First the tournament action: the FDU Team Challenge was won by the #15 Montville boys & the #17 Howell girls. I'll refer you to the always excellent dybuk75 for the recap. This event was bowled on a sport shot, so while the results matter subjectively, I won't penalize the teams that participated by logging their raw scores into their team averages.
The Brick tournament results are up on the Shore Conference site (in fact, they were up before I even went looking for them: thanks again, Coach Vargas). Hopefully there will be a writeup on nj.com at some point, since it seems weird to recap an event I wasn't able to attend, but I'll mention a couple of things.
The #1 Brick Memorial girls won the event by nearly 200 pins (yawn), but the battle for second was tight between #2 Brick Township, #3 Manchester Township & #6 Toms River South, with TRS taking it by 3 pins over Manchester with their season-best 2840. Central put up a season-high 2467 to finish 7th and Jackson Liberty put up a season-best 2422 (helped by Jasmine Brodowski's 644) to finish 8th in this very strong field. Manchester's Theresa Bedaro smoked the field in individual scores with a big 720. I'll tally the rest of the 600s in a bit.
The boys side looks to have been the high-level battle we might have expected, with #1 Woodbridge narrowly defeating #4 Brick Memorial and #9 Brick Township with scores at 3267-3212-3207 respectively. Unranked Edison outbowled two top-20 teams to finish 5th (2909), Both Jackson Liberty and Christian Brothers outperfomed their averages significantly to finish 6th and 8th respectively. As for individuals, Woodbridge's Kyle Bilawsky (743) proved himself a big-time tournament performer yet again, adding this title to his Bob James individual title earlier in the season, while Brick's Kyle Chirichello (715) scored the event's only other 700 and Woodbridge's John Drost missed by a stick (699).
Friday's regular season matches featured #4 Brick Memorial (still Lazarchickless, which is a totally real word) came up with a big 3236 behind Cameron Waldheim's 742 in a win over Southern. #14 Sayreville got back to their high-scoring ways in a win over Colonia (despite Colonia's season-high set of 2908), posting 3116, led by Chris DeOcampo's 723.
Fair Lawn is currently unranked, but showed their firepower with a 4-man 2410 on Friday. #3 East Brunswick got a battle from unranked Old Bridge but escaped with a 3-1, 3093-2980 victory. Bishop Ahr put up a season-high 2937 in their win over South River.
JP Stevens' Cameron LaPlant had the only other 700 I've seen, shooting 730.
Well, I more or less challenged the Manchester girls to defend their division supremacy against #12 Lacey, and they did just that, carding a big 2782 behind Theresa Bedaro (612) and Kimberly Wolf (613), and winning the match 2-1.
#2 Brick Township stole the South-A show from #1 Memorial, as the Dragons posted an almost-season-high 2954 featuring big scores from Julianna Forbes (625) and Cailyn Ryan (659). #7 Toms River North and state average leader Kamerin Peters (683) fired a season-high 2656 in a win over TRE.
A trio of unranked GMC squads looked good on Friday, as Colonia (2375), Monroe (2441) and South Brunswick (2385) posted top-20 level scores.
Other 600s:
Jillian Dambres, Hunterdon Central 623
Stephanie Sanders, Old Bridge 642
Jillian Stuart, Brick Memorial 672
Emily Alvarez, South Brunswick 634
Samantha Salzone, Edison 621 - 600
Natalie Swindell, Toms River South 679
Victoria Gray, Brick Township 632
Amanda Shelters, Brick Memorial 628
Laura Oliver, Central 618
Veronica Lewis, Brick Memorial 608
Kimberly Wolf, Manchester 604
Ok, that's it for this week. We'll have rankings Monday & Tuesday and a week of regular season matches leading to the Central Jersey Classic on Saturday and the Snowball tournament next Monday, among others.
