It looks like we’ll have great weather for what too many really is the final weekend of summer. Yes I know Labor Day is still more than a week away and of course September might be the nicest month of the year but for many people once the school mode begins than summer is really over. If you drive by schools and fields you see that kids are busy getting ready for the fall sports season, cheerleading, band practice and more. So if this is really your last free weekend then enjoy it…I know I’ll be on the 2nd Avenue Beach in Seaside Park working overtime.
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this but a team made up mostly of players from New Brunswick won the inaugural Baker League Summer Adult Basketball Championship. MAGNACARE led from start to finish and beat
WALLACH’S FARM MARKET in the title game at Toms River Intermediate East. The Wallach’s entry was comprised mainly of ex-Lacey High School players.
On hand at last night’s game were the Toms River National All-Stars, who of course are just back from Williamsport, Pennsylvania and trying to enjoy what’s left of their brief summer vacation. Theresa Tiplady, whose son Michael was a key member of the squad told me the first full day back at home meant loads of laundry. She was good enough to write a daily blog for wobm.com during the Little League World Series and said the entire experience was a positive one. I talked briefly with manager Paul Deceglie who said returning to work meant indeed it was all over as from August 4th until this week he was with the boys 24/7 in Bristol, Connecticut and then Williamsport. For the players school will start on Wednesday so I’m sure they are looking forward to a few days at the beach and just doing what kids like to do.
Final thought for the day and week…..being a Mets fan truly is a form of torture.
