Hometown View (9/16/10)


The second week of the high school football season starts with a host of games tonight because of the Jewish religious holiday Yom Kippur which begins at sundown Friday. We’ll broadcast the game between Wall and Jackson Liberty on 105.7FM with kickoff at 7pm from the home of the Lions. Both teams are coming off losses last week…Liberty falling to
JFK Iselin while the Crimson Knights were shut down by Lacey. Tonight’s schedule is highlighted by the game between Brick Memorial and Jackson Memorial.

The Lakewood BlueClaws host game #3 of the South Atlantic League Championship Series tonight at FirstEnergy Park against the Greenville Drive. The best-of-5 series is tied at a game apiece and both teams will be shorthanded as a result of Tuesday’s bench-clearing brawl in South Carolina.
Each team had three players suspended for one game and that figures to hurt the visitors tonight when they will be without their leadoff and cleanup batters. Game time is at 7:05 and tickets can be purchased by calling the BlueClaws offices at (732) 901-7000 or at the box office.
BlueClaws fans are assured of having another home game in the series Friday night.

Congratulations to Brick Memorial head basketball coach and assistant football coach Ed Sarluca, Jr. and his wife Maureen on the birth of the couple’s third child. Michael Edward Sarluca arrived earlier this week and tipped the scales at 9 pounds, 5 ounces. He was welcomed home Tuesday night by big sisters Ela & Cara. Grandpa Ed, better known as Luch, is a football broadcaster for our Shore Sports Network and hopefully will be passing out cigars tonight.

As the parent of a Penn State freshman and recent graduate there’s good news from the Wall Street Journal. A recent survey of recruiters revealed that Penn State is their #1 choice when it comes to hiring graduates for jobs.
The recruiters for public and private companies were asked to select the schools “whose bachelor degree graduates were the best-trained, best-educated, and best able to be successful. Following Penn State was Texas A&M and other schools in the top ten included Purdue, Arizona State, the University of Michigan, University of Maryland and Carnegie Mellon.
