Wolverines sweep

Farrell, repeat winner Marino lead Woodstown to its first boys-girls team sweep in Salem County Cross Country Championship since 2011

WOODSTOWN – After dutifully following the leaders for three years waiting for his turn, David Farrell has finally become the leader of Woodstown’s cross country pack and has embraced the role and all of its responsibilities.

Where once he was making his way behind two or three older veterans, he’s the one bringing them along now. He was right where he was supposed to be Wednesday, leading the Wolverines across the line to win the Salem County Cross Country boys race and lead them to another team championship.

Farrell ran the 5K course at Salem Tech in 16:38.89. Woodstown won the team title for the third year in a row, placing all five counters in the top 10 and trimming runner-up Salem Tech by 13 points.

Abby Marino ran away with the girls race despite battling seasonal stuffiness, winning in 18:51.24, a time that was five seconds faster than the PR she ran finishing second at the Osprey Invite two weekends ago and nearly two and a half minutes ahead of race runner-up Sawyer Slad of Pennsville. It was more than a minute faster than her winning time a year ago at Schalick.

She also led the Wolverines to their first girls county team title since 2015, edging Schalick in what became a head-to-head team competition by 13 points and ending the Cougars’ seven-year stranglehold on the crown.

It was the first time since 2011 the Wolverines swept both team county titles.

In his first three years in the program, Farrell was always among the Wolverines’ top runners, but in the pecking orderthe he was always a follower. As a freshman, he was behind Karson Chew and Jake Marino. As a sophomore it was Chew, Marino and Cole Lucas, and then last year it was back to Chew and Marino. Always a vital cog, even to the decorated 4×800 relay team in the spring, but always deferring to the captains.

With all of them now gone, he was now the alpha with a county title within his grasp, but he was always cognizant of his responsibility.

“It sort of felt like the team was handed over to me, like I have to be responsible now,” Farrell said. “Being a captain is a little different. I was always with those guys and they were always pushing me (to succeed), so I’m doing the same thing to rest of the team.

“(Coach Steve New) said a team is only as good as its captain allows it to be. That requires whoever is captain to uplift the rest of the team. I want to see them do well, so I try to push them every day. The biggest difference is now I’m the one getting asked the questions, so I have to know those things more and lead the team. Every other race before this I would just look at our captain. I’d try to stick to them. Now I’m trying to push the other guys.”

New never doubted Farrell had the wherewithal to assume the leadership position.

“Dave puts all the work in, so I’m not worried about that,” New said. “That kid works his tail off. You don’t have to worry about him ever putting in the necessary work to get the job done, so I’m not concerned about his training ever and he’s a smart kid. He understands how to race. He’s been in so many high-pressure situations this past winter on that 4×8 that like any race he comes to now it’s almost lower pressure even though it’s just on him. He knows how to handle it. He knows how to deal with it. He’s battle tested.

“He knew what he needed to do. He was around hard workers when he came in. He’s a hard worker himself. I don’t think it was a difficult transition for him because he works so hard on his own anyway. Getting him to run hard is not a challenge.”

And New thinks the senior still has more to show. He sometimes goes out a little more conservative than the coach would like and the day he goes out fast the coach is convinced “he’s going to light it up.”

On Wednesday he led a tight group off the start line as the Wolverines tried to pack run early to establish control. About a mile into the race Farrell figured he could take it from there and proceeded to stretch it out. He finished 32 seconds ahead of runner-up teammate Pacey Hutton.

Marino, meanwhile, just didn’t feel good all day, but nothing was going to keep her from going to the start line and give it all she had. It was simply, as always, a case of mind over matter – if she didn’t mind, it didn’t matter.

She broke out early and was never threatened. Her lead was so large for so long, she was appreciative of the coaches and teammates finding her at various points on the course to offer encouragement and keep her engaged. She admitted if they weren’t there she would’ve sat back a lot more.

“The temperature change has been rough,” she said. “I really couldn’t breathe through my nose the whole race. It definitely didn’t feel good. It made it super hard, but it’s more of a mental (challenge) than anything. If you believe you can do it, you can do it. I have a job to do and I’m going to do it to my best ability.”

All in all, it was a day that put her beliefs in competition to the test and confirmed her approach to the sport.

“If you put your mind to it, you can do anything, especially cross country along with a lot of other sports,” she said. “It’s all mental and once you realize if you believe in yourself you can really push your limits so much more.”

Hall inducts new class

Eclectic class of inductees to be enshrined in the Salem County Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies at Salem CC in January

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

This year’s Salem County Sports Hall of Fame induction class has it all. It covers a variety of sports, a cross-section of the high schools in the county and even some international flair.

It features a legendary coach, one of the most prolific scorers in county basketball history, an athlete whose success reaches from the field to the sidelines, one of the best athletes the county ever produced, a World Cup soccer player and an administrator who raised the entire athletics profile at his school.

This year’s Hall of Fame induction class features – drum roll, please – Geoff Shute, Joe Hickman, Sean Collins, Steve Ware, Tierrny Wiltshire and community honoree Jack Swain.

“It’s an extraordinary group of athletes and coaches, a well-deserved honor and I’m privileged to be able to do this,” said Salem Community College president and SCSHOF committee member Mike Gorman, “When you look at Shute and Collins, they have coaching resumes that are extraordinary. Collins also has a player’s resume that is well deserving. Hickman was a legend in basketball in the county.

“Look at Steve Ware. I was his assistant principal at that time, so I knew that Class of ’85 very well – and it’s one of the few times that Woodstown beat Delsea. And Tierrny –the World Cup. Most of us didn’t even have tickets to the World Cup much less be playing in it.”

Shute was Pennsville’s cross country coach from 2001 t0 2016, compiling a dual meet record of 114-15 with 77 wins in a row between 2004 and 2016. He won 11 Tri-County Conference division titles, nine Salem County crowns and the 2006 state championship among his eight top-five finishes at the state meet.

Hickman is Woodstown’s all-time leading scorer in basketball (1,726 points) and tied for fourth on the Salem County all-time list. He remembered for being a leader on some Wolverines teams in the early ’70s that endured some tough times.

“I’ve had an opportunity to talk to a lot of people in the community that know him,” Woodstown athletics director Joe Ursino said. “Obviously I don’t know him well because my time started after his involvement, but there’s more than just the basketball side of it. From the stories I hear and the teams he was on, some of the things, just the way the world was, that that team went through, the first thing everybody will tell you is he was a leader of that team. On top of that, his play made it evident he was going to lead the team.

“I had an opportunity to sit next to him at the playoff game when we went to Salem last year. I don’t know if he knew who I was, but I knew who he was and for me, as a former basketball coach, a former coach at Woodstown, it was a neat experience, because you could still see his passion for Woodstown, you can see his passion for the game. When you’re a basketball player and you know how to play the game, it doesn’t matter what year the game is being played in you can find the intricacies of it and you could see him recognizing them. It was just neat to be part of that.”

Ware was a three-sport athlete at Woodstown who went on to set football records at Trenton State (now TCNJ). In 1984 he set the school’s single-game rushing record that stood until 2022 and in 1985 set the single-season rushing record that also stood until 2022. 

Collins enjoyed success both as a player and a coach. He was a multiple all-star in football, baseball and basketball, His 1,393 career points in basketball ranks in the top 20 on the county list. As a coach he won more than 100 games and two different schools (111 at Schalick). He has now been inducted into six Halls of Fame.

Wiltshire was born in Elmer and played three seasons at Schalick, where she also played basketball and ran track. After high school she played a Rutgers, then played professionally overseas and in the NWSL ultimately competing for Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

The sixth member of the class, Swain, is the retiring superintendent of Salem County Vocational Technical Schools. During his tenure Salem Tech has built an entire athletics program at the school, providing its student-athletes the chance to play for the school they attend. After bringing field hockey, baseball and softball on line last year, about the only sports missing from the school’s lineup is football and wrestling.

The committee also will be recognizing Pennsville’s 2006 cross country state championship team coached by Shute, as well as this past academic year’s state champions.

This Hall of Fame class will be enshrined in Salem CC’s Davidow Theatre on Jan. 15, 2027, a seasonal date that will remain consistent on the Hall calendar going forward. The event is free and open to the public.

WOODSTOWN – The seedings said Woodstown was the favorite, but the Wolverines looked very much like the underdog.

Metuchen came to the Woodstown Tennis Complex Tuesday with a one-loss record and No. 6 seeding, but headed back up the turnpike after sweeping the third-seeded Wolverines 5-0 in the quarterfinals of the South Jersey Group 1 tennis tournament.

“It’s a little curious; they probably should’ve been a lower number,” Wolverines coach Jesse Stemberger said. “In a match like that you’ve got to play perfect and you’ve got to play perfectly in at least three positions to get that done and we didn’t do that. I think we left some points out there.

“They came out fast and once you find yourself down it’s tough. It’s tough to climb out of.”

The Bulldogs (11-1) clinched the match with wins at both doubles and No. 1 singles. The Wolverines (8-7) didn’t go quietly, though. Even though the match was decided, No. 3 singles Angelina Lindenmuth came from 6-5 down in the second set to win the set in a tiebreaker (7-2) before losing the 10-point match tiebreaker 10-0.

“I thought she did a nice job; I thought she battled,” Stemberger said. “The tiebreakers are obviously tough. The last three matches we played some pretty tough teams and sometimes you gotta look for a break and I knew I wasn’t going to get one today.”

The loss doesn’t end Woodstown’s season. They get right back at it Thursday in a TCC Diamond Division showdown with Schalick. The Wolverines hold a one-game lead on the Cougars in the standings and would go up by two games on everybody with two to play if they win.

“Where we are from where we started I think we’re improving and we’re doing well,” Stemberger said. “Just trying to get better every day.”

WOODSTOWN – And the young ones led them on Senior Day.

Freshman Mariah Hyman had a goal and an assist, sophomores Hailey Kucharczuk and Genevieve Flynn each scored and the defense was impenetrable as Woodstown blanked Overbrook 3-0 before celebrating its four seniors. It was the seventh time this year the Wolverines (9-2-1) rendered an opponent scoreless.

Hyman assisted on Kucharczuk’s goal midway through the first half and scored her own with 14 minutes left in the match. Flynn scored on a long shot 10 minutes before halftime.

“We possessed super well in the first half,” Woodstown coach Kieran Keyser said. “Overbrook packed it in pretty good; they were blocking shots left and right. We got a ton of shots on goal, couldn’t convert. It took us 20 minutes to break in. Once we scored the first goal we kind of relaxed and settled in.

“It’s great to get a win on Senior Night. We have four seniors. Huge part of the program and sad to see them go, but happy to get a win on Senior Night.”

The Wolverines’ four seniors are Ally Sheppard, Delia Hahn, Sadie Moore and Reese Venable. They were recognized with posters behind the dugout and their jersey numbers stenciled along the sideline, and honored in ceremonies after the game.

“Our seniors played well,” Keyser said. “We don’t have a senior goal-scorer, not that we don’t have scorers who are seniors, but we have more underclassmen and both our senior starters are backs and one of them works in at the middie. We had to get the job done and the freshmen pulled through.”

SCHALICK 7, PENNS GROVE 0: Olivia Vanacker scored twice and Mackenzie Talarico had a goal and two assists to lead the Cougars (8-2). Giuliana Martin, Kassady Sickler, Karlie Bakley and Nicolette Bloomer each had one goal. The Cougars’ last seven wins have all been by shutout.

CLAYTON 6, PENNSVILLE 0: Nicole Lemon and Mikaela Sciubba both had hat tricks and the Clippers scored three goals in each half.

PITTSGROVE – Marco Spinnato continued his scoring assault on Salem County teams in general and Penns Grove in particular when he scored a pair of goals in Schalick’s 6-0 win over Penns Grove.

Spinnato, a junior, scored both of his goals in the first half. It was the second time this year he’s scored a pair against the Red Devils. Of his 18 career goals, 11 have come against Salem County opponents, nine in five games against Penns Grove.

Tim Koering also scored twice. Tyler Vanlier and Ryan Loper each scored once.

WOODSTOWN 3, OVERBROOK 0: Ayden Ellis scored twice and Landon Gugliemo once and the Wolverines’ defense kept the Rams off keeper Lee Coombs to snap a three-game losing streak, their longest since 2022.

Holmes’ big shot helps Woodstown beat Schalick for second time this season; Salem Tech just about seals up division title

WOODSTOWN – Lux Holmes couldn’t say she was surprised by the first question in her post-game interview. Woodstown had just scored a huge TCC Diamond Division win over archrival Schalick 3-1 with Holmes scoring the final goal, but instead asking about the impact of the game the inquisitor wanted to know the impact she had on the ball.

How hard do you hit that field hockey slap shot?

Holmes hit a rocket from the top of the circle with 10:33 left in the third quarter that would make Alex Ovechkin feel proud. The ball made a loud bang in the back of the cage after it whizzed past Schalick goalie Jayonna Johnson’s left shoulder in a blur.

“It’s probably like 90 percent of the things they say about hockey; it’s always about my hits,” the junior back said. “It’s pretty much everything they bring up. They usually ask how I do it and if I can pass it down. Usually they wonder how I do it and I couldn’t tell you.”

They can’t argue with the results.

Counting the one she got Tuesday, Holmes has scored four goals in her high school career and they’ve all come off big hits, usually with somebody getting it to her off a corner. “I’ve never been one of the ones to tap it in,” she said.

She’s never had her shot measured and Wolverines coach Gloria Byard never thought to do it. “That’s a good idea, though; I think I should figure it out,” Holmes said. Suffice to say you don’t want to stand in front of it without goalie pads, and even then it doesn’t tickle.

“I’ve always said when we do corners I want the ball to go to Lux,” Byard said. “Lux, Brooke (Dillon) too at times, Shyann (Higinbotham), because they’re very difficult to see. With a hit like that, I have no guess as to miles per hour or anything, but it’s very strong very powerful, very accurate.

“But they’ve gotta feel they can do it. It’s hard to convince kids today you’re in control. At times they panic, I wouldn’t ask you take the shot or do what I’m asking you to do if I didn’t have trust in you or think you can do it. They want to do a lot of these fancy plays. Get a shot off. I’m old school – get the ball to the top of the circle, get a shot off, and I think that happened twice for us.”

There was a lot on the line in the game. Schalick was riding a seven-game winning streak after a balky start and one game behind the Wolverines in the loss column in the division standings. Woodstown was looking to snap a two-game losing streak and complete a season sweep of their rival, getting a bit of payback after the Cougars beat them twice the year before. The teams started the day 6-7 in the South Jersey Group 1 power points standings.

“We just wanted to pay them back from last year; they beat us twice last year,” Byard said. “I know they lost a few key players, so did we, but it was a little rivalry thing here and paybacks. I told them they beat us twice last year, so let’s return the favor.”

The Wolverines scored twice in the first quarter and never looked back. Talia Guardascione scored five minutes into the game and Joey Foote scored off a corner as time was expiring. Paisley Warner got Schalick within 2-1 when she made a spin move in front of an open net and scored 2:46 before halftime.

SALEM TECH 3, GLOUCESTER CATHOLIC 1: The Chargers all but locked up their first TCC Classic Division title in their first year eligible. Their seventh straight win left them 6-0 in the division, two games ahead of each Pennsville and the Rams and they handed those teams both their division losses.

“I didn’t think it was going to be a long time (before they won a division title), but I didn’t think it was going to be as short as the time was,” junior forward Gina LaRosa said Monday. “I think we really came together as a team and made it happen.”

Getting out fast has been a key element for the Chargers (8-2) during their seven-game winning streak, but it was the Rams (2-4) who struck quickly in this one as Alana Bellan found the back of the goal 20 seconds into the game. 

Abby Beals got the equalizer and Hayden Crispin made it 2-1 before the first quarter ended. Araya DiGregorio scored the final goal in the third quarter.

PENNSVILLE 3, SALEM 0: Laura Tamberella, Toni Tobin and Polina Wright all scored goals as the Eagles (3-7) snapped a six-game losing streak. Kendall Hoyt had two assists.

WOODSTOWN – When Salem Tech decided to start a field hockey program last year, the Chargers didn’t think it would take them long to be a competitive program. For that matter, they didn’t think it would take them long to win a division championship, either.

The Chargers proved they were competitive last year, winning nine games against a soft-ish regular season schedule designed to get their feet wet as a Group 2 independent. Now, they are on the cusp of winning their first division title in their first year eligible.

The Chargers moved a step closer to raising a banner Monday with a wind-swept 6-1 win over Pennsville. They can clinch no worse than a tie for the TCC Classic Division crown if they beat Gloucester Catholic Tuesday. A win in that game would leave them undefeated in the division with two winnable games remaining. The two teams chasing them would each have two division losses and the Chargers would have given both of the them both of them.

The nine games they won last year were as many as Classic co-champs Pennsville and Gloucester Catholic won overall, and they had a better won-loss record. They weren’t included in the division mix because they had come on board in the middle of a scheduling cycle.

“I think we were really competitive from the get-go because we were just really competitive girls coming into this and everyone wanted it,” junior forward Gina LaRosa said. “Everyone worked really hard and it became a vision.”

“I didn’t think it would take very long,” sophomore forward Hazel Eachus added. “We have a very skillful group of girls and we all work together very well.”

The Chargers (7-2, 5-0) took control of this one early. Eachus scored the first of her two first-quarter goals less than two minutes into the game. LaRosa scored two goals in the fourth quarter. In between, Hayden Crispin and Jessilyn Chambers found the back of the net. 

To show their dominance in the game, the Chargers sent 20 shots in on Pennsville goalie Avery Manguez and had 16 corners. The win extended their school-record streak to six games.

“I think they played well,” Tech coach Maureen Lewis said. “They’ve been going out strong and I think that’s the key for our team.”

The Eagles had maybe three attacks in Salem Tech’s end. They scored their goal with five seconds left in the game when Laura Tamberella collected a loose ball at the top of the circle and broke in on Chargers keeper Caroline Tighe.

PENNSVILLE – Abigail Beals, Hazel Eachus and Adessa Plum scored two goals apiece and the two-year-old Salem Tech field hockey program took the upper hand in the Tri-County Classic Division with a school-record 10-0 rout of Pennsville Thursday.

The Chargers (6-2, 4-0) are the last remaining undefeated team in Classic Division play. They hold a 1½ game lead over Pennsville in the standings.  Last year, in their inaugural season, they played as a TCC independent while they awaited the new scheduling cycle.

Jessilyn Chambers, Hayden Crispin, Avery Dalton and Gina LaRosa scored their other goals. Crispin was credited with three assists.

The Chargers have won their last three games by scores of 10-0, 9-0 and 6-0. They have now won five in a row, matching their longest winning streak in program history.

The teams play again Monday.

BOYS SOCCER
SCHALICK 1, CLEARVIEW 0: Nolan O’Toole converted a penalty kick in the 81st minute for the game’s only goal and Nick Latona made eight saves in his fourth shutout of the season. According to reports, Marco Spinnato was sent in on net and taken down from behind in the box to set up the PK. The Cougars (6-2) have won four in a row, outscoring their opponents 13-1.
