ATHLETES OF THE MONTHATHLETES OF THE MONTH

Proudly Presents

Blewitt and Haemmerle provided the pop in the attack when the unbeaten Crusaders scored the first 10 goals in dominating Colorado’s defending 5A state champions, Arapahoe High School, 15-6 in Littleton, CO. Blewitt, who will continue his academic/athletic at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, produced a hat trick, scoring three times and dishing off an assist while Haemmerle netted a pair of goals.

Trailing by three goals, the Crusaders rallied to defeat Cherry Creek, Colorado’s 11-time state champions, by a score of 10-9 after Blewitt knot-ted the game with six seconds left and Haem-merle tallied the game-winner in overtime to complete a hat trick effort.

HS CODE OF CONDUCTHS CODE OF CONDUCT: : Should Kids Be Penalized for Missing Should Kids Be Penalized for Missing

Games Due to Family Vacation?Games Due to Family Vacation?

will instruct players at the fi rst practice that anyone who misses a practice or game during a vacation break will be penalized. Usually, for ev-ery missed practice or game, the kid will sit a game. And, some coaches, in an attempt to drive home their point, will add that there’s no guarantee that they get more playing time once they sit out their suspension – that they have to earn back the right to get time in the games.

But parents often complain, saying that vacations are meant to be about family time. They say that coaches always say that “family comes fi rst” – but apparently not during a scheduled school break.

Parents often point out that it’s about having quality time together with their kids, and that since usually both par-ents work, this is a week which is very valuable to them. Thus, it’s not fair to punish their kid for missing a game because he/she is on a family vaca-tion.

Is there a solution? I’m hon-estly not sure. There are good arguments on both sides.

Some coaches will hold only

Year’s. Most varsity sports programs last about 10 weeks. During that time, if there’s a week slated off for vacation, that can really wreak havoc with the schedule – especially in the spring where outside sports can be derailed by the weather.

optional practices during the week. But is that fair to the kids who stayed home over the break?

Or coaches will try and slate only non-league games. But again, is that fair to the kids who remained and competed while their teammates went off to the beach?

Is this a question of dedica-tion to the team?

The ideal situation is prob-ably to shut down all games and practices during the week, but when you have a 10-week season and the weather is iffy, it’s tough to make this happen.

Of course, it would be great if all the kids stayed home and practiced and played, but it’s just very, very hard for a coach to mandate it. And again, should there be a punishment?

If you have any solutions, I’d love to hear them. Go to askcoachwolff.com.

By Dennis WilsonKyle Weiner scattered a pair of singles to highlight Bergen Cath-

olic’s 10-0 victory over arch-rival Don Bosco Prep in a Big North Conference diamond encounter. Alec DeMattheis doubled home a pair of teammates. Pushing solo runs across the plate in the bot-tom of the fi rst and second innings earned the Crusaders a 2-1 vic-tory over Paramus Catholic as Jared Vereby scattered eight singles in picking up the win. Jared Finkel was the winning hurler when the Crusaders defeated Paramus 5-2. Sophomore John VanDeMark keyed the offense, legging out a pair of two-baggers that drove in a pair of runs. Anthony Apreda recorded the win on the mound in the Crusaders’ 15-2 triumph over Northern Highlands as Van-DeMark recorded three RBIs with Jordan Attilio, Joe LaSpina and Sonny Uliana driving in two runs apiece. Depth on the hill is essen-tial for survival in the county and state tournaments, a commodity the Crusaders have been exhibiting during the regular season.

Hawthorne unveiled its inaugural alumni baseball event on April 19, raising more than $3,500 to implement funding for the Jack DiSalvo Leadership Scholarship. The fi rst recipient, to be recog-nized in May, will be a Hawthorne student/athlete who exhibits ex-cellent academic and leadership skills. A standout on the diamond for the Bears has been reliever Tino Graziano who picked up the win in the three extra inning games early in the season.

Joe Mitchell pitched and batted Bogota to a 6-5 triumph over Paterson Charter as he picked up the “W” on the mound and doubled home a teammate with his bat. Nico Calabia drove in a pair of runs while Franklin Jimenez doubled in a teammate. Junior southpaw Chris Baab went the distance scattering three hits and fanning 16 as DePaul defeated Clifton 6-1. Glenn Allen tripled and doubles, knocking in two runs to highlight Cresskill’s 7-1 victory over Park Ridge. Nick DeCandia tripled in a pair of runs and Troy Henderson was the winning pitcher. DePaul posted a 6-3 win against Pompton Lakes that was powered by round-trip-pers off the bats of Joe Butesa and Marty McIver. Daniel Drip-chak hurled a fi ve-hitter as Dumont blanked Teaneck 8-0. Senior catcher Steven Papadopoulos blasted a solo homer and Kevin Barone doubled home a pair of teammates. In a 7-5 victory over Ridgefi eld Park, Papadopoulos went deep with a three-run homer while teammate Mike DiGirolamo tripled with the bases loaded. Papadopoulos made it three bombs when he delivered a three-run homer in Dumont’s 15-5 rout of Dwight Morrow in which he was the winning pitcher. DiGirolamo homered and knocked in fi ve runs when the Huskies defeated Ramsey 10-7. Chris Messe-rian scattered three hits as Fair Lawn blanked Passaic 10-0. Mes-serian aided his cause at the plate, drilling an RBI triple while Adam Hebel doubled and drove in three runs.

COACH OF THE MONTHSS



By Edward KensikPOMPTON LAKES — Pomp-

ton Lakes High School has a long line of tradition in base-ball.

There have been only four head coaches in the long his-tory of Cardinals baseball and the most recent general that has had success is Paul Tanis.

Tanis is in his 16th season as the Pompton Lakes ring leader and has continued win-ning after taking over for the previous owner of the position, Dennis Arnold, who had been the head coach for more than 30 years.

As of last week the Cardinals were 9-2 after coming off a season where they captured the school’s fi rst Passaic Coun-ty title in 17 years. In addition Pompton Lakes have won back-to-back state sectional championships and made it to the Group 1 title game both years only to fall.

For Tanis all he has known in his teaching career is the Pompton Lakes school sys-tem. He had a couple of years of coaching at Lakeland High School, his alma mater, after he attended Springfi eld Col-lege. And he said that he will only know Cardinal red for his lifetime. “This is where I have been and hopefully where I will retire,” said Tanis.

Outside of a little time at Lakeland at the beginning of his coaching career, he has spent his entire career coach-ing at Pompton Lakes. After being an assistant coach for Arnold, he took over the reins for Arnold in 1998.

And Tanis and Arnold con-tinue to stay in contact almost daily even with Arnold now re-tired and living in Maine.

“I have been fortunate to learn from great coaches,” said Tanis. “He (Arnold) still follows the team all the time and sends me email every day.”In the previous two seasons the Car-dinals have accumulate a 47-8 record only to fall in the Group 1 title game. In 2012, Pompton

Lakes dropped a 6-1 decision to Audubon and dropped a 9-5 verdict to Middlesex last season in Toms River.

And the Pompton Lakes head coach says a bulk of the suc-cess of the program lies in the players and the help from the administration.

“This is not a one horse show,” said Tanis. “We have great kids and a great administration that believes in us.”

And Pompton Lakes Athletic Director Colleen Moyle knows what type of coach they have. “Coach Tanis is a well respected coach that pushes his players to be the best they can be both on and off the fi eld of play,” said Moyle. “His attention to detail and work ethic have certainly played a major role in the suc-cess his program has had not only the last two seasons but throughout his career.”

For Tanis success on the var-sity level as head coach started right away in his fi rst season in 1998 where his team went 22-2 and made it to the fi nals of the Passaic County Tournament. “It was a blessing to have all that returning talent,” said Ta-nis about Arnold leaving the cupboard full of top players in 1998. “I still can tell you the lineup from that year. When he (Arnold) retired he left every-thing to me and he didn’t coach from a distance.”

And for the past two seasons, the group that Tanis has had who made it to Toms River has been special. He graduated a lot after the 2013 season includ-ing catcher Jonathan Steele and second baseman Sean Lindberg, who were both All Passaic County fi rst team play-ers along with Dan Foote, who was named to the All Passaic County second team. Steele was named to the All New Jer-sey Group 1 team.

One of the biggest holes to fi ll was Steele, who Tanis said was one of the best catchers he has seen and set several offensive school records. “He was a great catcher,” said Tanis about Steele

and added his replacement, ju-nior Nick McCarthy, has played well defensively and has been improving offensively.

Also part of the last two sea-sons and in their senior season is Kevin Magee and Mike Coss, who were also named to All Passaic County fi rst team.

While Tanis graduated the likes of Steele, Lindberg and Foote, he has both Magee and Coss who have been a deadly combination on the mound as southpaws the last couple of years. In addition both are two of the team’s best hitters and will be playing baseball for NCAA Division 1 schools next spring. Magee playing ball in the Big East at St. John’s University and Coss attending Marist College.

Both are expected in 2014 to match or exceed last season’s stats on the mound, Magee at 9-1, 1.12 ERA and 106 strike-outs in 57 innings along with Coss’ numbers at 7-3, 1.25 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 67 innings.

“Those two kids have tremen-dous talent and don’t have any egos,” said Tanis about the pair. “They support each other and give each other tips.”

Tanis added that both Coss and Magee are a major ben-

Tanis Continues Hard Ball Tradition

efi t with the younger players. “They are like having coaches on the bench,” said Tanis.

He said that he has had a great run the last few years with talented players and joked with Magee and Coss graduat-ing this season that he will have to get back to work. “I’m going to have to start coach-ing,” said Tanis.

In addition to Magee and Coss this season, Tanis has solid players with the likes of designated hitter Eric Moelt-ner, junior shortstop Jimmy Huber, senior outfi elder Ryan Kazanowski who is the team’s leadoff hitter.

Tanis added that the team’s pitching staying healthy will be a key for another run in both the county and state tournaments.

He said that he would like to get the offense going in the fi rst few innings. With the solid pitching, it has belied the Cardinals offense that gets off slowly from the fi rst pitch. “We are a slow starting team and are fortunate that we have the starting pitching that we have,” said Tanis. Pompton Lakes of-fense is able to get going later in the game and when it gets to the other team’s bullpen.

up, No Hand and Dual Bell Get Ups to name a few.

I then began to incorporate Heavy Get Up training and worked on methods to imprint the movement into the muscle memory. Owning each seg-ment of the movement became my focus. The Roll to Press, Sit-up to Elbow, Tall Sit, Side Press, Tall Kneel and the Stand-ing Press. Each section of the Get Up needed to be owned. To imprint this I employed three basic approaches. The fi rst was practicing a 5 second hold at each of the 6 specifi c positions of the Get Up. The second was to perform 5 repetitions at each position and the third was the 5 3 2 1 Method.

Training Method #1:At each of the positions, hold

the Kettlebell in the lock out for a 5 second count. Feel the posi-tion of your body and embrace the tension. Don’t simply do it to get it done and over with, though the temptation will be present. Focus on increasing your stability in each of the 6 positions on the way up as well as the way down.

Training Method #2: This method always evokes

moans and groans from my class. Well, that simply makes me grin and tell them how many sets to do. Execute 5 presses at each of the 6 posi-tions. Change position with the Kettlebell in the full lock out, no resting in the Rack. Go up one side of your body, change hands at the top and do your Get Down on the opposite side with the same 5 press repeti-

Dirty Dozen Exercises: DMove #8, The Handstand

The next movement in our Dirty Dozen Line-up is #9, The Get Up. The Get Up is often re-ferred to as the Turkish (TGU) or Low Sweep Get Up. Just the mention of the movement conjures up fear, apprehension and utter abhorrence in most people. I had the same attitude until I began to absolutely love this movement!

I recall when I fi rst started training with Kettlebells, I only did the TGU’s (as we referred to them) enough to pass my tests and move on. After the 6 months or so upon passing my RKC 1, I started to notice that through my practice, my TGU’s were getting better. I also no-ticed that my shoulder was more stable and the weights of my other lifts were increasing! Much to the chagrin of my stu-dents, I started to completely

embrace the Get Up. I soon realized that I wasn’t

just doing them to pass my next test, but to get the most that I could from the movement. I started to add different types of Get Ups to my training regi-ment. Bridge, Squat, Bottoms-

tions at each position. Repeat on the other side, but perform the ascent with the side that descended last time.

Training Method #3: I call this one the 5 3 2 1

Method. I use this for increas-ing my 1, 2 & 3 RM (Repeti-tion Maximums). I will gener-ally perform 3 to 5 sets of the aforementioned repetitions. Beginning with a lower weight and increasing to a higher one. Be very cautious when performing the doubles and singles, especially if you are in “uncharted waters” (a weight that you’ve never done previ-ously). I noticed the most im-provement when I employed this method last in the pro-gression. It is essential to have complete stabilization and OWN each and every of the 6 positions to safely increase the weight of your Get Ups.

Well it’s now time to grab your Kettlebell and GET UP!

Improving strength, power, and endurance are typically expected goals when you talk to soccer, softball, or basket-ball players. But who would think they would share train-ing objectives with competi-tive ballroom dancers? The fact is that ballroom dancing, a highly skill-oriented activ-ity like gymnastics or fi gure skating, requires tremendous athleticism, a controlled com-bination of quickness, agility and power – not to mention personality and charisma! En-durance is also a key to their success on the dance fl oor, be-

cause the precise movements required become diffi cult as dancers fatigue. This also makes keeping a smile on your face that much more diffi cult.

For 13 year old, Andrew, and his sister Nina, age 10, training in the PUSH program at Volt Fitness in Glen Rock, NJ, has come very naturally. The bene-fi ts on the dance fl oor are obvi-ous. Their mother, Sheila Bober is pleased with the results, “I noticed that their quickness and agility have improved, but more than anything else, and most impor-

tantly, I’ve noticed how much their stamina has increased.” This dramatic improvement is due to the increased anaerobic conditioning that comes natu-rally with the PUSH training program.

This movement skills-based training program features pro-tocols used by world-class ath-letes from track and fi eld to vol-leyball, and not only improves athletic performance but also enhances every participant’s fi tness levels. So whether you are running, jumping or danc-ing on the athletic fi eld, you will be at your very best!
