Tis the season

Salem County basketball teams hit the court with scrimmages this week; Salem gets it started at Cinnaminson Monday

SALEM – When Anthony Farmer answers the phone and right off the bat apologizes for the raspiness of his voice, you know exactly what time of year it is.

“That means basketball season is here and we still have work to do,” he said.

It’s the price a coach pays for trying to get the most out of a team he believes has the potential to be pretty good.

Salem’s boys lost a couple dynamic scorers and rebounders off last year’s 13-13 team and a 6-8 transfer starter who didn’t make it through the first semester, but Farmer is confident his Rams have the makings to be even better than the 21-8 team they put on the floor in his first season two years ago.

That team enjoyed a 15-game winning streak in the middle of the season and wound up losing in the South Jersey Group I finals. They started last year with equally high hopes and a pair of top 20 wins, but went through some early-season turmoil and never quite recovered.

This year hopes are high.

“I’m excited about this year’s team,” he said. “I think we can get back to where we were a few years ago and in fact go even further. Salem hasn’t had that level of success in quite some time.”

His optimism is rooted in a veteran team with size inside and guard play that’s expected to be the strength of the team. The backcourt is anchored by senior Anthony Farmer and will get a boost from Tymear Lecator, a 6-1 transfer who is expected to be one of the top freshmen in the state.

The Rams are the first in Salem County to get things started Monday in a scrimmage at Cinnaminson. Everyone else in the county hits the court start Tuesday.

“Just (looking) for the guys to compete, not hang their head,” Farmer said. “It’ll look ugly at times because you’re not there, but just do the little things, compete, share the ball, take the right shots; just go in there and do the things that people don’t write about, but things that win games.”

The Rams open the season for real against defending Group I state champion Woodbury in Penns Grove’s Red Devil Classic. Later this month they’ll travel to Bayonne for a holiday tournament in which they’ll face a Charlestown (Mass.) team that went 21-5 a year ago. They have set up a GoFundMe page to help defray expenses on their first overnight tournament trip.

GLASSBORO – The Woodstown soccer team goes into the South Jersey Group I tournament feeling good about the turnaround it has put together during the season and on a roll after beating Glassboro 2-1 in its final regular-season game Monday.

Adrian Ibarra and Kaleb Gerace each scored a goal in the second half for the Wolverines in the battle of top four sectional seeds.

Ibarra opened the scoring seven minutes into the second half. Gerace made it 2-0 13 minutes later. Emirhan Kir’s penalty kick off an “unfortunate foul” in the box with 11 minutes left was the only thing that kept the Wolverines from posting a fifth straight shutout.

It was, however, their fifth win in a row, their second over Glassboro in the last four days and their sixth in the eight games (with one tie) since a 6-2 Alumni Night loss to Schalick in the football stadium.

“We had a lot of games over the last two weeks, so it’s been a grind, but we came in and kind of came out on top,” Woodstown coach Darren Huck said. “We didn’t play well against Audubon (the only loss in the home stretch), but when you play Schalick and two Colonial Conference teams, it wasn’t so much about wins and losses in that one, it was to see how we were going to battle and compete.

“We circle the wagons and bring them all back and remind them what the big picture is and remind them how one game doesn’t identify you in a good way or a bad way; let’s stay focused on what we need to do and they responded. I’m happy with my goalkeeper, how he responded from that tough night against Schalick, and defensively I’m happy with where we’re at right now.”

That would be 13-3-1 and the No. 3 seed in the SJ-I tournament;. A year ago they were 5-10-3 with seven one-goal losses and were something like 3-27 in the offseason going all over South Jersey playing larger schools. But they were playing and learning and growing.

Huck never lost faith and he was grateful the players didn’t either.

“I told them it’s not about the now, it’s preparing guys for the future,” he said. “I need all of you to believe and I will take you there, but do not lose confidence in what we’re doing.

“I had a parent today say I remember what you said in August in that last tournament; you said we’ll be just fine. I’m glad it worked this way. It made them believe they believed in me. I said this was going to happen.”

Ibarra’s goal was his 23rd of the season and 30th of his career. The nephew of Woodstown’s all-time leading goal scorer, Oscar Hernandez, Ibarra now has the second-most goals in a season by a junior in school history and has moved into the top 15 on the Wolverines’ all-time goals list.

“He’s really put it together,” Huck said. “He takes a lot of pride in being a complete soccer player, not just a scorer. He’s on the other end of assists, gets back defensively to help out. A lot of times he’ll ask me if I want him to drop back to help out the defense. He’s willing to take himself out of a scoring opportunity so we can get a win.

“He puts a tremendous amount of time into it. Many, many times I can go up to the park and he’ll be out there all by himself with a bag of soccer balls and some cones and he’s just working on his game. It’s good to see it all pay off for him.”

While Woodstown is going into the playoffs on a roll, Glassboro is looking to get back on track. The Bulldogs (12-5) have lost five of their last eight against some of their toughest opposition of the year after starting the season 9-0.

“We had a good regular season,” Huck said. “We can look back and say we had a nice season. We know the second season starts (Wednesday) and we’re going to try to go as far as we can.”

Pennsville 4, Salem Tech 1: Jake Isaac scored two first-half goals and assisted on the Eagles’ other two goals. It was his third multi-goal game of the season and fifth of his career. Stone Mumink gave the Eagles (6-12) a 3-0 lead and Kameron Brown got the Chargers (3-13-1) on the board before the end of the half. Shane Puckett scored Pennsville’s final goal in the second half.

GIRLS SOCCER
Woodstown 2, Glassboro 2: Emma Perry and Talia Battavio scored goals for the Wolverines (9-7-1), but Glassboro scored a goal in the second half to tie the match.

Pitman 5, Salem 0: Emery Sharpnack scored her 15th goal of the season to open the scoring and assisted on Alaina Williams’ goal in the second half. The Classic Division champion Panthers (13-4-1) are one of two teams to go through their Tri-County Conference schedule undefeated (10-0).

Pennsville 7, Salem Tech 0: Reagan Wariwanchik, Molly Gratz and Karsen Cooksey scored first-half goals and Cooksey completed the hat trick in the second half.

FIELD HOCKEY
Clearview 2, Woodstown 0: Marley Dutch scored a goal and assisted on Destiny Joseph’s score. The Group III Pioneers (12-5) peppered Woodstown goalie Shelby Foote with 29 shots.

Gloucester City 7, Pennsville 0: Lauren Perry scored four goals to lead the Lions (12-4).

Tech-nically tight

UPDATED
Rich wins super close boys race, VanHorn repeats in girls; GCIT, Morris Tech win team titles

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN — If you blinked at the finish of the boys race in Monday’s NJTAC cross country meet you missed it.

Camden Vo-Tech’s Julian Rich won by a mere 32-hundreths of a second, holding off Luke Damato of Medford Tech at the wire to win the state tech schools championship in the cross country equivalent of a NASCAR photo finish.

Rich covered the 5K at Salem Tech in 17:28.20. He turned on the jets in the final 100 meters or so to take the lead and then held off Damato’s sprint to catch up at the line. It was the closest boys finish since 2015 when the margin was 3.5 seconds.

It wasn’t a close enough finish for Rich to feel Damato’s breath on his back but he could feel the footsteps.

“It was tight the whole time,” Rich said. “We were close enough that we could’ve stepped on each other’s foot. It was a close race, but when we were coming down the home stretch I knew I had it. I’ve always had a good kick at the end, but once I saw him I just went.”

In his post-race analysis moments after the finish, Damato figured he exploded at the start and got ahead of Rich too early and created the tight finish. He wasn’t too disappointed, though. He was seconds off his personal best set two races ago.

“It was tight. He won. He beat me at the end,” he said matter-of-factly. “That last kick, if you’ve got that last kick you mostly won. You got it if you’ve got that. If that guy can pass me, he wins.

“I wasn’t that bummed. I think I did the best that I could. If that guy can pass me, he wins. He got me at the end, that’s all that really matters. He did it. That’s all I can say. I’m happy with my result. I’m happy with his result because he got first place. At the end of the day there’s nothing to be mad about. I ran a great race by my standards.”

VanHorn repeats, Seiden eighth

Girls winner Maya Van Horn had an easier time of it. She won the race for the second year in a row in a breezy 18:57.45, a comfortable two minutes ahead of runner up Micah Dilello of Sussex Tech. She’s coming off an 18:49.9 in her NJAC conference meet a week ago.

“It was a pretty awesome race,” she said. “Near me there’s a lot of hills and this was a pretty flat course today and that definitely made it a lot easier. It was a fun race.”

Salem Tech’s Sarah Seiden, the Salem County girls runner up, was eighth (22:22.42). She went out with the idea of keeping a steady pace over the first two-thirds of the race because there’s another race Tuesday, but felt good at that point and started picking off runners over the last 1000 meters.

The Chargers cap off a busy week Tuesday in the Tri-County Showcase at Cumberland. It will be their third race in seven days.

“A lot of stretching, a lot of sleep will probably do me good,” Seiden said. “We’ll see how tomorrow goes. I think I’ve got it.”

GCIT, Morris team champs

Gloucester Tech and Morris Tech won the boys and girls team titles, respectively.

GCIT won the boys team title the way you’re supposed to, bunching its runners in a tight group. Their counters finished 4, 6, 9, 10 and 11 in a spread separated by just 37 seconds. Gavin Hoover was their first across the line with a fourth-place 17:49:11.

“We train together and run together so it would make sense,” GCIT coach Rob Kijewski said. “Any time we compete and do well at these races, it has everything to do with, not so much winning the race, but always being able to bunch up and win out that way. We’re a team. We’re the definition of a what a cross country team really has to do to be at its best.”

With VanHorn setting the pace, Morris Tech’s girls put four runners in the top seven and all five counters in the top 16.

PITTSGROVE – After two years of frustrating finishes, the Schalick girls tennis team was ready to get the gator, er, monkey, off their back named Gateway.

The Cougars showed the grit and guile that has epitomized their season and knocked off the nemesis that beat them in the South Jersey Group I Tournament each of the last two years 3-2 to reach this year’s SJ-I finals.

The Cougars (17-2) will play at top-seeded Haddon Twp. (15-3) Tuesday for the sectional title and a spot in the Group I Final Four Oct. 19 at Mercer County Park.

“It was our day,” Schalick coach John Romano said. “Our girls came out there, they were prepared. They were ready to get the monkey off their back so to speak. They were just ready to take that step forward, and they did.

“The last three years it could have gone either way. We were fortunate to get the best of them this time.”

The Cougars swept the doubles points and ultimately clinched the match on junior Ally Green’s 6-1, 6-3 win over Allison Eckstein at third singles. Green trailed in the second set 3-2, then, showing the drive that took her from first doubles to No. 3 singles this season, won the next four games convincingly to win her match with one still on the court.

She knew the match was close, but she didn’t want to ask if it might come down to her court.

“I didn’t want to put it in my head and stress myself out, but I had a feeling when I saw our first single walk off and I saw the stress going on at second,” Green said. “There was definitely more pressure on that second set.

“I felt tired for some reason today and there was a point she had me 3-2. We had switched sides and I could hear her coach give her a lot of confidence and when other coaches are hyping someone against me it makes me a little more nervous.”

But she overcame that with a smooth, consistent approach to every shot and started clicking off points.

“Any time you play you want to have a solid third singles player,” Romano said. “We’ve been very fortunate over the past few years to have very, very good third singles players and she epitomizes that. She’s gritty, she gets everything back. That’s what their coach said: She gets everything back. She’s tough.”

The Cougars have been to the sectional semifinals or finals eight of the last 14 years. They’ve played Gateway in one of them four times.

The Gators ended their tournament dreams each of the previous two years, both in 3-2 nailbiters. It was in the sectional finals in 2021 and the semifinals last year.

“I really wanted that for (the seniors), this being their senior year and this being their last shot at it, so it made me really happy we were able to take them further,” Green said. “But not only them, I really wanted it for Romano because I knew how bad he wanted that win and I know he wanted the season to keep going, so to see him get happy on the side and he was all pumped up, it made us all really happy.”

The other sectional finals are Highland Park-New Providence (Central), Kinnelon-Glen Rock/Lenape Valley (North 1) and Whippany Park-Glen Ridge (North 2).
