So yesterday was the first Sunday without pro football since September 12th and it was a preview of things to come. It was a good chance to catch up on things like cleaning my garage which has become a mess over the winter. Heck I even found Halloween stuff that was never put away and I have to say that things look much better now…I can almost fit a car in the garage which after all is what they were meant for.
Before the Academy Awards are announced on February 27th I am determined to see all 10 of the nominees for Best Picture and yesterday we watched “The Kids are All Right.” The movie stars Annette Bening and Julianne Moore and is about a lesbian couple whose two teenage children reach out and bond with their sperm donor father. Neither my wife nor I thought it was a great movie but the acting is very good and it’s worth watching. We still have to see True Grit, Black Swan and Winters Bone but of the 7 nominated films we did see I would have to say The Social Network and The King’s Speech were the best and about as different as night and day.
Things did not pan out according to plan but Monsignor Donovan High School basketball standout Sean Grennan finally knows where his basketball future will take him. Over the weekend Grennan verbally committed to Seton Hall which ends what has been a tumultuous couple of months. The senior point guard was all set to play and attend Davidson College in North Carolina but just before the season began he was informed that due to academic reasons his scholarship offer was being withdrawn. That opened up the recruitment of the 6’2 Sea Girt resident who chose Seton Hall over schools like Vermont, Fordham and LaSalle.
Congratulations to the Southern Regional High School Wrestling team for their stunning upset over Jackson Memorial Saturday in the finals of the Shore Conference Tournament. Less than two weeks after losing to the Jaguars 39-9 in a regular-season dual meet, the Rams turned the tables and topped Jackson 28-23 to win their third Shore Conference Championship and first since 1998.
There was good news and bad news for a former Southern wrestler this weekend.
149-pounder Frank Molinaro won his match impressively but his top-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions were upset by Iowa 22-13 at Rec Hall in State College Sunday.
The redshirt junior All-American is ranked fifth in the nation and Molinaro is
20-2 overall this season and 10-0 in dual meets.
