Mustang Madness - Craziest Fans |
|
 |
|
These lunatics from Brick Memorial had
no regard for weather or appearances. They loved their Mustangs and would
go to great lengths to let everyone know how deep that love went. |

|
Brave(s) New World - Craziest Fans
Part 2 |
|
 |
|
These fans from Manalapan were, in a
word, loud! These are the kind of students that belong at a college
basketball game, right behind the net. |
|
|
Three-Way Star - Most Versatile |
Meet Mr. Jones - Best New Player |
|
 |
 |
|
Dan Carhart from Shore did it all in
2001 - 4 INTS, 2 blocked kicks, 33 tackles, 14 TDs, 792 rushing yards, 296
receiving yards and 374 return yards, including a 65 punt return for a TD. |
Lakewood's Dwayne Jones has it all -
size, speed - and a nice stiff-arm move as seen above. Only a sophomore,
the Shore Conference has been put on notice; this kid is going to be
something special. |
|
|
NASA Alert - Best Moon Shot |
Temple? RU kidding me? - Best
Decision |
|
 |
 |
|
Week Five - Toms River North vs
Freehold Township |
Red Bank's Wil Gilkison broke the Bucs-Owls
pipeline by committing to Rutgers. Gilkison looked and played like a man
among boys and will make an impact for the Scarlet Knights. |
|
|
Michigan Hornets - Best New Helmet |
Hutchinson Hush - Quietest Moment |
|
 |
 |
|
Best new helmet goes to Holmdel. By
switching from a plain white dome to a Michigan-style look, the Hornets
upgraded their look in 2001. |
You could hear pins drop when Long
Branch's Berkeley Hutchinson went down in Week Three against Raritan.
Hutchinson, mic'd for MSG network for the game, eventually returned late in
the season and will play alongside Gilkison at Rutgers next year. |
|
|
Return to Glory - Best Off-Season
Pickup |
Boice's National Anthem - Best
Breakout Year |
|
 |
 |
|
John Amabile joined Brick Memorial's
staff as defensive coordinator and helped the Mustangs to their best season
in years. |
The Colonials took the National
Division this year and look to be as good or better in 2002 with a talented
backfield and more returning for a title defense. |
|
|
California Dreaming - Best Hair |
Overflow 2001 - Biggest Crowd |
|
 |
|
|
Brian Kopsic of Brick Memorial |
Wall-Manasquan 2001
Over 8,000 fans watched as the Knights successfully
defended their Liberty Division title against Manasquan in a 17-14 win. |
|
|
Brotherly Love - Best Family Combo |
|
 |
 |
|
Patriots Head Coach Dom Lepore (left)
and his quarterback, brother Paul (right), led Freehold Township to a
school-record seven wins and the school's first-ever playoff appearance. |
|
|
Mighty Mulcahey - Happiest Coach |
Fighting Fliers - Best Comeback |
|
 |
 |
|
Marlboro won their first game of the
season against Manchester in Week Eight, and Mustang head coach Tom Mulcahey
(above) pumped his fist in victory. |
Neptune 33 - TRS 27
The Scarlet Fliers clawed back from a 27-point deficit
and beat the Indians on a Julian Riley to Jarrett Doyle TD pass in overtime. |
|
|
Pick Your Poison - Most Dangerous
Duo |
|
 |
 |
|
Matawan's one-two punch of Tom Corley
(left) and Kevin Davis (right) was the most explosive backfield in the Shore
Conference this past season. |
|

|
Mustang Vin - Most Intense Manager |
Davis minus 12 - Best Halftime
Uniform Adjustment |
|
 |
 |
|
Vin Russo of Brick Memorial
Vin's the type of kid who would be a wedge-buster on
special teams - a guy that would go 110% and sacrifice his body for the
team. He bleeds green and white. |
Matawan's Kevin Davis, usually number
22, had to switch to a number 10 jersey after tearing his shirt in the first
half against Long Branch in Week Four. |
|
|
Tearin' Down the Wall - Best Hug |
Mac Attack - Best New Nickname for
2002 |
|
 |
 |
|
The Eagle's Steve Antonucci and Brendan
Kennedy embrace after beating Wall in the CJ Group 3 semifinals. |
Anthony Macaluso - Middletown South
After rumbling for 132 yards in the state final, Macaluso
will now be referred to as "MacTruckaluso". |
|
|
Ram Tough - Best Stadium |
|
 |
|
Southern Regional's stadium is the best
in the Shore Conference. Throw in the fact that the Rams' band is one of
the best around and you have all the makings of an almost college-like
experience when you attend a game here. |
|
|
Shore Feels Good - Best Regular
Season Celebration Shot |
Daydream Believer - Most Over-Worked
Manager |
|
 |
 |
|
Shore's John Maisto raised his arms in
triumph in Week One after the Blue Devils defeated Keyport 17-14 on a
last-second field goal. |
Colts Neck - Hey, carrying that tub of
Gatorade is no easy task! |
|
|
He's Got the Gig - Rookie Coach of
the Year |
Freddie and the Drench - Best Water
Shot |
|
 |
 |
|
Point Beach's Nick Giglio, in his first
year, steered his team to a winning record and a playoff appearance despite
injuries that would have decimated most teams. |
Brick Memorial's Fred Sprengel got
doused at the conclusion of the Mustangs-Central game that sealed at least a
share of the Constitution title for the second-year coach. |
|
|
Makin' Some Noise - Best Awakening
of a Sleeping Giant |
Schoolboy Savvy - Most Likely To
Replace Dennis Miller |
|
 |
 |
|
The Rams posted their first winning
season since 1992, won six games for the first time since 1989 and made a
trip to the playoffs for the first time since 1981. |
Steve from WOBM
This kid is going places. You'd never know from talking
to him that he's still in high school. |
|
|
Stone Cold Rocket - Celebrity Look-Alikes
Part 1 |
|
 |
 |
|
Raritan coach Derek Sininsky has an
uncanny resemblance to Stone Cold Steve Austin, and come game-time, is just
as intense. |
