2015-2016 Preview
Head Coach: John Stout (15th Season)
2015 Final Record: 14-6
#17 in New Jersey
#5 in Shore Conference
District 24 Champions
Tied 4th Place A-South
Governor Mifflin Tournament Champions
Sure, there was a pretty strong hit to graduation, but with a lineup stocked with proven veterans and extremely talented newcomers, the Rams enter 2016 loaded and ready to take aim at the top spot in the Shore.
A strong veteran core returns in the upper half of the lineup, led by seniors Pat Mooney and Peyton Blauvelt, both returning D24 champs. Junior Seon Bowker, a D24 runner-up, projects to be at either 152 or 160, while seniors Joe Toci (3rd D24) and Connor Skully, a 14-match winner in 2015, will anchor the top of the lineup that will be breaking in a couple of new faces.
The lower half of the lineup should be a pretty a pretty even mix of proven talent, and some young frosh that come with loads of potential. Senior Gianni Bennet and sophomore Owen Kretschmer are both returning Region qualifiers, while Matt Barnett is coming off a strong 15-win rookie campaign. Also back for the Rams, are Ted Caporino and Mike Racanelli to provide even more veteran leadership. There's a strong buzz about the incoming freshmen class, and it is down in the lower half where you can expect a few of them to make an immediate impact. Nick Pepe and Nick O'Connell were both Intermediate Tri-County champs, while John Stout was a Tri-County runner-up.
Kind of odd to hear some people refer to 2015 as a "down year" for Southern, when the team finished 5th in the Shore, 17th in the State, and won their 17th District Team Title. But the bar is always high in Manahawkin, and this is a lineup that appears to be more than capable of putting together yet another big time season. Once again, the schedule is LOADED. There's the A-South slate, accompanied by matchups with Howell, Group 4 champ Phillipsburg, Group 3 Champ Delsea, High Point, and Buena, as well as an entry into the Escape The Rock Tournament in Pennsylvania. From a team standpoint, the Rams will once again compete for the A-South crown. As for the Sectional, the SJG5 Section was as tough as they come in 2015, but Brick Memorial and Howell have both been moved out this year, making the Rams a strong contender for 11th their Sectional crown, and their 2nd Group championship.

District 24 Champions

Governor Mifflin Tournament Champions
Sure, there was a pretty strong hit to graduation, but with a lineup stocked with proven veterans and extremely talented newcomers, the Rams enter 2016 loaded and ready to take aim at the top spot in the Shore.
A strong veteran core returns in the upper half of the lineup, led by seniors Pat Mooney and Peyton Blauvelt, both returning D24 champs. Junior Seon Bowker, a D24 runner-up, projects to be at either 152 or 160, while seniors Joe Toci (3rd D24) and Connor Skully, a 14-match winner in 2015, will anchor the top of the lineup that will be breaking in a couple of new faces.
The lower half of the lineup should be a pretty a pretty even mix of proven talent, and some young frosh that come with loads of potential. Senior Gianni Bennet and sophomore Owen Kretschmer are both returning Region qualifiers, while Matt Barnett is coming off a strong 15-win rookie campaign. Also back for the Rams, are Ted Caporino and Mike Racanelli to provide even more veteran leadership. There's a strong buzz about the incoming freshmen class, and it is down in the lower half where you can expect a few of them to make an immediate impact. Nick Pepe and Nick O'Connell were both Intermediate Tri-County champs, while John Stout was a Tri-County runner-up.
Kind of odd to hear some people refer to 2015 as a "down year" for Southern, when the team finished 5th in the Shore, 17th in the State, and won their 17th District Team Title. But the bar is always high in Manahawkin, and this is a lineup that appears to be more than capable of putting together yet another big time season. Once again, the schedule is LOADED. There's the A-South slate, accompanied by matchups with Howell, Group 4 champ Phillipsburg, Group 3 Champ Delsea, High Point, and Buena, as well as an entry into the Escape The Rock Tournament in Pennsylvania. From a team standpoint, the Rams will once again compete for the A-South crown. As for the Sectional, the SJG5 Section was as tough as they come in 2015, but Brick Memorial and Howell have both been moved out this year, making the Rams a strong contender for 11th their Sectional crown, and their 2nd Group championship.
