive and they quickly put up
four runs as Neptune record-
ed two outs. Point Boro was
not finished, though, as sen-
ior Quinn Hornish found his
way to the batter’s box.
With a teammate on sec-
ond, Hornish destroyed a
pitch from the Scarlet Flier
pitcher, sending a long ball
over the left-field fence.
“The home run felt good
off the hands,” said Hornish.
“It was 2-0 [the count], so I
was looking to take a big cut.”
The Panther squad crowd-
ed home plate to congratu-
late Hornish as he rounded
the bases for home, giving
them a 6-1 lead.
“Last thing we wanted to-
day was another tough ball
game because that’s what
we’ve been in the last couple
of games,” said head coach
David Drew. “They’re up one
nothing — we have to an-
swer.”
Hornish’s two-run home
run definitely ignited a spark
in the Panthers because they
never gave up their first in-
ning lead.
“I’m very happy for Quinn.
He puts a lot of time in and
From the first time Dari-
an Healy picked up a
lacrosse stick, he was
hooked.
“One of my best friends
started playing it in the
summer,” said the junior
Panther. “I played with him
one time and I took the
stick, and I was just instant-
ly in love. I love the sport —
I love playing.”
Since that summer, Healy
has dedicated much of his
time to working on the
sport and his skills.
Unfortunately he suffered
a knee injury while playing
lacrosse last year when the
program only consisted of a
junior varsity team.
It was toward the end of
the season, and put Healy
out of commission for eight
months and homeschooled
for two.
“I did about four or five
months of physical therapy.
Every day I was just work-
ing it,” said Healy. “When I
was not even going to phys-
ical therapy I would go
home and stretch.”
He was eventually
cleared two weeks before
this year’s tryouts and im-
mediately got back to
lacrosse.
“Coming into the field
and stepping on the field
for the first time since my
surgery, it was definitely an
eye-opener that the varsity
program is definitely a lot
more competitive and phys-
ical,” said Healy. “We’re go-
ing to have to step it up this
year if we want more wins.”
Without missing a beat,
Healy fell right back into
the sport he loves.
On Monday, Point Boro
hosted Long Branch, anoth-
er young lacrosse team. The
Panthers walked away vic-
torious and Healy finished
with two of the four goals
for Point Boro.
Despite his two-goal per-
formance, Healy was
adamant about his team
more than anything.
He hopes this first win
will be the start of some-
thing big, saying, “I think
this will be the starting
point of this varsity pro-
gram. I feel like over time
with the practice, with
coach Lassen and the rest of
the program, we’ll really ex-
cel as a team and get more
wins.”
Healy is ready for the rest
of the season and excited to
improve the Point Boro
boys lacrosse program.

he works hard,” said Drew. “I
was telling him in the cage
earlier, ‘I’ve seen quicker
hands than that.’ Then he got
up to bat and showed how
quick his hands really are.”
Neptune was able to pre-
vent further damage by strik-
ing out Panther Sean Connor
and keeping the score at 6-1.
In the top of the second in-
ning, the Scarlet Fliers
showed they knew how to hit
just as well as Point Boro.
They batted in three runs in
the inning but got a little bit
too greedy as the final out
came when a Neptune player
tried to stretch a play to
home and could not beat the
tag.
The Panthers went back to
work from the batter’s box
getting runners on second
and third. Sebatian Severio of
Point Boro then hit a line
drive to right field, scoring
two more runs. The hit was
good enough for a double
and the Neptune coach made
his way to the mound to
bring in a different pitcher.
With an 8-4, lead the Pan-
thers did not let a new pitch-
er keep them from contacting
the ball. They batted in three
more runs off of a double
from Mark Leyble and a dou-
ble from Falconetti to in-
crease their lead to 11-4.
In the top of the third in-
ning, Neptune put two run-
ners on base to start, but then
the Panther defense stepped
up getting the three outs
without letting any Scarlet
Fliers score.
Neptune then took care of
the Panthers’ first three bat-
ters in the bottom of the in-
ning and got back to work on
offense. This time, the Fliers
were facing a new pitcher
from Point Boro, sophomore
Josiah Gliddon.
Gliddon and the Panthers
secured the first two outs be-
fore Gliddon found himself in
a bit of a jam. After walking a
batter, the next three hit dou-
bles, driving in three runs for
Neptune. The young pitcher
collected himself and struck
out the next batter on four
pitches to end the top of the
fourth.
Point Boro did not produce
any runs with its turn at bat.
The Panthers also kept Nep-
tune from scoring any more
in the top of the fifth inning.
With another shot on of-
fense, the Panthers really
opened up the lead in the
bottom of the fifth to the tune
of a 17-7 victory.
In the bottom of the final
inning, the Panthers took ad-
vantage of some errant Nep-
tune throws bringing in four
more runs. Neptune then
brought in its third pitcher of
the game in an effort to keep
Point Boro from scoring the
two runs needed to end the
game on the 10-run mercy
rule.
With men on second and
third, Leyble popped one up
to the shortstop for the first
out of the inning. The Scarlet
Flier pitcher then walked the
next batter, loading the bases
with Panther runners. Pinch
hitter Gene Franceschini then
hit a single, but Neptune was
able to get its second out at
home plate, keeping the score
15-7.
In a calm ending to a game
with a lot of offense, Neptune
walked the next two Point
Boro batters, giving the Pan-
thers a 17-7 win.
“Our first two games, we
played tough competition,”
Drew said after the win at
home. “Today, Neptune was
hitting the ball around a little
bit; it was a great game and
we got to them at the end of
it.”
Drew was proud of the way
both his pitchers threw dur-
ing the win, saying, “They’re
improving every day. They’re
getting better. We have to be
better with two strike counts,
but we’re getting better.”
Falconetti, a junior, said he
had a lot of faith in his de-
fense to help him when he
was not striking batters out.
He was pleased with the win
at home, saying, “It feels good
to get my first win, the first
win of the season. It feels
good to get it at home, too.”
Falconetti also says he will
continue to work hard and
improve his game as the sea-
son continues. He finished
the day with four strikeouts
in three innings.
Hornish is happy about the
win and the team’s effort on
offense.
“Hitting is coming around,
it’s the beginning of the sea-
son,” said Hornish. “We start-
ed a little slow. We scored 17
today, though, so hitting is
coming along.”
PANTHERS DROP TWO
The Panther win at home
came after a loss in their
home opener to Barnegat.
The Panthers lost 6-1 last
Thursday after the game was
tied 1-1 through the first five
innings. Barnegat posted a
five-run sixth inning and the
Panthers were unable to an-
swer with any offense of their
own. Bill Feehan doubled for
an RBI and Sam Monoco was
two-for-four in the loss.
Following the game against
Neptune, the Panthers took
on Central Regional on the
road Tuesday morning. The
Panthers lost a close game 4-
2.
Point Boro earned a one-
run lead in the third inning,
which Central evened out in
the fifth inning.
With the game still tied in
the bottom of the sixth in-
ning, Central posted another
three runs to give the team a
4-1 lead over the Panthers.
In the seventh and final in-
ning, with one more chance
to take the lead, Point Boro
only managed one more run
to fall short of Central Re-
gional’s lead.
The Panthers are now 1-3
on the season.
Point Boro will host Lake-
wood high school today with
the game scheduled for 11

PRAYER TO
ST. JUDEO Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faith-
ful intercessor of all who invoke your
special patronage in time of need, to
you I have recourse from the depth of
my heart and humbly beg to whom
God has given such great power to
come to my assistance. Help me in
my present and urgent petition. In
return, I promise to make your name
known and cause you to be invoked.
Say three Our Fathers, three Hail
Marys and Glorias. Publication must
be promised. St. Jude pray for us all
who invoke your aid. Amen. This
Novena has never been known to fail.
This Novena must be said for 9 con-
secutive days. WW
Rose is as good as it gets.”
Point Beach came out fir-
ing, as they put up six runs in
their first at bat. Mike
Frauenheim led off with a
single to left field and the
Gulls proceeded to bat their
way through the order. They
took advantage of errors in
the field committed by St.
Rose, batting in two runs be-
fore the Purple Roses got the
first out of the inning. The
Gulls hit in four more runs
before St. Rose managed the
final out.
On the defensive end in the
bottom of the second was an-
other strong performance
from the Gulls.
VanSchoick walked the
first batter but then struck
out the next in four pitches.
The next two outs came on
infield grounders off the bats
of the next two St. Rose bat-
ters.
In the second inning, Point
Beach added two more runs
to its total. One run came off
a double from VanSchoick,
who was just as strong with
bat as he was on the mound.
The second run came on a
single from Andrew Allegret-
ta.
In the bottom of the sec-
ond, St. Rose came its closest
to putting a run on the board.
With a man on second, the
Purple Roses hit a double.
The runner on second made
his way to third and tried to
stretch the play out to home.
The Gulls, using their cutoffs,
made the throws from right
field to home plate where
catcher Ryan Franzoni made
the tag for the run-saving out.
The next batter then
grounded out to second and
VanSchoick walked another
to put St. Rose runners on
first and second.
Sticking to his pitching
game, VanSchoick then pro-
ceeded to strike out the next
batter in three straight pitch-
es for the final out of the in-
ning.
VanSchoick said his mind-
set is simple in those situa-
tions: “I just want to get the
out and start hitting.”
The third inning was quiet
for both teams. No runs were
scored, but VanSchoick
recorded another strikeout.
The fourth inning was dif-
ferent, though, and the Gar-
net Gulls poured in three
more runs. Point Beach had
men on second and third
when Allegretta hit a strong
grounder to third base.
The ball traveled between
the legs of the St. Rose third
baseman and under the glove
of the left fielder. Allegretta
made his way to second and
the hit drove in two runs.
The third run came follow-
ing a fly ball to center field
off the bat of Joe Delgrippo.
The Purple Roses finally
managed the third out and
Point Beach was up 11-0.
St. Rose did not produce
any offense with its turn at
bat and VanSchoick struck
out two more batters.
The Purple Roses did what
they intended on defense in
the top of the fifth, not allow-
ing any more runs for the
Gulls.
All the Gulls had to do was
keep the Purple Roses from
scoring and the game would
be over. The first out came in
the form of a diving catch
from Frauenheim in the out-
field.
The Purple Roses had two
men on base before the Gulls
snagged the second out off of
a line drive to third base.
With St. Rose runners at first
and second, the final batter
hit a ground ball to the short
stop, who casually tossed it to
second base for the final out
of the game and the shutout
win.
“That’s a great win for us,
and Johnny VanSchoick did a
great job against a great
team,” Fiore said after the
game.
VanSchoick finished with
five strikeouts but also pro-
duced on the offensive side of
the ball. He had two doubles,
a single, and two RBIs in
three at bats.
“I’ve actually been in a lit-
tle bit of a slump right now
but I think this game kind of
broke it out for me,” Van-
Schoick said about his per-
formance.
Fiore was proud of his
team and happy they got out
to an early lead, saying, “We
live with the phrase ‘early
and often.’ We get on them
early and stay on them often.
We just kept going and go-
ing.”
According to Fiore, this is
the first time St. Rose has
been “10-runned” since enter-
ing the B Central division.
The Gulls did not commit
any errors in the win.
“Our defense has been real
sharp this year,” said Van-
Schoick. “No errors is big —
that’s what we need to win
games, so we did a good job.”
POINT BEACH VS. KEYPORT
The Garnet Gulls were
coming off of a close game
against Keyport last Thurs-
day. They took the 2-1 victory
in extra innings behind 13
strikeouts from VanSchoick.
“Johnny VanSchoick threw
all eight innings. The game
wasn’t as close as the score
indicated,” Fiore said. “The
thing about it was that we
couldn’t get the timely hit.
These guys kept their heads
in the game, kept making rou-
tine plays, they stayed behind
Johnny and he threw an out-
standing game.”
VanSchoick was happy the
team pulled out the win, say-
ing, “It was long, but we got
through it. We battled
through it.”
Frauenheim finished with
an RBI and Delgrippo had
three hits in four at bats, as
well as one RBI.
With the wins, Point Beach
is 3-0 to open up the season.
They were supposed to host
Mater Dei yesterday but the
game was postponed until
further notice due to in-
clement weather.
The Garnet Gulls’ next
game is on Monday against
Ranney. The game is away
and scheduled to start at 4
p.m.

The 2015 New Jersey State
Interscholastic Athletic Asso-
ciation [NJSIAA] Advisory
Committee met on April 1 and
moved some proposals as pre-
sented by the membership.
These proposals will then be
presented to the NJSIAA Ex-
ecutive Committee on May 6
for a full vote.
The two important propos-
als that were moved at the
meeting were the proposal for
a non-public football confer-
ence, which would consist of
all non-public school mem-
bers that participate in foot-
ball, and the other proposal is
an amendment to the 30-day
transfer rule.
The recommendation that
the non-public football pro-
grams get their own 37-team
conference stems from the
idea of a competitive imbal-
ance with public schools. The
imbalance recently led the Big
North Conference athletic di-
rectors to allow four public
schools to refuse to play non-
public powerhouses Don
Bosco Prep, Bergen Catholic
and St. Joseph’s-Montvale.
This also is not the first
time the NJSIAA has fielded a
proposal like this before. In
2007, it was suggested to sepa-
rate the public and non-public
football programs, but that
was voted down.
As for the transfer rule pro-
posal, it would make it so var-
sity athletes that transfer
would have to sit for 30 days
and would not be allowed to
participate it the state tourna-
ment with their new team un-
less the transfer is from one
public school to another, as
long as it’s not an open-enroll-
ment school and there is a le-
gitimate change of address.
Non-varsity athletes would
not have to sit out at all if they
transfer, and all decisions are
final with no appeal system.
The proposal comes about
due to the amount of transfers
that happen in the offseason,
which some have referred to
as “free agency.” This is also
not the first time a recom-
mendation to strengthen the
transfer rule has come about,
but other attempts have been
in vain.
So are these proposals for
the greater good?
Let’s start with the transfer
rule. A lot of transferring has
been going on throughout the
state of New Jersey as players
jump from school to school.
Schools bring in multiple ath-
letes in an effort to increase
their competitiveness.
This leads to the idea of
high school coaches going out
and recruiting players, some-
thing that is not allowed but
something that coaches have
been accused of in the past.
The new transfer rule,
while not ridding transfers en-
tirely, would definitely make
players and their families con-
template the change a bit
more critically. No one could
transfer in an effort to add a
state title to their resume after
playing three years as the best
player on a team that never
makes it past the second
round of the state tournament.
According to the NJSIAA,
“This proposal will be pre-
sented to the executive com-
mittee by the public/non pub-
lic committee at the May
executive meeting for the ‘fast
track’ approval process by the
executive committee in May
and June. If passed at both
meetings it could go into ef-
fect July 1, 2015. If approved
the full membership would
have the opportunity to vote,
six months after implementa-
tion.”
That basically means it
would affect this year’s fall
sport season. Another result
that might transpire if the
change is implemented is a
frenzy of transfers trying to
switch schools before the rule
goes into effect. It remains to
be seen, as the proposal works
its way through the NJSIAA
system.
In terms of the division of
non-public and public football
programs, the only real bene-
fit is for those public schools
to not get beat to a pulp by
their private school oppo-
nents year after year.
And to be honest, the prob-
lem really only lies in north
Jersey where the teams men-
tioned earlier dominate the
area. It seems a bit much for
the whole state to adapt the
change.
I mean, where is the drive
for competition? Where is the
hunger for a challenge? What
athlete doesn’t want the op-
portunity to dethrone a sea-
son-to-season powerhouse?
On one hand, the division
could lead to a competitive
and aggressive non-public
conference. Scratch that — it
will lead to a competitive and
aggressive non-public confer-
ence.
But the proposal does have
a portion that says non-public
and public programs can still
dabble in non-conference
play, but it is at the discretion
of each school. So this can
lead to a non-public school
scheduling an easy tune-up
game against a weaker public
school opponent. Spin it the
other way, and it could be an
avenue for a public program
to take on the challenge of a
stronger non-public oppo-
nent. Regardless, it still leaves
a more dominant conference
[the non-public] and a lesser
“junior varsity” type confer-
ence [the public].
Another downside for the
non-public schools from the
Shore Conference would be
increased travel expenses. In-
stead of facing off against a
public rival down the road,
they have to travel to another
non-public school to play a
game that might not draw too
much interest from the local
crowd. Small crowds mean
low ticket sales, which will
eventually lead to complaints
about decreased revenue.
The final point I want to
highlight is that if this is put
into action, it can be opening a
can of worms. If the football
programs get divided, why not
basketball? How about
wrestling? I think the problem
should be solved area by area
as opposed to statewide.
In any case, this particular
proposal wouldn’t come up
for an official vote until De-
cember, which would mean it
would come into play for the
2016 football season.
Change can be scary, but it
can also be beneficial. One
can only know which is true if
these reforms are put into ac-
tion and tested. Sometimes a
change is all that’s needed.

OVERTIME BY DOMINICK POLLIO
Possible changes for high school football
RBIs, and the Gulls
claimed their second win of
the season.
Point Beach then had an-
other B Central matchup on
Tuesday morning. They
squared off against St. Rose
on the road where the Gulls
lost a close game 5-4.
The Garnet Gulls jumped
out to an early lead, batting in
three runs in the top of the
first inning.
The Purple Roses an-
swered during their turn at
bat in the form of a two-run
home run from Brianna Mc-
Carren before the Point
Beach defense was able to get
three outs.
In the third inning, the
Gulls added one more run to
take a 4-2 lead. On defense,
they kept St. Rose scoreless.
The score remained the
same through the third,
fourth, and top of the fifth in-
nings.
In the bottom of the fifth,
St. Rose came alive and tied
the game with two more
runs.
The sixth inning was
scoreless for both teams and
in the top of the seventh,
Point Beach tried to generate
some offense but could not
score any more runs against a
tough St. Rose defense.
In the bottom of the final
inning, McCarren led off the
Purple Roses with a single.
She then advanced to second
on a Garnet Gull error. Bryn
Onoshko of St. Rose then hit
a walk-off single that scored
McCarren and took the win
for St. Rose.
Kells pitched for the Gar-
net Gulls and struck out six
batters. On offense, Alexa
Russell went one-for-two
with a double and an RBI.
The Gulls were supposed
to play Mater Dei at home
yesterday, but the game was
postponed due to inclement
weather. As of press time a
new date has not been set for
the makeup game.
Point Beach’s next game is
on Monday against Ranney
on the road. The game is
scheduled for a 4 p.m. start.

but we need to learn how to

Lassen. “A lot of us shot the ball
without moving our feet, we
shot the ball on our back foot.”
With 3:35 left in the first half,
Point Boro’s Ray Ruffini was
called for a slashing foul that
carries a one-minute penalty.
With Long Branch up a man,
they quickly went to work at-
tacking the Panther goal.
The defense stood strong
and goalie Ryan Beedle made
two critical saves before the
penalty was up to keep the
score knotted at one apiece.
Just as the one-minute
penalty was up, the Panthers
quickly went back on the of-
fensive. Panther Cullen Zawac-
ki, who was sitting in front of
Long Branch’s crease, received
a pass, turned and shot as he
fell to his stomach. The low
shot snuck its way past the
goalie and Point Boro had its
first lead of the game.
The first half closed out with
the Panthers up 2-1.
During the half Lassen of-
fered advice to his players. He
wanted them to improve their
shooting to make it more diffi-
cult for the goalie to make
saves.
“After each game what we
try to do in practice is work on
everything that we need to im-
prove on. Last game we had a
hard time clearing the ball, so
we practiced a lot of clearing,”
said Lassen. “Now, as you see
by watching this game, it’s our
shooting. We act like the ball is
a grenade. We have to be pa-
tient, you know, put a couple
fakes in.”
The third quarter began and
both teams were looking for
another score. Long Branch
was after the tie and Point Boro
wanted to further increase its
lead.
The Panther defense was in
good form and generated a lot
of turnovers during the win.
“I had my long poles push
out more — I wanted them to
engage,” explained Lassen.
“Usually we protect the hole in
the middle, but I had them
press out and that created a lot
of turnovers.”
Defense leads to offense and
with six minutes left in the
quarter, Healy netted his sec-
ond goal of the game from 10
yards out.
Four minutes later, Kyler
Rossi found the net with an as-
sist from Zanacki to further in-
crease the Panther lead.
Up 4-1, all the Panthers had
to do was continue to stay
sound on defense and maintain
possession. Point Boro did just
that through the 12 minutes of
the final quarter and they
claimed their first win of the
boys varsity lacrosse program.
Healy was proud of the team
win, saying, “Coming into this
game hearing that they won
their last game put us on the
edge. Last year we played them
and we won, so we didn’t want
to lose against them as varsity
team. We definitely played as
hard as we could. Everyone put
110 percent in and we came out
with the win.”
Lassen, while happy with the
program’s first win, pointed
out the need to improve cer-
tain aspects of the Panthers’
game and the need to stay hun-
gry.
“For the program — for the
first win this is an amazing
thing, but as I tell my players,
you can’t be satisfied,” stated
Lassen. “Never be satisfied be-
cause you can always get better
— you can always be improv-
ing. We got away with a win to-
day. We didn’t play well, but a
win is a win.”
Lassen was specifically re-
ferring to the many shots taken
by the Panthers that did not
find their way into or near the
net.
“That’s just inexperience
and that’s what is going to hap-
pen with an inexperienced
program; you just have to be
patient with it,” Lassen ex-
plained. “We’re a new pro-
gram. We just have to work
harder now at practice to get
our shots set.
“Once again, these are all
things that can be corrected, so
I think there’s a bright future
for us here,” he added.
The team was happy after
the game and celebrated the
win on the field after the final
whistle blew.
“I’m happy that we finally
got a win,” said Healy. “It’ll
show the other teams out there
that we are here to stay.”
The win came at an oppor-
tune time as Point Boro was
coming off a loss on the road to
Lacey. Last Thursday, Lacey
put in 14 goals while the Pan-
thers only managed one. It was
Point Boro’s third loss in three
games.
The Panthers went on to
face Middletown North on the
road Wednesday. Point Boro
lost by a score of 11-2.
After falling behind 4-0 in
the first half, the Panthers man-
aged two goals in the third
quarter.
Middletown North never
stopped scoring, though, put-
ting up six goals in the third
quarter and one more in the
fourth.
The Panthers’ next game is
at home against Donovan
Catholic. The game is sched-
uled to start at 4 p.m.
Always improving

It was the windiest open-
ing day of trout season that I
can ever remember but that
didn’t stop the trout from bit-
ing in Spring Lake, setting
the stage for another phe-
nomenal Shark River Surf
Anglers Kid’s Trout Contest.
This is the largest kid’s trout
fishing contest anywhere in
the state.
It is open to anyone 15-
years-old and younger. The
Grand Prize Winner was
Kevin Hoffman, age 11, from
Jackson who caught a 10
pound, 3 ounce brown trout
on a rainbow spinner. This
brown trout was a true tro-
phy fish and thanks to the
SRSA many kids caught huge
trout making for a memory
of a lifetime.
On Saturday Kevin’s mom
Maureen said, “Kevin is not a
young man of few words and
he is so excited he is still
telling his fishing tale, as is
his Dad, despite being up
since 4 a.m. It was an amaz-
ing day. I asked Kevin what
was it like when he caught
the trout, how he felt about
winning, and all the people
that gathered around him
and that big beautiful trophy.
He said, "Oh my god, he's
huge, this is such a rush. I'm
glad I came out. A thrill and a
rush of complete total fun."
Other winners were: 0-5

Puorro, 5, Rainbow, 4 pounds,

Many thanks to SRSA
members, Greg Hueth SRSA
Tournament Director, and all
the sponsors who made for
such a special day for all our
kids and families together.
Hueth said, “Just a great day
for kids, parents and grand-
parents to learn and enjoy a
day of fishing. Everyone
seemed to have fun and
enjoyed the day. Looking for-
ward to next year. I would
also like thank our sponsors
for their support. They are
the ones that help make this
day a great success. Could
not do it without them.”
For trout season this year
the Division of Fish and
Wildlife stocked some
570,000 rainbow trout across
the state throughout the
spring, with 200,000 in the
water that were ready to be
hooked on opening day. This
year all designated trout
waters are being stocked
exclusively with rainbow
trout. The Pequest Hatchery
is shifting to more intensive
production of rainbow trout,
which is resistant to furuncu-
losis, a disease common in
cold water fish species that
impacted brown and brook
trout reared at the Warren
County hatchery. This issue
limited stocking in some of
New Jersey’s trout waters
last year.
Daily bag limits for rain-
bow trout are April 4 to May
31, six trout measuring at
least nine inches. From June 1
to December 31, four trout
measuring at least nine inch-
es. To fish for trout a valid
annual New Jersey fishing
license and trout stamp are
both required for residents at
least 16 years old and less
than 70 years of age, plus all
non-residents 16 years and
older. Fees are Resident fish-
ing license ages 16-64 years
$22.50; Sr. Resident Fishing
ages 65-69 years $12.50,
Resident Trout Stamp $10.50,
Non-Resident Fishing ages 16
and up $34.00, Non-Resident
Trout Stamp $20.00.
During the season the
Manasquan, Metedeconk and
Toms rivers will be stocked
on Mondays April 6, 13, 20, 2
and May 4, 11 and 18. Fishing
will be closed from 5 a.m. to 5
p.m. on these in-season
stocking dates. Spring Lake
will be stocked three times
during the season by the
State but not closed to fish-
ing. Mac’s Pond will also be
stocked but just for opening
day. The trout stocking hot-
line is 609-633-6765.
Bob over at Fishermen’s
Den in Belmar reports “Wow
we finally had a winter floun-
der brought in. No stripers
seen yet but that's another
story. Trout are the bright
spot on the fishing front with
big fish in Spring Lake. Adam
Waskis from Port Reading
weighed in a 5 pounds, 15
ounces tiger trout caught on
orange power bait.
This was the largest we
weighed in. The offshore
fishing is good with cod up to
30 pounds being caught.
Captain Ryan of the
Jamaica II out of Brielle
reports “We are sailing the
usual schedule 12 hour
departing 5 a.m. every
Wednesday, Saturday and
Sunday.”

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT — The Point
Boro girls lacrosse team is
still in search of a win.
Last Thursday, the Pan-
thers faced off against power-
house St. Rose at home. The
Purple Roses came up with
the 16-5 victory.
In the first half, St. Rose
found the net nine times. The
Panthers managed three
goals before the half came to
a close.
The second half was the
same story as the Purple Ros-
es netted seven more goals
and Point Boro only added
two more to their total.
Nicole Favato and Tori Za-
ccheo led the way for the
Panthers with two goals
apiece. Favato also had an as-
sist in the loss.
Jane Bowden finished with
a goal and teammate Lauren
Onnembo finished with an
assist.
For the Purple Roses, Caro-
line Burns finished the day
with seven goals and two as-
sists for a total of nine points.
In goal for the Panthers
was senior Liz Peled. She
recorded 15 saves in the loss.
The girls lacrosse team
then went on to face Shore
Regional at home on Tuesday
morning.
Shore, which has only lost
one game so far this season,
defeated the Panthers 16-1.
The Blue Devils jumped
out to a commanding lead in
the first half as they scored 13
goals. Favato scored the only
goal for Point Boro in the
first half.
In the second half, the Blue
Devils added three more to
their total and walked away
with the win.
Peled had three saves in
the loss.
Leading the way for Shore
Regional was Lauren Britton
who finished with four goals
and four assists.
The Panthers move to 0-4
on the season but are still
working hard to claim their
first win since the beginning
of the 2013 season.
Point Boro’s next game is
tonight against Holmdel high
school. The game is away and
scheduled for a 5 p.m. start.
