THE OCEAN STAR
BARNEGAT — Point Pleasant
Borough matched up against
the Barnegat Bengals in Sat-
urday’s quad match. They
took down the host team
with a decisive, 50-19 victory.
“We started in the 170-
pound weight class and
everyone wrestled well,”
coach Pat Brady said about
the win. “The lower weight
classes really came through
and everyone was out attack-
ing and trying to get points
for the team.”
The Panthers’ two-time
state qualifier, Dan Nobbs,
picked up his 100th career
win during the match in the
127-pound weight class, an
exciting moment for him and
the team.
“He is a great kid,” said
Brady. “Both on and off the
mat.”
BORO DEFEATS LACEY
Point Boro also claimed a
comfortable victory over
Lacey Township at Saturday’s
quad match.
The Panthers won by a
score of 49-20, with only 12
points coming from forfeits.
Boro jumped out with a
solid 24-point lead with for-
feits by Lacey in the 182- and
220-pound weight classes,
and pins by Boro in the
heavyweight and 195-pound
weight classes.
Josh Vitale of Point Boro
pinned his opponent in the
second period of the 195-
pound bout, while Dominic
Infante won the heavyweight
bout by pin with two seconds
left in the third period.
The Lacey Lions recorded
their first team points when
Boro’s Ben Sabo lost by deci-
sion in the 106-pound bout.
The Panthers kept going
strong, though, with Blake
Dale, Dylan Davies, and
Nobbs winning the 113-, 120-
and 126-pound weight class-
es, respectively, and increas-
ing their lead 37-3.
Coach Brady was definitely
excited about his wrestlers’
performance.

BELMAR — Last time Point
Boro and St. Rose faced off
on the ice, no victor was
named as the teams tied 6-6.
It’s safe to say that in their
second meeting, there would
be a clear victor.
In a thrilling game last Fri-
day night, the Panthers de-
feated the Purple Roses 5-4
on the road.
The first period began
pretty routinely until Point
Boro’s Kyle Johnson netted
the first goal of the game
with an assist from teammate
Chris Miller.
Less than one minute later,
St. Rose responded with a
goal of its own to even out
the score at one.
The Purple Roses didn’t
stop there, though, as Connor
Cassidy scored a power-play
goal for St. Rose. Cassidy
then scored a second time
with 44 seconds left in the
first period, claiming the lead
at 3-1.
Not playing terribly, Boro
coach Alex DePalma encour-
aged his team to keep playing
hard.
“I told them to just keep
taking shots and to keep play-
ing your game,” DePalma
said.
The second period be-
longed to the Panthers as
they responded well to being
down. Panther Owen Her-
rington scored a short-hand-
ed goal to bring them within
one.
Ryan Patterson then tied
up the game with a short-
handed goal of his own and
an assist from Herrington.
With one and one-half
minutes left in the second pe-
riod, Patterson put another
puck in the back of the net

His grandfather wrestled.
His father wrestled. His un-
cles and even his brother all
wrestled. I guess you could
say that Dan Nobbs was
born to wrestle.
Senior wrestler for Point
Boro High School, Nobbs
has been wrestling since he
was two years old.
This past weekend, in a
match against Barnegat,
Nobbs recorded his 100th
career win, an accomplish-
ment worth noting.
Humbly admitting how
nervous he was before the
match, Nobbs went out on
the mat and did what he’d
been doing his whole life.
He wrestled.
“It was a good moment,”
said Nobbs, thinking about
the victory. “I was a little re-
lieved because I finally got
it. It was great; pretty emo-
tional, too.”
Point Boro Coach Pat
Brady thought it was a well
deserved achievement for
Nobbs.
“It’s exciting,” he said. “It’s
great to see a kid who
worked so hard achieve a
milestone like that and have
it pay off for him with his
family there and all his
teammates there.”
Brady holds Nobbs in
high esteem, recognizing his
leadership throughout his
career at Point Boro.
“Dan has been awesome
since the day he stepped
into the wrestling room here
at the Boro. He’s been a
workhorse for four years
and even a leader coming in
as a freshman,” stated Brady.
According to Brady,
Nobbs really stepped up his
role as leader in his senior
year.
“He is teaching the
younger guys what is ex-
pected of them, how we
train and how we do things
here at the Boro. On and off
the mat,” said Brady.
Nobbs truly appreciates
his time as a Panther
wrestler, saying, “When you
step into this program
you’re immediately part of
this huge family. So many
people come together and
support you and help you
out. Brady says all the time
that if we need anything he’s
always there for us and
that’s one hundred percent
true.”
Already going through
shoulder and knee surgery,
Nobbs isn’t sure if he will
continue wrestling after
high school.
He wants to attend col-
lege and pursue a degree in
business and is thinking
about a career as a police of-
ficer.
Nobbs joins 11 other dis-
tinguished wrestlers in
Point Boro history as a 100
match winner.

Panthers unable to outscore
Golden Eagles in close game
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BORO — The
Panthers fell short at home
Thursday night against the
visiting Golden Eagles of
Central Regional by a score
of 62-53.
It was a close game
throughout, but Central Re-
gional managed to run away
with the win in the end.
After trailing the Golden
Eagles by six points at the
end of the first quarter, the
Panthers came up big before
the half. They scored 16
points while Central Region-
al only added 11, leaving Point
Boro trailing 30-29 at half-
time.
Unfortunately, the second
quarter was the only quarter
the Panthers outscored the
Eagles as they piled on points
throughout the second half.
At the end of the third
quarter Point Boro found
themselves down five points
but could not seem to get
within reach of Central Re-
gional.
The Golden Eagles scored
another 17 in the final quarter,
winning the game 62-53.
Point Boro junior Matt
VanNostrand led the way
with a game-high 21 points,
nine of those points coming
from beyond the arc. Panther
John Venturi added 15 points
with six points coming from
three-point land.
Point Boro’s away game
against Donovan Catholic on

BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT PLEASANT BEACH —
The Garnet Gulls lost at
home Thursday night to
Mater Dei Prep by a score of
40-18.
It was a tough game for
Point Beach as the team
found itself down 15-4 by the
end of the first half.
Coming out of the half and
into the third quarter, the
Gulls only managed four
points. Mater Dei put up 17
more, significantly increas-
ing their lead.
Though trailing by 24 at
the beginning of the fourth
quarter, the Gulls never gave
up, scoring 10 points before

Boro loses two on the road
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
BAYVILLE — The Panthers
girls basketball team fell to
the Golden Eagles on the
road by a score of 64-56 last
Thursday evening.
Point Boro led 12-11 at the
end of the first quarter but
could not carry its momen-
tum over into the next quar-
ter.
During the second quarter,
Central Regional added 18
points to its total while the
Boro only added six, ending
the first half down 29-18.
The Panthers never let up,
scoring 19 points in both the
third and fourth quarters.
Unfortunately, it was not
enough to overcome their
first-half deficit.
The Golden Eagles put up
35 points in the second half,
going on to win 64-56. They
also hit a total of 10 shots
from 3-point range, which
contributed to the win.
“I thought the girls played
well in the loss considering
the 3-pointers,” said Boro
coach David Drew.
“Central Regional was
shooting really well. Take
away a few of those 3-point-
ers and we have ourselves a
win,” Drew added.
Point Boro senior guard
Lindsey Havens led the Pan-
thers with 15 points, six re-
bounds, three assists and two
steals.
Sophomore guard Amye
Zalesky added 13 points of
her own as well as seven re-
bounds, three assists and one
steal. Boro senior center Bri-
anna Skinner had a team-high
11 rebounds and contributed
9 points in the loss.
HAVENS WITH THE HOT HAND
The Panthers went on to
play Freehold Township High
School on the road Saturday
and lost 63-52.
In a pattern similar to the
loss against Central Regional,
Point Boro found itself down
at the half by a score of 27-15.
In the second half, the Pan-
thers put up 37 points, but it
was not enough to secure the
win over the Patriots.
Drew was proud of how
the girls played, especially
coming off the loss to Central
Regional.
“We could’ve put our tails
between our legs and not
compete, but our girls came
out and played hard against a
top-10 team,” stated Drew.
Despite the loss, Havens
finished with a game-high 28
points, 12 of them coming
from beyond the arc. She fin-
ished with a game-high seven
steals in addition to four re-
bounds and one assist.
“When somebody is hot
like that we try and get her
the ball as much as possible,”
said Coach Drew. “We have
plays designed to get certain
people the ball, so we work
on getting it to the hot hand.”
Point Boro sophomore
guard Megan Hughes made
some noise of her own,
adding 11 points, six re-
bounds, an assist and a steal.
Freehold had a couple
players finish with points
higher than 20. Samantha Fa-
mulare finished with 23
points and Victoria Wagner
finished with 21 points and a
game-high 15 rebounds.
The Panthers drop to 7-5
on the season while the Patri-
ots move to 9-5.
Point Boro’s game against
Donovan Catholic at home
this past Tuesday has been
postponed until Feb. 7 due to
snow.

POINT BEACH 37 WRESTLING CENTRAL REGIONAL 33
Garnet Gulls edge out Golden Eagles on the road
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
BAYVILLE — It was a riveting
match on Saturday morning
for the Garnet Gulls wrestling
team and fans.
After trailing the Golden
Eagles for the first 10 bouts,
Point Beach pulled a team re-
versal to claim the victory on
the road.
“It was a good atmosphere
for a Saturday morning
match,” said Point Beach
Coach Jeff Bower. “It was ex-
citing for sure.”
The match saw all 14 bouts
played out, with a total of
eight pins between the two
squads.
Central Regional started off
hot with pins in both the 170-
and 182-pound bouts, jumping
out to a 12-0 lead.
Point Beach got its first
team points in the 195-pound
bout when Central Regional’s
Jordan Hardy lost by disqual-
ification. He also received a
player misconduct resulting
in a deduction of three team
points.
In the next bout, 220-
pounder Forrest Gardner of
Point Beach lost in a tiebreak-
er to Central’s Denis Corbin,
making the score 12-6 in favor
of the Golden Eagles.
Central Regional won the
heavyweight bout with a pin
before Point Beach added six
to their total with Will Jarvis
pinning Nicholas Rivera in
the third period of the 106-
pound bout.
Central Regional went on
to win the 113-pound bout
with a first period pin and the
120-pound bout by decision.
This gave the Garnet Gulls
their largest deficit of the
match with the score 27-12.
Despite being down, the
Gulls continued wrestling
hard, winning the next five
bouts.
Point Beach’s Roddy Rupp
started the surge with a pin 35
seconds into the first period
of the 126-pound bout.
In the following bout, Gar-
net Gull John Finnerty
showed no mercy, defeating
his opponent 16-0, adding 5
points to the team total and
bringing them within four.
The Gulls needed to con-
tinue winning their individual
bouts to stay within reach of
the Golden Eagles; 138-
pounder Giancarlo Crivelli of
Point Beach answered the call
getting the Gulls their first
lead of the day by winning his
bout 18-2. With the score 28-
27, there were only three
bouts left to decide the match.
In the 145-pound bout, Ja-
son Bowers of Point Beach
pinned Lino DelGiudice to in-
crease the Gulls’ lead to 34-27.
“He’s pretty tough,” said
coach Bower. “He’s a great kid
to have to put in when we
need him.”
Coach Bower then looked
to senior Zack Schaller to so-
lidify the victory in the next
bout.
“I told him to just go wres-
tle. He’s a senior and he
knows what he’s doing,” Bow-
er said about Schaller.
Following his coach’s ad-
vice, Schaller won 6-1 over his
opponent awarding his team
three more points, enough to
claim the victory.
With the score 37-27 in fa-
vor of Point Beach, the match
was in the bag. In the final
bout of the day, Central Re-
gional won with a pin over
Point Beach, but it was not
enough to pass the 37 points
the Gulls had already put up.
Point Beach’s match against
Holmdel on Monday was
postponed due to snow. They
went on the road against
Keansburg on Thursday,
which occurred too late to be

to give Point Boro the lead 4-
3.
The Purple Roses refused
to go down without a fight as
they scored with a mere eight
seconds left in the second pe-
riod, evening it out at 4.
“It’s tough when they score
just before the end of the pe-
riod, but St. Rose is a very tal-
ented offensive team,” said
DePalma. “We went in the
locker room and took some
time to regroup before the
third.”
The third period com-
menced and it looked as if
these two teams would end
in a tie once again.
Herrington had a different
outcome in mind and with an
assist from Kyle Niekrasz
Herrington, scored the game-
winner for the Panthers with
5:44 left on the clock.
With the Purple Roses un-
able to score another goal,
Point Boro snagged a much-
deserved win in a hard-
fought battle.
“Owen’s goal was a wicked
shot over the goalie’s shoul-
der,” said DePalma. “It was a
good way to win.”
Herrington finished the
game with two goals and two
assists, and Patterson fin-
ished with two goals. Goalie

The Panthers now hold a

The Progressive Insurance
Atlantic City Boat Show

the Atlantic City Convention
Center. Media publicist
Carrie Waible said “The AC
Boat Show is here to give life-
long boating enthusiasts and
novices alike the opportunity
to shop, compare and find
competitive deals on every-
thing from sport fishers and
performance boats to sail-
boats and family cruisers,
plus thousands of marine
accessories and activities for
all ages.
Beyond the fun of seeing
hundreds of new boats at the
Show, attendees can take
advantage of incredible edu-
cational opportunities like
the all-new Progressive Boat
School, meet fishing stars
like Wicked Tuna Captain TJ
Ott, and support “Let Us Eat
Please,” a local nonprofit
organization that helps deliv-
er meals to kids in need.
Captain TJ Ott from National
Geographic Channel's hit
series Wicked Tuna will be
here Friday 1-3 p.m. and 5-7
p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
and 3-5 p.m. and Sunday 12-2
p.m.
Captain TJ has caught hun-
dreds of giant bluefin tuna
from the gulf of Maine to the
outer banks of the Carolinas
and loves to share his fishing
tales.” Show hours are

The Recreational Fishing
Alliance has announced,
“The New Jersey Marine
Fisheries Council unani-
mously voted to support a
two fish bag limit for striped
bass beginning sometime in
2015, with one fish at 28 to
less than 43 inches, and a sec-
ond fish equal to or greater
than 43 inches. The decision
at the council's regular meet-
ing in Galloway Township
must now be picked up by
New Jersey legislators, as any
changes to striped bass regu-
lations in the state must be
made through Trenton by an
act of law. The Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries
Commission recently man-
dated a 25 percent or better
reduction by all coastal states
on striped bass harvest
beginning in 2015, with
ASMFC technical committee
members approving New
Jersey's proposal of one
striper at less than 43 and one
striper at 43 or greater as
meeting that 25 percent
reduction goal. As for New
Jersey's bonus striped bass
program which utilizes the
unused commercial quota of
striped bass through a $2 tag
system, the New Jersey
Marine Fisheries Council
also voted to convene their
striped bass advisory com-
mittee to look at possible
changes to the program.
Captain Howard Bogan of
the Big Jamaica out of Brielle
reports, “The Jamaica is
scheduled to sail on special
cod, pollock, and ling trips
every Saturday sailing at 1:00
a.m. For further information
call 732-528-5014 or go to
www.bigjamaica.com.”
Captain Joe of the Jamaica

winter schedule is 12 hour
wreck trips: 5 a.m.to 5 p.m.
Wednesdays, Saturdays, and
Sunday. Whiting every
Friday at 6 a.m. “
The New Jersey Division
of Fish and Wildlife has
announced, “Some 570,000
healthy and robust rainbow
trout will be stocked in
waters across New Jersey for
the spring trout season. As
many as 180,000 of these
feisty fish will be stocked by
the time the season kicks off
April 4. In the coming
months, the Division will be
stocking only rainbow trout,
a hearty species that is resist-
ant to furunculosis, a disease
that has impacted brown and
brook trout reared at the
Division’s Pequest Trout
Hatchery in Warren County.
In consultation with other
states that have had to deal
with similar issues resulting
from this common cold
water fish disease, the
Division has taken aggressive
steps to eliminate the disease
from the hatchery. Raceways
used to raise the fish have
been fully disinfected and
increased measures have
been taken to deter birds,
which are suspected of hav-
ing transmitted the disease
from the wild to the hatchery.
Furunculosis cannot be
transmitted to people. All
designated trout waters will
be stocked this spring.
Rainbow trout will be the
only species raised at the
hatchery for the next several
years, until the future intro-
duction of disease resistant
strains of brook and brown
trout can be established.
Anglers also should note that
adult, two year old rainbows,
averaging 15 to 16 inches, will
be ready for stocking once
again this fall. Rainbow trout
released in the coming
months will average 10.5
inches long.”
“The trout going out from
the Pequest Hatchery this
spring will be completely
healthy and big,” said
Division Director David
Chanda “The only difference
is that we will be stocking
solely rainbow trout, a much
heartier, disease-resistant
species which has not been
exposed to the bacteria that
causes furunculosis. I want
to thank all anglers who pur-
chase fishing licenses and
trout stamps, added Director
Chanda. “By purchasing a
license, anglers provide
funding for much more than
simply raising and releasing
trout. These purchases pro-
vide funding for critical
research and conservation
efforts.”
A fishing license and a
trout stamp are required to
fish for trout for anyone
between the ages of 16 and
70. Children under 16 and
New Jersey residents 70
years and older can fish for
free. Licenses and stamps
may be obtained through
license agents statewide,
found at www.njfishand-
wildlife.com/agentlst.htm or
purchased online at
www.nj.wildlifelicense.com.
For more information on the
trout stocking program, visit:

wildlife.com/trtinfo.htm.
The full stocking schedule
will be posted in March.

  • 1. BY DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR BARNEGAT — Point Pleasant Borough matched up against the Barnegat Bengals in Sat- urday’s quad match. They took down the host team with a decisive, 50-19 victory. “We started in the 170- pound weight class and everyone wrestled well,” coach Pat Brady said about the win. “The lower weight classes really came through and everyone was out attack- ing and trying to get points for the team.” The Panthers’ two-time state qualifier, Dan Nobbs, picked up his 100th career win during the match in the 127-pound weight class, an exciting moment for him and the team. “He is a great kid,” said Brady. “Both on and off the mat.” BORO DEFEATS LACEY Point Boro also claimed a comfortable victory over Lacey Township at Saturday’s quad match. The Panthers won by a score of 49-20, with only 12 points coming from forfeits. Boro jumped out with a solid 24-point lead with for- feits by Lacey in the 182- and 220-pound weight classes, and pins by Boro in the heavyweight and 195-pound weight classes. Josh Vitale of Point Boro pinned his opponent in the second period of the 195- pound bout, while Dominic Infante won the heavyweight bout by pin with two seconds left in the third period. The Lacey Lions recorded their first team points when Boro’s Ben Sabo lost by deci- sion in the 106-pound bout. The Panthers kept going strong, though, with Blake Dale, Dylan Davies, and Nobbs winning the 113-, 120- and 126-pound weight class- es, respectively, and increas- ing their lead 37-3. Coach Brady was definitely excited about his wrestlers’ performance.

BY DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR MIDDLETOWN — Point Beach remains unbeaten in the B Central Division as the team topped Mater Dei Prep on the road 51-31 last Thursday. Garnet Gull senior Mike Frauenheim scored 18 points during the win with eight points from beyond the arc. He received help from teammate Jimmy Panzini who put up 14 points of his own. “We came out strong in the first quarter and estab- lished a solid lead,” ex- plained Point Beach coach Nick Catania. It was a solid win for the Garnet Gulls who really played hard and consistent- ly throughout the game. “We played well togeth- er,” stated Catania. “Our in- tensity really carried us through the entire game.” Also putting up double digits on the board for the Gulls was Mike Rice who finished with nine points from three-point land and four from the field for a to- tal of 13 points. Point Beach’s Chris Schi- fano, Trevor Covey, and Danny Frauenheim all fin- ished with two points BEACH 51 BOYS BASKETBALL MATER DEI PREP 31 Gulls remain undefeated Mike Frauenheim totals 18 points in win over Mater Dei Prep BY DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR BELMAR — Last time Point Boro and St. Rose faced off on the ice, no victor was named as the teams tied 6-6. It’s safe to say that in their second meeting, there would be a clear victor. In a thrilling game last Fri- day night, the Panthers de- feated the Purple Roses 5-4 on the road. The first period began pretty routinely until Point Boro’s Kyle Johnson netted the first goal of the game with an assist from teammate Chris Miller. Less than one minute later, St. Rose responded with a goal of its own to even out the score at one. The Purple Roses didn’t stop there, though, as Connor Cassidy scored a power-play goal for St. Rose. Cassidy then scored a second time with 44 seconds left in the first period, claiming the lead at 3-1. Not playing terribly, Boro coach Alex DePalma encour- aged his team to keep playing hard. “I told them to just keep taking shots and to keep play- ing your game,” DePalma said. The second period be- longed to the Panthers as they responded well to being down. Panther Owen Her- rington scored a short-hand- ed goal to bring them within one. Ryan Patterson then tied up the game with a short- handed goal of his own and an assist from Herrington. With one and one-half minutes left in the second pe- riod, Patterson put another puck in the back of the net POINT BORO 5 ICE HOCKEY ST.

I guess you could say that Dan Nobbs was born to wrestle. Senior wrestler for Point Boro High School, Nobbs has been wrestling since he was two years old. This past weekend, in a match against Barnegat, Nobbs recorded his 100th career win, an accomplish- ment worth noting. Humbly admitting how nervous he was before the match, Nobbs went out on the mat and did what he’d been doing his whole life. He wrestled. “It was a good moment,” said Nobbs, thinking about the victory. “I was a little re- lieved because I finally got it. It was great; pretty emo- tional, too.” Point Boro Coach Pat Brady thought it was a well deserved achievement for Nobbs. “It’s exciting,” he said. “It’s great to see a kid who worked so hard achieve a milestone like that and have it pay off for him with his family there and all his teammates there.” Brady holds Nobbs in high esteem, recognizing his leadership throughout his career at Point Boro. “Dan has been awesome since the day he stepped into the wrestling room here at the Boro. He’s been a workhorse for four years and even a leader coming in as a freshman,” stated Brady. According to Brady, Nobbs really stepped up his role as leader in his senior year. “He is teaching the younger guys what is ex- pected of them, how we train and how we do things here at the Boro. On and off the mat,” said Brady. Nobbs truly appreciates his time as a Panther wrestler, saying, “When you step into this program you’re immediately part of this huge family. So many people come together and support you and help you out. Brady says all the time that if we need anything he’s always there for us and that’s one hundred percent true.” Already going through shoulder and knee surgery, Nobbs isn’t sure if he will continue wrestling after high school. He wants to attend col- lege and pursue a degree in business and is thinking about a career as a police of- ficer. Nobbs joins 11 other dis- tinguished wrestlers in Point Boro history as a 100 match winner.

They scored 16 points while Central Region- al only added 11, leaving Point Boro trailing 30-29 at half- time.

WWW.STARNEWSGROUP.COM FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2015 THE OCEAN STAR PAGE 29SPORTS POINT BORO GIRLS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK Boro loses two on the road BY DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR BAYVILLE — The Panthers girls basketball team fell to the Golden Eagles on the road by a score of 64-56 last Thursday evening. Point Boro led 12-11 at the end of the first quarter but could not carry its momen- tum over into the next quar- ter. During the second quarter, Central Regional added 18 points to its total while the Boro only added six, ending the first half down 29-18. The Panthers never let up, scoring 19 points in both the third and fourth quarters. Unfortunately, it was not enough to overcome their first-half deficit. The Golden Eagles put up 35 points in the second half, going on to win 64-56. They also hit a total of 10 shots from 3-point range, which contributed to the win. “I thought the girls played well in the loss considering the 3-pointers,” said Boro coach David Drew. “Central Regional was shooting really well. Take away a few of those 3-point- ers and we have ourselves a win,” Drew added. Point Boro senior guard Lindsey Havens led the Pan- thers with 15 points, six re- bounds, three assists and two steals. Sophomore guard Amye Zalesky added 13 points of her own as well as seven re- bounds, three assists and one steal. Boro senior center Bri- anna Skinner had a team-high 11 rebounds and contributed 9 points in the loss. HAVENS WITH THE HOT HAND The Panthers went on to play Freehold Township High School on the road Saturday and lost 63-52. In a pattern similar to the loss against Central Regional, Point Boro found itself down at the half by a score of 27-15. In the second half, the Pan- thers put up 37 points, but it was not enough to secure the win over the Patriots. Drew was proud of how the girls played, especially coming off the loss to Central Regional. “We could’ve put our tails between our legs and not compete, but our girls came out and played hard against a top-10 team,” stated Drew. Despite the loss, Havens finished with a game-high 28 points, 12 of them coming from beyond the arc. She fin- ished with a game-high seven steals in addition to four re- bounds and one assist. “When somebody is hot like that we try and get her the ball as much as possible,” said Coach Drew. “We have plays designed to get certain people the ball, so we work on getting it to the hot hand.” Point Boro sophomore guard Megan Hughes made some noise of her own, adding 11 points, six re- bounds, an assist and a steal. Freehold had a couple players finish with points higher than 20. Samantha Fa- mulare finished with 23 points and Victoria Wagner finished with 21 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. The Panthers drop to 7-5 on the season while the Patri- ots move to 9-5. Point Boro’s game against Donovan Catholic at home this past Tuesday has been postponed until Feb. 7 due to snow.

The Point Boro Panthers’ Brandon Defeo and Gene Fransceschini won the last two bouts of the match in the 160- and 170-pound weight classes, solidifying an already com- manding victory.

In the 160-pound bout, Toms River North won by major decision which, in turn, won the match, as Boro was unable to put anyone on the mat for the 182-pound weight class. “We went after them every bout,” coach Brady said about the team’s effort. “Toms River is a good, big and competitive team.” BORO FALLS TO WALL TOWNSHIP Prior to Saturday’s quad match, the Panthers suffered a tough loss at home as they fell to the Crimson Knights of Wall Township 45-30 Friday night. The match saw a total of 10 pins between the two squads, with five for Point Boro and five for Wall Township. While it is always tough to lose at home, Brady was posi- tive about his team’s perform- ance. “We were competitive the whole match,” he said. “Unfortunately, we didn’t come out on the winning side this time.” It started with the 170-pound bout, where Boro’s Ryan Sansone lost by decision to Wall’s Nick Iezzi. The Knights claimed victory in the next three weight classes, giving them an early 19-0 lead. Panther heavyweight Dominic Infante recorded the first points for Boro by pinning his opponent in the third peri- od of their bout.

POINT BEACH 37 WRESTLING CENTRAL REGIONAL 33 Garnet Gulls edge out Golden Eagles on the road BY DOMINICK POLLIO THE OCEAN STAR BAYVILLE — It was a riveting match on Saturday morning for the Garnet Gulls wrestling team and fans. After trailing the Golden Eagles for the first 10 bouts, Point Beach pulled a team re- versal to claim the victory on the road. “It was a good atmosphere for a Saturday morning match,” said Point Beach Coach Jeff Bower. “It was ex- citing for sure.” The match saw all 14 bouts played out, with a total of eight pins between the two squads. Central Regional started off hot with pins in both the 170- and 182-pound bouts, jumping out to a 12-0 lead. Point Beach got its first team points in the 195-pound bout when Central Regional’s Jordan Hardy lost by disqual- ification. He also received a player misconduct resulting in a deduction of three team points. In the next bout, 220- pounder Forrest Gardner of Point Beach lost in a tiebreak- er to Central’s Denis Corbin, making the score 12-6 in favor of the Golden Eagles. Central Regional won the heavyweight bout with a pin before Point Beach added six to their total with Will Jarvis pinning Nicholas Rivera in the third period of the 106- pound bout. Central Regional went on to win the 113-pound bout with a first period pin and the 120-pound bout by decision. This gave the Garnet Gulls their largest deficit of the match with the score 27-12. Despite being down, the Gulls continued wrestling hard, winning the next five bouts. Point Beach’s Roddy Rupp started the surge with a pin 35 seconds into the first period of the 126-pound bout. In the following bout, Gar- net Gull John Finnerty showed no mercy, defeating his opponent 16-0, adding 5 points to the team total and bringing them within four. The Gulls needed to con- tinue winning their individual bouts to stay within reach of the Golden Eagles; 138- pounder Giancarlo Crivelli of Point Beach answered the call getting the Gulls their first lead of the day by winning his bout 18-2. With the score 28- 27, there were only three bouts left to decide the match. In the 145-pound bout, Ja- son Bowers of Point Beach pinned Lino DelGiudice to in- crease the Gulls’ lead to 34-27. “He’s pretty tough,” said coach Bower. “He’s a great kid to have to put in when we need him.” Coach Bower then looked to senior Zack Schaller to so- lidify the victory in the next bout. “I told him to just go wres- tle. He’s a senior and he knows what he’s doing,” Bow- er said about Schaller. Following his coach’s ad- vice, Schaller won 6-1 over his opponent awarding his team three more points, enough to claim the victory. With the score 37-27 in fa- vor of Point Beach, the match was in the bag. In the final bout of the day, Central Re- gional won with a pin over Point Beach, but it was not enough to pass the 37 points the Gulls had already put up. Point Beach’s match against Holmdel on Monday was postponed due to snow. They went on the road against Keansburg on Thursday, which occurred too late to be covered in this edition of The Ocean Star.

The Purple Roses refused to go down without a fight as they scored with a mere eight seconds left in the second pe- riod, evening it out at 4. “It’s tough when they score just before the end of the pe- riod, but St. Rose is a very tal- ented offensive team,” said DePalma. “We went in the locker room and took some time to regroup before the third.” The third period com- menced and it looked as if these two teams would end in a tie once again. Herrington had a different outcome in mind and with an assist from Kyle Niekrasz Herrington, scored the game- winner for the Panthers with 5:44 left on the clock. With the Purple Roses un- able to score another goal, Point Boro snagged a much- deserved win in a hard- fought battle. “Owen’s goal was a wicked shot over the goalie’s shoul- der,” said DePalma. “It was a good way to win.” Herrington finished the game with two goals and two assists, and Patterson fin- ished with two goals.

The decision at the council's regular meet- ing in Galloway Township must now be picked up by New Jersey legislators, as any changes to striped bass regu- lations in the state must be made through Trenton by an act of law. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission recently man- dated a 25 percent or better reduction by all coastal states on striped bass harvest beginning in 2015, with ASMFC technical committee members approving New Jersey's proposal of one striper at less than 43 and one striper at 43 or greater as meeting that 25 percent reduction goal.

As many as 180,000 of these feisty fish will be stocked by the time the season kicks off April 4. In the coming months, the Division will be stocking only rainbow trout, a hearty species that is resist- ant to furunculosis, a disease that has impacted brown and brook trout reared at the Division’s Pequest Trout Hatchery in Warren County. In consultation with other states that have had to deal with similar issues resulting from this common cold water fish disease, the Division has taken aggressive steps to eliminate the disease from the hatchery. Raceways used to raise the fish have been fully disinfected and increased measures have been taken to deter birds, which are suspected of hav- ing transmitted the disease from the wild to the hatchery. Furunculosis cannot be transmitted to people. All designated trout waters will be stocked this spring. Rainbow trout will be the only species raised at the hatchery for the next several years, until the future intro- duction of disease resistant strains of brook and brown trout can be established. Anglers also should note that adult, two year old rainbows, averaging 15 to 16 inches, will be ready for stocking once again this fall. Rainbow trout released in the coming months will average 10.5 inches long.” “The trout going out from the Pequest Hatchery this spring will be completely healthy and big,” said Division Director David Chanda “The only difference is that we will be stocking solely rainbow trout, a much heartier, disease-resistant species which has not been exposed to the bacteria that causes furunculosis. I want to thank all anglers who pur- chase fishing licenses and trout stamps, added Director Chanda. “By purchasing a license, anglers provide funding for much more than simply raising and releasing trout. These purchases pro- vide funding for critical research and conservation efforts.” A fishing license and a trout stamp are required to fish for trout for anyone between the ages of 16 and 70. Children under 16 and New Jersey residents 70 years and older can fish for free. Licenses and stamps may be obtained through license agents statewide, found at www.njfishand- wildlife.com/agentlst.htm or purchased online at www.nj.wildlifelicense.com. For more information on the trout stocking program, visit: http://www.njf ishand- wildlife.com/trtinfo.htm. The full stocking schedule will be posted in March.
