Red Dragons Faces the Green Machine in SPF Soccer Asso. TRYING A DIFFERENT CLUB… Mat Blasi and Craig Torpey have traded in
their baseball gloves and bats for golf clubs to help promote the Scotch Plains Fanwood Youth Baseball Association's $25,000 Hole- In- One Shootout, to be held April 25 and May 2 at the Scotch Hills Golf Course.
SPF Youth Baseball Assn. Will Sponsor Hole- in- One Shootout
The Red Dragons (Team #6) of the Scotch Plains- Fanwood Soccer Association First Grade Division and the Green Machine (Team #2) went head- to- head in a very competitive and exciting game on April 18. Both teams did an outstanding job on both ends of the field and the game saw the lead change several times.
Philip Rosenkrantz, Thomas Read and James Mason all shared time in goal for the Dragons. Each of them turned in a great performance on the day. Chris McManus turned in a stellar performance on the defensive side from his sweeper position. Jimmy Walsh and Vincent Bianco were in the middle of the action all game long as they consistently dug the ball out of a crowd and passed it to their teammates.
Offensively, John Maxwell got the Dragons first goal of the game as he took a perfect pass from Joseph Del Prete and made an outstanding shot into the corner of the net. Del Prete also added two goals of his own in the game. His second goal came as he took the ball in the middle of a crowd in front of the Green Machine
goal and just got it past the goal line. Matt Graziano had an outstanding game for the Dragons. He used plenty of speed and hustle as he constantly pushed the ball up field and pressured his opponent's goal. His hustle paid off as he picked up an assist in the game. Read also registered an assist. Brendan McEvoy continued to be the Dragon's dominant offensive threat as he has all year. McEvoy put on a show for the crowd with his outstanding ball handling skills. McEvoy also tallied three goals and an assist on the day. The Scotch Plains Fanwood Youth
Baseball Association will sponsor a Twenty- Five Thousand Dollar Hole- InOne Shootout on April 25 and May 2 at the Scotch Hills Golf Course on Plainfield Avenue in Scotch Plains. The Hole- InOne Shootout will provide a chance for any golfer, regardless of their skill level, to hit a golf ball for a chance to win $25,000.00 for a hole- in- one.
The Shootout works much like a closest to the pin contest. Golfers will pay $1 per ball to shoot at a special green from approximately 100 yards. A six foot diameter circle will be painted onto the green and will be the qualifying target area.
Every golfer who lands in the qualifying area on either of the two Saturdays, will have one shot at the Grand Prize in the finals which will be held on Sunday May 3 on the par 3 ninth hole at a distance of 150 yards.
"We are excited and looking forward to the $25,000.00 Dollar Shootout," Association
representative Gene Torpey said. "Last years' event was a tremendous success and all the participants had a lot of fun. This event generates much needed funds to help the Little League provide the best possible equipment and facilities for our children."
In addition to the Grand Prize which will be awarded to any and all golfers making a Hole- In- One on Sunday May 3, anyone making a Hole- In- One on May 3, will also receive an expenses paid trip (Excluding Transportation), to Texas, to compete in the $1,000,000 Hole- In- One Shootout. Prizes will also be awarded to the top ten golfers with shots closest- to- the- pin. The event will run from 9: 00 A. M. to 4: 00 P. M. and golf clubs will be available to anyone who needs them.

Oral Surgeon Advises Use Of Custom Mouthguards
Dr. Philip R. Geron of Westfield Oral Surgery Associates in Westfield, has advised that dental injuries can occur when the wrong type of mouthguard is used when playing sports.
He revealed that many injuries occur when store bought, or "over- the counter" brands, as opposed to a custom mouthguard, is used.
Unfortunately, Dr. Geron stated, many coaches and parents assume that store bought mouthguards are as effective as custom guards. They are easily accessible at sporting good stores and are inexpensive.
According to Dr. Geron, the store bought mouthguards generally consist of two types. One is the pre- molded variety, in standard sizes of small, medium and large, and the other requires boiling and then molding the cooled device to fit one's mouth. These devices tend not to be used regularly because they don't fit comfortably, Dr. Geron said.
Further, they can impede speech and breathing because the athlete must always clench down on these devices to keep them in place, he added.
The store bought mouthguards also tend to be too thin or have uneven thickness, creating a total lack of protection, Dr. Geron said.
A custom sportsguard, which can only be made by a qualified dentist, should fit perfectly to the individual, and it will have thicker uniform dimensions for maximum protection, the oral surgeon confirmed.
Custom fit devices do not require clenching or biting down to keep them in place and, therefore, will not interfere with speech or proper breathing.
Not only will a custom dental sportsguard protect the teeth and associated structures, but it will also help prevent concussion, often associated with hard blows to the lower jaw, Dr. Geron stated.
Custom sportsguards act as a buffer between the teeth, reducing the forces transmitted to the skull, he added.
Although the cost of a custom sportsguard is considerably more than a "stock," or store bought mouthguard, Dr. Geron believes the prevention of injury far outweighs the costs and associated inconveniences.
Mouthguards are required predominantly for football, boxing, and ice hockey. However, 34 percent of all basketball injuries, where mouthguards are not required, involve the teeth, he explained.
Other sports frequently associated with dental injury include racquetball,
soccer, volleyball, field hockey, martial arts, mountain biking, and baseball.
