Shore Conference Postseason

Thursday, Oct. 28

Freehold Township 23, Manchester 20

Junior kicker Cody Wohlrab connected on three field goals, including the go-ahead field goal with 2:50 left in regulation, as the Patriots (4-5) held on to win a thriller over the Hawks (2-6).

Manchester struck first when senior quarterback Savon Myers threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to sophomore running back Joshua Love in the first quarter. Wohlrab made it 7-3 with a 32-yard field goal and then kicked a 34-yard field goal to pull the Patriots within one point.

A 1-yard touchdown run by senior running back Devin Olesin gave Freehold Township a 13-7 lead and the second interception of the first half by sophomore free safety Nick Carnevale kept the Patriots up by six at halftime.

With 2:38 left in the third quarter, freshman quarterback Nick Cardone tossed a touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Shawn Corchado to extend Freehold Township's lead to 20-7. Manchester rallied to tie the score as Myers hit Love again for a touchdown to make it 20-14 late in the third quarter and senior defensive tackle Kingborn Morris returned an interception for a touchdown to tie the score at 20 with 9:24 left in the game.

After Wohlrab's third field goal of the game put Freehold Township ahead, Manchester put together a late drive to get into field goal range, including converting a fourth-and-15, but the tying field goal attempt missed its mark.

No. 3 Donovan Catholic 28, No. 1 Red Bank Catholic 7

Senior running back Nunes Bukula IV ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries and the Griffins (5-4, 8-1 on the field) won the battle along the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball to come away with a statement-making victory over the formerly-undefeated Caseys (8-1).

Senior quarterback Jalin Butler and senior wide receiver Kyree Drake also had touchdown runs. Senior defensive tackle Nico Ippolito, senior defensive end Levi Wilkins and linebackers Nat Ianello and Dante Vernieri led a stout defensive effort that limited RBC's dangerous ground attack.

Butler finished with 75 yards rushing and a touchdown on 14 carries and also completed both of his passes for 32 yards. Vernieri had both receptions and Drake had three carries for 18 yards.

Donovan got on the board first when the rain and wind led to a bad snap on an RBC punt and the Griffins tackled the punter at the 2-yard line. On the next play, Butler scored and followed with a 2-point conversion run for a quick 8-0 lead.

Another botched punt by RBC led to Donovan's second touchdown. The Griffins took over at the Caseys' 41-yard line and went up 14-0 in the second quarter when Drake took a handoff on a jet sweep and scored from 13 yards out.

A 51-yard run by Butler set up Bukula's 7-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter to make it 21-0. RBC got on the board when Alex Brown threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Robert Stolfa, but Donovan recovered the ensuing onside kick and answered on the next offensive play when Bukula scored on a great 52-yard run to make it 28-7.

The debate now begins as to who is the No. 1 team in the Shore. There is a triangle between Donovan, RBC and Rumson-Fair Haven. RFB beat Donovan 14-0, RBC beat Rumson 21-14 and Donovan now owns a 28-7 win over RBC.
