While Hawthorne Chris-tian lost 60-54 to DePaul and missed out on getting to their fi rst county fi nal, the game came down to the last minute where the Defenders could have even tied the game with a three pointer.

For Standford though his team does not talk about the David versus Goliath thing, he knows that his players play with or against some of the premiere players in the county in AAU or traveling basketball in the off-season.

The Defenders have been building since last season when they only won 10 games to this season when they were at 19-3 after the loss to DePaul. “I don’t know if you can plan to win 19 games,” said Standford. “We won 10 games and did not lose anybody coming back.”

Count Hawthorne Christian sophomore Alex Thomas as a fan of his coach. “He knows what I am going through,” said Thomas who is a center just like Standford who was a big man at Hawthorne Christian. “He’s great at analyzing my play. He sees the fl aws of what I am doing.”

While Hawthorne Christian missed out on winning at coun-ties this time, Standford and the Defenders won their fi rst league title in school history taking the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference Patriot B division

championship.“It’s great to be able to put

a banner up in the gym,” said Standford. “After the kids grad-uate they can come back and see it.”

It’s not fair though to any of the Hawthorne Christian pro-grams when it comes to league titles. It has only been four years that the school has been part of a league. Previously, the teams competed as an independent.

The fi rst two seasons they were part of the former Ber-gen County Scholastic League Olympic division and then when the state realigned the leagues they joined the NJIC.

For Standford it was defi nitely a difference from playing bas-ketball to picking up the board and teaching basketball. “I was around the game a lot but it’s a different perspective when you are on the sidelines with the ball in your hand,” said Stand-ford who admitted it took some time. “I defi nitely was getting my feet wet.”

He said that he was able to get advice from several coaches when he took over. “I was fortu-nate to be able to pick the brain of some of the coaches in the county,” said Standford.

While many coaches com-plain about the interference of parents, Standford said that he has not had any problems with his parents. They send home a contract about what to expect from the players, parents and the coaches that is signed by

By Edward KensikHAWTHORNE — Kevin Stand-

ford had just fi nished a one-year stint with the Washington Gen-erals, yes those Washington Generals of Harlem Globetrot-ters fame.

Standford had gone through a rigorous one-year stint with the Generals and was looking to play basketball overseas in Denmark or Sweden.

But at the same time a teach-ing position and a coaching po-sition opened up at Hawthorne Christian, his alma mater where he played basketball before playing at Eastern University, outside Philadelphia.

“I was going to play overseas but a teaching and coaching position opened up for me at Hawthorne Christian,” said Standford. “I guess the Lord wanted me to come here so I jumped at it.”

That was the start of the new century and for Standford it’s been an up and down 11 sea-sons especially when you are talking about a school that has an enrollment of 103 students, boys and girls.

But there Standford and the Defenders were in the Passaic County semi-fi nals on Feb. 18 at Kennedy High School going up against a DePaul school that has almost six times the enroll-ment. The other two schools in the semi-fi nals were Kennedy with an enrollment of 1,775 and an Eastside in Paterson, a team that was put together from an

the parents and the students.He added that one of the big-

gest challenges facing him in high school basketball is the long season. “How to keep the team motivated and interested over a three months season is a challenge,” said Standford. “There is always an excite-ment at the beginning of the season.”

He also remarked that he stresses to the players that there is plenty to play for on the court. “Our motto is to work whole heartedly for the Lord and not just man,” said Stanford.

For Standford he never will forget his path coming to Haw-thorne Christian especially playing for the Generals. He said that they played almost every day for almost 100 straight days, but he will never hand over the experience.

“It was amazing playing at some of the biggest arenas up and down the east coast like Madison Square Garden,” said Standford. The Harlem Globe-trotters have two teams, one playing on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. “It was every night except for Super Bowl Sunday. It was a grueling schedule.”

But he will not take anything away from his experience as the head coach for the Defend-ers and he sees himself being at his alma mater for another ten if not 20 years in the future.

Hawthorne Christian head basketball coach Kevin Standford addresses him team during the semis versus DePaul.

NJSports Fitness & Wellness recently caught up with Saddle River Day School men’s men’s varsity basketball captain David Rosado, after he scored his 1,000th point on Feb. 7. eb. 7. Athletic Director Danny Brown also joined the conversation:

Rosado: me two ying to d. I was ng wins lly wor-1,000th t came, grateful ch it in ere. My

n proud be hap-e. It was wouldn’t g if we we got it

Question: What happened ppened during the game

Brown: ally was it was at the

school. It’s very, very rare that anyone in this county or state gets 1,000 points in a two-year span … It was very, very good for the school. David is very, very graceful. He is not one to promote him-self, not one to look for acco-lades. It was a little bit more dif-fi cult to get him to understand the impact of what he did here for himself, but really for the school. And it was important that he understands that. It was a great game. It was more important that we get the win and get into the states, and ev-eryone knew that. David could have had an opportunity to dunk the ball a couple of times to make it a very, very dramatic 1,000 points, but he passed up those two opportunities right away to make great passes to his teammates. They built an early lead, and when it happened, it happened. It wasn’t a thing he had to have for his career. It’s here, and it’s great, and he’ll be noted for it. But it was more im-portant to get the team over the hump to get into the states.

Question: Did you receive a Question: Did you receive a lot of support from your team-lot of support from your team-mates, family and friends?mates, family and friends?

Rosado: Rosado: Absolutely. They were happier than I was. I was just worried about getting the win.

Brown:Brown: That was probably the most fans that have been at a game at Saddle River Day basketball for many, many years. It was packed. The gym seats 640 people, and we were at capacity. It was standing room only.

Question: Did you think you Question: Did you think you would get the 1,000th point would get the 1,000th point during that specifi c game?during that specifi c game?

Rosado: Rosado: Yeah, after awhile. I only needed three to get it, and I could have had it the game before, but I just didn’t score enough. But we won the game before that too. I didn’t want to focus on it and then not play my regular game and just try to focus on getting those three points.

Question: Did you feel any Question: Did you feel any pressure during the game?pressure during the game?

Rosado:Rosado: I scored it at the free-throw line, and I think it was the most pressure-some free shot that I’ve ever shot, considering everybody was holding their breath every time I shot the ball.

Question: How does David Question: How does David do, academically?do, academically?

Brown: Brown: The academic re-quirements here at Saddle River Day – this is a college prep school – so the standards here are very high, if you want to compare them to the rest of the county or state. David has done very, very well academi-cally. He will have no problem getting into the school of his choice, if he chooses to play, which he does. That was Da-vid’s goal of coming to Saddle River Day, after having several other parochial schools as a choice. He chose this as a very mature young man to under-stand what it would do for him

in two years.

Question: Do you have any Question: Do you have any specifi c plans for the future?specifi c plans for the future?

Rosado:Rosado: Not defi nite, but I do want to work in interna-tional business, and I want to travel.

Question: Are you looking to Question: Are you looking to play basketball at a college play basketball at a college somewhere?somewhere?

Rosado: Rosado: Yeah.

Question: You don’t know Question: You don’t know where yet though?where yet though?

Rosado: Rosado: Not yet.

Brown:Brown: David has been to visit a couple of schools in San Diego, obviously all the lo-cal schools are hot and heavy for him. His family is look-ing to move out west, so he has looked at some schools out there. His options are still open. There’s about 11 schools that are pursuing him pretty consistently at this point.

Question: Is there anything Question: Is there anything either of you would like to either of you would like to add?add?

Brown: Brown: David was selected Athlete of the Week this year. I mentioned his scoring level last year and this year. I would expect him to fi nish again as the leader in the county for sure and very high in the states. I think equally, or even more important, is his attitude and the respect that he has, not just amongst his peers, but amongst the refer-ees, the other athletic direc-tors and the other coaches. He is very well received and respected for his attitude as a player, as a competitor, and what he has given back to the school here is very, very im-portant as well. He’s a good all-around kid. We’re proud as a school to have him repre-sent us; that’s for sure.

So…if you can spot all this about Lin, and I can see this, how come ALL the pro and college coaches and scouts couldn’t see this? Here’s a 6-3 guard who led his HS team in California to a state cham-pionship, but the only two D-I programs that sniffed at him were Harvard and Brown, not exactly known as basketball powerhouses.

Then, after a terrifi c career at Harvard, Lin isn’t drafted by anyone in the NBA. He

gets signed as an undrafted free agent, bounces around for a year, and then lands as a benchplayer for the Knicks.

Nobody, but nobody, thought this kid was going anywhere as a pro player. And it was good that Lin majored in economics at Harvard, because the time was getting close for him to start thinking about applying to business school.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. The REAL story of Jeremy Lin is that for every kid who sits on the bench in sports, this is their hero. Lin personifi es in every way the lament of every benchwarmer who pleads: “Coach, just give me a shot…I know I can play. Just put me in the game.”

Remember, for every star player, there are countless other kids who bide their time, riding the pines. For me, I can personally attest to that feel-ing. Back in the early 1970s, after being All-County in baseball and football in high school, I found myself trans-formed into a benchwarmer on the Harvard varsity base-ball team.

By Rick Wolff First, let me start with this:

if you haven’t seen Jeremy Lin, the sensational new point guard for the NY Knicks, play yet, do yourself a favor and make sure you do.

Your impressions will be just like mine: Wow, is this kid quick! It’s amazing how fast he is when he drives to the hoop. He’s got terrifi c pe-ripheral eyesight – he sees the court with remarkable vision. And he shoots like an All-Star veteran.

The Lesson of Jeremy Lin: A Personal Refl ection

ries in Omaha). But as a re-serve infi elder, I could never understand why the coach couldn’t look at me and see how much potential I had.

That feeling was fueled by the fact that I played each summer in the Atlantic Colle-giate Baseball League (ACBL) in New York City, where doz-ens of college players are showcased for pro scouts each year. And in the ACBL, I not only held my own, but I was an All-Star player.

But then I would head back to Harvard, and would fi nd myself the bench. The coach just wasn’t impressed with what I could offer the Crim-son.

But then, after my junior year, my story had a happy ending. Based upon my showings in the ACBL, the Detroit Tigers took a chance on me and made me a low-level draftee.

I was absolutely ecstatic! And that following spring, I found myself in Lakeland, FL, in spring training in the Tigers’ organization, getting to know young aspiring play-ers like Jim Leyland, Ron LeFlore, Joe McIlvaine, and others.

Was I as successful as Jer-emy Lin? No, not even close. But I was good enough to be drafted and play pro ball for a couple of years. But for me, the dream of fi nally get-ting off the bench and get-ting into the game had been fulfi lled. So, benchwarmers everywhere, look at Jeremy Lin’s amazing success and keep the faith! Your turn is coming.

By Sara Jamshidi

When Teaneck erupted to a 24-9 lead after one

quarter, the suspense in de-termining the identity of the winner of the 2012 Bergen County Tournament was eliminated. The top-seeded Highwaywomen coasted to a 72-49 victory over third-seeded Northern Highlands to capture their fi rst BCT title since 1988.

Senior forward Jakelle King-Gilchrist captured the indi-vidual spotlight by produc-ing a double-double effort. She pumped a game-high 28 points though the iron and grabbed 11 rebounds while classmate Deja Gabbidon, a guard, also turned in a dou-ble-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Northern Highlands de-feated Immaculate Heart Academy 69-58 to advance to the title game for the fi rst

time since 1987. Jackie Rey-neke tickled the twine with 24 points and Sonya West con-tributed 23 but the verdict was resolved at the charity stripe when the Lady Highlanders built up a 22-8 advantage.

Leading 17-12 after eight minutes, Teaneck bridged the second and third quarters with a 45-18 run to rout Paramus Catholic 70-37 in the lower bracket of the semifi nals. Kay-la Gibbs tallied a game-high 20 points while the well-bal-anced Highwaywomen’s at-tack included 14-point efforts by King-Gilchrist and Rebecca Sparks with Monique Cheek adding a dozen points,

Paramus Catholic pulled out a 55-54 victory over Immacu-late Conception/Lodi when senior guard Alyssya Corntett tossed the ball through the rim as the buzzer went off to top the quarterfi nal excitement. Sophomore Madison Dunbar converted four free throws in the fi nal 20 seconds as North-

ern Highlands held off Ridge-wood 51-45.

In the pre-quarterfi nals, eighth-seeded Ridgefi eld Park rallied from a 15-point defi cit to topple No. 9 River Dell 46-42. Sophomore center Kather-ine Haines netted a game-high 20 points and grabbed nine rebound while her teammate Julie Rovito scored 10 points. Immaculate Conception/Lodi, the No. 12 seed eliminated fi fth-seeded Ramapo as frosh center Samantha Fuehring tal-lied 17 points, picked off six rebounds and blocked a pair of shots while Alyssa Sinski added 13 points.

Junior center Dejah Taylor recorded a double-double as Paramus Catholic defeated Bergenfi eld 59-49. Taylor scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while senior guard Alisha Cornett was the game’s top scorer, popping 18 points into the basket. Te-aneck routed Glen Rock 72-39 as Gibbs scored 25 points with

King-Gilchrist chipping in with a 12-point effort.

Wood-Ridge’s Nicole Fleck became the 10th Bergen County girl to surpass the 2,000-point plateau in career points when she pitched 20 points into the basket on Feb-ruary 22 when the Blue Dev-ils dropped a 64-36 verdict to Hanover Park.

Bergenfi eld earned its fi rst share of a conference title since 1990 when the Lady Bears defeated Ramsey 44-24 on February 21 to create a three-way tie for the cham-pionship of the Big North Conference Patriot Division with Pascack Valley and River Dell. The Lady Bears’ Jessi Corredor reached the 1,000 point plateau when she net-ted 22 points in a triumph over Indian Hills.

Leonia senior Miya Okado tallied 27 points in a win over Waldwick to reach the 1000-point mark.

25th victim of the campaign in defeating Don Bosco Prep 62-53 in the championship contest of the 56th Bergen County Jamboree played Thursday (February 23) at Ramapo College in Mahwah. It was the fi rst time since 1996 that the champion was unde-feated and the Highwaymen were also the last team to ac-complish the feat.

Four Highwaymen powered the attack with Joel Hernan-dez netting a team-high 17 points, seven of which came at the charity stripe while Chris Jones fl ipped 14 into the basket. Shaakir Lindsey, who dominated the fi nal two minutes after the Ironmen had cut the gap to three points, tallied 13 points with Neville Fincher adding 11 points.

Don Bosco Prep jumped out to a 23-11 lead after one quar-ter before pulling away to a 76-59 romp over Hackensack in the semifi nals. Leonte Car-roo pumped a game-high 22 points through the iron with Jemal Mosely adding 15, sev-en of which came at the free-throw line while Paul Jorgen-son chipped in with an 11-point effort.

Teaneck bridged the second and third quarters with a 38-15 run in routing Tenafl y 60-35. Jones tossed a game-high 19 points into the basket with Lindsey adding 16 and Hernan-dez netting ten points.

Hackensack utilized a well-balanced attack with fi ve play-ers reaching double fi gures as the Comets snapped a 30-30 deadlock at the intermission to defeat Paramus Catholic 75-70 in the quarterfi nals. Jamik Moore popped a team-high 19 points into the basket with Ra-shad Figueres netting 16, Eu-

Trailing by three in the sec-ond half, DBP went on a 22-3 run to pull away to a 66-49 tri-umph over Dwight-Englewood as Justin Salem and Tom Sweeney came off the bench to combine for 23 points. Dwight-Englewood’s Wesley Dickinson powered the Bulldogs’ upset attempt by fl ipping 23 points into the basket, grabbing a dozen rebounds and blocking two shots.

Tenafl y surged to a 13-0 lead

in opening up 23-8 advantage entering the second quarter. The Tigers received 33 points from their starting guards, se-nior Chris Orozco and junior Steve Sobo while senior for-ward Marco Baratta netted 10 points.

Wood-Ridge’s record-shat-tering 119-95 victory over Manchester in regulation on February 17th was fueled by a north Jersey season-high output of 45 points by ju-nior guard Mike Gibney that included a quartet of three-pointers and seven conver-sions from the charity stripe. His teammate Gary Whriten-our fi nished with 26 points, including seven treys.

• Two large studies in Austra-lia (2001) and Korea (2003) and two smaller studies in the United States found physical fi tness scores to be signifi cantly and positively related to academic performance (students from el-ementary through high school).

• A 2001 study of fourth-grade students in Massachusetts found that students who received 56 or more hours of physical edu-cation per school year scored signifi cantly higher on stan-dardized test scores in English and language arts than did stu-dents who received 28 hours per school year.

• Researchers analyzed FIT-NESSGRAM test results from more than 2.4 million Texas stu-dents in grades 3 to 12 during the 2007-2008 school year and found signifi cant correlations be-tween physical fi tness achieve-ment and better performance on state standardized tests.

“At Huntington, we strive to give children the organizational and time management skills to be better students and keep their stress levels down,” says Ottogali. “Our experience is that students who are capable of managing their stress effectively are well equipped for the school challenges to come. Exercise is one of the best stress relievers and a wonderful way for a child to feel better, resulting in both a healthy body and a healthy mind.”

RIDGEWOOD, NJ (Grassroots Newswire) February 8, 2012 — According to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion, “the academic success of America’s youth is strongly linked with their health.” In fact, students with higher grades are less likely to be physically inac-tive and engage in unhealthy dietary behaviors.

“As educators, we generally see that students who are ac-tive in school activities — which often include sports activities — are strong academic per-formers,” says Heather Ottogali of the Ridgewood Huntington Learning Center.

“The research is clear — ex-ercise is good for kids in more ways than one. We encourage families to promote an active lifestyle. Not only is it important for a child’s physical health, it also appears to have a very positive impact on a student’s academic well-being.”

Ottogali shares the following information on the positive re-lationship between exercise and academics, as reported in the “Physical Education, Physi-

cal Activity and Academic

Performance” research brief published by the Active Living Research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation:

• In a 2006 study of nearly 12,000 adolescents from across the U.S., it was found that adolescents who reported par-ticipating in school activities (sports or physical education) or activities with their parents were 20 percent more likely to earn A’s in math and English.

UnderstandingCrossFit

The CrossFit program is wholly unique in its aims, pre-scriptions, methodologies, and implementation, writes Coach Greg Glassman in “Understand-ing CrossFit.”

We sought to build a program that would best prepare train-ees for any physical contin-gency—prepare them not only for the unknown but for the un-knowable as well.

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-inten-sity, functional movement.” No aspect of functional move-ments is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

The methodology that drives CrossFit is entirely empirical. We believe that meaningful state-ments about safety, effi cacy, and effi ciency, the three most impor-tant and interdependent facets of any fi tness program, can be supported only by measurable, observable, repeatable facts;

i.e., data. We call this approach “evidence-based fi tness.”

The CrossFit methodology depends on full disclosure of methods, results, and criti-cisms, and we’ve employed the Internet (and various intranets)

to support these values. Our charter is open source, making co-developers out of participat-ing coaches, athletes, and train-ers through a spontaneous and collaborative online community. CrossFit is empirically driven,

clinically tested, and commu-nity developed.

In implementation, CrossFit is, quite simply, a sport—the “sport of fi tness.” We’ve learned that harnessing the natural camara-derie, competition, and fun of sport or game yields an inten-sity that cannot be matched by other means.

CrossFit increases work ca-pacity across broad time and modal domains. This is a dis-covery of great import and has come to motivate our program-ming and refocus our efforts. This far-reaching increase in work capacity supports our initially stated aims of building a broad, general, and inclusive fi tness program.

The modest start of publicly posting our daily workouts on the Internet beginning six years ago has evolved into a commu-nity where human performance is measured and publicly re-corded against multiple, di-verse, and fi xed workloads.

Everyone has heard of the Golden Rule, do

unto others as you would have them do unto you. What about leave the gym the way you wish to fi nd it? A major part of gym etiquette that has been lost in society today is putting weights back in their proper place after using them. Taking the time to put weights you used back in their proper place is a common courtesy that goes a long way.

Before starting to work out with a bar or machine that is unattended, proper gym eti-quette is to ask anyone in that area of the gym if they are us-ing it or if they saw anyone else using it. Nine times out of ten an unattended bar with weights on it is not in use, and that is why putting your weights back after using them is important. However, there is a chance that someone has taken the time to set up the weight on the bar and still has a few sets to go, so asking before using is always the right thing to do.

Cardio machines are fre-quently used in the gym and for good reason. Unfortunate-ly, a cardio machine is also a potential health problem. Car-dio machines help users get their heart rate up, burn fat and burn calories, but every ac-tion has a reaction and in this case the reaction is sweat. The amino acids that are in sweat are breeding grounds for bac-teria. Bacteria are a potential health risk for the members of the gym. Upon fi nishing on a cardio machine, you must al-ways wipe down the machine

with the cleaner provided by your gym.

Following these three sim-ple guidelines of proper gym etiquette will go a long way in your gym. Making sure that you put weights back after using them, asking before us-ing, and cleaning a cardio ma-chine after use will give you a good reputation in your gym. A good reputation in the gym can help you network with other members and create contacts for a career or your social life.

On the 45th anniversary of the introduction

of pro basketball to Bergen County by the American Bas-ketball Association (ABA), the International Basketball League (IBL) is ready to take North Jersey by storm with the introduction of the Jersey G-Force, a brand new team that will call Bergen County Community College its new home. The team was created by sports agent Timmy Butts in an effort to give promising basketball players a chance to play professionally while looking for opportunities on overseas teams.

In 1967, the Teaneck Ar-mory in Teaneck, NJ was the original venue for what is now the NBA’s New Jersey Nets franchise that will relocate to Brooklyn, NY for the 2012-2013 season. The team was fi rst called the New Jersey Americans and competed in the American Basketball As-sociation before moving to Long Island where it changed its name to the New York Nets.

When ABA fans remember the New York Nets, they recall two ABA titles won in 1973-74 and 1975-76 with two Hall of Fam-ers – Rick Barry and Julius “Dr. J” Eving.

Butts sees tremendous poten-tial in local players and hopes that with the introduction of this team many of them can pros-per in their careers, “There are great basketball players in the New York-New Jersey area who have the ability to play at the next level, if not in the United States, in the emerging mar-kets overseas.” He continued, “Bringing the IBL to the New Jersey area will have a two-fold benefi t as it gives basketball players a chance for exposure and development, while pro-viding high quality family en-tertainment in our community that is affordable.”

Despite the fact that the team’s offi cial schedule has yet to be released, it was an-nounced that on March 25-26 prospective players will be given an opportunity to attend a tryout camp in hopes of earn-ing a spot on the team. Barry Mestel, owner of the IBL’s Or-lando Venom and Winning Ways pro, a basketball scout-ing and training company, will oversee the tryouts which will be held at the Monroe Sports Center in Monroe, NJ.

Also in attendance will be G-Force head coach Wes Mat-thews, a two-time NBA champi-on with the Los Angeles Lakers. Matthews brings years of pro-fessional experience as well as proven, effective coaching ex-pertise. He most notably trained his son, Wesley Matthews Jr., who just recently signed a con-tract with the Portland Trailblaz-ers. Matthews will be joined by assistant coaches Andre Rick-etts and James Ryan.

The IBL, originally created in Vancouver, WA, is currently in its eighth season and boasts some impressive statistics, in-cluding having over 1000 play-ers compete in the league, from

which over 200 went on to play for international teams, while another 24 moved to the NBA. The IBL has already proven to be a successful plat-form for prospective players and Commissioner Sharleen Graf sees great potential in the newest IBL addition.

“The IBL is committed to the development of bringing basketball to communities in the east, servicing our teams and fans. Expect a positive impact in the community, strong competition and for the Jersey-based team to transition to full season sta-tus with the support of the league” stated Graf. “To see two leaders on the east coast working together already as Tim and Barry are to fi nd the best athletes raises the bar and refl ects on the col-laborative environment of the IBL.”

The G-Force will only play a quarter of the full IBL sched-ule as a branding team with the fi rst game slated for this spring. To learn more about the IBL and the G-Force, in-cluding try-out camp sched-ules, visit www.IBL.com.
