Ocean Takes Class B Crown ln past years Ocean Township has produced excellent foot- ball teams, and this year was no exception. Due to Coach Tighe's fine coaching ability, Ocean concluded the season with seven wins and two losses. The Spartans exhibited an impenetrable defense and an overpowering offense. The Roster included many versatile ath- letes who played both offense and defense. This year was billed as a rebuilding season, but the players didn't agree. Although Ocean required the first game against Shore Regional to pool her resources, the powerful gridmen won seven of the next eight games. Our only other setback was suffered against Red Bank. The Spartans won the Class B Crown in a fashionable manner. The champion game was at Toms River South. Ocean played an excellent game, and captured a narrow victory. This excellent victory inspired a stunning win against Wall Township on Thanksgiving Day. Ocean Township was rated as one of the Shore's top teams by the Asbury Park Press. Although the Spartans functioned as a group, several individuals received credit in the All-Shore rat- ings. Rick Jones, Dave Nielsen, Ed Kasky, Billy Bates, Jerry McAuliffe, Bob Friedman, Scott Moore, Kevin Daniels, Steve Setrin, Mark Brodsky, Jody Avallone, and Ray Hodnett re- ceived post season honors. Coach Jack Tighe was deservingly named Coach of the Year.

Soccer Sports Successful Season The 1970 season was one of the most exciting and successful soccer seasons in the sports history of Ocean Township High. The varsity team had been improving greatly each year throughout the coaching years of Mr. Alan Johnston. The Spartans kicked their way to a sparkling third place finish in the class B division trailing Shore Regional by one point for second place. The Toe- men sported a record of 8-5-5 and lost four games by only one goal. The Spartans qualified in the State Tourney and traveled to Edison to play a tough Northern Valley Team. Ocean chalked up a well earned 2-l victory. The climax of the season occurred at the Monmouth College Soccer Field where Ocean met Howell. The Howell Soccer Team was acclaimed as one of the best teams in New Jersey and finished second in group three. Ocean was a tremendous underdog. The game started as expected, as Howell booted in three goals. The Spartans fought hard and tackled skillfully to score three goals in the remainder of regulation time. Both teams battled hard during overtime period. Howell scored with thirty seconds left to win 4-3.
