Proudly Presents

By Molly Robinson Cole became the fi rst Dwight-Englewood soccer

player to reach the century plateau in goals when she exploded with a four-goal output in a 6-1 rout of Hawthorne Christian on Thursday, September 22 in Hawthorne. Cole, who will continue her student/athlete career

on the banks of the Raritan playing for veteran head coach Glen Crooks’ Scarlet Knights next fall, con-nected on the historic goal off a feed from teammate Jessica Lee who will continue her career in the Ivy League at Princeton University.As a sophomore, Cole netted 39 goals and last

year during her junior campaign found the back of the opponents’ cages on 38 occasions. She entered the New Jersey Interscholastic Conference contest against the Defenders with 98 goals and proceeded to net four goals and distribute a pair of assists — an example of her profi cient skills that make her one of the best attack players in New Jersey.

quality keeper on the soccer fi eld, he has also es-tablished a legacy as an outstanding young man. A standout for the Owls between the pipes where he was named a New Jersey Interscholastic Confer-ence – Patriots Division All-Star as a junior in 2010, McCann has reached out to the community to raise funds for a kidney transplant for Gavin Scimeca, an infant son of a River Vale police offi cer.McCann, who is considering Mount St. Mary of

Emmitsburg (MD), America’s second oldest Catho-lic University, as the next stop on his student/athlete travels to a career in the criminal justice fi eld, is col-lecting pledges for every save he makes this season. As of his second game of the season, he has already surpassed his initial goal of $10,000 as a result of his stellar goalkeeping talents. In a double overtime scoreless tie against Midland Park, McCann record-ed 26 offi cial saves.For information on joining McCann’s team of con-

SPORTS • FITNESS • WELLNESS SPO

Q: What led you to the path of Athletic Director at Saddle River Day School?A: It wasn’t just a progression, it is a passion that I chose to pursue. I truly love being in-volved and watching the devel-opment of the student-athletes and am very grateful for the opportunity the families allow me to have an integral part in their children’s futures.

The bond and trust that is de-veloped with the players and the families, to be the trainer-teacher-mentor, also offers me the opportunity to teach life lessons through sports.

My goal is to show the play-ers a road to drive, a path to choose, where they them-selves can decide how far to go and how fast to get there. The success of the goals that we establish, the level of skills and game play that we reach, helps develop the core values of discipline and a work ethic that extends far outside the

lines of the court. I was given the opportunity

to coach the girls basketball team in Cresskill for four years. During this time, we won four league championships, two state sectionals and I was awarded “Coach of the year” for two out of the four years I was there.

These girls worked ten months a year on their game, their futures, and it was an hon-or to represent them and their families all throughout the suc-cesses we enjoyed.

My passion was fueled as I saw all of the girls get into the colleges they chose, and were able to contribute to the ex-pense of the college experience with the skills they developed. My passion is fueled when they come back home with college degrees and simply say “thank you”.

Prior to coaching in Cresskill, I built the Hoop Zone, a private basketball company designed

to train and develop student-athletes in the hopes of extend-ing their careers through high school and college. Due to the redevelopment to put up new condominiums along the Route 4 corridor in Englewood, and with the burden of selling and closing down the Hoop Zone, I chose to leave Cresskill and put high school coaching on hold.

During this time, Shenee Clarke, a former student and assistant coach with me during the Cresskill years called to ask If I would switch roles and assist her with the girls team at Te-aneck High School. This gave me the opportunity to continue working with high school play-ers and to help Teaneck get an-other chance to reach the Coun-ty and State championships.

I also partnered up with New York Sports Club in Ramsey, NJ to keep the NJ Gym Ratz AAU Club going, while looking for a new home and facility to continue the business and pro-grams established at the former Hoop Zone in Englewood.

Luckily, we found a new facil-ity nine months ago in Mahwah, and began construction im-mediately. The new company’s name is “Down Town Sports”.

Along with being the new home of the NJ Gym Ratz, we will run sports classes for kids, youth and adult basketball clin-ics, camps and leagues for all levels and ages. By partnering up with the reputable Quest Tennis company, (3 courts) we will continue to offer the fi nest tennis instruction in the area.

And with the added space, we will also offer various Soccer, Lacrosse and Volleyball court rentals and programs while maintaining a family-like at-mosphere. Having previously established the reputation for offering only the best sports birthday parties and special events, we will get back into the party circuit to offer the families a clean, private unfor-gettable family memory and event.

Just recently, Saddle River Day School expressed inter-est, and I have been retained as the Athletic Director for the 2011-2012 school year. It will be a win-win, great opportu-nity to be further involved with the families and community in the area where the new DTS Company is being built.

It also allows me to be in-volved with the student-ath-letes and school with a new perspective from an adminis-trative position. It was a natu-ral transition for me because it goes hand in hand with what I developed at the Hoop Zone, and now with Down Town Sports starting up within the same general area.

I am extremely happy so far into my fi rst school year as the AD, and besides being well accepted by my peers, many former coaches and AD’s I had battled for years on the court have assisted me in every way with the transition from coach to administration. I questioned the decision whether to take on the role of AD and would

not have accepted the position without feeling the inspiration, foresight and opportunity to work with Eileen Lambert, the new Head Master of the Saddle River Day School. She is a fantastic leader, and one that I knew I wanted to associate myself directly as I look to pur-sue this endeavor, and work-ing with the faculty and staff at Saddle River Day School. Q: Was there anyone who was signifi cant in your growth as a coach?A: One of the many players that have been signifi cant in my growth, as a coach and trainer, was my fi rst student-athlete, Ben Bergen.

Ben’s parents, Barbara and Robert, approached me after I saw one of his third grade basketball games, and com-mented on his play. He was very skilled and I saw that he had great potential as an ath-lete. I remember saying to his parents, “that kid should get some private training, he is go-ing to be a great player.” And so it began.

I originally said no to their many requests because I hadn’t had much experience and was not sure where to begin. I was able to reach out to my high school coach, get some insight and drills to help me with Ben’s development. I ended up train-ing him from the 3rd to the 8th grade and then again peri-odically throughout his distin-guished high school career.

Tragically, Ben was the victim of an accident his senior year in high school and has moved on. Ben is always in my memory, and I am forever grateful for the time I had with him and for the lessons he taught me that I have passed on and shared with oth-ers. He brought out the passion in me and helped create in me the desire to work and train with other kids. He truly was a great kid that I will forever hold close.Q: How did you come to start Hoop Zone?A: When people were watching me train Ben, they approached me to train their own children and it just kept ballooning from there. I was renting gyms and

training kids all over the coun-ty and it soon got too big, so I started Hoop Zone in 1999.

I opened the Hoop Zone in Englewood, which is one of the fi rst private basketball train-ing facilities in the state. Here we trained and touched many, many families. Kids grew up training with Hoop Zone. In 1999, we opened the NJ Gym Ratz AAU Program. So far, we have won two national cham-pionship awards and fi ve New Jersey State Awards. It is a na-tional athletic program for chil-dren ages 10-17.Q: What approach do you take in training?A: I often ask my athletes, “what are you willing to give up to be successful?” Meaning, are you willing to give up your Xbox games to put more time into the gym? My company philoso-phy is one of being completely physically and mentally in-volved with the kids. My staff of 15 years plus only teaches with a interactive coaching tech-nique. Every coach involved is on the court teaching and work-

ing out with the kids. There is no sitting down, the coaches are completely focused on the development of the play-ers skills during practice and game play.

My athletic program includes an intense competitive setting to further develop all athletic skills and to bridge the gap between personal achieve-ment and team success. We build and maintain a winning atmosphere into an Athletic Program to also further entice college interest in the student-athletes involved.Q: What role do you think sports play in a young ath-letes life?A: I truly believe that most kids can learn all of life’s les-sons through sports. They learn discipline, a goal inspired work ethic, a strong personal and team commitment, and continued support of family values. All of these basic core values of success help build the foundation they need get a great start on the path of life we hope they choose.

Ramapo.With the victory, the team

members wore t-shirts in honor of their coach.

One of the team’s co-cap-tains, senior Courtney Tarleton, said that the team knew about a week before the Teaneck game about the 400th win, but both the team and Yearing did not tell each other that they knew. The team found out from the team’s assistant coaches. Coming into the 2011 season Yearing had 397 victories and it did not take long before the 400th came along.

Tarleton said that what she likes most about her head soc-cer coach is his plain speaking. “I like it because he tells it like it is,” said Tarleton. “If you are not working hard enough he’ll tell you and if you make a good play he will give you a compli-ment.”

Also at the 400th victory were several of the players that he has coached over his success-ful quarter century of soccer.

It was 1987 and Yearing, who had been the assistant girls varsity coach for two seasons, fi nds out that the then head coach, Dave Vanderbush, took an administrative job in another town and was asked to take the head coaching reigns for the girls soccer team.

He had also been a varsity assistant for the boys soccer

Ridgewood girl’s soccer head coach, Jeff Yearing.

By Edward KensikRIDGEWOOD – Ridgewood

High School coach Jeff Year-ing kept saying that this might be the last year that he would be coaching.

But each time there was a younger player or players who he wanted to coach out until they graduated.

“I didn’t set a timeline and I usually take it year-to-year,” said Yearing. “Their usually is a certain player or players that I want to take to the end.”

The years have turned into decades and entering the 2011 soccer season the Ridge-wood resident is in his 25th year as head coach for the Maroons girls soccer varsity team.

And on Sept. 20 it was 400 wins for Yearing as Ridgewood defeated Teaneck, 8-1, on the road. The Maroons as of the end of September stood at 3-2-1 in the tough Big North that has included games against three of the best teams in the county in Paramus, IHA and

team for ten years.It is also a new feeling this sea-

son for Yearing who retired after 37 years as a physical education and health teacher in the Ridge-wood school district.

While there are many games that stick out in his 25 years as head coach Yearing picks out the 1993 Bergen County Cham-pionship, the fi rst for the high school, where the Lady Maroons stunned Ramapo with two goals in the fi nal four minutes to claim the Bergen title.

The other game came in 2002 when Ridgewood shocked Pin-gry, one of the top teams in the United States. The Lady Maroons were down 3-0 at half-time and would go on to score fi ve times in the second half to win 5-3. “We almost played a

perfect half of soccer,” said Yearing. “That and the county game were two that are on the top of the list.”

Over the years he has seen the womens/girls game be-come closer in terms of qual-ity and physicality with the mens/boys game. He added that he prefers the girls game of soccer compared to the boys. “I feel the women’s game is more interesting tactically,” said Yearing who also coaches baseball in the spring.

For now Yearing is just en-joying coaching his Lady Maroons which is basically a young team and is hoping to go far in not only the upcom-ing Bergen County Tourna-ment, but also the state tour-nament.

By Dan CappelloKyle Sakowski’s fi rst expe-

rience with the Don Bosco football program began in the bleachers of Granatell Stadium. He watched on as his brother Paul (now at Marist College) led the team in tackles during their infamous 2009 National Cham-pionship season. Everything

else has been destiny.“I’ve dreamed about this

since I was a little kid,” said Sa-kowski, now a senior and one of the captains for Don Bosco Prep (4-0) – the number one ranked football team in the nation. “They ask us to make plays and they made me cap-tain for one of those reasons.”

In one of the most dra-matic games of the season, Sakowski’s big plays helped the Ironmen avoid an upset against their archrivals Bergen Catholic (2-2) that would have ended their dream of another national title. They ended up walking off the fi eld with a 33-22 victory, but the game was much closer than the fi nal score appears.

With the score leaning to-ward an upset with less than 10 minutes to play in the game, the Ironmen were stunned to be trailing 22-21 to a Bergen Catholic team that hasn’t been able to beat Don Bosco since 2004. To make it worse, a missed third down play led to a punt back to a surging Cru-saders offense that seemed unstoppable. But Sakowski knew that all his dreams of playing on the biggest stage in high school football came down to this drive.

“Our coaches always tell us we have to face adversity,” Sa-kowski said. “And that is what I did.”

Bergen Catholic quarter-back John Germano stepped back into the pocket on the

fi rst play to pass downfi eld. Sa-kowski read the play perfectly, stepped in front of the passing lane and picked off the pass—Bergen Catholic’s fi rst turnover of the game and one that would change everything.

“Kyle is probably the hardest working guy on our football team,” said Don Bosco coach Greg Toal. “The fact that he stepped up and made those plays doesn’t surprise me. He has the highest character and is one of the toughest guys we have on our team.”

The atmosphere at a Bosco/Bergen game is unlike any oth-er game around. Thousands of fans fi lled the bleachers and surrounded the fi eld trying to watch one of the biggest games they’ll see all year.

“This rivalry is everything to us,” said Sakowski. “Coming down to the wire that is typical Bergen Bosco football and we are just happy to come out on top.”

Football Network, Inc. and the Ironmen’s early sea-son success stories cement the opinions of the vo-tees.

Trailing 7-6 at the halftime intermission, Don Bosco Prep ral-lied to pull out a 22-16 victory over Manatee of Bradenton (FL) in a matchup of nationally-ranked scholastic gridiron powers played in the Sunshine State. Jabrill Peppers put DBP on the in the board in the opening quarter when he raced 31 yards into the end zone. After Manatee built a 10-6 advantage in the third quarter, Mike Yankovich connected on a 60-yard TD bomb with Leonte Carroo before Peppers bolted fi ve yards into the end zone with the game-winning six-pointer.

A week earlier, DBP routed Mission Viejo (CA) 35-7 as the Iron-men rushed for 208 yards in extending their undefeated skein to 36 games in a row. Peppers and John Wilkes rushed for TDs in the fi rst half to boost the Ironmen into a 14-0 advantage by the intermission. The duo duplicated the production in the third quarter as DBP increased its advantage to 28-0.

Next on the DBP schedule is clash with the nation’s No. 4 team, St. Edwards (OH) that will be played on the campus of Fordham University in New York City.

DePaul’s season debut on the national stage was a success. Zach Bednarczyk connected on six of 10 aerial attempts for 174 yards and three touchdowns to propel the Spartans o a 49-35 triumph over Boston College High (MA) in Wayne. Bednarczyk added a TD blast while Joe Moreno toted the pigskin 24 times, rushing for 250 yards and a pair of six-pointers/ Massimo An-derson hauled in fi ve aerials for 175 yards while scoring three touchdowns.

Jonathan Germano highlighted Bergen Catholic’s 62-12 rout of Teaneck when he tossed three TD aerials and blasted two and 11 yards into the end zone. Tailback James Dawson scored three of the Crusaders’ four six-pointers in the second quarter when he scampered 48, 59 and one yard to the end zone while fi nishing the game rushing eight times for 129 yards.

A week earlier, the Crusaders dropped a 12-7 verdict to nation-ally-ranked Plant of Tampa as part of a doubleheader played in Bradenton (FL). Michael Gerset found a seam in the Plant de-fense and raced 47 yards into the end zone to give the Crusaders a 7-3 advantage in the opening quarter.

With the 1-2 punch of Spencer Aukamp and Jeff Farina com-bining for 300 yards of offense, St. Joseph Regional/Montvale walloped highly-touted St. Peter’s Prep of Jersey City 49-18. Aukema went to the air connecting on six of nine aerial attempts as he passed for 158 yards and a pair of six-pointers. Farina rushed for 142 yards on eight touches, scoring three times. The Hudson County squad got on the board fi rst before the Green Knights rallied with three straight TDs to open up a 21-7 advan-tage. Farina scored from 22 yards out, Mark Cieslak blasted over the goal line from one yard out, and Rick Jeune hauled in a 37-yard TD strike as he fi nished with fi ve receptions for 126 yards.

Bragging rights for Wayne supremacy left no discussions as the Patriots of Wayne Hills trounced the Indians of Wayne Valley 41-0. Senior Andrew Monaghan spends the game on the fi eld as a receiver, defensive back and punt returner for Wayne Hills. He hauled in TD passes of four and 19 yards in addition to racing 81 yards into the end zone on a punt return.

had enough fuel left in the tank to make a comeback. Backed up into their red zone, the Iron-men defense once again need-ed a big play—Sakowski heard the call again. His interception at the goal sealed the game.

“He is the captain for a rea-son,” said teammate Yuri Wright. “When we need our starting defensive players to make big plays that’s what he does best. He picks us up.”

Sakowski’s dreams don’t just end with Don Bosco football. After the season, he hopes to pursue playing football either at West Point or the Naval Acad-emy. But before he locks his eyes on college, he is looking forward to one more possible rematch with his hated rival—the Bergen Catholic Crusad-ers—in a game with everything on the line.

“I hope we see them again,” said Sakowski. “I can’t wait to play them again.”

In 2011, he helped lead Waldwick to the State Final as he batted .407 and belted 7 HR’s and went 5-2 on the mound striking out 60 in 51 innings pitched! He broke Waldwick High School’s Homerun Record & Dylan will be playing collegiately for Coastal Carolina!!!

In thinking about the prior week’s loss to Pascack Valley, the Ramapo Green Raider’s (3-1) football team may have felt that their season was per-haps on the brink. The Ridge-wood Maroons (1-3) on the other hand may have been able to look upon their 35-to-0 shutout loss to Don Bosco the previous week as some-what of a moral victory. But in all scenarios, both teams needed the win as they faced

off in Ridgewood.Ramapo however took over

the game quickly and in the end they had a decisive 41–7 win over the Maroons. While Ridgewood ran their usual tried and true Wing T Offense, on the other side of the fi eld it was all “Air Ramapo”.

The Green Raider’s senior quarterback Ryan Dougherty threw for four touchdown pass-es on the day. The fi rst was a 45 yarder to Neil O’Connor, fol-

lowed by three more bombs to Doug Norkett for 42, 47 and 29 yards respectively. For the day Norkett caught seven passes to total 205 yards. Said Norkett on his performance, “It was great communication…everything just clicked.” Dougherty added “It was all about reading the corners. When they came up, we moved to the deep route. When they stayed back, we went for the short ones.”

Ramapo Coach Drew Gibbs

gave credit to his offensive line saying, “To see them come-back this week and step it up gave our quarter time to make plays.”

On the day, Ramapo kicker Tim Sternfeld contributed with 5-for-5 on PAT’s and hit fi eld goals of 32 and 45 yards.

Ridgewood didn’t help their cause any with four second half turnovers.

Both teams had “one of RAMAPO, continued on page 16

Waldwick’s Paul Lowry produced an outstanding performance when he rushed into the end zone four times to propel the War-riors to a 34-27 triumph over New Milford. He opened the scoring in the fi rst quarter when he broke loose on a 35-yard TD run. Lowry added a 77-yard TD run after the Knights had rebounded to knot the score at 7-7. With the score knotted at 14-14, Jeremy Falkas gathered in a kickoff, located a seam in New Milford’s spe-cial teams’ coverage and raced 90 yards to the end zone. Again the Knights came back to tie the game at 21-21 before Lowry added TD runs of 75 and three yards to bridge the third and fourth quarters in staking the Warriors to a 34-21 advantage.

Elijah St. Hilaire captured the spotlight when the combined Palisades Park/Leonia squad blanked Ridgefi eld 40-0. St. Hilaire scored four touchdowns as he rushed 14 times for 174 yards. River Dell senior Mike Manopoli started the local highlights when he hauled in the opening kickoff on his four-yard yard line and raced 96 yards to paydirt as he ignited River Dell to a 31-0 shut out of Ramsey. Ridgefi eld Park’s 41-0 rout of Mahwah was an example of two by air and three by land. Senior run-ning back Eric Reynoso carried 16 times for 149 yards including three touchdown runs while quarterback Alex Alberque tossed TD strikes of 19 and eight yards as head coach Tony Gonzales claimed his 152nd career coaching victory.

Other outstanding individual efforts included a 227-yard rush-ing effort on 20 touches by Fort Lee’s Franke Goris who crossed into the end zone four times on runs of 35, 36 and 65 yards in ad-dition to a TD reception of 69 yards. Saddle Brook’s Steven Lon-ga produced a four-touchdown day when the Falcons blanked Wallington 48-0 as he bolted 55, 3, 9 and 72 yards to glory.

those days”. For Ramapo it all clicked. Whenever you throw for four touchdowns you’re in for a special day. For Ridge-wood they are clearly a better team than they looked.

For Coach Johnson’s Ridge-wood team they will get their shot at redemption in the next three weeks with games at Clif-

ton, at Wayne Hills, then on their home turf against Hack-ensack.

Next up for Ramapo is St. Joes who no doubt will want to redeem last year’s loss to the Raiders.

If you think things are heat-ing up in North Jersey Foot-ball…. You are right!

A Message fromGarett Teel

“Our goal is to give the highest level of instruction with asimple approach by which all players of every skill level can learnand understand the degree of discipline and dedicationnecessary to excel on the baseball field.”

This was my mission statement 13 years ago and it continues to be OUR MISSION at Teels Baseball and Softball Training Center.

Over the year’s, we have seen and worked with many player’s whose own hard work and dedication allowed them toachieve and excel at their goals.

This foundation is the key for all players to realize their full potential and tosucceed on their own.

THERE IS NO OFF SEASON AT TEELS! Regardless of your skill level or ability you CAN get better and build confidence through each success!

The goal for Winter Camps is to provide each player with professional instruction in hitting, catching, pitching and fielding inorder to develop a solid foundation for future baseball success. We incorporate several fundamental drills demonstrated by aninstructor. Regardless of experience on the field, the proper teaching and constant repetition of these fundamentals will strengtheneach player’s skill level and allow them to achieve their baseball goals.

CROSS-COUNTRY



Kristen began racing when she was just nine years old after continuously watching her dad leave the house to go for a run. Her father, a non-competitive runner who ran mostly for exer-cise, was inadvertently inspiring his daughter. Then, one day she put on her sneakers and waited by the door and said to her fa-ther that she wanted to go with him. The rest is history.

“All my life I did soccer and basketball and they always knew I was pretty fast,” said Traub. “Early on I ran a 5K and my trainer Joel happened to be there and he wrote my fam-ily a letter and that is how it all started.”

Joel Pasternack, a former competitive runner who com-pleted the Boston Marathon in two hours and twenty-fi ve min-utes and the NYC marathon in two hours and twenty-seven minutes, caught a glimpse of nine-year-old Kristen as she broke stride in the 2002 Brian’s Run in Wayne. He immediately spotted her as a rare talent. Since then, Pasternack has been the key to Traub’s suc-cessful young career.

“I appreciate him a lot be-cause he does not kill his run-ners,” said Apol. “He does not trade their futures in to make himself look good. At fi rst I didn’t know if that was going to work. I was as arrogant as other coaches, but it has worked out real fi ne.”

With the help of Traub, East-

ern Christian’s girl’s cross-country team has immerged as a team to be reckoned with and is ranked second in North Jersey just behind Ridgewood. A great accomplishment for a school that is rarely noticed for its athletic achievements and is mostly remembered as the school the Jonas Brothers at-tended.

“Well our freshman year we only had about fi ve runners,” said Traub about the state of the cross-country program when she started her freshman year. “We barely had a team. To make it this far is so exciting, like fi nally we got there.”

Colleges have been scouting Traub for a while now, and she hasn’t made up her mind on where she will commit. Schools like Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Marist College and Quinnipiac are near the top of her list. But for now Traub

has her eyes set on the year before her.

“I defi nitely want to break 18 minutes at Darlington,” said Traub. “At Holmdel I want to be around 18:15. It would be really nice if I do Nike Nation-als again. I would really like to go to Oregon again.”

Traub visited Oregon Univer-sity with her father a few years ago and marveled at the his-tory and aura that surrounds runners there. She even had the opportunity to run in the footsteps of her idol—Steve Prefontaine.

“When I was younger I went to junior Olympics in Oregon,” said Traub. “I ran Pre’s Trail with my dad. So from the very beginning that is who I looked up too.”

Just like Prefontaine at Or-egon, her running legacy at Eastern Christian will remain for years to come.

“Kristen has helped show the other girls what’s possible.

This could be one of the best teams ever at Eastern Christian. We won’t see this level of talent

here in a long time.”

Senior Kristen Traub of Eastern Christian High School.

By Dan CappelloLegendary distance runner

Steve Prefontaine once stated, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifi ce the gift.” For Kristen Traub, a ris-ing distance running legend at Eastern Christian High School in North Haledon, every op-portunity to use her gift is a blessing she doesn’t take for granted.

“Our sport is not always the most fun,” said Traub, a senior at Eastern Christian. “But in the end it always pays off.”

Traub is an athlete built to last. Her training program is unorthodox, but her spirit and respect for the sport of long distance running may be un-matched by anyone in North Jersey. Unlike most distance runners who put in 50-60 miles a week for training, Traub puts in a modest 30-35 miles. Her training program is designed to help her stay healthy and continue to improve in each race.

But don’t let her shy person-ality, soft voice and light train-ing regimen fool you. Once a race starts, Kristen is likely to blow past you without ever looking back.

“Kristen has helped show the other girls what’s possible,” said her high school cross-country coach Joel Apol. “This could be one of the best teams ever at Eastern Chris-tian. We won’t see this level of talent here in a long time.”

Only a junior, midfi elder Ari Sarkisian took

over the top slot in Cresskill’s career scoring chart when she netted her 61st goal in a 6-1 triumph, over Hawthorne Christian.

She scored twice to raise the mark to 62 as she erased the old standard of 60 set in 2009 by Florina Borova. A hat trick effort 10 days ear-lier in the Lady Cougars’ 4-0 rout of Leonia expedited the record-setting event.

Rachel Cole became the fi rst Dwight-Englewood soc-cer player to reach the cen-tury plateau in goals when she exploded with a four-goal output and distributed a pair of assists in a 6-1 rout also against Hawthorne Christian.

Cole, Sarkisian Set School Career Scoring RecordsRidgewood romped to an

8-1 win over Teaneck as the Lady Maroons presented Jeff Yearing with his 400th victory in his 25th campaign. Anna Callendo and Devon Maltz scored twice in the historic success.

Raba Nassif’s hat trick per-formance was the complete offensive story as Northern Valley/Old Tappan defeated Westwood 3-0. Alyssa Polon-sky was credited with assists on two of the goals.

Sara Cortes found the back of the Highwaywomen’s cage four times to highlight Para-mus’ 6-0 rout of Teaneck in a Big North Conference match. Noel Hodgins distributed as-sists on three goals.

Other outstanding effort in-cluded Sophie Lederer’s hat trick effort that keyed Glen Rock’s 8-0 romp over Garfi eld in a NJIC match in which Ra-

chel Gross contributed a goal and three assists.

Lyndhurst’s Grace Tomko connected four times to pro-pel the Golden Bears to a 7-0 triumph over North Arlington, Lodi’s Tania Castro scored four times in the Rams’ 7-0 victory over Manchester Regional, Carly Leipzig net-ted three goals as Northern Highlands blanked Teaneck 6-0, Wayne Hills’ Nickolette Driesse scored three times in leading the Lady Patriots to a 5-1 victory over Fair Lawn.

River Dell’s 8-0 rout of Ber-genfi eld was fueled by a three-goal output from Frankie Ma-ier while Lindsey Sansone tal-lied four goals and dished off an assist in leading Dumont to a 7-1 conquest of Fort Lee while Addie Jensen netted three goals in Ramsey’s 6-0 triumph over Ridgefi eld Park.

Elmwood Park’s fi rst suc-

cess of the season was a 7-1 victory over Garfi eld. The “W” was fueled by a hat trick performance produced by sophomore midfi elder Nicole Gomez who netted three goals and distributed a pair of assists. Her teammate Ni-cole Manire chipped in with a pair of goals.

Excelling in a losing cause was Eastern Christian’s Car-ly Veenstra who turned in a hat trick performance when the Lady Eagles dropped a 4-3 decision to Lakeland in a Big North confrontation.

Veenstra also produced a hat trick when the Lady Ea-gle defeated Elmwood Park 8-0.

By Jared HankoEnver Caymaz, a junior

midfi elder, ignited fi fth-seed-ed Pompton Lakes to a 4-1 triumph over 12th-seeded Passaic in the opening round of the Passaic County Boys Soccer Tournament when he drilled four balls into the Indians’ teepee. Caymaz is rated one of the premier for-wards in the state by USA Soccer Network, Inc.

Emerson’s Chris Fulcarino fueled the Cavaliers’ 6-2 win over Hawthorne Chris-tian by posting a hat trick as he scored three goals and dished off an assist. His teammate Chip Ensore add-ed two goals and an assist.

Dean Gaber netted a hat trick to spur St. Joseph Re-gional/Montvale to a 4-0 tri-umph over Teaneck in a Big North match in which SJR keeper Matt Turner stopped six shots on goal to record the shutout “W” between the posts. Clifton turned a hat trick performance by Danny Herrara into a 4-0 victory over Passaic Tech.

Rivals at opposite ends of the fi eld goalkeepers Trevor Nichol of Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep’s Jack Powers both achieved the goals they set before the contest between the Crusad-ers and Ironmen kicked off — they both registered shut-outs when the teams battled through regulation and two overtime sessions before settling for a 0-0 draw.

The identical concept oc-curred when Dumont and Ridgefi eld Park battled to a scoreless draw as the Hus-kies Ryan Linder made 20 saves and RP’s Sean Monah-an stopped fi ve shots.

Dumont also battled Park Ridge to a scoreless out-come with Linder making seven saves and the Owls’

Sean McCann stopping 10 shots that added to the fund-ing of his Saves for Gavin pro-gram (see page 3).

Posting a shutout perfor-mance by making more than 10 saves is a challenge for every keeper. In that catego-ry were Bergenfi eld’s Sergio Mejia (10 in a 1-0 win over Dumont), Midland Park’s Mike Formicola/Ben Monsma (combined 14 in a 5-0 win over Palisades Park), Pomp-ton Lakes’ Will Poindexter (10 in a 6-0 win over Manchester Regional), Ramsey’s Taylor Vozeh (12 in a 3-0 win over Ridgefi eld Park), St. Joseph Regional/Montvale’s Matt Turner (10 in 3-0 win over Pa-terson Eastside) and Wayne

Head Coach Evan Baum-garden has Ramapo off to an all-winning start as the Raid-ers entered the holiday recess with a 1-0 victory over Hack-ensack for their sixth straight success.

James Ortiz snapped a scoreless stalemate when he connected for the only goal of the game in the second half off an assist from Chris Nash.

Keeper Will Shiel made three saves to earn credit for the shutout in the goal. Shiel stopped three shots when Ra-mapo blanked Northern Val-ley/Old Tappan 1-0 four days earlier.

Brandon Alverado scored the game-winning tally off an assist from Mike Taranto. In a 1-0 overtime conquest of Northern Valley/Demar-est, James Buonavita did the damage, scoring a sec-ond half goal.

In a 3-2 overtime win over Northern Highlands, Nick Guagliardi, Nash and Taranto did the scoring. The message is clear — Baum-garden’s team is a lineup of quality players, any of whom may deposit the ball in the opponent’s cage and all of whom can prohibit the foe from scoring — the clear reason Ramapo is No. 1 in the northern section of New Jersey.

Structural Balance (Part 1)

This article is a summation of one of the most important concepts I have learned in my 15 plus years as a strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer. This concept was taught to me by legendary strength coach Charles Poliquin and has helped me design and prescribe the most benefi cial and successful workouts for each of my clients. Unfortu-nately, too many coaches and trainers either overlook or sim-ply do not understand how to recognize and/or correct struc-tural balance issues until it is too late.

Structural balance is a term used to describe the proper strength and fl exibility ra-tios between different muscle groups. These ratios dictate how well and effi cient a move-ment occurs, provide joint stability, increase every other facet of training such as, over-all strength and power and de-crease the risk of injury. Pretty important stuff, huh? Part 1 of this article is written to address the knee and help you get a bet-ter understanding of the func-tion and proper training of this joint.

The knee is one of the joints most prone to injury in sports. According to a study con-ducted at the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) of the Research Institute at Na-tionwide Children’s Hospital and published in the June issue of The American Journal of

Sports Medicine.“The knee was the second

most frequently injured body site overall, with boys’ football and wrestling and girls’ soccer and basketball recording the highest rates of knee injury. The most common knee injuries were incomplete ligament tears, contusions, complete ligament tears, torn cartilage, fractures/dislocations and muscle tears.

“Knee injuries in high school athletes are a signifi cant area

to knee injuries as far as strength imbalances go is a weak vastus medialis oblique or vmo. This is the small teardrop shaped quad muscle on the inside or medial portion of the knee. This is also called the jumpers muscle. This muscle helps to stabilize the knee and prevent buckling upon landing a jump or change of di-rection.

The second major problem is weak hamstrings in relation to quadriceps strength. One of the most common problems I see with all of my athletes when they fi rst come in is weak hamstrings and gluteal muscles (butt muscles). Now besides be-ing the most important muscles for jumping, sprinting, hitting, throwing and overall sports per-formance weakness in this mus-cle group causes extreme stress between the anterior (front) of the knee and posterior (back) of the knee. This stress over time or sometimes one time can lead to a crippling knee injury.

In addition to just anterior and posterior sides of the joint there is the issue between proper bal-ance between the individual

for concern,” said Dawn Com-stock, PhD, CIRP principal in-vestigator, faculty member at The Ohio State University Col-lege of Medicine and one of the study authors. “Knee injuries ac-counted for nearly 45 percent of all sports injury-related surgeries in our study. Knee surgeries are often costly procedures that can require extensive and expensive post-surgery rehabilitation and can increase risk for early onset osteoarthritis. Without effec-tive interventions, the burden of knee surgeries and rehabilitation will continue to escalate as the number of high school athletes continues to grow.”

Researchers also found sev-eral interesting gender patterns. For example, while boys had a higher overall rate of knee in-jury, girls’ knee injuries were more severe. Girls were more likely to miss greater than three weeks of sports activity (as op-posed to less than one week for boys) and were twice as likely to require surgery. Girls were also found to be twice as likely to in-cur major knee injuries as a re-sult of non-contact mechanisms, often involving landing, jumping or pivoting. Science Daily (May 23, 2008)

Although, the reasons for knee injuries are too numerous for a single article, in this article I hope to explain and educate you about some of the more com-mon reasons.

One of the reasons women are more prone to knee injuries than men is based simply on biome-chanical differences. One such difference is a shorter but wider pelvis in women then men. Many sports medicine experts have linked a wider pelvis to a larger “Q” Angle- the angle at which the femur (upper leg bone) meets the tibia (lower leg bone). This angle is generally degrees greater in women than in men. This increased angle places more stress on the knee joint.

The fi rst major problem leading

“heads” or parts of each muscle group. The quadriceps, consist collectively of four muscles. These are the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus interme-dius and rectus femoris. The function of the quadracep mus-cles is to extend the knee joint, absorb landing and change of directional forces and to bal-ance forces equally across the knee joint.

The posterior side of the leg is where the hamstrings lie. The hamstrings consist of three muscles the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris. The primary function of the hamstrings is to fl ex the knee as well as extend the hip.

Just like the quadriceps it is very common to see certain muscles of each group be much stronger than the others. This leads to the stronger muscles doing most of the work and increased stress on the weaker muscles causing muscle strains and knee sprains as well as a host of other problems.

The third major problem is fl exibility imbalances. The most common are tight illiotib-

time from many of the issues mentioned above.

I hope this article helps par-ents, coaches and athletes understand the importance of structural balance in training. I know it may seem very over-whelming but this is only a brief overview of the most common issues I see. My goal is to help teach parents, coaches and ath-letes that there is more to train-ing than just throwing some weight on a bar and doing a few sets or 5-10 reps. To truly help an athlete reach his/her potential it is important to fi nd a qualifi ed strength coach that can identify each athletes specifi c problems and needs. Once this informa-tion is gathered then a specifi c workout can be designed to ad-dress these needs and the over-all performance will improve dramatically and the risk of in-juries will be minimized! In part 2 of this series I will discuss the shoulder joint.

ial band, hip external rotators, tight adductors, quads and pso-as (hip fl exor) muscles. Proper fl exibility is very important to overall function, performance and injury prevention. Proper fl exibility not only means not being fl exible enough in certain muscle groups but also being too fl exible in others. Being overly fl exible in certain joints or hyper fl exible can cause just as many problems as being too “tight” or hypo fl exible.

Look at it this way, when a muscle is too tight the oppos-ing muscle group must work harder to move a part of the body as well as limit the range of motion and putting undue stress on other muscles and connective tissue leading to pain, poor performance and injury. On the other side of the coin a muscle or joint that is hy-permoble allows for too much movement and leads to plac-ing the joint and surrounding muscles into a very weak and vulnerable position.

Flexibility can be improved through proper and consistent stretching as well as soft tissue work for adhesion problems. Adhesions are scar tissue built up in muscle from injury, over-use and chronic stress placed on a muscle, joint or bone over

My name is Ron Sticco and I am the president of SSP Video, LLC, celebrating its 20th year in the Sports Videography business.

Occasionally, we may be re-quired to fi lm a sporting event on your premises and would like to assure you that SSP’s creden-tials are in order and up to date for your fi les. Upon request we will gladly send our liability and workmen’s compensation insur-ance documents in compliance with “USE OF SCHOOL FA-CILITIES” per NJSA 18A:20 & NJSA 18A:20-34

SSP has been a duly authorized and registered entity in the start of New Jersey since 1991.

The reason for this letter is that as of late state and federal governments, has been stepping up enforcement with regards to non compliance issues regarding unlicensed vendors operating in and around your school proper-ties. The main reasons for the increased enforcement are: that

uninsured Videographers, who are not registered as a legal enterprise, have no NJ tax ID Numbers, or proper insurance or federal employee registration therefore, the state and the IRS have no way of tracking their sales and income fi gures for tax payments.

I am certain that your school district has a written policy that covers contingencies for proper insurance and registration of outside vendors, such as SSP Video, LLC.

Please insure that the people on your school grounds have the proper credentials to be operat-ing there, and encourage your booster clubs to do the same. It would be unfortunate for you to be held liable should an ac-cident occur on your premises. I thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at sspvideo@

Helping Children Expand Their Vocabulary

One of the essential compo-nents of strong reading ability is a good vocabulary. A student should grow his or her vocabu-lary over time, but doing so re-quires regular reading and fre-quent study of new words. Stu-dents with limited vocabularies will struggle as teachers increas-ingly expect more independent reading -- and school reading becomes more diffi cult.

Here are a few ways parents can help their child improve his or her vocabulary:

Read, read, read. The most obvious way parents can help their child expand his or her vocabulary is to read aloud to-gether and encourage him or her to read independently. Ask your child’s teacher for book recom-mendations appropriate for your child’s reading level, but also let your child choose his or her own reading material. Fervent read-ers develop their vocabulary naturally, so if your child enjoys reading and does it regularly, he or she will learn new words.

Reintroduce words in multi-ple settings. Your child’s vocab-ulary list for the week includes the word “trait”. After reading the defi nition and quizzing him or her on it several times, fi nd ways to use the word in conver-sation throughout the week. Be sure your examples give suffi -cient context so that your child can decode the meaning if he or she doesn’t remember the defi -nition. For example, “You have some interesting traits,” is not as good as, “You are very hard-working — it’s one of your best personality traits.”

Pre-teach words before reading a story. If a book has a glossary of key words at the end, before reading to your child, read the glossary. Studies show that pre-teaching target words that appear within a text has a posi-tive effect on a reader’s retention and vocabulary acquisition.

Bergen County standout and Two-Time NJ State wrestling Champion Mike Massenzio will square off in the UFC Octagon facing the former WEC Light Heavyweight Champion Steve “The Robot” Cantwell. This will be Cantwell’s fi rst appearance at Middleweight. This will be the fi rst fi ght of the night and will ap-pear on the UFC Facebook site and will be livestreamed from Houston for free.

Despite suffering a loss via de-cision after taking a short notice fi ght (4 days) against Krzysztof Soszynski at 205 (light heavy-weight) at UFC 131 in June, the UFC was appreciative and im-pressed with his showing - giv-ing away more that 20 pounds in his effort, that they presented Massenzio with another place on the Houston card. Mike has been

ing so will help your child become a more eager and confi dent read-er, and a happier, more success-ful student.

For more on teaching children vocabulary and to read, read the Report of the National Reading Panel: “Teaching children to read: An evidence-based assessment of the scientifi c research literature on reading and its implications for reading instruction” (National Institute of Child Health and Hu-man Development, 2000).

When reading together, have your child defi ne words. When your child encounters unfamil-iar words, fi rst have him or her try to infer the meaning based on how the word is used. When your child is actively engaged in vocabulary study, he or she is much more likely to remember defi nitions than if you read them to him or her. If your child cannot derive a word’s meaning from context, defi ne it and provide an example of it in use. Then, ask your child to come up with a sec-ond example.

Point out words’ origins.Your child will learn about roots, prefi xes and suffi xes in language class at school, but help reinforce those teachings by pointing them out as you come across them in books. “Preview”, for example, is made up of the root word, “view” and a prefi x, “pre”, which means “before.” “Pollute” is a root word, but “pollution” has the suffi x “ion” on the end, which turns the verb (pollute) into a noun (pollution). Understanding word structure and how prefi xes and suffi xes change root words’ meanings will help your child defi ne many new words.

Make the dictionary your child’s new companion. Teach your child to use a dictionary and keep one nearby when reading. As he or she reads, encourage your child to jot down unfamiliar words to look up later — or look them up immediately. Your child might also benefi t from a com-bination dictionary/thesaurus, which includes synonym lists with dictionary entries to give students plenty of examples of words with the same meanings.

As your child adds to his or her vocabulary, so will he or she in-crease his or her reading speed and fl uency. Continue to encour-age your child to look up new words, use them in written and spoken context, and explore any budding interest in language. Do-

able to have a 12 week training camp in preparation for this battle. He is in the best shape of his career and is ready to roll. In addition to his superior strength and conditioning, he recently earned his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from Sen-sei Paul Carnicella.

Massenzio’s Iron Horse MMA fi ght team has had some great showing’s lately. Frankie Buena-fuente, the Garfi eld HS and Ber-gen Community College stand-out wrestler, made his Amateur MMA debut at the Evolution Fighting Championships on September 3rd. He submitted Mike Hanrahan on 0:42 of the fi rst round and was awarded the “Submission of the Night” hon-ors for his performance.

In addition to Massenzio’s bout at UFC 136 on October 8th, Ryan Contaldi will be fi ght-ing Tim Carpenter in Atlantic City on October 15th in the Bel-latore.
