The Southern Regional girls swim team was supposed to have a new head coach this winter, but Maddie Cooke, one of the assistants last season and a regular with the Barnegat Light Beach Patrol, opted for a lifeguard position in Australia this year. So Bill Entrikin is back in that role for this season, but it shouldn’t have any odd effects on the Rams.

They’re simply loaded with talent and should again be in contention for a third straight Ocean County championship next month.
