Multiple injuries to key players derailed Central's 2022 season. The silver lining is an experienced group of returners ready to get the program back into contention.
Central played its way into the Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinals for the first time in 29 years, with sophomore Jaycen Santucci leading the way.
Raritan was on a mission Saturday, dominating Central from the jump to earn a trip to the Shore Conference Tournament semifinal for the first time since 2011.
With a standout performance against a local rival to close out the regular season, Central senior Ryan DiCillo took home the Surf Taco Week 6 Player of the Week Award.
Central responded to some early adversity with a five-game winning streak to climb into the Class A South race and win the latest Surf Taco Team of the Week.
Before suffering a season-ending injury, David Kroon led Central to a strong start to the season and will continue to support his teammates the rest of the way.
