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.

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

Coming out of the half and
into the third quarter, the
Gulls only managed four
points. Mater Dei put up 17

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

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

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-

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-

competitive deals on every-
thing from sport fishers and
performance boats to sail-
boats and family cruisers,
plus thousands of marine

Beyond the fun of seeing
hundreds of new boats at the

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

Captain TJ has caught hun-
dreds of giant bluefin tuna

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.

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.

trout stocking program, visit:

The full stocking schedule
will be posted in March.
