should be here © 2025 SurferToday.com | All Rights Reserved Jose Camano begins his third season as the head boys’ basketball coach at his alma mater where he was a three-sport superstar and the recipient of the 2008-2009 Observer Male Athlete of the Year And there’s no question that this should be the best year of Camano’s young coaching career because I’ve been here with most of the players on this year’s team,” Camano said And we played in the Hasbrouck Heights summer league with some good teams that challenged us I think we know what we have from the beginning of the season We knew what we had coming back and they were with me all year working to get better.” Camano believes that he has improved as a head basketball coach as well in his third season “I feel like I’m a lot better,” Camano said I think that’s one of my biggest strengths I think I’m able to get my message across to them I don’t think we’re in a rebuilding state at all I just think the kids are willing to learn Camano feels that in order to be successful this season the Blue Tide have to believe in their defense “We have to get stops and score off stops,” Camano said I think the kids are beginning to realize that We have to suck it up and play good defense first.” The leader of the Blue Tide has to be sophomore point guard Reuben Stokes The 6-foot Stokes is the lone returning starter from a year ago He can get from Point A to Point B in a hurry but he has to be able to bring his teammates along with him “He can put the ball in the basket,” Camano said of Burgos has joined the basketball team for the first time ever “I wasn’t surprised with what he could do as a basketball player,” Camano said “I knew he could have a really big impact with us He’s also very vocal and talks to his teammates.” Camano was asked if Mulrenan’s football background could help him on the hardwood “He has to see the whole court like a football field,” Camano said Junior Ethan Oeckel is a 6-foot-1 forward who was battling a preseason injury but should be back in time for the start of the season this weekend “He’s a great rebounder,” Camano said of Oeckel but he played AAU basketball in the spring and that really helped him with his confidence He’s a lot more confident than he was last year I’m looking for him to give us about 10 points per game.” Senior Amaru Perales is a 6-foot-5 rebounding machine but broke his wrist last year and was in and out,” Camano said “I think he can get about 10 rebounds per game Matt Cabedelo is a 5-foot-11 senior small forward Senior Jayden Galindo is a 6-foot-1 forward “He’s a big kid who plays great physical defense.” Junior Kevin Ordonez is a 6-foot-1 inside player “He’s learning to play the inside game,” Camano said Junior Sammy Abdeljalio is a 5-foot-10 reserve point guard “He can give us a good 10 minutes off the bench,” Camano said Junior Abby Hernandez is a 5-foot-7 guard who is a first-year player “He’s really patient with the basketball who always looks to make the right play,” Camano said Alex Jeffrey is a 5-foot-11 junior shooting guard “He’s still learning the game,” Camano said but I look for him to be more of a defensive threat.” The Blue Tide open the season Friday night at Leonia at 7 p.m and return home Saturday afternoon with a game against Fort Lee at 1 p.m Camano is confident his team will be improved this season The Harrison boys’ basketball team will be an improved bunch this season Sports Writer Jim Hague was with The Observer for 20+ years — and his name is one of the most recognizable in all

The proposed location for this building was a pine grove in Cabedelo, Viana do Castelo, a natural zone covering an extensive dune system. Its setting out is adjusted and adapted to the location of the existing pine trees, in an attempt to preserve its verticality, which helps define the image of the complex. In response to the program requested, we proposed a building suspended on pillars, with three distinct areas around a central patio: a wing with dormitories, another wing for services and bar, and a third wing to provide support for surfing, including a training room, gym, shower rooms, and a medical office.  presenting various systems and technical solutions that respect the environment LED

work permit and international clearance After a determined recruitment process in which Wolves came out on top in the battle for his signature the club have made the right-back – who turned 18 on Monday – Gary O’Neil’s fourth acquisition of the summer transfer window before completing his introductions and medical tests on his 18th birthday adding to the Old Gold’s defensive department The full-back has shown great promise during his young career playing 26 games in his debut senior campaign for Sport Recife Joao Pessoa – the same city as new Wolves teammate Matheus Cunha – Lima was on initially on the books of local side Esporte Clube Meninos da Paraíba before making the switch to join Sport Recife’s academy when he was 15 Agent Cunha at work 🇧🇷👔 pic.twitter.com/sG5aXVFdsZ The youngster progressed through the under-17s and under-20s in Recife with his performances earning him an international call-up for Brazil’s under-17s the right-back was selected by his country to play in last year’s FIFA U17 World Cup with Lima featuring in all five of Brazil’s matches in the competition which included a 2-1 win over England in the group stage as well as providing an assist in the last 16 victory against Ecuador Lima was promoted to the Recife first-team for the 2024 season with his senior debut arriving in January as he started a 2-0 home win over Afogados before the defender scored his first professional goal three days later Lima flourished in the senior environment with Recife as he netted his second goal in a 3-1 win over Treze in February on the way to helping the club to the semi-finals of the Copa do Nordeste while he also played a key role in the club’s Campeonato Pernambucano success claiming an assist in the final’s first leg as Recife lifted the trophy Following eight appearances in the Brazilian Serie B during the last few months Lima now heads to Molineux for a first experience of European and English football with Wolves Wolves’ sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “I’m really happy we’ve been able to add Pedro to the first-team squad but we’ve been working on bringing him to Wolves for a while now but Gary and the coaches know where he wants to get to and they will be working with him – like they do all our players – to be better and improve He has a massive desire to be the best player he can be and we’re going to help him meet his goals his work in the gym and the way he looks after himself I expect him to be really competitive and push the players who might be ahead of him at the moment I think there’s no better right-back for him to learn from.” The teenager becomes Wolves’ fourth signing of the summer following Tommy Doyle’s loan from Manchester City becoming permanent and the acquisitions of Portuguese wide man Rodrigo Gomes

hard to choose from Portugal's many amazing beaches so allow us to be your guide Home to some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches, Portugal provides seaside escapes of every variety You can look forward to sandy islands lapped by cerulean seas, peaceful coves tucked near edge-of-the-earth sea cliffs and dune-backed expanses facing some of the world’s most dramatic surfing spots Although a list of the country’s best beaches could easily run into triple digits we've narrowed it down to 11 of our absolute favorites The time to start planning your Portugal beach break is now Best beach for a quiet break from the city Less than an hour’s drive from Lisbon, you can find yourself amid the coastal wilderness of the Parque Natural da Arrábida forest-covered hillsides descend steeply to the shoreline which is dotted with hidden coves and sparkling beaches The most lovely is the Praia dos Galapinhos which offers white sand and crystal-clear waters The calm seas make it a great swimming spot Amid the wilder shores of the western Algarve, Praia de Odeceixe hits all the right notes and the scenic headland-backed beach draws both families and surfers Its unique location gives it surprising versatility the beach has a sandy riverside section that’s perfect for splashing about without worrying about the pounding surf – ideal for small kids Planning tip: If it’s waves you seek, you’ll find them by strolling over to the ocean, where rideable breaks arrive year-round (though conditions are best in winter). Various surf academies – including Odeceixe Surf School – can help you hone your skills or teach you some new ones About 5km (3 miles) northeast of Peniche on Portugal’s west coast, Praia Baleal is a real showstopper of a beach. This stretch of sand is actually a causeway, linking the mainland to the scenic, island-like village of Baleal which stands atop a craggy headland jutting from the Atlantic Ocean The fantastic sweep of sandy beach here offers swimming both to the north and south and some fine surfing Surf schools and several restaurants are located along the beach This huge beach at the eastern end of Ilha de Tavira – a long barrier island just off the country’s southern coast – boasts golden sands and inviting a windsurf school and a campground in summer (the only accommodation on the island) Outside the peak months of July and August Planning tip: Ferries make the 10-minute hop to the island from Quatro Águas, 2km (1.25 miles) southeast of Tavira Planning tip: Head here in low season – November to March – with average highs of around 16°C (61°F) Sandwiched between crashing Atlantic breakers and endless sand dunes, this magnificent beach forms the western flank of the São Jacinto nature reserve but the toil will be worth every second for those who like their beaches sandy Planning tip: To get to Praia de São Jacinto, take a 20-minute bus journey from Aveiro to Forte da Barra, a ferry to São Jacinto, and then it's a brisk walk to the beach. Aveiro is only 50 minutes from Porto by train, so a visit to the beach can easily be done as a day trip from the city Near the country’s northern border with Spain, Viana do Castelo is blessed with an appealing medieval center an attractive riverfront and lovely beaches just outside the city a 1km-long (0.6 mile) arc of powdery pale-golden sand that folds into grassy dunes backed by a grove of wind-blown pines Planning tip: It’s across the river from town best reached on a five-minute ferry trip from the pier south of the Praça da Liberdade On the left bank of the Rio Mira on the coast of Portugal’s southern Alentejo region Praia das Furnas is a long stretch of fine sand backed by small rocky cliffs The sandbars in the area make for some relaxing frolicking in the waves – perfect for tiny travelers taking their first dip in the sea Planning tip: You can arrive here by car or take the small ferry from Vila Nova de Milfontes Praia do Camilo is a prime example of the small sandy coves that dot the coastline of the Algarve region. The small, dramatically set beach is located on the outskirts of Lagos a pretty resort town with cobbled lanes and picturesque squares enclosed by 16th-century walls Planning tip: Some 200 wooden steps help beachgoers descend to the golden strip of sand that’s lapped by shallow turquoise waters and encased by wind-gnarled cliffs Arrive early (or visit out of peak season) to secure towel space One of the easiest beach escapes near Lisbon, the Costa da Caparica on the Setúbal Peninsula has a seemingly never-ending beach that attracts sun-worshiping lisboêtas craving all-over tans, surfers keen to ride Atlantic waves and day-tripping families seeking clean water and soft sand high-rises soon give way to pine forests and mellow beach-shack cafes An underwater canyon off the coast of northern Portugal creates ideal conditions for some of the biggest swells on Earth. You can watch these monsters roll in at Praia do Norte, a wild beach backed by dunes located a few kilometers north of the seaside town of Nazaré The Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo has a roof terrace for taking in the oceanic drama, and it also contains a small museum about the big waves and some of the surfers who’ve ridden them – like Sebastian Steudtner, who rode a record-breaking 26.2m (86ft) behemoth back in 2020. Wolves have completed the signing of highly-rated teenager Pedro Lima. The club agreed a £8.4million deal to sign him from Sport Recife in the Brazilian second tier after beating Chelsea to his signature. They then waited until Monday (July 1) when Lima turned 18-years-old to complete his medical and finalise the deal for the right-back. Lima has signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months and becomes the fourth summer signing, following Tommy Doyle’s loan from Manchester City becoming permanent and the acquisitions of Portuguese wide man Rodrigo Gomes and Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. Wolves’ sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “I’m really happy we’ve been able to add Pedro to the first-team squad. There was lots of competition for him, but we’ve been working on bringing him to Wolves for a while now, and he’s fully invested in our project. “He’s a person with huge ambition, but Gary and the coaches know where he wants to get to and they will be working with him – like they do all our players – to be better and improve. He has a massive desire to be the best player he can be and we’re going to help him meet his goals. “Through his attitude, through his work on the pitch, his work in the gym and the way he looks after himself, I expect him to be really competitive and push the players who might be ahead of him at the moment, but in Nelson (Semedo), I think there’s no better right-back for him to learn from.” Lima played 26 times in his debut senior campaign at Sport Recife and was on the radar of several big clubs. Born in Cabedelo, Joao Pessoa – the same city as new Wolves team-mate Matheus Cunha – Lima was selected to play for Brazil in the U17 World Cup last year, where he played all five matches, including a 2-1 win over England.
