No Comments on Boys Bowlers of the Week in every conference, Dec. 12-18

The number of 300 games this season continues to rise across the N.J. boys bowling community.

Kingsway senior Jason Bonapfel and St. Peter’s Prep junior Aidan Mack each joined the 300-club this season on Dec. 17, making it now seven bowlers who have recorded a 300 game on the lanes this season.

As Bonapfel and Mack recorded perfection, St. Joseph (Met.) senior Kai Strothers (801 series) joined teammate William Cunningham on Tuesday as the only two boys bowlers this season to record an 800 series on the lanes.

Take a look to see who else starred on the lanes this week in our conference bowlers of the week for Dec. 12 through Dec. 18.

Each week, NJ Advance Media will select Bowlers of the Week in every conference for both boys and girls, highlighting the best individual efforts around the state. Any matches bowled on Dec. 19 will be included in next week’s honors unless otherwise noted.

On Thursday, Fischbein recorded a high game of 275 and a high series of 675 to help Pascack Valley roll to a 7-0 win over Westwood.

The SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians unveils its new seal with Tribe’s Ancient Name

No Comments on The SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians unveils its new seal with Tribe’s Ancient Name

There has been much growth and development within FANA’s member Tribes. As the tribes continued to examine their history, they came across accounts of events before the arrival of Europeans.

For some Tribes, their names were partially changed once Europeans arrived in the New World. Sand Hill’s original name was The Scheyichabi (Sand Hill).

However, because of the historical discovery of the Sand Hill’s ancestral name, “The tribal council and Chief of the Sand Hill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians, in their ongoing postcolonial reclaiming of the ancestral name, lands, and Treaty Right, have determined that the correct historical name for their lands, currently referred to as New Jersey, is hereby changed.

Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska stated: “The Tribe has removed the picture of the State of New Jersey, and the Name ‘New Jersey’, as this designation was imposed on our people, not voluntarily accepted.”

Above is their new seal, which will be used on all correspondence, treaties, and public notices. Also, their seal is now listed on FANA.Global.com’s Tribal Membership page.

The sections of the new seal represent: the upper left image: the Watchung and Stokes Mountains; the upper right image of two waves illustrates the land between two rivers, which means the Sand Hill territory called New Jersey, which lies between the Delaware River and the Hudson River. The lower-left picture of the turtle represents Turtle Island, and the lower-right images represent the three sisters, which represent sacred corn, beans, and squash.

Some indigenous people in North America believe that the planet Earth is a turtle carrying the land on its back. This is an ancient belief that lasted until the Europeans arrived and suppressed the religions of the Indigenous People.

OLYMPIC CONFERENCE SEASON IN REVIEW, 2025

Player of the Year

Sophia Stazi still has one of the most elite shots in all of New Jersey. During the season, the star junior announced her commitment to Rutgers. For the third year in a row, Stazi managed to put up over 30 goals and helped Camden Catholic reach another state final. The 79 points she recorded bumped her career total to 249 and the 31 tallies helped her hit 100.

Coach of the Year

Kristina Foster’s Seneca squad went 11-7 in 2024. Just one year later, she helped coach the team to a seven-win improvement and an 18-3 finish. On top of that, Seneca split an Olympic Conference National Division crown with Camden Catholic, which it defeated. Seneca scored 23 more goals and allowed 26 fewer this season. The 18 wins are the most the program has recorded in any season under Foster and are the most overall in at least 15 years.

Team of the Year

Camden Catholic didn’t have the same level of dominance on the national level as it has in recent years, but this was still the top team in the Olympic Conference. There were some bumps in the road, including a loss to Seneca, but this team still went 9-1 in games against conference foes and won another sectional title to reach the Non-Public final. It also defeated Clearview to win the inaugural South Jersey Tournament of Champions crown.

Final Olympic Conference Rankings

1-Camden Catholic (17-7)
2-Seneca (18-3)
3-Bishop Eustace (14-3-1)
4-Cherokee (15-6-1)
5-Eastern (15-6)
6-Shawnee (9-10-1)
7-Moorestown (9-10-1)
8-Cherry Hill West (11-9-1)
