AWARDS WEEK
Dual of the Year
1/16: Brick Memorial 27 - Jackson Memorial 26
Five matches decided by 1-point. The return of Alec Huxford to the mat. Three matches between eventual State Qualifiers.
Back to back 1-point victories at 152 and 160 gave the Jags an 11-point lead heading into the final two bouts leaving the Mustangs in a position where they needed to pin out if they were to win.

STEVE FALK'S STORY
Feat of the Year
Prevost Pins... Four Times!
In a it never happened before, and will probably never happen again, Keyport made a little bit of history when they received pins from quadruplet brothers Bryan, Joe, Josh, and Steve Prevost in a 44-25 victory over Lakewood on 2/13. While the quads had all won matches in the same dual over their four-year careers before, it was the first and only time that they all recorded pins in the same match.
Stat of the Year
83
TR South senior BJ Clagon put together two of the most dominating year's the Shore has ever seen. He closed his career on an 85-match win streak, picking up a pair of State Championships. The amazing thing about his 85-match win streak is in how the wins came. 83 of those wins were by major decision or better! The only two decision wins were a 6-1 win in the State Tournament Semis in 2012, and a 2-1 in this year's State Final.
Finish of the Year
Mike Oxley hits 4-point move to win Region Title
Trailing 3-1 with 9-seconds left and on bottom for a re-start in the 195-pound Region Final, CBA's Mike Oxley rallied with a reversal and a pair of back points to stun top-seeded Matt Moore of Brick Memorial, 5-3, to capture the Region 6 Title. Meanwhile, some guy typing results for TheShoreConference.com missed it as he had his head down looking at his phone preparing to type in the win for Moore. Oops.
Worst Rule of the Year
It's a Repeat Winner!
As New Jersey already has among the very lowest, if not THE lowest, total number of individual matches allowed in the entire country, it makes zero sense for forfeits to count against a wrestlers total number of bouts. Hard to find the logic in a potential 8:30 Ultimate Tiebreaker Match counting the same towards a match total as someone walking on the mat just to get their hand raised.
Runner-Up
Dual Tiebreaker Criteria. Some complain that the NHL going to an individual shootout to break ties is a bit of a ridiculous way to determine a winner in a team sport. How about going down to a list that includes "Greater number of points for near-falls" or "Fewer stall warnings" to determine a team winner. Thankfully, we haven't gotten to criteria #14 yet "Flip of a disk" Solution? An odd number of weight classes.
Coach of the Year
Tim Jobes - Neptune
It wasn't too long ago that the Neptune Wrestling Program was consistently having problems putting together complete lineups and were taking their lumps on the scoreboard. Fast forward to 2013, the Fliers earned a share of the B-North Championship, picked up a pair of Region Titles (their first titles since 1995), earned two State Medals (their firsts since 1999), and also saw Karl Waldron set the program record for career wins.

Updated the 100 CAREER WINS PAGE with the final spots with those that hit 100 this season, as well as those that will enter 2013-2014 with 55 career wins or more. If you see any errors on there, email me at DESPO424@comcast.net.
The POSTSEASON ADVANCEMENT PAGE has also been updated reflecting the furthest advancement for all wrestlers returning next season.
Also, if you have any CLASS OF 2013 COLLEGE COMMITMENT information, please email me and I will add it to the list.
Still much more to do here... The team pages will have their final wrap ups, I'll have a compiled list of all the State Tournament participants returning in 2013-2014, as well as the participants returning from each Region. Then Awards Week starts next Monday with all the usuals such as my pick of Wrestler of the Year from each team, to Dual of the Year, to the All-Underclass Team, to Coach of the Year, to the final Region Top 10 Rankings, and much more.
For you hardcores out there, I'll also have polls up throughout the upcoming season for something we did a few years back with the "Dream Duals" Example: All-Time Brick vs. All-Time Toms River. All-Time Jackson vs. All-Time Southern. As well as things as Region Champions from say this year vs. Region Champions from another era. Should be fun and kill some time over the off-season. So stick around!!!
I will also have information on all the local Camps, Clinics, and Tournaments posted on this page throughout the off-season.

Updated the 100 CAREER WINS PAGE with the final spots with those that hit 100 this season, as well as those that will enter 2013-2014 with 55 career wins or more. If you see any errors on there, email me at DESPO424@comcast.net.
The POSTSEASON ADVANCEMENT PAGE has also been updated reflecting the furthest advancement for all wrestlers returning next season.
Also, if you have any CLASS OF 2013 COLLEGE COMMITMENT information, please email me and I will add it to the list.
Still much more to do here... The team pages will have their final wrap ups, I'll have a compiled list of all the State Tournament participants returning in 2013-2014, as well as the participants returning from each Region. Then Awards Week starts next Monday with all the usuals such as my pick of Wrestler of the Year from each team, to Dual of the Year, to the All-Underclass Team, to Coach of the Year, to the final Region Top 10 Rankings, and much more.
For you hardcores out there, I'll also have polls up throughout the upcoming season for something we did a few years back with the "Dream Duals" Example: All-Time Brick vs. All-Time Toms River. All-Time Jackson vs. All-Time Southern. As well as things as Region Champions from say this year vs. Region Champions from another era. Should be fun and kill some time over the off-season. So stick around!!!
I will also have information on all the local Camps, Clinics, and Tournaments posted on this page throughout the off-season.
