| Red Bank Catholic High School 112 Broad Street Red Bank, NJ 07701 (732) 747-1774 Mascot: Caseys / Colors: Green & Gold Head Coach: Joe Gallagher (19th Season in 2026) Assistants: Jason Colavita and Mike McGhee Section: Non-Public B / Division: C / District: 32 / Region: 8 |
2026 RBC Caseys
Head Coach: Joe Gallagher (19th Season in 2026 / 167-183)
Assistants: Jason Colavita and Mike McGhee
Section: Non-Public B / Division: C / District: 32 / Region: 8
The Caseys lost five starters to graduation, but had six transfers come in and have a solid group of freshmen coming in to go along with the talented returners from last year's team, given them a strong, balanced lineup.
2-time District Champ Joey "Mako" Vezzosi provides a bit of a veteran presence down low for what will be an otherwise fairly young group. Sophomores James Gallagher, Chris Kelesidis, and Cole DeAngelo, a District Champ, are all looking to build off their freshman seasons.
RBC is DEEP in the middle. Returning District medal winners Luken Ramos, a senior, and junior Anthony Russo are joined by junior Rob Fritz, a District Champ who advanced to Atlantic City while at Sayreville last season, senior Javier Guzman, a 3-time District medal winner and a champion last season while at Long Branch, and sophomore Jake Valeri, who won 19 matches while at Pt Beach last year. Head coach Joe Gallagher will definitely have options and flexibility with this group.
Up top, a few more reinforcements arrive in senior Brian Garcia, a District medalist at Donovan Catholic in 2025, and the Sternlieb brothers, Caden and Cole, come in from St Thomas Aquinas, where Caden, a senior, made it to AC last year after finishing 2nd at Regions. They join returning starters Cristian Rodriguez, a Region qualifier in 2024, and Hayden Woolley, both seniors, and sophomore Brock Goodman. Keep an eye on Matthew Cmielewski cracking into the lineup amongst this group as well. The freshman was a 3rd-place finisher at Intermdiate States last year.
The Caseys have had a lot of talent and some very good teams since their rise over the last decade, but this might be the most balanced and deep, and talented, a team they've ever had. The schedule is loaded, featuring duals with CBA, St John Vianney, Rumson, and non-public powers in the Catholic Duals, as well as tournament stops at the Robin Leff and Sam Cali, that will have the team quite battle tested.
