Back After A Long Weekend

After what was a long holiday weekend for many it’s back to work or school today…depending on how much shopping you did over the last few days today might feel more like a vacation than the weekend.

The Jackson Memorial High School Athletic Department will hold their Fall Sports Awards Night this evening and induct Ashley Eure as their newest member into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. A 1991 Jaguars graduate, Eure was a three-sport standout but best known for his ability on the soccer field where he earned All-County, All-Shore and All-State honors and helped Jackson win the Group 4 title in 1990. Eure also played basketball and spring track and would later attend Temple University and play soccer for the Owls. Tonight’s Awards Night is open to varsity letter winners only and their parents and will take place in the Fine Arts Auditorium.

Had my first opportunity to broadcast a football game from Jackson Liberty High School on Thanksgiving Eve and what a tremendous facility. They can probably seat more people than any other place in the area and with the locker rooms right under the bleachers and a first-class press box it’s just a great setting for a football game. Special thanks to Lions head coach Tim Osborne for the hospitality and help in broadcasting the game on the Shore Sports Network.

Speaking of our football broadcasts we will be doing two championship games from The College of New Jersey this weekend. Friday Night on the Shore Sports Network we’ll carry the Manasquan-Matawan Central Jersey Group 2 Final and then Saturday we’ll return to TCNJ as Brick Memorial defends their Central Jersey Group 4 title against East Brunswick at 3pm.

The Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce will hold their annual Holiday Luncheon on Thursday, December 10th at the Holiday Inn of Toms River. The event will also find Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ocean County receiving the Chamber’s “Season of Giving Award” for all they do to make life better for others in our community. For information and registration you can call the Chamber office at (732) 349-0220.
