One thing is guaranteed….a team from the shore area will represent the Eastern Regional in the Junior League World Series later this month. That’s because this morning’s championship game will match the Holbrook Little League of Jackson against Freehold Township, the host team in the tournament for 13 and 14 year olds. Holbrook has yet to lose in the double elimination tournament and had Wednesday off while Freehold Township beat teams from Maryland and Pennsylvania to reach the championship round. The teams play at 11 o’clock this morning at Michael J. Tighe Park and if Holbrook wins than Manager Doug Benecke and his team are the Eastern Regional champions and headed to Taylor, Michigan. However a Freehold Township victory would force the teams to play again at 2pm with the winner headed to the World Series.
Adam Skidmore is getting ready for his senior year at Central Regional High School and won’t have to worry about a college choice. The 6’6, 280 pound
offensive tackle has made a verbal commitment to accept a scholarship offer from Tulane University in New Orleans. Golden Eagles head coach Vince Casale said Skidmore was also offered scholarships from Central Florida and Northeastern but felt very comfortable after visiting Tulane and decided to accept their offer.
You might be aware of the fact we broadcast sports on some of the 11 stations owned and operated by Millennium Radio through our Shore Sports Network. Our programming has been greatly expanded this fall to include New York Jets and Monmouth University football. Just this week we reached agreement to carry the Jets on 1160 WOBM AM and Fox Sports 1310 which is a bonus for local fans as there is no longer a signal that brings “Gang Green” into this area. The broadcasts will include pre and post-game shows starting with their September 13th opener at Houston. In addition both stations will be the home of Monmouth University football this fall beginning with their September 5th game at Colgate University. Matt Harmon, the longtime play by play voice of our high school broadcasts, will work the Hawk games along with another Monmouth alum Eddy Occhipinti. Our High School season opens on September 11th with Brick hosting Colts Neck and our Friday Night broadcasts will be carried on 105.7 The Hawk in addition to 1160 and 1310AM.
