and gaining some success with a couple of league titles, the Wallington program fi nally hit pay dirt when they won their fi rst sectional title, Group 1 North 1, in 2009. The Pan-thers would win another state sectional title in 2010.
But in 2010 the state section-al championship was not the only hardware they brought back to Wallington, the Pan-thers would go on to win the Group 1 title with a 1-0 victory over South River High School down at The College of New Jersey. “It was really special team to be a part of and a tal-ented team,” said Fromfi eld.
Going from just talk of a soc-cer team to a Group state title, the bar is set high and not win-ning a state sectional title is considered a disappointment.
Wallington lost to Waldwick in the Group 1 North 1 state sectional championship last season. Despite the loss the Panthers had another big year and fi nished with a 19-4 re-cord.
And the Panthers have a goal fi rmly in place this season, win a sectional title. “I think that game is allowing them to be self-motivated,” said Fromfi eld about his 2012 team remem-bering the loss to Waldwick. “But if they let down, we will re-
mind them about that game.”Wallington started the 2012
season on a high note with a 3-0 victory over neighbor-hood rival Becton on Sept. 7. The Panthers started slowly,
By Edward KensikWALLINGTON — It’s hard to
believe that only 14 years ago that Wallington High School did not have a boys soccer team.
The Bergen County town that is fi lled with soccer-loving fans had not fi elded a varsity soccer team until 1999 when Pete Ferra and Mike Fromfi eld helped lead Wallington High School fi nally to the pitch.
For the fi rst two years Ferra led the Panthers on the side-lines and also got Wallington into the state playoffs in its fi rst year, 1999. At that time, you needed at least a .500 record to qualify for the state tournament.
Two years later, 2001, From-fi eld took over the reins and has not looked back. In his fi rst year as head coach, the Panthers accumulated a 16-4 record and made it to the Group 1 North 1 state sec-tional fi nal.
Before coming to Walling-ton, he coached at Clifton High School and St. Peters Prep where he played soccer for the Marauders. Fromfi eld also played a year of soccer at Fordham University.
Behind the work of Fromfi eld and his staff, Wallington could easily be considered one of the top 10 powerhouse boys soccer programs in Bergen

Like some of the other blue-collar communities in Ber-gen County, the students just don’t attend classes. They work after school and also help around the home that also includes baby sitting with many families having two parents working.
With a small school, one of the smallest in New Jersey, Fromfi eld understands the predicaments for his players so is able to work it out with the players if they have fam-ily obligations. “Our students have to grow up very fast,” said Fromfi eld about his stu-dent/athletes jobs off the fi eld. “For us families come fi rst, that’s part of it.”
In terms of parents, From-
fi eld raves about the parents of his players in the days when some adults have a tendency to be obtrusive in the workings of a school team.
“In Wallington the parents are very supportive and very respectable about what we do,” said Fromfi eld.
For Fromfi eld his key is com-munication and he and his coaching staff meet with his players constantly throughout
the season and one-on-one. “We do a lot of one-on-one conference with players to let the kids know what goals we have set for them,” said Fromfi eld. “We set a fl oor and a ceiling for them. We try to get feedback from them and meet with each one during the season. I think the fact that you have one-on-ones with each player that you can be specifi c.”

STAY HYDRATED. At all times, and particularly
in hot, humid weather, athletes should drink plenty of fl uids before, during and after train-ing, practices and games.
LISTEN UP. Coaches and trainers should
enforce the rules, encourage safe play, understand the risks and be certifi ed in fi rst aid and CPR.
PAY ATTENTION. Young athletes need to be
aware of injury symptoms and encouraged to speak up about any pain, dizziness or other is-sues that they may experience. Similarly, parents, teachers and coaches should be vigilant – looking out for any signs of injury, including nausea/vom-iting, dizziness, confusion, limping or anything out of the ordinary.
SEEK MEDICAL HELP. Depending on the nature and
severity of an injury, an athlete should seek immediate evalu-ation and/or treatment by a physician or other health care professional or be taken to the emergency room.
An athlete suspected of sus-taining a concussion (mTBI) should be removed from the game immediately and ex-amined by a trained profes-sional.
Coaches, trainers, parents and players should be on the lookout for symptoms includ-ing dizziness, confusion, loss of balance, headache, nausea and/or vomiting and extreme fatigue.
Other symptoms that may develop over time include irri-tability, diffi culty with memory or concentration, impaired judgment, behavioral issues, personality changes and even depression, as well as changes
players, coaches and parents are aware of the symptoms, know when to seek medical attention and understand the need for appropriate return-to-play strategies,” said Dr. Jasey. “It’s also essential for players to undergo baseline cognitive testing as part of a pre-season physical.”
Kessler Institute for Rehabili-tation, one of only fi ve federally designated Model Systems for the treatment and research of both traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries in the nation, of-fers the following sports guide-lines for athletes, parents, and coaches:
ACE THE EXAM. Every player should undergo
a complete physical before engaging in any sports activi-ties. In addition, a cognitive assessment, such as ImPACT testing, should be performed. This important tool, which is increasingly being used at both the professional and school-age levels, helps to establish a baseline reference that can be helpful in diagnosing the ex-tent of any brain injury.
GET EQUIPPED. Athletes should wear ap-
propriate footwear and sport-specifi c safety gear such as helmets, mouth guards and other protective equipment, all of which should be carefully fi tted. Equipment should also be checked regularly to ensure that it is good condition and still fi tting properly.
BE PREPARED. Adequate training and con-
ditioning is imperative before participating in any sport, to increase muscle strength, fl exibility and aerobic fi tness. Training, practice and pre-game sessions should always include warm-up and cool-down exercises.
schoolwork and academic performance.
Dr. Jasey also suggests the following concussion-specifi c strategies:
• Any athlete who experi-ences loss of consciousness, even if just for a few seconds, should be taken to the emer-gency room immediately for a thorough neurological evalua-tion. Unlike physical injuries, such as a sprain or broken bone, the signs of brain injury may not present themselves immediately.
• While there are no clear-cut guidelines for return to play, rest is critical. It takes time for the brain to recover and the athlete should limit physical activities and contin-ue to be observed for several days.
Studies show that more than 40% of athletes who ex-perience a concussion return to play too soon. Adequate “cognitive” rest is also im-portant, so television, video games and certain school-work should be kept to a mini-mum.
“Most young athletes recov-er from sports-related injuries, including concussion, provid-ing they are recognized early and treated carefully,” added Dr. Jasey. “Immediate medi-cal attention and appropriate treatment are necessary in or-der to avoid complications.
While coaches, trainers, fam-ily members and players need to be aware of the risks and symptoms, athletes also need to be honest about any prob-lems they are experiencing.
Too often we see players dis-regard their symptoms, tough it out and return to play too soon in an attempt to keep their competitive edge, which can result in serious complica-tions and lasting problems.”
FALL SPORTS ALERT: What Parents, Players and Coaches Need to Know
As the fall season approach-es, millions of student-ath-letes are preparing to take to the playing fi elds — and with that comes an increased risk of sports-related injuries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than seven million students participate in high school sports annually and millions more are active on the el-ementary and middle school levels as well as in recreation leagues.
High school athletes alone account for an estimated two million injuries, 500,000 doc-tor visits, and 30,000 hospi-talizations with the highest injury rate among football players, followed by wrestlers and soccer players.
In addition, more than 3.5 million children ages 14 years and younger receive medical treatment for sports-related injuries.
“Sprains, muscle strains, bone or growth plate injuries, fractures, and overuse or re-petitive motion injuries, as well as heat-related illnesses are the more typical injuries among children,” explained Neil N. Jasey, M.D., Director of Brain Injury Rehabilitation at Kessler Institute for Reha-bilitation.
“However, concussion, or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is increasingly one of the most common sports-re-lated injuries. It is also one of the most diffi cult to diagnose — and one of the most serious because of the long-term cog-nitive and behavioral prob-lems it can cause.”
The CDC estimates that more than 300,000 children sustain a concussion while participating in sports-relat-ed activities each year, with similar numbers occurring during practice as in games. “It’s critically important that

the adult sports’ consumer above the youth leagues of “Soccer Mom” fame. One of the reasons is, the soccer “bigwigs” don’t get it. While the Giants and Jets sell out, the Red Bulls can’t come close to fi lling their stadium in Harrison.
A typical example of soc-cer’s disastrous marketing image is taking place on the scholastic fi elds of New Jer-sey. U.S. Soccer, the nation’s governing body, is nothing but a hungry private en-tity money-making machine which cares about registra-tion fees and fi nes, for fouls and late reports.
This year, U.S. Soccer ex-panded to a 10-month season
Najem, an outstanding player, will be playing for the Red Bulls and not the Paladins. Ra-mapo, the defending NJSIAA Group III champions, had James Buonovita and Chris Nash leave its program to compete with FC Westchester which also picked up Bergen Catholic’s Trevor Nichol.
Not only does playing in the U.S. Soccer programs cost parents’ money, it basi-cally does not produce what it promises — a dream of play-ing professional soccer.
For every 100 youngsters who start playing soccer at the youth level, less than 12 percent are active as seniors in high school and the number dwindles to less than one per-cent of them seeing action on a college turf.
A total scam is the college showcase concept, especially the major ones in November. The events promise college coaches in attendance but there is a major impediment – it as an NCAA “quiet pe-riod” when coaches are not allowed contact with potential recruits.
On the high school scene, New Milford outscored Secau-cus 5-4 as Vito Cornish net-ted four goals for the Knights and fed an assist on Michael Akyon’s goal. Jose Palacios ignited Waldwick to a 6-0 rout of Park Ridge as the junior forward recorded a hat trick effort.
Palacios netted three goals and distributed an assist while Kevin Palaia, Dennis Reyes and Colin Sherman added solo goals. Senior midfi elder Rikuo Nakimoto dished off three as-sists and senior keeper Zach Neugebauer turned aside three shots on goal to record the shutout “W” between the pipes.
Lorenc Korreshi and Sebas-tian Plwowarczyk tallied two
goals apiece to spur Garfi eld to a 4-2 victory over Pompton Lakes.
Sean Etheridge netted a pair of goals to spur Ramapo to a 4-0 blanking of Hacken-sack. Mike Taranto chipped in with a goal and assist while Taylor Gerrity added a goal and James Ortiz was credited with two assists. Goalkeeper Will Shiel stopped three shots to receive credit for the shutout.
Michael Chen and Lian Obergfoll netted fi rst half goals as Dwight-Englewood defeated Lyndhurst 2-1. Keep-er Noah Rosenberg excelled between the posts, stopping 15 shots on goal.
Following a scoreless bat-tle in regulation, Wallington scored three times in over-time to defeat Becton Re-gional 3-0. Hubert Dul scored twice with Abdelrahman Mahmoud adding a goal. Kelvis Zfyt tallied two goals with Adian Kutner and Daniel Zehirov adding goals, all in the fi rst half, as Bergen Tech surged to a 4-0 victory over Passaic.
Rodolfo Mercurio excelled between the pipes as the Wayne Valley keeper stopped 10 shots on goal to key the Indians’ 2-0 victory over West Milford. Mike Lutterzo netted the game-winning goal in the fi rst half and Blerium Colaku added an insurance tally in the second half.
Paramus snapped a 1-1 deadlock at the intermission, scoring three unanswered goals in the second half to defeat Indian Hills 4-1. Lu-cas Tasci scored two of the goals with Joe Icovacci and Giovanni Piccione adding solo goals.

the high school soccer situ-
ation, see Rick Wolff’s col-

for its many national designat-ed academy programs, ban-ning its athletes from playing any high school sport between September and June.
This eliminates high school bonding and building life-long and cherished relationships. Remember that the real rea-son student/athletes attend classes is to prepare them-selves for the “Game of Life.”
At the college level, U.S. Soccer has worked a “deal” with the NCAA that allows col-lege players to play with pro-fessionals in the men’s PDL (Professional Development League) and the W-League (Women’s League). Basket-ball and football do not have similar arrangements with the NFL, NBA or WNBA.

by the halftime intermission in routing Passaic Valley 48-7 in the season opener. Senior running back Skylar Amador scored on a 35-yard run and hauled in a 19-yard TD toss from junior quarterback An-thony Lovecchio to highlight the rout.
Junior signal caller Joe Ge-lenius connected with Devin Marchesani on TD tosses of 11 and 24 yards but it was a 74-yard punt return for a touch-down in the second quarter by Chris Jacobson that brought the Falcon fans to their feet as fi fth-year head coach Leo Ciap-pina has Saddle Brook poised to repeat its outstanding 10-1 season last fall.
A critical turnover turned into the game-winning six-pointer as the combined Palisades Park/Leonia squad defeated Hawthorne 32-26 in overtime. Charles Simons turned his second pick of the game into an 85 yard touchdown run af-ter returning a third quarter interception 40 yards into the
end zone. In the second quar-ter, Hawthorne’s Dwayne Niele picked off a pass of fi ve yards in the end zone and sped 105 yards to a touchdown.
Jason Zaajaczkowski went long distance on three occa-sions to highlight Wallington’s 27-6 victory over Harrison. In the opening quarter he hauled in a 67-yard TD pass from Ryan Adzima. In the second quarter, he found a seam in the Blue Tide’s defense and raced 61 yards to the end zone and be-fore the halftime break, caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Adzima.
Mark Alberque was the key to success for Ridgefi eld Park in the Scarlets’ 26-20 conquest of Fort Lee. Alberque scored all four touchdowns racing 3, 1, 62 and 51 yards as Ridgefi eld Park rallied from a 7-6 defi cit follow-ing the halftime break.
Another explosive running performance was turned in by Queen of Peace’s junior run-ning back Kevin Momnohim. He churned out 242 yards rush-ing on only 10 carries, scoring four times on runs of 70, 52, 30 and 25 yards.
Bergenfi eld came back from a 14 point defi cit after one quar-ter and rallied to a 28-27 victory over Northern Valley/Demar-est. Junior quarterback Hassan Evans raced 48 and six yards for back-to-back touchdown runs in the third quarter and connected on a fourth quarter 10-yard TD strike to Tom Tolo-sa that that extended the Bears’ winning streak to six games.
New Milford pulled out a 19-14 victory over Bogota as senior running back Dante Tobler was the go-to- guy for the Knights. Tobler toted the pigskin 15
times, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown while catch-ing four passes for 55 yards and topped off his effort re-turning a kickoff 95 yards into the end zone.
Khalil Dilas registered two quarterback sacks and two tackles for losses to key the defensive unit along with Ju-lius Wingate who picked off a pair of interceptions as Dwight Morrow coasted to a 40-13 tri-umph over Dumont. Naiquan Thomas rushed 231 yards on 15 touches, including TD runs of 64, 55 and 59 yards while his teammate Juwann Winfrey started the season with a 82-yard return of the opening the kickoff.
Ramsey hung on to defeat Westwood 28-21 as senior quarterback Nick Dispota tossed 62-yard TD pass to Bri-an McHal with 3:09 remaining on the clock to post the win-ning points on the board. Dis-poto added a 58-yard scoring pass to Chris Gormally in the opening quarter and ran one-yard into the end zone in the second quarter while convert-ing all four extra point place-ments.
Trailing 14-0 entering the second quarter, Hasbrouck Heights came back to defeat Glen Rock 27-1 behind the ef-forts of senior running back/linebacker Anthony Seidel who put the Aviators on the board with a one yard run. He raced 34 yards with an inter-ception to know the contest later in the quarter and ran 17 yards in the fi nal quarter with the winning touchdown as Nickl DelCalzo began his 27th year at the helm on a winning note.

By Jessica QuasWhen asked how it would feel
to play against each other in the future, it was no less than a second before the question was dismissed by both. “We are going to the same college no matter what,” stated twin brothers Matthew and Stephen Rossi, senior captains and line-men for Ramapo High School Football team.
The competitiveness be-tween the twin brothers was seemingly apparent as were the obvious similarities in their appearances, voices and re-sponses to questions. When asked about what type of mu-sic they like, both responded with the same answer in the same order, “Country, Rap, Rock, Metal pretty much any-thing.”
When questioned about whom the best player was, both stated themselves. “That’s go-ing to bring up some fi ghting,” joked Matthew, “but I am go-ing to say myself.” When Ste-phen was asked, he replied, “He [Matthew] probably said himself didn’t he? Well, I think I’ve got him on offense but I’d have to say he’s a better defen-sive lineman than me.”
“They are very competitive with each other, more than with other kids,” explained fa-ther, Chris Rossi, “But they are also very supportive of each other with different goals. In weightlifting if one reaches a plateau the other tries to beat it. They push each other in a good way.” The boys both stated, “We are always com-petitive in whatever we do. We compete with each other on
the fi eld—playing a little game to see who can get the fi rst tackle.”
Matthew currently checks-in at 5’11 weighing 260 pounds while Stephen is currently 6’ weighing 265 pounds. Grow-ing up, the Rossi twins were not able to compete in regular foot-ball leagues unlike their peers. Told they were too big for their age to participate, the brothers had to wait until their freshman year of high school to fi nally get their opportunity. “We would always hang out with my fam-ily and cousins and watch foot-ball all the time so we couldn’t wait until we fi nally got to high school to play,” commented Stephen.
“They always wanted to play football and it was the one sport they were told they couldn’t play so they were very excited when they fi nally got the chance,” said Chris. The twins, both line-men, started in their freshman year and moved up to the Var-sity level the following season. “One of my most memorable moments with my brother was the fi rst Varsity game of our ju-nior year when we started right next to each other,” shared Mat-
thew. That same season, both linemen received 2nd Team All League at Guard.
“It is great to see them togeth-er—you know they do a lot to-gether and they are very much alike,” said Chris Rossi. “Foot-ball is one of those sports you are excited to watch but as a parent, after each play you are looking for them to get up.”
Luckily, the brothers have not had any serious injuries but they both indicated that when one goes down, the other is con-cerned and feels uncomfortable without his twin by his side. “It’s a twin thing,” commented Mat-thew, “If we are not together it feels weird.”
Stephen commented, “As twins you’re with the guy all the time—forever, and if I see him [Matthew] get hurt I want to make sure right away that he is okay. You get a gut feeling that he may not be able to play any-more.” said Stephen.
The twins were recently named Captains of the Ramapo team who are currently ranked 11th in The Record football pre-season, Top 25. The Rossi Cap-tains are looking to end their se-nior years with a 9th state title for the Green Raiders.
The young men displayed a bit of doubt about where they hope to attend college; how-ever, one thing was for cer-tain—they will be attending the same school no matter what in hopes to continue playing next to each other.
Both are good students and able to successfully juggle school work and football. “It is a little rough in the beginning since we are in pre-season and then starting the new school year, but it gets easier as the year goes on,” indicated Mat-thew. One of the main differenc-
es between the two was what they hope to study in college. “I would like to major in Busi-ness, not sure about Market-ing or Advertising,” said Mat-thew. Stephen, on the other hand, displayed his interest in Exercise Science or becoming a personal trainer.
In their spare time, the boys both stated they are very much into weightlifting and are very competitive with one another in any type of activity. “We are big power lifters—we lift everyday and hang with friends, usually always doing something active,” said Ste-phen. The boys are also mem-bers of the Track and Field team for the Green Raiders and compete in the shot-put and discus throwing events, yet still maintain football is their favorite sport.
Stephen recalled one of his most memorable moments with his twin as last season’s playoff game against Pascack Valley. “It was one of the last plays of the half and I blocked their [Pascack Valley] kicking fi eld goal then we ran in for a touchdown. I remember my brother and I chest-bumped the air together ‘cause we were so excited.”
The young men prove to be a stand-up duo and a double-threat for their opponents next season. Although unsure at this point of what college they will end up choosing, the twins will for certain be together on the playing fi eld.
“As their father, I would love to see them continue with their football career, get a good ed-ucation of course and perhaps coach in the future if they choose to continue on that level. I am supportive of them in whatever they choose.”

SADDLE RIVER DAY REBELS
Following a winless 0-12 record in 2011, despite a 4-0 loss to Midland Park on opening day, there is cause for optimism. Keeper Casey Cunliffe made fi ve saves.
Second year coach Tatiana Mathelier has welcomed a talented freshmen class to interact with a small group of veteran upper class players.

Frosh Daniella McMahon is a talented rookie defender.
Senior Young Hoe Koo put the “foot” in the game as he split the uprights with nine points to key the Maroons to a season-opening 27-0 victory over Paterson Ken-nedy.

Junior signal caller Ja-mal Locke fl ipped a 12-yard TD pass to Cooper Nidds in the opening quarter. John Boyland bolted 26 yards to paydirt in the second and Tom Bonnano burst three yards over the goal to close out the scoring in the fi nal quarter.

His son, senior Kevin Olsen tossed TD pass-es of fi ve and four yards to senior tight end Ryan Kardux and scampered 10 yards over the goal line in the second quarter before going to the sidelines with a season-end-ing foot injury. Senior Christian Rodriguez scored on TD runs of 15 and two yards while senior Robby Schiller ran 21 and 24 yards into the end zone.

In short, the US Soccer Fed-eration, one of the nation’s leading travel programs, is insisting that talented high school soccer players make a choice: either play with us, or play with your HS varsity team… but you can’t do both.
Here’s the problem. There’s no real good reason why

same kid on his high school team would play 100% of the game. Plus, of course, there are no guarantees of athletic scholarships. And of course, a kid also has to pay hun-dreds of dollars to play on a USSF team.
To me, I just fi nd this entire situation totally outrageous. Sure, the USSF people feel that an extra 10 weeks of training will help the Ameri-can boys reach the Olympics in soccer. I’m not sure I buy into that. Besides, the Ameri-can female soccer players didn’t seem to have any prob-lem in being competitive, and of course, winning the gold in London. As of right now, the USSF doesn’t have the same mandate for HS girls.
It’s hard enough being a kid playing sports these days. Why does the USSF have to make it that much more dif-fi cult?

back in January and Febru-ary of this year, and it was a serious issue then. Now, this issue only continues to spread, this time to Long Is-land, which is a long-time hot bed of excellent high school soccer.

USSF should be forcing kids into this dilemma. Sure, we all know that college coaches recruit only from travel teams and showcases, but to make a kid walk away from his HS team and buddies for an extra 10 weeks of soccer? C’mon. That’s not only not fair, but it’s also wrong.
Dick Hogan, my guest this AM, is a long-time high school and college soccer coach on LI, and he was outraged by this mandate. Already high school programs are losing top players because of this. Then, Matt Allen, the highly-successful soccer coach at By-ram Hills HS in Armonk, NY, called and complained about it. Byram Hills is losing two top players…Mamaroneck HS is losing fi ve.
And of course, it’s all being done in the pursuit of trying to gain a partial scholarship for college soccer. There are, of course, no guarantees here. USSF doesn’t guaran-tee anything more than each kid on its roster will get 25% playing time in a game. That

Helping Teens Makethe Most of the Li-
By Dr. Raymond J. Huntington
Good communication with your teen about school issues can make your job as a parent much easier. However, if you and your teen seem to have a disconnect, perhaps it’s time to explore how you can com-municate more effectively about school and other things. Here are several tips that will benefi t your relationship with your teen:
Try not to make every conversation about school. School and learning should be a top priority at home, but re-member that grilling your teen about homework, grades and studying at every opportunity is likely to cause him or her to retreat. Every conversation does not have to result in a les-son about the importance of school. Talk with your teen for the sake of conversation. Ex-press an interest in his or her life outside of school.

Strive for more positive in-teractions than negative ones. Avoid backhanded compli-ments or praise followed by criticism. For example, when your teen completes his or her homework or chores without frequent reminders, resist the urge to point out how he or she didn’t do so the night before. Find kind and constructive ways to mention areas of im-provement, and be sure that a majority of your conversations with your teen are affable.
Listen, listen. Practice active listening without interrupting or being too quick to interpret your teen’s thoughts and feel-ings. Doing so will make your teen feel valued and respected and more likely to open up about school or other issues. Try not to overload your teen with advice; instead be a sound-ing board fi rst. Make your teen feel comfortable talking to you.
Recognize that your teen is growing up. Many teens feel re-
sentful when parents treat them like children, telling them what to do and how to do it and try-ing to control their every move. Extend your teen trust, but be clear that you expect him or her to earn that trust. Let him or her make decisions when ap-propriate, and if mistakes are made, don’t rub his or her nose in them. Instead, let your teen know that mistakes are to be learned from.
Respect your teen as you want to be respected. Treating your teen with respect means never dismissing his or her opinions, even if you don’t agree with them. It means talking to him or her in a way that is polite and caring, not judgmental. Your teen is growing up and changing, and though it may be tempting to pry into his or her life, respect the fact that he or she needs privacy. Just as you want respect from your teen, he or she wants and deserves your respect, too.
Your role as a parent is evolv-ing, and at times it may be diffi cult to know how to main-tain good communication with your teen as he or she moves toward independence and adulthood. Developing an open relationship will take continued focus, but remem-ber that the steps you take to strengthen that bond today will give your teen the sup-port he or she needs and set the foundation for your future relationship.

Franklin & Mar-shall was blanked for the fi rst time in 46 games as Muhlen-berg shut down the Diplomats, 21-0. Cresskill’s Brendan Wengerter, a linebacker for the Mules registered six tackles and picked off an interception.

Peter Mosca of Wyckoff claimed the fi rst place tro-
phy in the Super-Senior Men’s Division for 72 and older at the 2012 Bergen Men’s and Ladies’ Senior Golf Championships contested at the Rockleigh Golf Club. Mosca, who fi nished in the top fi ve in 2011, carded an 18-hole round of 74 to win by six strokes.
Closter’s built up a fi ve stroke advantage to win the women’s division with an 82 while de-fending champion Nancy
Vasile of Paramus placed fi fth a 94.
Wyckoff’s Gary Franci cap-tured the overall individual title when he posted a round of 71. Bergenfi eld’s Donald Kerwin, the defending champion, shot a 78 for the runnerup slot in the pre-senior men’s division.
Most golfers never experience the thrill of a hole-in-one in a lifetime. Spencer Shih not only aced the 136-yard fi fth hole at the Alpine Country Club on Au-gust 29th, but three days later using the same nine-iron, Shih did a repeat, dropping his tee shot into the same ninth hole.
