Friday Round Up

A little of this and a little of that as we head into what for many is a long holiday weekend. Monday of course is Presidents Day in which the appropriate way to celebrate is by purchasing a new car, furniture or some other big ticket item. By the way…I promise this segment will not include any mention of steroids or human growth hormone.

The Southern Regional High School Athletic Department will hold its 19th annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony tomorrow night at the Holiday Inn of Manahawkin. 7 individuals and the 1997 State Sectional Girls Basketball team will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Heading up that group is former three-sport star CLARK HARRIS, who had a terrific football career at Rutgers and finished up last season on the Detroit Lions practice squad. DOUG TURNER, a two-time WOBM Christmas Classic MVP, wrestling standouts DAN CLARK & RICH FERGUSON, and three-sport athlete PAM BRADLEY will also be inducted along with former soccer coach ANDY KMOSKO and longtime athletic department assistant APRIL MISINSKY.

High school wrestling fans will flock to the Ritacco Center Sunday for one of the premier events of the season…the state team championships. Tonight’s sectional champs from around New Jersey will advance to Sunday’s action and the shore is guaranteed of having at least three representatives. That’s because Jackson Memorial hosts Brick Memorial, Southern entertains Toms River North and Wall faces Ocean in sectional finals this evening. Undefeated Long Branch is also expected to make it’s first-ever trip to the Ritacco Center for a long, exciting day of action.

Next week the Ritacco Center will host the semifinals and finals of the Shore Conference Basketball Tournament with the round of 16 set for today around the shore area. WOBM Christmas Classic champion Toms River North will host Monmouth Regional in a 5 o’clock game that will be broadcast on our Shore Sports Network, including 1160AM.

The Berkeley Little League only has a few seats remaining for its first annual charity Texas Hold’em Tournament next Saturday at the Bayville Elks Lodge. For information you can visit www.berkeleylittleleague.org
