Swimming Notes:

How about Morristown High School Boys’ Jeff Gomez broke the record in the 100 backstroke record (which stood since the late 80’s) and the boys 400 free medley team of Jeff Gomez, Tyler Poling, John Sittmann and Mark Albright shattered the 9 year existing record by close to 3 seconds?

Ice Hockey: Mountain Lakes surprises: The first one is always the toughest!

The Lakes won their first Mennen Division game and first of the 2006 season as Zach Cohen and James Putney found the net. Lakers standout keeper Matt Lowell turned away 25 shots in the shutout against Morris Knolls, 2-0.

==============================================================

Boys’ Hoops: Morris Catholic feeling at home in the Colonial Hills.

The Boys Basketball team is off to a quick 3-0 start. The Crusaders are a Morris County Top 10 and have scores 64 points over Montclair-Immaculate and 57 over Pingry in their first two wins. In a game where defense was the name of the game, the Crusaders were held to 24, 8 in the first half, but managed to hold the Ridgers to only 22. As all coaches know, its not how many you score, or how many they score, but who scores more when the final buzzer sounds.

Boys’ Hoops: Morris Hills takes first loss.

The Scarlet Knights have been lighting up the scoreboard, but ran into a Par Hills team that used a string second quarter to hand the Scarlet Knights their first loss. Parsippany Hills 73 (2-1) - Morris Hills 52 (2-1).

==============================================================

Girls’ Hoops: Hanover Park Girls opened to 3-0.

Hanover Park beat the Chatham Cougars 52 – 44. The Cougars fell to 1-2 and are definitely on of the two best 1-2 teams in Morris County. Morristown handed Roxbury their second loss. Both squads are top ten materials and you can count on plenty of wins from the Lady Gaels and the Cougars. The Hornets had four players contribute with 10+ points and have 5 or 6 young ladies that can tally up the baskets. Don’t think for one second that this conference is anywhere near settled. Mendham beat Chatham convincingly last week. West Essex then beats Mendham last night.

Girls’ Hoops: Lady Colonials refuse to lose: Morristown 36 (2-1), Roxbury 31 (1-2)

Three sport & All around standout Alycia Ryan dropped in 10 points. Teammate Erin Phillips also added 10 for Morristown. Again, Roxbury is not a sub 500 team and look for this squad to win a hand full of games as the season moves on.

Good friend, mentor and great guy Tom Wilson won his 400th basketball victory Thursday in Newark. Tom is all about the kids and loves coaching. This is a well deserved honor and mile stone, but Wilson just wants to his team to keep playing well. Wilson will glad tell you stories about any of the 400 wins, and a handful of the losses too, but he’s more focused on the kids improving. Wilson proves a great coach year after year. You’ll see his teams emphasize the players’ strength and design new plays daily. You’ll hear the girls joke that they have 100 in bounds plays. In return, his players believe in what he teaches, execute to his designs and produce winning seasons year after year. Wilson has only coached 2 sub 500 season in his 25 years coaching Girls Hoops at Whippany Park. The 55-51 victory over Arts was #400, as the Wildcats up’d their record to 2-1

Track is back! The Lid Lifter, appropriately named after one of the most dedicated coaches in the history of Track and Field: Jack O’Leary was simply a great coach. I was lucky enough to run for this legend at Morris Hills in 1990 and privileged enough to run with his sons. This great men treated every runner like his own son and was all about the kids. I was very happy when the track community honored this man with this honor.

Notes and results from the Lid Lifter:

Hanover Park's Mike Cuppari set a new meet record in the 55 hurdles with a time of 7.75. The old mark of 7.83 was set by Hanover Park's Ken Fung in 1996.

Madison 38 – Hanover Park 23 (12/21/06)

Madison wins first dual meet of the season

There are times when things just fall into place. There are times when things just go your way. Most importantly, there are times when you work hard to assure that things do go your way. First year Coach Steve Healey and his strong Madison Dodgers (1-0) executed their game plan to near perfection. The 103 draw could not have worked out better for the Dodgers. It had to be a huge advantage for Coach Healey knowing that he could rely on his stacked upper weights. It may have been a surprise to some in the Hanover Park gym, but it was two key lower weight stunners that guided the Dodgers to their first win of the season. Freshman Christian Mazzochi and Captain Austin Bone both recorded pins and put the Dodgers in excellent shape as the strength of their line was sent on to the mat. Madison upper weights responded winning six of the final seven matches and coming from behind 13-19 to secure a 38-23 victory over Hanover Park (1-1). Not only did Madison win the final four matches of the evening, but did not allow a point.

103 -- Charles Savino (HP) tech fall Nicky Rodriguez (M), 22-7 (HP 5-0)

The Hornets took four points in the opening bout with freshman Charles Savino earning an 22-7 Tech. Fall over Madison’s Nicky Rodriquez. Savino lead 4-1 at the end of the first and then used six takedowns, two penalty points and reversal to build a 20-7 lead, before taking down Rodriquez 14 seconds into the third.

112 -- Ryan Colwell (M) dec Jordan Toma (HP), 4-2 (HP 5-3)

This was an even fought match Colwell took down Toma in the first period. Toma tied it up early in the second period, but Colwell escaped for a 3-2 lead. Colwell used his third period decision to choose defense and escaped to up his lead to 4-2 and held it to get the Dodgers three important points.

119 -- Christian Mazzochi (M) pin Mike Johnstone (HP), 5:02 (Mad 9-5)

You can expect these two talented freshmen to meet many times during the next four years. You can be sure that each match will be an exciting one. This first match was an exciting one. Mazzochi fought off numerous shots by Johnstone and used a head lock after a sprawl to take down Johnstone in the first period for a 2-0 lead. The second period went scoreless except for a penalty point gained by Johnstone when Mazzochi was hit with a second stalling call. Mazzochi chose defense for the third period and was able to catch Johnstone by reaching up for a half and hipping up for a pin from the bottom. The pin gave Madison a 9-5 lead.

125 -- Anthony Johnstone (HP) tech fall Mike Cerillo (Madison), 21-6 (HP 10-9)

140 -- Chris Tracy (HP) dec Steve Martin (M), 11-6 (HP 19-13)

Chris Tracy outscored the Dodgers’ Captain 4-1 in the first and 5-3 in the second. The Senior Dodger did a great job of not allowing any back points and held Tracy in check preventing the Hornet Junior from getting any team bonus points. Hanover’s lead improved to 19-13.

145 -- Andrew Conley (M) pin Matt Melillo (HP), 3:15 (HP 19-19)

171 -- Bill Hutchinson (M) dec Ron Landy (HP), 5-0 (Mad 28-23)

The third tri-caption for the Dodgers was able to hand Hanover Junior Ron Landy his first loss of the season. Hutchinson, runner up in last year’s MCT, champion at Mt. Olive Saturday and ranked #1 in the Area by the Daily Record’s Joe Hofmann, used a first period takedown. An escape and take down added to Hutchinson’s lead as the Dodger began to build the lead.

189 -- Kyle Kaufmann (M) major dec Joe Williams (HP), 8-0 (Mad 31-23)

Kaufman, also ranked #1 in the Area, champion at Mt. Olive, 2005 Regional Finalist and Bronze medalist at 171 in the 2005 MCT, majored Hanover Senior Joe Williams. Williams continued to go after Kaufmann, but the Dodgers Junior used three take downs on his way to victory.

==================================================

Coach Healey comments on Mazzachi’s important win: We wanted Christian to wrestle his best. He knew that is what he had to do to beat Johnstone.

Coach Healey comments on Bone’s important win: We asked to Austin to be patient and try to survive the early period when Cali attacked. He had the energy to catch Cali late in the second.

Coach Ryerson (Hanover Park) comments on the match: I am proud of how our kids wrestled and we’ll continue to get better.

Coach Carchietta comments on the match: Both coaches used their line up and moved wrestlers around to get their favorable match ups. Madison is very strong up top so the 103 draw was a huge advantage for them, knowing exactly what they needed to do after 152. The Dodgers were impressive and wrestled smart. Hopefully I can get to watch the Pequannock match Saturday, it will be good one. Hanover should be very proud of the upper weights going toe-to-toe with some talented upper weights and not getting pinned or giving up back points. This new look Hornets line up is young and, as Hanover assistant coach Ryerson said, “will only get better.” This was a great non-conference match for both teams and dual meet that should be continued every year in the future. It was obvious after the match that both coaches were very proud of their kids and are both optimistic for the 2006-2007 season. And just so everyone knows, for the second dual meet in a row, our Referee was superb. I am more than a happy to praise these guys, as should you!
