Athletics & Co-Curricular Update

** Athletic Events that took place between 11/8 & 11/29 **

The Brick Township Boys and Girls Swim team  The Brick Dragons Swim Team started practice on November 8th and are training strong for our opening Swim Meets against Toms River East on 12/7 followed by Toms River South on 12/9!  We have a competitive senior class as well as new freshmen who will add to the excitement of our season.  Girls Team Captains:  Kaitlyn Goldsmith, Courtney Keizer and Amanda Mology  Boys Team Captains: Brendan Kalp and John Gardner. We are very excited for this upcoming season as our student athletes cannot wait to compete in high school athletics. The Brick Township Ice Hockey team has began its season with new excitement merging with Brick Memorial.  Head Coach James Murphy and his staff are putting together a new movement of “Brick vs. Everybody”.  It’s creating an atmosphere of “Us vs.World”, bringing both sides of town together with one goal in mind, and that is championship caliber ice hockey back to Brick Township.  Brick tied their first game 2-2 being down 2-0 against a very good Class A-North Division Marlboro team.  It was Jake Toye’s first goal that ignited The Ocean Ice Palace, and Thomas Johnston’s second goal tying up the game. We believe that this is going to be a very exciting year as both students from Brick Memorial and Brick Township will create a bond that will exemplify ONE TEAM, ONE TOWN. Next game is Friday, December 3rd, 5:45pm at the Ocean Ice Palace vs. Freehold Township. Hope to see everyone there! The Brick Girls Bowling is starting our season off this week with a match against Toms River South on Wednesday 11/24.  We are confident that this will be the start of a successful season in the Shore Conference South A Division.
