The Pride of Ocean The Spartan's football season began with a wailoping 21-0 victory over Monmouth Regional. Seniors Skip Wohlert and Tony Furrow ran time af- ter time to aid in Spartan victories. Quarterbacks Greg Hunt and Bob Klinger helped the pride score again and again. Junior Rob Strano, when given the ball, knew only one destination-the endzone! Chris Tralka led the team with four interceptions. Future Spartans set their sights on the states. -Greg Hunti Midseason. the Spartans were psyched to do the impossible. Ocean had not won a homecoming game in five years. October 27th's game against Freehold Township ended that precedent. The following Sunday. Ocean went on to beat Lakewood. Offensive receivers Chris Dupree and John Shultz helped Ocean to score, while defensive standouts Skip Wohlert, Chad Watkins, Rob Strano, Chris Tralka, Bob Molloy, Glenn Applegate, Kevin Lovgren. Jim Loizos, Mark Mechura, Lou Yac- carino, and Tim Rose prevented opponents from doing the same. The next Saturday, Ocean met the first place Pt. Pleasant Boro Panthers. Despite torrential downpours, a muddy field, and discourag- ing odds, the Spartans once again did the impossi- ble. Ocean tied Pt. Boro 6-6 in one of the biggest up- sets of the season. Ocean nearly knocked the Pan- thers out of the playoffs while clinching a conference victory over Asbury Park. Overall season accom- plishments include both Chris Tralka and Mark Mechura making All Monmouth County Honorable Mention. whiie Skip Wohlert was the All Short Pun- ter.
