Salem Tech bringing field hockey, baseball, softball on line in upcoming academic year, runs lineup of sports to 14 

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

From the moment Salem County Vo-Tech instituted an athletics program the vision was to provide the most inclusive list of offerings. It’s been a slow process, but the growth has been steady, calculated and in line with the interests of the students. 

The Chargers are growing again, bringing on line three more sports for the upcoming school year – field hockey this fall and baseball and softball in the spring.

“We’re just really excited to get started and kind of see (how it goes),” athletics director Jim Helder said. “Knowing that the interest is there makes us excited. I always say if the kids are excited for it I’m all for it, because it tells me we’re offering meaningful programs for them.

“Whenever we decide to add a new sport it’s not something we just act on quickly. We have to make sure that interest is going to be there and we want to make sure it doesn’t pull away from our current offerings. So we did a lot of interest meetings, polling, things like that and we decided to move forward.”

The additional sports bring to 14 the number the school offers – boys and girls cross country, soccer, basketball, bowling and volleyball; boys/coed golf; and, now, field hockey, softball and baseball.

The new sports will classify as Group II for NJSIAA playoff purposes because of the way the governing body counts its populations and play in the Tri-County Conference Classic Division, a convenient and appropriate replacement for Wildwood returning to the Cape Atlantic League in 2026-27. They will compete as an independent this coming school year because the conference is in the second of a two-year schedule cycle, but will be eligible for the state playoffs.

The most recent NJSIAA documents for Fall 2025-26 sports, updated September 2024, place Vo-Tech’s enrollment at 614 (two above the field hockey Group II threshold). All the other high schools in Salem County compete in Group I.

With Tech’s expansion, five of the six Salem County high schools now will play field hockey and all six will play baseball and softball.

Vo-Tech administrators have had a desire to add baseball for a while and began making Tri-County Conference administrators and member schools aware of their intention to bring the three new sports aboard in 2025-26 in the fall. 

Coaches have been hired and facilities secured.

Maureen Lewis is the field hockey head coach, Pat Fisher will coach softball and John Helsel will coach baseball. All three are either teachers or staff members in the Vo-Tech school system and all have coaching experience on the school or youth levels. Fisher is the Cougars’ former boys basketball coach.

The Chargers will play all their home games in the new sports on dedicated on-campus facilities. The field hockey team’s first regular-season home game is Sept. 10 against Paulsboro. The spring schedules are still a work in progress.

The first-year schedules will be built around teams that did not qualify for the playoffs in their respective groups last season.

Because the programs are so new, Helder said it would “unfair” to place any expectations on their first-year success.

“I know as an AD I have three individuals (as coaches) who are going to run really good programs, that’ll be clean programs, the kids are going to learn a lot,” Helder said. “The coaches are going to give the kids everything they’ve got, which is really all I can ask for at that point.

“If they win, that’s kind of icing on the cake at that point. But our kids are going to learn these sports these sports the way, in my opinion, they should be learned, which is exciting.”

The additions have the potential to impact the rosters of the other county teams since the Salem Tech students who played their sport at their home district schools because Tech didn’t offer it previously now, by NJSIAA rule, have to play for the Chargers. 

“I can’t give the actual number (of those athletes),” Helder said, “but I’ve sat in on the interest meetings and when the field hockey coaches asked how many are currently playing for their home district I would say on average maybe five or six hands went up. There may be some, but it didn’t seem to me like an overwhelming number.”

Jaxson Raymond, a rising sophomore at Vo-Tech who played baseball for Penns Grove this past spring and started summer basketball workouts for the Chargers Monday, is pleased his school will have a baseball team.

“I’m kind of happy, now that I don’t have to go back and forth,” he said. “I can just keep my bag there.”

PHILADELPHIA – Graillyn Weber was a reliable top-of-the-lineup hitter for the Pennsville softball team this past high school season. She added another element to her arsenal Wednesday – power.

Returning to her customary 2-spot after two games near the bottom of the lineup, Weber smashed a two-run over-the-fence homer as the second hitter of the game sending the Tri-Cape All-Stars off to a 17-4 rout of Philadelphia Catholic to complete a three-game sweep of their pool in the Carpenter Cup Softball Tournament.

The sophomore infielder also had a two-run single in the second inning and an RBI single in the opener against Burlington County. For the day she went 3-for-8 with five RBIs, but it was the homer that created the buzz.

“I don’t know what it is,” she said. “I just keep getting that inside slightly high pitch and I’ve just been turning on it and boom. That’s probably my favorite pitch.

“It’s definitely a new experience for me. It’s such a crazy feeling. It’s just exciting.”

Weber hit one homer – the team’s only home run – as a .484 hitter for Pennsville this high school season, an inside-the-parker at Schalick on May 20. She hit her first over-the-fence homer for her travel team last weekend and now has two in the last 10 days.

“I know she was close a couple times,” Pennsville head coach and Tri-Cape assistant Beth Jackson said. “She hit the fence where it just needed a little bit more oomph and it probably would’ve went over.

“She batted in the sixth or seventh spot the first two games (sixth), then because the leadoff girls we had didn’t start the third we talked about the lineup and I said Graillyn batted second for me the whole season, so they put her in the 2-hole and that’s the game she hit the home run.”

Woodstown outfielder Ellie Wygand played in the second two games, getting two hits and scoring two runs. She went 1-for-2 against Suburban One/Bicentennial and 1-for-1 with two runs against Philadelphia Catholic.

Tri-Cape also defeated Burlington County 6-2 and SOL/BAL 5-4 in games played at the University of Pennsylvania. As winners of the C Bracket, they await the rain-delayed A Bracket runner-up in the first round of Monday’s knockout stage. The A Bracket, whose schedule has been hampered by bad weather and poor field conditions, is comprised of Olympic Colonial, Lehigh Valley, Jersey Shore and PCCAF. They will play Thursday at Marple Newtown High School.

Tri-Cape won the Cup two years ago. They also won it in 2014.

“You take a whole group of all-stars and we had two practices and then you put them out there together, it takes time,” Jackson said. “We always joke that when they start out they don’t say a whole lot and then usually halfway through the first day they’re talking and their friends. It’s always cool to see that they come together and play together.”

Beating the clock

Wednesday roundup: Woodstown’s 4×800 relay qualifies for nationals at Meet of Champions; Pennsville announces Hall of Fame Class, names Athletes of the Year

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

PENNSAUKEN – The Woodstown 4×800 relay team had one job in Wednesday’s NJSIAA Meet of Champions and they got it done.

Winning the race would have been a nice get, but the Wolverines were focused on posting a time that would get them in the New Balance Nationals at Franklin Field later this month.

They got it done, even with their anchor a little under the weather. The Group I champion quartet of Karson Chew, Jacob Marino, Cole Lucas and Josh Crawford finished fifth in the MOC, but their 7:54.84 set a new Group I record and got them into the nationals.

“One thing those guys won’t do is shy away from competition,” Wolverines coach Reggie Teemer said. “They feed off it.”

Salem County had athletes in 12 events at the all-group meet. Salem’s Anthony Parker had the best individual finish, placing fourth in the boys long jump with a best of 23-5. Crawford also finished seventh in the 800, Schalick’s David Stewart was eighth in the 400 hurdles and Cougars’ 4×100 relay team (Reggie Allen Jr., Michael Eberl, Zaeshawn Mills, David Stewart) finished sixth.

Woodstown’s 4×800 time was more than four seconds better than their winning time in last weekend’s Group I championship meet. They were just shy of a provisional qualifying time for the nationals, but wanted to run a race in their last chance to get in that would leave no doubt.

Chew led them out in 1:59.50. Marino kept them on pace with a 2:02.4. Lucas set them up with a 1:58.45. And Crawford, running with a “minor” cough and fever that “slightly impacted my running,” brought it home with two laps in the 50s and a 1:54.46. Christian Brothers Academy won the race with a collective 7:48.55.

“We came very mentally prepared to break our previous record in the 4×8 and qualify for the New Balance Nationals and I wasn’t going to let a sickness get in the way of that opportunity for my teammates,” Crawford said. “ I was proud of all my teammates for running this race as if it was our last and thankfully earning another opportunity because of the combined culmination of our efforts to give our senior, Cole, a sendoff for the record books.”

It was a busy day for the junior. He ran in three events. He ran 1:53.83 to get on the podium in the individual 800 and ran a leg on the 4×400 relay.

Here are the Salem County results from the Meet of Champions:

Pennsville tabs Hall class

PENNSVILLE – Five decorated athletes spanning five sports and four decades, three successful head coaches and two state champion teams will comprise the 2025 class that will be inducted into the Pennsville Memorial High School Athletic Hall of Fame.

The class was announced at the school’s annual awards assembly Wednesday night. It will be formally inducted in ceremonies at the school Oct. 7.

The class includes athletes Tom Ridgway (Class of 1978), HJ Lopes (’79), Lisa Doran (’86), Dannielle Dolbow-Darby (’95) and Ashley Minch (’08); coaches Ryan Wood (football/baseball), Jack Hathaway (soccer) and Dan LaMont (tennis/wrestling); and the 2005 state champion girls tennis and baseball teams.

“The Hall of Fame Committee did a wonderful job spanning several decades in putting together this year’s class,” Eagles athletics director Jamy Thomas said. “We have a wide variety of sports recognized with our inductees from field hockey, baseball, softball, soccer and tennis. The athletes in this group may have had one sport in which they truly shined, but each of them were great all-around athletes.

“In regards to the coaches being honored this year I have had the opportunity to be taught by Coach Hathaway as a PMHS student and work alongside Coach Wood and Coach LaMont. They are a group of great coaches and even more importantly are great people who are wonderful role models for our student-athletes.”

At the same assembly, potential future Hall of Famers Megan Morris and Connor Ayars were recognized as the school’s PEPPA Scholar-Athletes of the Year. Morris is a multiple state champion pole vaulter and tennis player, while Ayars is football/track standout. Both competed at the Meet of Champions prior to attending the ceremonies.

Megan Morris (L) and Connor Ayars were named Pennsville’s PEPPA Scholar-Athletes of the Year.

FRIDAY’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Haddon Twp. at Audubon

PENNSVILLE – Beth Jackson was 6 years old when Boston’s Bill Buckner booted that ball against the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series for the error heard ‘round the world. She was probably too young at the time to understand the magnitude of the play, but as she got older and came to learn and love the game the impact of play wasn’t lost on her.

The ghost of that play manifested itself nearly 40 years later Wednesday in Pennsville’s South Jersey Group I softball semifinal game against Haddon Twp. and it had as profound an effect on the team that made it as it did on the Sox.

The two-out error opened the door for a three-run inning that the second-seeded Eagles never quite recovered from in an eventual 8-2 loss. The win sends Haddon Twp. (17-8) to meet top-seeded  Audubon (18-7) Friday for the South Jersey Group I title, while the loss ended one of Pennsville’s winningest seasons ever.

Neither team scored in the first inning and Eagles starting pitcher Savannah Brewer-Palverento got the first two outs of the second, just like Red Sox did on the Mets that fateful 10th inning of Game 6 back in ’86. The Hawks got the next runner on and then Karsyn McCoy hit a ball off the end of the bat that rolled up the first base line.

Pennsville first baseman Makenzie Widener made a play on the ball at the bag and had it in her glove, but it spun out and caromed towards second base. She recovered it, but couldn’t get back to the bag in time to get McCoy. The next two batters, Grace Farah and left-handed third baseman Ariana Turkot, delivered RBI singles and suddenly the Hawks had three unearned runs and the Eagles were down 3-0.

“There was just a lot of spin on it and I couldn’t grab it correctly so I couldn’t get it in time,” Widener said. “I had it in my glove and it just (spun away).”

If you’re any kind of baseball fan it’s hard not to know the Buckner play. The Mets were down to their final strike of being closed out, but stayed alive and the error allowed them to win the game, tie the series and win it in Game 7. Both Jackson and pink-haired Haddon Twp. coach Pam McCabe got the connection when it came up in the post-game conversation.

“We’ve talked all year making mistakes and giving other teams extra outs and whatnot,” Jackson said. “We’re all human, we all make mistakes, it’s picking it back up and they did, but every game you have to make sure you make the plays and if you don’t, you give them the opportunity and they took advantage of it, which is tough.”

McCabe’s choice of hair color was the fulfillment of a promise she made to the players if they got this far in the playoffs. It’ll probably stay in for a couple months now, she said.

“They didn’t think I was going to,” she said. “I showed up today I think it pumped up me and my assistant more than it did them. They’re probably the quietest team I’ve ever coached in my life. 

The Eagles (21-4) did bounce back from that adversity and got within 3-2 when Graillyn Weber’s aggressive base running produced a run in the fourth and Kylie Harris’ sacrifice fly brought home another in the sixth. Weber was confirmed as a member of the Tri-Cape Carpenter Cup team after the game (along with Woodstown’s Ellie Wygand).

Although Brewer-Palverento pitched well for six innings, giving up only three hits and striking out three, Jackson replaced her with Weber to start to seventh inning in the hopes of giving the Hawks a different look. The visitors didn’t blink and erupted for five runs to put it out of reach.

Pitcher Jordan Strauss, Mikayla Callahan, Julie Broderick and Lexi Broderick delivered consecutive hits that drove runs home.

“They’d seen (SBP) four times already, I think they were on their fifth time seeing her,” Jackson explained. “She did an excellent job today with them, so I wanted to give them something else, just change it up a little bit.”

The last out Brewer-Palverento got in the sixth was her 100th strikeout of the season (and 190th for her career), a feat Jackson called “awesome.” The Eagles huddled around their pitcher as they came off the field and it actually confused her.

“I didn’t even know until they said something,” she said. “They all came up on me and I was like ‘What did I do?,’ the game’s not over with, what’s going on.”

The little celebration seemed to spark the Eagles briefly. When they came to the plate Lily Edwards slapped a leadoff single into left field, stole second, moved to third on Weber’s grounder to the right side and scored the Eagles’ second run on Harris’ sacrifice fly.

“We’ve been watching the College World Series and talking about that,” Jackson said. “Lily brought up errors were made in the games and how they have to have a short-term memory and forget about it and go on to the next one. Here they are at the highest level of softball and they make mistakes too and they didn’t give up. You have to stay at it all 21 outs.”

When the 21st out came for the Eagles Wednesday the season came to an end. There were a lot of tears in the outfield when the players gathered for their post-game huddle. Jackson even started to choke up when she reflected on the season they just completed.

“I told them they had nothing to hang their head about,” she said. “They gave it a good fight.”

AUDUBON 16, WOODSTOWN 0: The Wolverines felt ready and excited for the chance to take on the top-seeded Green Wave. They had learned people tell them that under the right set of circumstances they could pull the upset. 

It would take a near perfect game from the Wolverines to pull it off and in the end they fell victim to an 11-run first inning and never recovered.

“It was a shock for sure, but I wouldn’t say it was unexpected,” Woodstown coach Rob Hildebrand said. “We knew how good they were and we knew we were going to find out in the first three innings whether we were going to win that game. I would call it more of coming to fruition what we thought could happen.”

The Green Wave sent 16 batters to the plate in the first. It opened with three straight walks followed by a pair of RBI singles. After a strikeout, the next six batters reached safely extending the lead to 9-0. An error allowed the final two runs of the inning to score.

Audubon added five more runs in the second. 

“Their approach to the plate was by far the best team I’ve faced all year, not even close,” Hildebrand said. “I don’t know that I’ve seen a softball team that their approach, every batter, 1 through 9, probably 90 percent of the base hits against (Woodstown pitcher Leah Clark) were 1-2 or 2-2 counts. She was getting ahead and just couldn’t quite finish. That’s a testament to them. They are literally a fundamentally sound team.”

The Wolverines had two hits in the game, a two-out opposite-field single by Talia Guardascione in the first and Hannah Hitchner’s two-out single as their next-to-last batter in the fourth.
