2025 Ocean Township Spartans
For the first time since the 2011-2012 season, the Spartans will have a lineup that does not include at least ONE Poniros. They do have a few Voleks back, as well as a couple of Farinas, as 11 starters are back from last year's 17-win team that made it to the Sectional Finals.
The Spartans should have an exceptionally tough stretch from 132-157. Junior Steven Perez is a returning District Champion, as is sophomore Dom Volek, who advanced to Atlantic City as a freshman after finishing 3rd at Regions. They're joined by two more Volek Brothers in senior Boomer Volek, a 2-time 5th-place finisher at Regions who has put up back-to-back 30-win seasons, and sophomore Jake Volek, who went 10-5 despite missing time with an injury. Also back in this stretch for the Spartans are Justin Farina, who won 15 matches bouncing between 113/120 as a freshman in 2024, and Malcolm Beale, who is entering his 3rd season as a starter.
Seniors Danny Farina, Marvin Hill, and Abi Andre return up top for Ocean. Farina was a District runner-up a year ago, while Andre had some clutch wins last year in his 19-win season, and could be primed for a big year at heavyweight. Hill, who missed most of last season with injuries, could be a breakout performer for the Spartans up top as well.
Junior Justin Penta, 2nd at Districts and 5th at Regions, and sophomore Michael Apicelli anchor the lower portion of the lineup that will be looking for contributions from several new faces, including sophomore Chris Tenas, who missed almost all of his freshman season to injury, senior Alex Falco, and the incoming freshmen class.
Ocean will have a battle in the new B-Division with Howell, RBC, Pt Boro, and Middletown North, and after a 30+ year run in CJG3, the Spartans have moved into CJG2 with defending Group 2 Champion Rumson, among others, lurking. In addition to the tough division slate, the non-conference schedule includes dates with North Hunterdon, High Point, Hillsborough, and Montville. It's a team that is going to be tested, but should still be able to rack up wins.
