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.

Ranney rallies “Max Strong” in support of head coach
A lot of people would term Ranney’s 63-61 loss to Roselle Catholic in the Non-Public “B” state championship game as heartbreaking, but it’s easy for the Panthers to put into perspective. Just days before the state finals, Ranney head coach Tahj Holden learned that his 16-month-old son Max as diagnosed with pediatric neuroblastoma, a form of cancer. With his son having surgery the day before Ranney’s biggest game in school history, the Panthers showed that they are a tight-knit group on and off the court. JSZ’s Jay Cook has the story in Toms River of how the Panthers are without a doubt “Max Strong” not just in Saturday’ state final, but throughout young Max’s battle against cancer: Coach Holden played high school basketball at Red Bank Regional before going on to the University of Maryland where he was a key contributor on the Terps 2002 national championship team. Holden was an assistant boys basketball coach at CBA before leading the Ranney program over the past three years. Over $130,000 has been raised via a GoFundMe page to help the Holden family with the medical expenses on the horizon. CLICK HERE to donate to Max Holden and his family
