Thank goodness for the last of the four NFL wild-card playoff games played this weekend as it was the only one that provided any real drama or excitement. The Cardinals outlasted the Packers in overtime 51-45 in the highest scoring playoff game of all time to join the Ravens, Cowboys and Jets as weekend winners. The Jets will play in San Diego in the late game this coming Sunday and it can be heard on the Shore Sports Network, including 1160AM.
My wife and I got to the movies for the first time in a while this weekend and saw “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin which we really enjoyed. I have never been a big Baldwin fan but he is very funny and the movie will surely leave you laughing.
Congratulations to the Toms River South Boys and Toms River North Girls for winning the Ocean County Swimming Championships over the weekend.
In Sunday’s girl’s event at the Ocean County YMCA Freshman Sara Beers won two individual events and anchored the winning 400-yard freestyle relay team as the Mariners slipped by Monsignor Donovan. The Griffins Ashley Conroy and Toms River South’s Rachel Zucco also won a pair of individual titles. In Saturday’s boys meet the Indians rolled to their second title in three years by winning two relay events and getting an individual victory from Anthony Cusmano. Central freshman Evan Mahoney and Jackson Memorial’s Connor Murphy were double winners.
Friday was just another reminder that I’ve been around for a long time. Monsignor Donovan’s Jake Martin was our player of the game in the Griffins win over Point Boro which we broadcast from the Ritacco Center.
I’ve know Jake’s father Brian since he was a young boy and his grandfather is Dave Wintrode from the Causeway Family of Dealerships in Manahawkin.
Former Ocean County College President Milton Shaw passed away over the weekend. Shaw, a resident of Marlton, was at OCC from 1982-2000…he was 82 years old.
