Sports Shorts

Congratulations to the Jackson Memorial High School baseball team for winning the Shore Conference Tournament for just the second time in school history and first since 1984. Pete Kelich threw a five-hitter and struck out 7
as the Jaguars collected a 2-0 win over CBA in the championship game Wednesday night at FirstEnergy Park. Kevin Needham and Dave Kalash singed in runs for Jackson, who finishes the season with a 22-3 record and both the Class A South and Shore Conference Tournament titles under fifth year head coach Frank Malta.

The Southern Regional High School Boys Volleyball team looks to complete a championship season tonight when they face St. Peter’s Prep in the state tournament final at South Brunswick High School. The Rams won the South Jersey title earlier this week and now meet the North Jersey champs…a team they edged a month ago in three exciting games. Tonight marks the final game for five senior starters….Nick Nichols, Tyler Callahan, Rob Kraft, Shaw Keller and Austin Geary. Rams head coach Eric Maxwell has had quite a year…he guided the girls team to a state group championship in the fall.

While today might not feel like a summer day you can kick-off the summer season by attending a barbeque and business after hours networking event sponsored by the Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce and Jersey Coast Appliance. The event will take place from 5-7pm at the Jersey Coast Appliance location on Route 37 in Toms River near the Crystal Diner.
The cost is $10 for chamber members and $20 for non-members and will include steak, shrimp, hamburgers, hot dogs, beer & wine. Dynamic Cooking Systems will bring their mobil outdoor kitchen and grill the food
on location.
