12/15: Long Branch Finishes 2nd at Neptune

Scott Festejo (119), Jon Robertson (145), and Billy George (189) won championships, and Doug Cornell (1140) and Ameer Washington (Hwt) were runner-ups as the Green Wave finished in 2nd Place behind Collingswood at the Neptune Classic.  The Wave's 2nd Place finish stands out as impressive as the team was missing several starters from their lineup.

The Green Wave hope to have their lineup intact as they head to Wall on Thursday night for a huge B-North match with the Knights.
