It’s good to get back into the swing of things as I’ve been away…at least from this segment for nearly two weeks. I was not on vacation, although I did take the first three days of this week off so I could attend to a bunch of “stuff.” Prior to that I was tied up with the WOBM Christmas Classic, which like just about everything else was impacted by the snowstorm the day after Christmas. However with the help of many, especially Athletic Director Joe Arminio and the Toms River Regional School District we managed to complete our 27th annual tournament three days late. Special thanks to all the coaches and school administrators for working with us under some difficult circumstances and congratulations to the Saint Rose boy’s and Rumson girl’s for winning championships. For pictures of this year’s tournament you can visit shoresportsnetwork.com and click on basketball and then Christmas Classic.
The Shore Sports Network’s weekly schedule of high school basketball broadcasts begins tomorrow night when we carry the Manasquan at Monsignor Donovan game on WOBM AM 1160 & 1310. The Mon Don community will be collecting donations for the American Cancer Society at the game in memory of Joann Duszczak, whose son Anthony is a standout player for the Griffins. Mrs. Duszczak
a longtime Seaside Heights Councilwoman passed away on December 28th at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York at the age of 57. She was very active in the school and community and Monsignor Donovan will collect donations tomorrow night in honor of her and Anthony. Tipoff is 6:30pm from Gepp Gym.
I don’t know what’s worse….the fear of snowstorms or rising gasoline prices.
At least you know the snow will eventually go away but it looks like we’re headed to near record gas prices by springtime.
However here’s a reminder from Crab’s Claw Inn owner Sam Hammer that there is light at the end of the tunnel. We are headed in the right direction…sunset today is 4:43pm and by the end of the month it will be 5:12. Now that’s something that should make you feel a bit better.
