WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1997 PAGE D7 ASBURY PARK PRESS SCHOLASTIC Bugs' Loucks evens the score Middletown South captures Pritsch title By DANIELLE RUMORE STAFF WRITER HOWELL TOWNSHIP Ryan Loucks learned last Tuesday at the Shore Conference Tournament that being the best or at least being tied for it is sometimes not enough. Red Bank's Loucks had initially fin FOR ONE Middletown South golfer, the Eagles championship at the sixth annual Jon Pritsch Memorial Golf Tournament had a special meaning. "It was a good way to close out my high school golfing career," said Matt Hooker, who shot a 41-41 82 to finish sixth. "Today was my last tournament and I was glad I could help my team win." Hooker was also pleased, "because this tournament is for the late Middletown South golfer," he said. "It was nice winning his tournament as a Middletown South golfer." The Jon Pritsch Memorial Golf Tournament is held in the memory of Pritsch, who passed away in his senior year of high school at Middletown South.

Pritsch had a 59-3 record over four years when golfers still competed in match play. Hooker's teammate Andrew Torregrossa shot a 38-43 81 to finish one stroke ahead of Hooker in fifth place as Middletown South I finished the day with a 338, seven strokes ahead of Lenape I. "It felt good," Torregrossa said. "It was a good way to finish off the season. We felt we were capable of winning.

We haven't played up to our ability this season, but we came through today." Pat McCormick of Warren Hills won the tournament with a 35-39 74, and was one of only three golfers to shoot a sub-80 round. Dan Rubin of Long Branch (40-44 84) and James Reinhart of Middletown North (41-44 85) finished in ties for eighth and 10th, respectively, and were the only other locals to finish in the top 10. The tournament drew 21 teams from around the state with 101 golfers participating in the event at Sun Eagles Golf Course at Fort Monmouth. Locally, the only other top 10 team was Middletown North, which finished tied for fourth with Warren Hills. Winners of the Jon M.

Pritsch Memorial Golf Scholarship were also announced. More than $8,000 was raised from a July 28 tournament and awarded to five state golfers, three of whom are from local high schools. Scott Magee, a graduate from Wall who now attends The College of New Jersey, Sean Ruey of Toms River South, and Greg O'Connor of Brick were the local winners. Staff report ished in a tie for first place with MONMOUTH COUNTY QUALIFIER One golfer wore the same polo shirt and khaki pants as the other golfers here yesterday, not to mention the same facial expressions, revealing alternately conflicting looks of happiness and frustration. And except for the bobbing pony-tail, this one golfer seemed cut from the same prototype as all the other competitors.

Vanessa Picciotto even walks the same walk as her male counterparts, but the sophomore from Holmdel High School was in a league of her own as the only female participant Although the tournament opened its doors to females in 1994, Geran said that single female entries, like Picciotto, are all too common. "I sent 49 letters out to the (high school) coaches to send people in, and (Picciotto's) was all I got," Geran said. In New Jersey, high school golf competition is coed with girls and boys competing on the same team. Picciotto, who finished with a 25-over-par 97, will most likely qualify for the state level simply because she was the only female participant at Shore Oaks. "The front nine, I was hitting the ball real good and the back nine, I kind of got conservative on my putts, so they weren't falling too much," Loucks said.

The best six or seven scores (the IIA will determine the exact cut based on results from all county qualifying tournaments) advance to the round at Peddie. "We call into the state and they tell us the scores of some other guys (in other counties)," Monmouth County tournament director Chuck Geran said. "If they are high, we send more boys. If low, we send only five or six." At Peddie, the Monmouth County qualifiers will tee off against qualifiers from other New Jersey counties. Qualifiers out of Peddie (usually three) go on to the national tournament, which will be played at the Walking Stick Country Club in Pueblo, Aug.

7-12. The top five finishers yesterday are locks for the state level. CBA's Bill Weil finished second overall with a 1-over-par 73, followed by a three-way tie for third among CBA's Giebler and Charles Perrine and Freehold Township's Brian Neugeboren, all of whom shot 4-over-par 76. Ownes resigns as Freehold football coach Christian Brothers Academy's Al Giebler that day, but had to settle for second after losing on the first playoff hole. But that was last week.

This week, the slate was wiped clean. And yesterday, Loucks rode his breakout streak from the Shore Conference Tournament into the Independent Insurance Agents Junior Classic Monmouth County qualifier at Shore Oaks, and this time, it was enough for Loucks just to be the best. Loucks finished first among the 31 golfers with the only even-par 72, this time edging out Giebler and a slew of other golfers from CBA to move on to the state qualifier July 14 at Peddie. ball for me I've had 23 years of great kids," said Ownes, who will 1 continue as a teacher at Freehold. "Everybody knows Joe Henderson, and I got one player in the NFL -2 (Scott Conover of the Detroit Lions) and a bunch more into college and, -with scholarships.

I wouldn't say I'm out of coaching forever, but I'm going to take the next season off." STAFF REPORT EARL OWNES has resigned as head football coach at Freehold High School after 23 years on the job, citing undisclosed personal reasons in his announcement yesterday. No replacement has been appointed. Freehold went 2-7 last season in Shore Conference Class South, leaving Ownes with a career record of 87-87-6. Ownes coached numerous top running backs over the years, with Joe Henderson gaining more than 3,300 yards in the mid-1980s and John Barnstead, Gary White, Jason Mumford, Chris Black-nail and Richard Ivery all achieving or coming near seasons. "I've had a lot of great kids play St.

John Vianney junior shortstop Ray Piatkowski led off the ninth inning with a home run and Keith Bryson later scored an insurance run as the Lancers upset CBA, 7-6, in an NJSIAA South Jersey Parochial A quarterfinal game.

In the bottom of the ninth, CBA (17-4), which had won its last four games by one run in its last at-bat, scored on an infield out before winning pitcher Joe Rizzo got the last out on a come-backer with the tying run at third base. "It was a draining game that kept going back and forth," said St.

John Vianney coach Barry Cook. "We knew how tough they were." The Lancers used the long ball to defeat CBA ace Matt Therien (10-1) as Jim Raniere hit a 2-run home run in the third inning and Chris Fucci a 2-run shot in the sixth when St. John Vianney tied the score, 5-5.

Mater Dei cut RBC's lead to 9-6 with three runs in the sixth when Matt Loori lofted Hausmann's first pitch over the fence in left-center with one out after Scott McCarthy walked and Mike DeRosa singled to right. Bailey tripled to lead off and scored on Kyle Stump's squeeze bunt to give RBC an insurance run in the seventh. RBC loaded the bases on a Bill McCarthy single to right, a walk to Patsy Townsend and Brian Mohr was safe on a two-strike bunt grounder that was touched by Mater Dei third baseman Dan D'Allesandro near the line.

Then the Caseys cleared the bases when D'Allesandro fielded Mike Te-soro's ground ball and hurled his throw into foul territory in right field for a three-base error.
