Atlantic Physical Therapy Week 5 Shore Conference Football Previews and Picks

We have hit a lull in the action in terms of divisional races. This week features all non-division games with one non-conference game on the schedule. With all the crossover action, many teams have an opportunity to move up or break into Stumpy’s Top 12 rankings next week.

We are getting down to crunch time in the divisional races. Class A South and Class C North each feature a matchup between the top two teams in the division, with the winners gaining the upper hand by moving into sole possession of first place. For teams already sitting on one or two losses, there is little to no margin for error the rest of the way, and they will need some help elsewhere in the division to stay in the race.

This year’s picks and previews are sponsored by Dave Manzo and Atlantic Physical Therapy.

Previews

Barnegat at New Egypt, Thursday at 6 p.m.

The Bengals enter this matchup as a significant favorite, carrying a perfect 5-0 record into the game. The teams have two common opponents in Lakewood and Manchester, and while their results against Lakewood were similar, their performances against Manchester tell a much different story. Barnegat overwhelmed Manchester, 55-6, while New Egypt suffered a 7-3 loss to the Hawks.

Barnegat has dominated on both sides of the ball, outscoring its five opponents 179-13. The Bengals feature a balanced rushing attack led by junior Ryan Fitzpatrick and senior Chris Santero, who are both approaching 300 yards and have scored four touchdowns apiece. Senior quarterback Nick Malinowski has also been efficient when called upon, completing 14 of 24 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns. His opportunities have been limited largely because Barnegat has built sizable leads quickly throughout the season, negating the need to throw the ball.

Meanwhile, New Egypt’s offense runs almost entirely through junior quarterback Thomas Marabuto. He has thrown for 758 yards and six touchdowns against just one interception while also leading the team with 405 rushing yards and six touchdowns.

One intriguing matchup to watch could be Barnegat’s highly-touted sophomore defensive back Chancellor Joseph against New Egypt junior wide receiver Joe Snyder. Snyder has emerged as Marabuto’s top target, leading the Warriors with 25 receptions for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Keyport at Asbury Park, Friday at 5 p.m.

For the first time since Week 0, Asbury Park will face a fellow Group 1 opponent. The Blue Bishops will look to build on the connection between sophomore quarterback Braylon Johnson and junior wide receiver Cameron Beradesco after the duo connected for a touchdown in last week’s loss to Monmouth.

Keyport, meanwhile, will look to rebound after having its six-year winning streak against rival Keansburg snapped last week. The Red Raiders have a quality passing combination of their own in senior quarterback Marshall Collangelo and senior wide receiver Chris Herrara. Herrara leads Keyport with 13 receptions for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Freehold Boro at Freehold Township, Friday at 6 p.m.

The Patriots enter this matchup as heavy favorites against a Freehold Boro team that has struggled to an 0-5 start. The major storyline, however, is the status of Freehold Township senior quarterback Dakota Lasater, who exited last week’s loss to Shore with an injury and did not return. Sophomore Anthony Kokotis replaced him and completed 4 of 6 passes for 37 yards in relief. With such a limited sample size, it remains to be seen whether Kokotis can step in and keep the Patriots’ Air Raid offense operating at its usual pace if Lasater is unable to go.

If Kokotis gets the start, one of the biggest questions will be how the Patriots approach the offense. The Patriots could hand the sophomore the keys to the passing game or take some pressure off him by leaning more heavily on senior running back Dennis Quattrache III.

Both teams lean heavily on their passing attacks. Freehold Boro sophomore quarterback Adrian KrKuti has thrown for 448 yards and three touchdowns, while the Colonials have rushed for just 166 yards as a team this season.

 

Neptune at No. 4 Brick Memorial, Friday at 6 p.m.

The Mustangs enter this matchup as significant favorites against a Neptune team that has opened the season 1-4. The Scarlet Fliers have allowed at least 130 rushing yards in each of their four losses, and they could face their toughest test yet against Brick Memorial’s powerful ground game. Behind a stout offensive line, senior running back Colin Schoellkopf has rushed for 585 yards and six touchdowns. Senior quarterback Tyler Pierce adds another dimension with his legs, rushing for 338 yards and three touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, Brick Memorial’s sizable defensive front will be tasked with containing Neptune senior dual-threat quarterback Caleb Brown-Mason. He has thrown for 830 yards and seven touchdowns against five interceptions while also leading the Scarlet Fliers with 396 rushing yards and five touchdowns.

For Neptune to have success offensively, protecting Brown-Mason will be crucial. If the Scarlet Fliers can give him enough time, he has a pair of dangerous senior wide receivers in Jason Whittaker, who has 24 receptions for 345 yards and three touchdowns, and Hassin McMillian, who has caught 18 passes for 248 yards and three scores.

 

Brick at Monmouth, Friday at 6 p.m.

The Falcons will put their perfect 5-0 record to the test against a Class B South opponent in Brick that enters riding a two-game winning streak. This represents a significant step up in competition for Monmouth, which has yet to face a team from either of the A or B divisions this season.

Brick will look to establish its ground game behind newly converted senior quarterback Rowan Foy, who has rushed for 303 yards and three touchdowns, with most of that production coming since making the position switch. Monmouth will lean on a pair of disruptive junior defensive linemen to slow down the Dragons’ rushing attack. Ryan Fleury has recorded nine tackles for loss, while Amari Roach has added eight.

On the other side, Monmouth junior quarterback Ryan Corwin has plenty of weapons at his disposal. Corwin has thrown for 697 yards and 10 touchdowns against just one interception while directing a red-hot Falcons offense. Junior wide receiver Donovan Hicks leads the team with 15 receptions for 244 yards and four touchdowns, while fellow junior Liam Faulkner has caught 13 passes for 155 yards and three scores.

Brick’s defense will need to find a way to disrupt Corwin before he can get the ball to his playmakers. Junior Nathaniel Lloyd leads the Dragons’ pass rush with three sacks and will be a key part of their effort to slow down one of the Shore’s hottest offenses.

 

Colts Neck at Toms River South, Friday at 6 p.m.

Both teams enter this matchup looking to bounce back after losses snapped their respective two-game winning streaks. Toms River South leans on senior running back Kavon Metellus, who has rushed for 324 yards and seven touchdowns. Colts Neck counters with a one-two punch in the backfield, as sophomore Trevor Baum has rushed for 278 yards and seven touchdowns while junior Mike Arminante has added 219 yards and three scores.

The teams have attempted a similar number of passes this season, but Toms River South has produced more than 200 additional yards through the air. That production has come with a drawback, however, as the Indians have thrown six interceptions.

Protecting the football will be paramount for Toms River South. The Indians have committed at least one turnover in each of their last four games, making ball security a key factor as they look to get back in the win column.

 

No. 9 Point Boro at Lacey, Friday at 6 p.m.

Point Boro will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak and enters as a significant favorite against a Lacey team that has been shut out in each of the last two weeks. The Panthers’ recent slide has come against a difficult stretch of opponents, with all three losses coming by seven points against ranked teams in Toms River North, Southern and Brick Memorial.

Lacey has faced just one ranked opponent this season, falling 35-6 to Middletown North. The Lions’ primary challenge will be slowing down Point Boro senior quarterback Jake Clayton, who has rushed for 513 yards and eight touchdowns, accounting for more than half of the Panthers’ rushing production.

Creating negative plays will be crucial if Lacey hopes to disrupt Point Boro’s option attack. The Lions have four defenders with at least six tackles for loss, led by senior linebacker Jake Sturman with nine. Finding the same penetration against Point Boro’s offensive line, however, will present a difficult challenge.

 

Lakewood at Pinelands, Friday at 6 p.m.

Pinelands enters as a heavy favorite as the Wildcats look to improve to 6-0, while Lakewood remains in search of its first victory after an 0-5 start.

Much has been made of the Wildcats’ outstanding rushing attack, which has piled up 1,093 yards, but their passing game has been very efficient despite being used sparingly in several lopsided victories. Senior quarterback JJ Jenkins has completed 35 of 53 passes for 563 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Senior wideout Anthony Bonds has been his top big-play threat with 17 receptions for 366 yards and three touchdowns, while fellow senior Dom Colosi has added 18 catches for 182 yards and a score.

On the other side of the ball, Pinelands will take aim at a remarkable fifth consecutive shutout. Standout linebackers Montrell Carter and Paul Veneri have helped anchor the defense, but senior linebacker Owen Taylor’s contributions deserve plenty of recognition as well. Taylor has quietly amassed 37 tackles through five games.

 

Ocean at Long Branch, Friday at 6 p.m.

A longtime rivalry gets another chapter, with an added storyline as Ocean head coach Chad King faces the program he previously led as a head coach.

The Spartans have found success on the ground, rushing for 811 yards as a team. Senior quarterback Jake Garrett has been at the center of that production with 360 yards and six touchdowns, while sophomore running back Brayln Thompson has contributed 227 yards and four scores. Long Branch will look to build off a strong defensive showing against Manchester in which it held the Hawks to seven points. Sophomore defensive lineman Jayvon Jeter was particularly disruptive, finishing with six tackles and a team-high three tackles for loss.

Long Branch also got its ground game rolling last week, piling up 285 rushing yards. Senior fullback Julian Otey led the way with 152 yards and a touchdown, while senior running back Uzziah Puryear added 83 yards and a score. That will put the responsibility on an active Ocean defensive front led by senior defensive lineman Taejon Nevins (12 TFLs), junior defensive lineman Aamir Byrd (8.5 TFLs) and senior linebacker Jake Volek (6 TFLs). Discipline will be critical for that group as the Spartans look to stay sound in their option responsibilities.

 

No. 5 Toms River North at Manalapan, Friday at 6 p.m.

The biggest question surrounding this matchup is the status of Toms River North senior quarterback Cole Garrison, who exited last week’s win over Jackson with an injury. In his absence, the Mariners turned to a combination of senior wideout Wesley Tanner and sophomore quarterback Frank Slaughter. Tanner provided a major spark on the ground, rushing for 202 yards and three touchdowns, while Slaughter handled more of the passing duties, completing 4 of 7 passes for 29 yards with an interception.

Regardless of who takes the snaps, the Mariners’ offensive line will face a Manalapan defense eager to break through after three consecutive losses to ranked opponents. Slowing down Toms River North’s run-heavy power spread will be the priority, and the Braves have three defenders that have been credited with eye-popping tackle totals in Chase Osmun (70), Donny Rocco Sosa (60) and Ethan Fogelstrom (54).

Manalapan presents its own challenges on the ground with senior running back Nick Palmieri, who has rushed for a team-high 407 yards and five touchdowns in the Braves’ Gun-T offense. He will be a focal point for a Toms River North defense currently without standout senior linebacker Jack Baker due to injury. The Braves also have some balance with senior quarterback Cameron Desfosse, who has thrown for 677 yards and four touchdowns against two interceptions while adding 288 yards and four scores on the ground. Sophomore linebacker Finn Boland has emerged as another playmaker for the Mariners as he is credited with 69 tackles, including 15.5 tackles for loss.

Manalapan has been knocking on the door of a signature victory during a difficult stretch of its schedule. If Garrison and Baker remain sidelined, the Braves could have an opportunity to finally break through against a banged-up Mariners team potentially playing without two of its top players.

 

No. 3 Rumson-Fair Haven at No. 2 Donovan Catholic, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

The stakes are enormous in this heavyweight showdown, with the winner putting itself in position to challenge top-ranked Red Bank Catholic for supremacy in the Shore Conference.

There may not be another matchup this week featuring this many impact playmakers. Rumson-Fair Haven junior quarterback Brady Williams has thrown for 1,098 yards and 10 touchdowns against just one interception while adding 371 yards and eight scores on the ground. Donovan Catholic counters with senior quarterback Kahden Davis, who has passed for 824 yards and nine touchdowns with five interceptions while rushing for 151 yards and three scores.

The star power extends into the backfield. Donovan Catholic senior Alex Staten has rushed for 498 yards and eight touchdowns, while Rumson senior Ryder Izzo has totaled 543 yards and five scores. Both quarterbacks also have dangerous weapons on the outside, led by Griffins senior wideout Aidan Kelly with 21 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns and Bulldogs senior Cole Spoonire with 22 catches for 449 yards and three scores.

Some of the most important battles, however, could unfold in the trenches. Donovan Catholic standout sophomore offensive lineman Xavier Fowlkes could find himself matched up with Rumson senior defensive tackle Ben Gredell in a clash between two of the Shore’s top linemen. For all the offensive firepower on the field, both defenses are loaded with difference-makers as well, giving this matchup the potential to take on several different identities depending on which unit can impose itself first.

 

Howell at Jackson, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Both teams remain firmly in the playoff picture, but this matchup carries added importance with a first-round home game potentially within reach. Each is coming off a loss, although Jackson enters with some momentum after pushing highly-ranked Toms River North to the wire, while Howell was blanked, 7-0, by Red Bank.

Jackson has leaned heavily on its ground game, producing just 201 passing yards through five games. Senior Farren Blake leads the Jaguars with 362 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while sophomore Brayden Ramos has chipped in 168 yards and a score. They will test a Howell defense that surrendered only 72 rushing yards last week, with senior defensive back Lucas Grandinetti leading the way with 11 tackles.

The Rebels offer more balance offensively. Junior quarterback Connor Acker has thrown for 459 yards and six touchdowns against just one interception, while Howell has totaled 504 yards on the ground. Junior running back Tim O’Rourke has accounted for 314 of those yards along with two touchdowns. Blake’s impact goes well beyond his role in the Jackson backfield. The senior also anchors the Jaguars’ defense with a team-high 39 tackles.

 

Matawan at Marlboro, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

This nondivisional matchup should provide an interesting measuring stick between two sections of the Shore Conference. Marlboro sits atop Class C North, while Matawan enters from the bottom of the Class B North standings, offering a chance to see how the leader of one division stacks up against a team struggling through another.

There is no mystery about where Marlboro wants to establish itself. The Mustangs have churned out 886 rushing yards, led by senior running back Shaqur Richardson with 433 yards and four touchdowns. They have enough through the air to keep defenses honest, however, as senior quarterback Nick Dimino has thrown for 402 yards and four touchdowns against two interceptions. That combination could challenge a Matawan defense that has allowed at least 132 rushing yards in each of its five games. Cleaning up the run fits will be crucial for a unit led by junior linebacker Joseph Martucci and his team-high 41 tackles.

Matawan, meanwhile, will look to generate more consistency from its own rushing attack after reaching 100 yards as a team only twice in five games. Junior running back Sean Euell has provided most of the production with a team-high 337 yards. Marlboro has found itself in back-to-back shootouts, so the Mustangs would welcome a game in which their defense can dictate more of the action. Junior defensive back Dean Diadema leads that group with 32 tackles.

 

No. 8 Middletown North at No. 10 St. John Vianney, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Just when it appeared St. John Vianney might be fading from the picture after three consecutive losses, the Lancers responded with a 12-7 victory over ranked Wall to put themselves firmly back in the fold. Now comes another significant test against an undefeated Middletown North team that has yet to face the same caliber of competition the Lancers have encountered in Class A North.

St. John Vianney spreads the work around in its backfield rather than relying on one featured runner. Senior Lucas Farah and junior Connor Ortiz share the load, while junior quarterback Anthony Petracca also contributes to a ground attack that has produced 571 yards. Middletown North has been difficult to run against, holding three of its four opponents below 100 rushing yards. The Lions also have to account for junior wideout Noah Fitzpatrick on every snap, as the Lancers’ top receiving threat has 21 catches for 258 yards and five touchdowns.

Middletown North has a more defined centerpiece in its running game with senior Matt Belenko, who has rushed for 402 yards and five touchdowns. He will test a Lancers defense that limited Wall to just 82 yards on the ground last week. First-year starting junior quarterback Derek Grasso gives the Lions another dimension, throwing for 699 yards and five touchdowns against four interceptions.

Grasso also has the luxury of two productive targets on the outside. Senior Danny Sigler has 12 receptions for 311 yards and three touchdowns, while junior Anthony Christiani has caught 15 passes for 251 yards and two scores. Their production makes it difficult for St. John Vianney to tilt its coverage toward one receiver, adding another challenge for a Lancers defense coming off one of its best performances of the season.

 

Toms River East at Raritan, Friday at 6:30 p.m.

The two teams enter this matchup coming off a loss. The Raiders have dropped four straight games, including three shutout losses, while Raritan saw its two-game winning streak snapped despite pushing Marlboro to the finish in a 37-30 shootout.

What makes the Rockets difficult to defend is how effectively they distribute the ball within their option attack. Senior slotback Eric Berg has emerged as the most productive weapon with 380 rushing yards and six touchdowns, but senior quarterback Parker Needham poses a threat in multiple ways. Needham has rushed for 290 yards and five scores while throwing for 481 yards and four touchdowns against three interceptions.

Raritan will now look to get back on track against a Raiders offense searching for answers. Sophomore linebacker Mark Jewell has been the Rockets’ leading presence against the run with 33 tackles and will be a key piece as Raritan tries to start another winning streak.

 

Central at No. 7 Southern, Friday at 7 p.m.

Central finally broke through last week, earning its first victory with a 20-0 shutout of rival Lacey. The celebration had to be brief, however, as the Golden Eagles now step up in competition against rival Southern, which will be looking for a response after suffering its first loss of the season against Donovan Catholic.

Junior quarterback Isaiah Troiano returned to the Central lineup last week, although difficult weather conditions limited him to just three pass attempts. Instead, the Golden Eagles rode senior running back JJ Twohig, who rushed for 87 yards and all three touchdowns. Finding similar success against Southern will require Central’s offensive line to deal with the Iliescu twins at the second level. Niko leads the Rams with 48 tackles, while Lukas is right behind him with 41.

One of the more intriguing individual matchups could come when Southern throws the ball. Senior wideout Chris Raub has been one of the Shore’s most productive receiving threats with 19 catches for 346 yards and five touchdowns, and he could see plenty of Central standout defensive back CJ Yates, who added an interception in last week’s shutout victory.

 

No. 6 Holmdel at No. 11 Middletown South, Friday at 7 p.m.

Identical 3-2 records tell only part of the story for Holmdel and Middletown South, as both teams enter this matchup with valuable playoff positioning at stake. Holmdel currently sits 11th in North Jersey Group 3, while Middletown South is holding onto the No. 8 spot in North Jersey Group 4. A loss could leave either team facing an uphill climb toward securing a first-round home game.

The most compelling matchup will come when Holmdel puts the ball in the air. The Hornets’ dynamic passing attack has amassed 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns, but it will be tested by a Middletown South secondary that has limited opposing passing games over the last two weeks while recording three interceptions. Junior wideout Anthony Serino has been a human highlight reel with 25 receptions for 429 yards and five touchdowns, and how the Eagles scheme their coverage to contain him should create an interesting chess match between the coaching staffs.

Middletown South’s best defense against Holmdel’s high-octane offense may be its own rushing attack. Senior running back Justin Rosato has eclipsed 100 yards in each game during the Eagles’ three-game winning streak and enters with 581 yards and eight touchdowns. Sustaining drives and controlling possession could keep Holmdel’s playmakers on the sideline, but taking care of the football will be essential. The Hornets have forced nine turnovers in five games, with senior linebacker Joe Berardi contributing two fumble recoveries and an interception.

 

Manchester at Keansburg, Saturday at Noon

Momentum is pulling these teams in opposite directions. Keansburg has rattled off three consecutive wins, all by multiple scores, while Manchester is trying to halt a three-game losing streak. One result that favors the Hawks is how the teams fared against common opponent Long Branch: Manchester battled the Green Wave in a 21-7 loss, while Keansburg fell, 51-0.

Junior quarterback Mason Rand has settled into a groove during the Titans’ winning streak, throwing for at least 125 yards in all three games while totaling five touchdown passes without an interception. Junior wideout Daizahn Jones has emerged as his primary deep threat, hauling in 15 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns, highlighted by a 99-yard touchdown reception against Keyport last week. Manchester has yet to record an interception this season, making its ability to disrupt Keansburg’s passing game an important factor.

The Hawks did find a spark on the ground last week, but virtually all of it came from junior quarterback Trevor Freyer, who rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown. Keeping Freyer contained will be a priority for a Keansburg defense looking to help the Titans extend their winning streak to four games.

 

Winslow at No. 1 Red Bank Catholic, Saturday at 6 p.m.

One of the most intriguing matchups on the schedule pits the Shore Conference’s top-ranked team against South Jersey powerhouse Winslow. The two-time defending Group 4 state champion Eagles entered the season facing significant turnover after head coach Bill Belton departed for St. Augustine and several players transferred, including Jalen Parker, New Jersey’s all-time leader in touchdown passes. Still armed with Division I talent, Winslow opened the season with three straight victories, highlighted by a 21-7 win over defending Group 1 state champion Glassboro. The Eagles have cooled off since that hot start, falling 42-14 to St. Augustine and 36-30 to Atlantic City.

Red Bank Catholic has taken the opposite trajectory. Since a season-opening loss to DePaul, the Caseys have ripped off four consecutive victories, although the status of star sophomore running back Gabe Kemp is a question after he missed last week’s win over Holmdel.

Winslow’s secondary will provide an excellent measuring stick for RBC’s young passing attack. Senior defensive back Ka’Ron Ceaser is committed to Penn State, while fellow senior Andrew Kratee is committed to Toledo. Senior defensive lineman Benji Carter, a Monmouth commit, adds another Division I prospect up front.

Facing two FBS commits in the secondary presents sophomore quarterback Rahmir Rivera with an opportunity to test himself against high-level competition. Rivera has thrown for 763 yards and 10 touchdowns against three interceptions, with junior wideout Jason Berecsky emerging as his leading target with 18 receptions for 273 yards and five scores.

The challenge is just as significant for the Caseys’ defense. Winslow sophomore quarterback Javon Thompson has thrown for 820 yards and 10 touchdowns against four interceptions, while junior running back Trey Alexander has rushed for 474 yards and six scores. With that much talent at the skill positions, RBC’s ability to win up front and disrupt Winslow before its playmakers can get into space could be one of the defining battles of the game.
