Sourlis has cornered the Rumson record book market on mosts most assists (193), most steals (193), most points in a basketball game (37 against Red Bank), most points in a single season (608), which is a record for boys and girls. And, finally, Sourlis had an almost record. She finished the season with 199 rebounds, just 10 shy of the school record and a clean sweep of the record books. But for Sourlis, only a junior and an inch taller than last year, another season is still in store. "Virginia is a fine basketball player.

She works hard, is very coachable, is very talented and has an excellent attitude," said Rumson coach Tom McBride. This season marked three milestones for Sourlis. She scored her point, was the recipient of the Kerwin Award, an honor given to the most outstanding girls basketball player at the Shore, and she led her team to the Gass North crown, the Bulldogs' second consecutive title. "I scored my point in the game against Long Branch," said Sourlis. "It was a foul shot and it swished." Sourlis is strong in all phases of the game, but she is trying to improve her physical strength through Nautilus weight training.

"Since I've been on a weight program, my jumping has become better," said Sourlis. "I'm developing different types of moves where body control and upper body strength is important and that's where the Nautilus helps." Sourlis is still shooting for two goals. She would like to hit the 2,000 point mark and wants to gain a spot on the 1984 Olympic team. Those are her individual goals, but Sourlis places her team first on the priority list. "Scoring isn't everything," said Sourlis.

"Hit the open man. That's important." SUE BALL Sue Ball is considered the "total all-around player" by her coach Linda White. "She can box out, rebound, play defense with anybody and score. She's very quick," said White. "I've never seen anyone able to handle Susan.

She's our captain and floor leader out there. She's a well-rounded player." Ball's most effective offensive weapon is the driving baseline shot, but she has an excellent outside shot, added White. Ball considers her incessant hustle the key to her success. "I always try to out-hustle the other Rose in assists with 70, shot 41 percent fronj the floor and grabbed 87 steals. GRACE PATERNO The court leader.

St. Rose's winning gariie plan always revolved around its Paterno. And with good reason. "Grace was always the person we were going to," said Tralka. "She guided people on defense.

Inside, Paterno was hard to shut down. A powerful six-footer, Paterno poured in 14 points a game, averaged 44 percent from the floor. She led the Purple Roses to their NJSIAA victory over McCorristin with 24 points, a team St. Rose had lost to for the past two years. KATE HOSLEY When Asbury Park's Bishops needed a spark, Hosley was there to ignite them.

Her unyielding defense and sure-shooting offense led' the Bishops to victory after victory. And although the Bishops were stopped by St. Rose in the finals of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II tourney, Hosley came threugh with 20 points, a team high. "Kate is a fierce competitor. When we to be carried she was there to carry said Asbury Park coach Mark Hlatky.

"When the going gets tough she wants the ball and it usually pays off to give it to her." 1 feels that her ability to pick the ieam up was her greatest contribution to the Bishops. "I feel that I was a team leader and I tried, to keep everyone up when the chips were- down," said Hosley. "I also felt that thefcam looked to me at tough moments fcnet I tried my best to come through." iHosley's most memorable moment was the 'Bishops' victory over Mater Dei in the semifinals of this year's Shore Conference tournament. 'Beating Mater Dei was a great moment because we were the underdogs and no one thought that we could pull through in the clutch but we did," said Hosley. Hosley led her team in scoring, averaging 15 points.

She also added 192 lebounds, shot t37 percent from the floor and was a 65 perfeijt shooter from the foul line. 5-lb. bag Honorable Mention Class A North Howell Dawn Corrigan; Marlboro Lisa Schell; Matawan Mary Sheehan, Alyson Hendricks; Mlddletown North Gerri Seeley, Pam Hanson; Middletown South Carol Severinsen, Sheila Walk, Jan Cummins; Neptune Jenny Bristow, Felicia Moore; Raritan Sandy Clayton, Ellen Silver.

And for the past three years, those type of clips were in abundance. But this year, Mattaliano was hard pressed to come up with clips pronouncing the Piners opposition superior as the Shore Conference Class A South Piners coasted to an undefeated record during the regular season and finished up 22-2, the best record Lakewood has ever posted.

It was quite a big comeback from last year's 8-15 record and for this accomplishment, Mattaliano is honored as the Asbury Park Press girls basketball coach of the year. "I didn't expect to be near 22-2. It was well beyond my dreams," said Mattaliano, who has accumulated a record of 63-26 in four years of coaching. This is Mattaliano's second season back at the helm after a three-year absence. Mattaliano had not been rehired by the Lakewood Board of Education because according to the board, they wanted a woman to coach a girl's team.

Mattaliano protested and the state Public Employment Relations Commission ruled in Mattaliano's favor and he was rehired. "The three seasons off took a lot of excitement out of the game for me," Mattaliano said. "But now the excitement is back. I had a really nice bunch of girls this year. They made it enjoyable." The Piners fifth game of the season against Neptune in the finals of the Toms River North Round Robin tournament proved a pivotal win for Lakewood.

It gave the Piners the confidence they needed, said Mattaliano. "We were 44 and Neptune was 4-1," he said. "We were young and untried and they were the best team we had come up against. At the half we were down by eight. "I just told my kids that even if Neptune was bigger and faster, we were a better team.

We just had to go out and play our kind of ball." Lakewood took the lead with four minutes to go and finished with a 55-48 victory. "Ever since that game, the girls had the confidence they needed. They knew they could go on from there." And the Piners did go on from there. They went on to collect a string of 19 consecutive victories and was the only unbeaten team in the Shore. But it was Middletown North which finally ended the Piners streak in the quarterfinals of the Shore Conference championships with a 58-45 victory.

"I can't help thinking that things would have been different if we had a healthy team," said Mattaliano, whose Piners were without starter Amy Terhune. The only other Lakewood defeat was a 60-56 overtime loss in the South Jersey Group II finals to Camden Catholic. "I don't want it to sound like sour grapes but we had a problem with the fan-shaped backboard. Our girls, who had played with a square backboard all season just couldn't get used to it. But in the end it came down to the foul shooting.

We had a chance to win it, but just blew it at the line." At the start of the season Mattaliano had his team write team goals and individual goals. After Lakewood's 15th win, his Piners had accomplished what they set out to do. For Lakewood, a team which hadn't won two games in a row for the past three years, two losses were small defeats compared to the larger overall victory. 5-lb. bag US1 Pfiato33 Asbury Farlt Fress Bart Mattaliano, who led the Lakewood girls basketball team to a 22-2 record, has been named coach of the year by the Asbury Park Press.

Joseph after losing to them this year was important because the kids had to reestablish themselves as the No. 1 team in the Shore." "Beating McCorristin this year (the first round of the NJSIAA Group II) after being eliminated by them for the past two, years." The discouraging moments Tralka recalls looking back on his career are his 23 losses. "We don't take losses well," he said. "It hurts the kids and there's an awful lot of tears. But we learned from our losses.

We felt rotten and we didn't want to feel that way again." Tralka speculated that his assistant coach Christopher Gacos is a prime candidate for the position. St. Rose athletic director Pat McCann could not be reached for comment. Tralka expects that whoever takes over at the helm will carry on the Purple Roses winning tradition. BELMAR After seven years of producing winning girls basketball teams at St.

Rose, coach Vinnie Tralka has announced his resignation. Tralka is leaving teaching and coaching at St. Rose to take a position as manager of a restaurant. "It was a difficult decision to make, but I would have been asking too much from the team to work around my schedule," said Tralka, whose team finished 24-3. "If I stayed on it, would have meant late practices and no night games.

It would be too much of a strain on the team and they deserve total attention." Tralka has built a winning reputation at St. Rose and it didn't take him very long to start establishing the Purple Roses' dominance. Tralka brought home St. Rose's first NJSIAA Group II title in his second year at the helm (1976) and matched the triumph the following year. He is credited with three Central Jersey Group II titles, including this year's victory.

But the Purple Roses' hopes to bring home the coveted state title this year were thwarted by Pleasantville, which scored a comeback victory in the final minutes of the Group II semifinal game. "To lose is always upsetting," said Tralka. "But to lose my last game added a little bit more emotion." With a winning career like Tralka's, memorable moments are in abundance. "There were so many great players and so many big wins," said Tralka, "to pick out one would be impossible."
