Aviators do it on the ground, on the air, special teams
Hasbrouck Heights had a nice mix of running, passing, taking advantage of turnovers and special team plays to outdistance Queen of Peace on Saturday at Harrison High School. Aviators quarterback Darren Iurato threw for three touchdowns while senior running back Anthony Seidel ran for 113 yards to lead the offense and raise Hasbrouck Heights' record to 2-0.

Heights take on Glen Rock on Friday night at Depken Field
Friday night might be a big night for the Hasbrouck Heights football team. The last two seasons the Aviators have come out on the wrong end after losing back-to-back openers to Saddle Brook. And the Aviators have finished with back-to-back 6-4 records while just missing out on the state playoffs. The two losses to the Falcons ended a string of four straight years in winning the season opener. A victory over the Panthers will get them off to a great start in terms of the power points for the new aligned Group 1 North 1 state playoffs. "Our key game is the first game," said Hasbrouck Heights head coach Nick Delcalzo after the first scrimmage a couple weeks ago against New Milford. "We have to get better to be ready for them. They're (Glen …

Heights will also try for Bergen County Tourney win
It was a short trip in the state tournament last season and the Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge boys soccer team wants to make it a lot longer this fall. The Aviators were knocked out by Newton, 2-0, in the opening game of the 2011 Group 2 North state playoffs. What is so unusual is that it was the only loss for the season by two goals. In the 9-8 record in 2011, seven of the eight losses were by one goal. For this season Hasbrouck Heights head coach Vinny Marchese needs to replace the goal-scoring that he lost with the graduation like Dylan Colombo who was All North Jersey Interscholastic Conference first team forward. But Marchese and Heights/Wood-Ridge do have 10 seniors on the roster so they have the background to win. "We're a balanced …

Sport starts-ups in September
Did not get enough of volleyball during the recent Summer Olympics in London? Then you might want to mozy on down to the Hasbrouck Heights High School gym this fall. For the first time in more than five years, Heights will have student-athletes participating in the sport. And for the first time, girls will be wearing the black and orange of the school colors in this sport. For a few years Hasbrouck Heights worked with Wood-Ridge High School on a co-op team, but the two schools parted ways about halfway through the turn of the last decade. A couple of years ago, Hasbrouck Heights Athletic Director Michael Scuilla said that there was a great need for another sport for girls in the district. "There was a big need to add one more female sport …

Hasbrouck Heights High School alum thrives, survives program crisis at the University of Maryland.
It's been a bunch of ups and down for Patrick Cole in his initial experience at the University of Maryland. The Hasbrouck Heights alumnus had a very good freshman year despite the uncertainty of the Terrapins men's track and field program. After graduating from Hasbrouck Heights in 2011, there was talk about an uncertain future of the men's track and field programs at the school. The hope was to generate enough private funds to operate the teams at least for the 2011-12 school year. But the All Bergen County track and field athlete did not find out late in the summer of 2011 that the winter indoor and spring outdoor seasons were safe. "It was a shock and blow to the coaches and the athletes," said Cole about the announcement that they …

Aviator alum who played both softball and soccer her senior year at Heights will wear goalie glove at Felician College this fall.
Julie Sheridan has been savoring her last days of high school sports. The recent high school graduate is heading to Felician College in Lodi/Rutherford to start her college career this fall. She has been playing some softball for the Hasbrouck Heights UGALS team, which most likely are her last games of interscholastic softball as Sheridan is heading to Felician to play soccer. The graduated Lady Aviator was an All North Jersey Interscholastic Conference first team player in both softball and soccer during her senior year. She was hoping to play both softball and soccer at Felician but those plans went up in smoke. "I wanted to play both sports, but the Felician softball coach did not want me to play soccer," added Sheridan. Sheridan …

Allison Jones replaces Mastropietro as coach this season.
Allison Jones knows the pressure of the Hasbrouck Heights/Wood-Ridge girls soccer program and also the shortcomings of the program. The new Heights head girls soccer coach graduated in 2000 from Hasbrouck Heights and was part of the success the Lady Aviators had for more than a decade when it comes down to girls soccer in the South Bergen area. Jones takes over for Joe Mastropietro who was promoted as the new Hasbrouck Heights Middle School principal. Mastropietro, who took over for Ollie Pimm, had coached the last three years for the Aviators and won a league title each season while collecting an overall record of 52-8-5 record, one of the best marks in Bergen County. Before coming to Heights as the head coach, Jones had been assistant …

College coach believes they have golden catcher
Just look at Major League Baseball and you can count on one hand, a good hitting and good defensive catcher. For Pace University head coach Hank Manning he thinks he has one of those at his college as Hasbrouck Heights High School graduate Danny Wynne takes his bat and catcher's glove to the Westchester County, New York school. For Pace head coach Hank Manning he saw Wynne a few times before his senior year at Hasbrouck Heights and then at Bridgton Academy in Maine, a college prep school. "I just liked the way he swung a bat and his work as a catcher," said Manning. "Being a catcher, I know the attributes behind the plate. He's a catcher and he can hit which is worth its weight in gold." After finishing off his high school career the …
