Simmons has a career day at the plate for Pennsville softball; Schalick baseball crushes another toe
By Riverview Sports News
PENNSVILLE – Sawyer Simmons took the initiative in the offseason to become a better hitter and it’s been paying off.
Simmons went 4-for-4 with a career-tying three RBIs on a cold, windy Tuesday and Pennsville scored in every inning to beat Overbrook 8-4 to win for the third time in their last four games.
Two of her hits gave the Eagles (4-2) a lead.
The senior outfielder got her day started with a two-out, two-run single in the first that put the Eagles up 2-1. Her RBI single in the fourth put them up for good 5-4. She also had a double in the third and a single in the sixth.
It was her first career four-hit game. The Salem CC signee is 6-for-7 in her last two games.
“With the wind blowing like it was we were looking for line drives or hitting something hard on the ground and she did that every time she came up,” Eagles coach Beth Jackson said. “She hit it very hard, even gave a couple good rides that were foul balls.
“She’s struggled with her hitting over the last couple years but I told her if you wanted to take a net and tee to hit in the offseason you were more than welcome. She did take the initiative and that’s what’s come through.”
Kylie Harris had two hits for the Eagles, including an RBI single in the fifth, and is now hitting .706 for the year. She now has 84 hits in her high school career.
Reagan Wariwanchik and Makenzie Widener also drove in runs for the Eagles. Savannah Palverento worked the first six innings in the circle to get the win.

SCHALICK 18, CLAYTON 1: It’s been a week since the Cougars last played, but the time off hasn’t dulled their hitting eye. The Cougars pounded out 16 hits, scored in every inning, and beat the Clippers in five innings.
Evan Glaspey went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and two walks. Lucas D’Agostino went 2-for-2 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Enrico Hatz went 2-for-2 with three RBIs and four runs scored. Evan Sepers had two hits, starting pitcher Cole Hartley had three RBIs and Jamari Whitley drove in a pair of runs.
The Cougars have outscored their opponents 41-2 in their first three games. They have scored runs in 13 of the 15 innings they’ve batted.
Three games involving county teams were postponed: Pennsville at Overbrook, Salem at Penns Grove and Woodstown at Wildwood. The Salem-Penns Grove game has been rescheduled for Wednesday.

Schalick signing day
Cougars recognize 12 senior athletes across eight sports who have signed to continue their academic and athletic careers in college
By Riverview Sports News
PITTSGROVE – The paperwork has long been signed, sent and filed and the high school seniors safely in place for their schools of the future. This was a day to celebrate their decisions.
Schalick High School recognized 12 seniors Wednesday who have signed with colleges to continue their athletic and academic careers.
The group included five for track and field – Brooke Watt (Rowan), Grace O’Neill (Monmouth), Sophia Longo (Rowan), Katie Little (Rowan) and Alivia Klancic (Stevenson) – golfer Hannah Widdifield (Kean); field hockey’s Ella Shimp (Susquehanna); swimmer Ella Price (College of New Jersey); soccer goalie Carly Hayman (Jefferson); Salem County boys cross country champion Charles Fuerneisen (Mars Hill); boys tennis No. 2 singles Jesus Espinoza Arias (RCSJ-Gloucester); and cheer’s Cianna Gaines (Rowan).
The track signees head off for one last hurrah together this weekend when the Cougars compete in the NJSIAA Group I Championship at Franklin High School.
It’ll be a bittersweet weekend for the seniors. Three of them – Watt, Longo and Little – will continue as teammates at Rowan. Klancic is headed to Stevenson and O’Neill is bound for Monmouth.
“It’s going to be emotional,” O’Neill said. “We’re going to go out there, we’re going to fight hard for whatever we have in us; it’s just going to be an amazing time. I know my last event is going to be the 4×4 and it’s going to be pretty emotional.
“A lot of us have gotten a stronger bond since the season started. It’s amazing we got to do this all together.”
O’Neill considered joining the group of Rowan, but Monmouth offered the academic curriculum she wants to pursue.
“I will miss them so much,” she said. “A lot of the girls on the track team pursuing it at Rowan are some of my best friends so I’m obviously going to be supporting them from afar and I’m sure they’ll be doing the same for me.”
O’Neill was one of the standouts in the Salem County Meet. She PR’d in every event she entered in the Salem County Meet and last weekend qualified for states in the 400 hurdles and discus, where she’s looking to set the school record. She’s on the 4×800 relay with Longo and the 4×400 relay with Klancic.
Among the other signees, Widdifield solidified her position as a trailblazer.
The 2024 county runnerup is the first girls golfer from Schalick to play college golf and one of the first signees of Kean’s start-up women’s program. The Cougars will start competing in the fall of 2024..
“(When) I feel like I’m one of the first on both teams, it just makes me feel like I really accomplished something,” Widdifield said. “I’ve strived to reach my goals and it really worked out well for me. Being the first girl, though, is kind of shocking because I never thought this would happen because I only started playing last year.”
A few hours after the signing recognition, the Cougars held their Spring Sports Award Banquet.

Kingsway’s Parrish, Kuminka, dating off the course, medalists in Tri-County Showcase; Williamstown boys, Kingsway girls win team titles
By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News
PITMAN – The next time Christopher Parrish and Carly Kuminka are in their favorite Italian restaurant together for a night out, they’ll have a little bit more to talk about than how things went at school that day.
The two Kingsway underclassmen won their respective medalist prizes Tuesday in the Tri-County Showcase at Pitman Golf Course. While it’s not the first time either of them have won, it’s the first time they’ve won on the same day since they’ve started dating.
Parrish, a sophomore, posted a 1-over-par 71 to win the boys title by a shot over Gloucester Tech’s Jamie Ciesielka and two over Justin Forman of Washington Twp. Kuminka, a junior, shot 83 and defended her girls title by five shots over two-time Salem/Cumberland girls champion Nicole Tarquinio of Cumberland Regional.
“It’s cool,” Parris said. “I was watching when we finished and she was like four ahead and I was like, Wow, we could actually both win this. It’s a great way to go into next year.”
“It’s really cool, it’s nice; I’m happy for him,” Kuminka said. “There’s not a lot of tournaments we both play in together.”
The two met through high school golf and have been an item now for about a year. They play “a lot” of golf together, which Carly says is “really fun.” She said Parrish usually gets the better of their competition “because he’s really consistent.”
Pulling off his win brought Parrish a measure of revenge after losing the Gloucester County Tournament here Thursday in a sudden-death playoff to Forman, one of his foursome partners Tuesday and one of the players he was battling with down the stretch.
Five days ago, Parrish and Forman both got around in regulation in 72. Forman was leading by two going to 18, but Parrish birdied and Forman three-putted for bogey to force the playoff. Forman won it when Parrish missed an 18-finch par putt on the second extra hole.
“After getting second Thursday in a playoff, to win today and beat Justin, who I love playing with because we play so close, felt great,” Parrish said. “I really wanted to get back at him today … I wanted to definitely make sure I won today. Shoot a good number and see if I win today.”
Parrish had no such misadventures on the greens this day. In fact, he made three mid-range birdies in a row at 12, 13 and 14 to climb into contention, but perhaps the biggest putt of his round was the one he made on 15 to save par.
“I think it’s only the second time in my life I made three birdies in a row,” he said. “It’s definitely not something I do often. But after I bogey 11, a hole I tripled on Thursday, it was like a win, but (with the holes coming up) if I can just hit greens and I can get my line and hit a good putt I can easily make birdies on these holes. That’s what I did.
“I knew I had to get something going because I was hitting the ball great, I was hitting a lot of greens, so I was like on the back if I could just get the putter going and keep hitting greens, get up and down a few times, I can definitely score pretty well on the back.”
On Tuesday, he ultimately was locked in a three-way battle down the stretch with Forman and Ciesielka, who was playing in the group ahead of him.
Forman was even through 12 holes, but fell back with a double-bogey on the par-3 on 14, the victim of some wicked backspin that brought his tee ball into the par-3 all the way back off the green. He bounced back with a birdie on 15, but bogeyed two of his last three holes.
Ciesielka was 2-under through his first seven holes and held a one-shot lead after No. 16, bur he bogeyed 17 and 18 and needed to make a 30-foot birdie on No. 1 to force a playoff. He finished second for the second year in a row. Forman finished third.
“I’m bummed I didn’t shoot where I thought I would, but all in all it’s a better score than Thursday (81 in the Gloucester County Tournament here); it’s really what I wanted,” Ciesielka said.
Pennsville’s Jacob Isaac posted the low round from a Salem County golfer. He posted a 10-over 80 on his first trip seeing the course that tied for sixth. His round featured a chip-in birdie on No. 17 and “six or seven” one-putts that kept him in the game.
Salem/Cumberland runner-up Jeffrey Covely of Woodstown also had a top 10 (T-9) with an 84 highlighted by birdies on 7 and 13.
Williamstown’s boys and the Kingsway girls (Kuminka and Ava Volpe) won the team titles. The Braves counted fourth-place Cole Gaetens’ 77 and three 84s. Woodstown finished third in the boys race, six shots ahead of fourth-place Schalick.

GLOUCESTER CITY – After battling their way through the final week of the season just to make the field, Penns Grove was hoping to keep its first playoff game since 2021 close, but one big inning proved its undoing.
Gloucester scored a run in the first inning, then erupted for 10 in the second to set the stage for a 16-3 victory over the Red Devils Thursday in the first round of the South Jersey Group I playoffs.
The Lions sent 15 batters to the plate in the inning. They collected six hits, including a two-run homer by Seth McCormick, and took advantage of three errors, a dropped third strike that would have been a second out, a hit batsman and a walk.
“The second inning has to be one of our … tougher innings of the year,” Penns Grove coach Chuck Weigle said. “We made a few mistakes, they capitalized on it and we ended up falling behind big.”
The Red Devils had one hit through the first three innings, but they avoided being shut out on Bristoll Scott’s RBI single in the fourth. They scored twice in the fifth after loading the bases with none out. Ryan Hyatt had an RBI single and Chase Wills scored on a passed ball.
Elijah Crespo and Hyatt had two hits apiece for the Red Devils.
“I don’t think it was what we were looking for,” Weigle said of the playoff experience. “We were hoping for a different result. We were hoping for it to be a little bit closer than it was. It just wasn’t the result we were looking for.
“Coming in as the 15th seed you’re not expected to necessarily win the game, but we were hoping to keep it close and just hoping to play a good game overall.”

WOODSTOWN – A 5-12 tournament match-up always has the potential to be a trap game for the favorite and it turned out that way for the Woodstown girls lacrosse team Wednesday.
Haddon Twp., a No. 12 seed despite having twice as many wins and almost 100 more power points than the Wolverines, scored three straight goals in a little over 14 minutes in the second half to pull away from a tie game and eventually score a 9-7 upset in the opening round of the South Jersey Group I girls lacrosse playoffs.
Six players scored goals for the Hawks (15-3), with Sage Looram, Mady Maronski and Amelia Tomashek each scoring two. Loorem also had a pair of assists. The Hawks hadn’t won a first-round game since 2021, but they were one of two double-digit seeds to win Wednesday.
Delaney Walker scored three goals for Woodstown (7-9) – giving her 55 for the season – while Emma Morgan and Blair Baldi had two apiece. All three goal scorers are sophomores.
“I think we were feeling the pressure,” first-year Woodstown coach Erin Renshaw said. “They’re a good team, so I was expecting the game that we got. I just think a good team like that is going to capitalize on our little mistakes.”
The Wolverines had the Hawks on the run early, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first nine minutes of the game. Haddon Twp. fought back to tie it 3-3 and the teams traded goals to tie it at 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6.
The Hawks took the lead with 5:14 left in the third quarter, then added goals with 11:16 and 6:09 left in the fourth quarter to go up 9-6.
“Yes, we are young, but I think it was just our little mistakes,” Renshaw said. “We’ve got to work more on getting the ball out of the defensive end. We had some trouble with that today.
“I think we were forcing some things and not taking our best shots, not taking our best options. I think that kind of killed us. If we can’t handle possession, get on the ball, we can’t score.”
The Wolverines did have three 8-meter opportunities in the final five minutes to potentially close the gap, but cashed in on only one with 3:07 to play. The missed second opportunity was particularly demoralizing.
“One thing I will say about my girls is they will play every minute,” Renshaw said. “I know we had some turnovers but they’re still going 100 percent to get the ball back.
“As a first-year coach I am completely happy with the how they played (this season). I think our growth is what I’m most proud of and how we are as a team. I will take the team I have over a team that is packed with elite girls who just think they can roll over another team. My team will fight and they will play with heart.”
TRACK
FRANKLINVILLE – Schalick junior Jordan Hadfield won two events and led a group of four Salem County athletes who won five events at the Tri-County Showcase at Delsea Wednesday.
Hadfield won the 800 in a personal best 2:18.61 and the 3200 in 11:30.95. She didn’t run the 1600, which opened the door for Woodstown’s Lillian Norman to win in a PR 5:29.46.
The county produced two winners on the boys side.
Penns Grove senior Khalim Smith won the triple jump with a PR and state top 25 jump of 44-9. He beat runnerup DaviYonn Jackson of Salem by eight inches.
“He was a sleeper coming into the year, but not anymore,” said Damian Ware, the Red Devils’ jumpers coach.
The triple jump was Salem County’s best event. In addition to Smith and Jackson going 1-2, freshmen David Stewart of Schalick and KaRon Ceaser were third and fourth, respectively.
Pennsville’s Connor Ayars completed the county’s champions group by winning the javelin with a PR of 159-6.
“This was the best I’ve seen Connor look,” Eagles coach Mike Healy said. “Not only did he PR, but he was consistently throwing in the 150s for all his throws, which was great to see.
“Between Connor and Cole (Campbell) finishing fourth, they’ve been our most consistent athletes and have been putting in a ton of work.”
The county also had four event runner-ups – Woodstown’s boys 4×800 relay and Salem’s Jackson, Anthony Parker (400 hurdles) and Rhionna Timmons (long jump) – and 25 top fives.
The meet was not team scored.
