Winners of this year's geography and spelling bees in the Oceanport School Distric were recognized Thursday night by the board of education.
Seventh grader Nat Koenig took top place for the second year in a row at Maple Place's geography bee. Principal Matt Howell said at the Feb. 28 meeting he expected Koenig to go for the "threepeat" next year.
Fourth grader Michael Murphy, whose dad is member of the board of education, won the spelling bee at Wolf Hill this year, correctly spelling "factoid" to take home the prize.
Audrey Terrany won Maple Place's spelling bee but did not attend Thursday's meeting.
She and Murphy will compete at Monmouth University in the Spelldown Regional Spelling Bee on March 11.

Is it a little joke perhaps that you spelled "Oceanport" incorrectly when reporting on the winners of the spelling bee???

I wondered if the town misspelling could be fixed? Congrats kids!

Normally, the author of a news item does not write the headline. Perhaps Ms. Burns followed the norm and it was an editor who, at the top of this news piece, stroked the errant reference to this sleepy little burg.

Harry and Susan. Sigh. Strangely ironic I would misspell a word in this headline. Apologies for that, it's been fixed and I'm chalking it down to bad spelling karma.
