Opponents on the gridiron team up to clean Keansburg beach

Over 80 players from Monmouth County high school football programs gathered for the second annual “Opponents on the gridiron, Teammates on the Bayshore” Keansburg beach cleanup. Players and coaches from Holmdel, Middletown North, Raritan and Keansburg were among the group that accumulated over 50 full bags of trash that are no longer a part of the Keansburg beach landscape. “The turnout is amazing and they are setting an example,” event director Paul Coughlin said. “Everybody gets busy, but the kids are out there – they come down here. Diverse communities – Holmdel, Middletown, Hazlet all coming together here for our community.” Jersey Sports Zone’s Jay Cook tells the story of high school football players from the Jersey Shore giving back to the community: Jersey Sports Zone is proud to partner with BCB-Bayshore, Your Community Bank. BCB-Bayshore is responsible for all the great sports highlights and features from Keyport, Keansburg, Holmdel, Raritan and Middletown North.

Holmdel Lacrosse Remembers Jack Dowd in a Special Way

The Holmdel Hornets topped Middletown North 7-2 on Friday night, but the game itself took a backseat to honor the home team’s fallen leader. Jack Dowd passed away suddenly on September 17 while playing club lacrosse. The junior collapsed and died due to arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, an undiagnosed congenital heart condition. ARVD is a genetic heart condition that effects 1 in 5000 teens and young adults according to the American Heart Association. With a strong showing from the Holmdel Hornets community, an emotional balloon release by the players on both sides and family and friends paid tribute to #9. And it was only fitting that Holmdel won the game with just nine players to start the game. With 9 total points (7 goals, 2 assists) and the combined score of 7-2, the number nine fittingly was the theme of the night. JSZ’s Jay Cook tells the story of how the Hornets lacrosse team and the entire community is still grieving, but are honoring Jack Dowd by sharing his love for lacrosse: Jersey Sports Zone is able to tell special stories like this one thanks to our great partners. A special thanks to BCB-Bayshore, Your Community Bank for allowing us to share highlights and special moments from the Holmdel Hornets all year long.

NJ’s top 5 ranked girls teams battle in Holmdel

The Coaches Choice USA Showcase features the current top five teams in the latest NJ girls basketball state poll. JSZ brings you action from all five games from Holmdel High School No. 4 Manasquan 53 No. 5 Rutgers Prep 42 The main event of the Coaches showcase was exactly what you’d expect from No. 4 Manasquan and No. 5 Rutgers Prep. These two put on a close back and forth scoring battle for four quarters that would be ultimately be decided in the final minute. The Warriors bounce back after falling to No. 3 Red Bank Catholic who knocked them out of the top spot. Virginia Tech bound stud Dara Mabrey scored 21 points. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez has the call: Saint Rose 84 Long Island Lutheran 83 (2OT) The Purple Roses held off an amazing comeback from nationally ranked Long Island Lutheran in a wild ending. Saint Rose built a 16 point lead in the fourth quarter before LI Lutheran began to extend the game with fouls. Celeste Taylor, committed to the University of Texas, sparked the comeback as part of her 29 point effort. Grace Stone, committed to Princeton, nailed a three-pointer as time expired in regulation to force overtime. The game would extend into double overtime as Long Island Lutheran had four of its five starters foul out along the way. Sam Mikos scored five points in the second OT for the Purple Roses, but Long Island Lutheran thought they forced triple overtime when Kendall Miller hit a shot from the corner. It looked like we were tied at 84, but the officials determined that Miller’s foot was on the three-point line and the buzzer beater became a two point shot instead of three. Lucy Thomas led the Purple Roses with 25 points as Saint Rose improved to 16-1 on the season. Watch the highlights of a tremendous game on Sunday afternoon: No. 1 St. John Vianney 83 St. Anthony (N.Y.) 54 The Coaches Choice Showcase at Holmdel high school brings together the best teams from the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania area so what a better matchup then newly No. 1 ranked St. John Vianney vs. NY powerhouse St. Anthony? It was a close battle early on with single digit lead changes flooding the first half.

Watch JSZ Thanksgiving Highlights Show

Happy Thanksgiving from Jersey Sports Zone. The tradition of rivalry football on Thanksgiving morning continues around the state as JSZ brings you nine games of action: Click above to watch highlights from the following games: Middletown South 21 Middletown North 7: Jake Krellin 3 TD runs, Matt Krellin 3 INT’s Easton (PA) 21 Phillipsburg 14: Israel Selassie game-winning 15 yard TD with :40 seconds left in 4th Burlington City 44 Palmyra 6: Jimmy Browne 321 yards, 3 TD’s Steinert 20 Hamilton West 19: Jordan Morrison 18 carries, 117 yards, 2 TD’s Rumson-Fair Haven 24 Shore Regional 6: Dan Harby 125 passing yards, 2 TD’s Holmdel 34 Raritan 9: Dean Gallo 18 carries, 164 yards, 3 TD’s Lakewood 26 Toms River South 12: Zyheir Jones 3 TD runs Timber Creek 42 Winslow Township 14: Devin Leary 12-19, 270 yards, 3 TD passes Williamstown 44 Washington Township 7: Devon Banks 170 yards receiving, 2 TD catches In case you missed it on Thanksgiving Eve….. Red Bank Regional 21 Long Branch 20 (OT) Nigel Mitchell had two TD runs including the game-winner in overtime as the Bucs stun the Green Wave in the 95th meeting between the two schools during the Thanksgiving holiday. Makai Mickens had a 21 yard TD run, an interception and a blocked extra point in overtime. Long Branch played from behind the entire game, scoring late in the first half to draw even 7-7 and then scoring with under four minutes to go on a Jermaine Corbett 3 yard TD run to tie the game at 14 and force overtime. The Green Wave got the ball first in OT and La’Qym Morris scored from six yards out, but Mickens was able to block the extra point. It set the stage for Mitchell to cash in from 11 yards out and Chris Maida boot the extra point to seal the upset win. It was sweet redemption for Red Bank Regional who lost two previous overtime games in 2017 including a missed extra point in a heartbreaking loss to Monmouth Regional. Long Branch drops to 8-3 and now puts their focus on a sectional championship game next week with Freehold Boro at Rutgers. Watch the highlights of a great appetizer for JSZ’s Thanksgiving football coverage:
