Ron Hendrie wins national small schools coach of the year

February

It was a surprise when Ron Hendrie won regional small-school coach of the year. So what do you call it when the regional award becomes a national award?

The North Salem coach was named just that by NSCAA/adidas, and he was as shocked as anybody. He went to St. Louis as one of several people up for the honor. When they announced his name, he was frozen. You can read the full account here.

Section 1 likely realigning leagues

Jake Thomases
December
26

It’s not official yet, but it sure looks like Section 1 schools are about to undergo a massive league realignment.

And you thought sports was a refuge from the perils of the new economy.

It seems this recession has gotten its tentacles into high school sports as well, prompting a drastic response from Section 1 schools. Starting in the fall, the leagues for most sports are expected to be completely reconfigured. Geography, not school size or team competitiveness, will be the overriding factor. That means you could be seeing current Class C programs like Haldane in a league with Class AA programs like Ossining, because they’re both on Route 9.

While the teams will still split into their proper classes for playoffs, get ready to see a lot more blowouts than before. Especially in sports like hockey and lacrosse, where power leagues have kept games close until now. Now you’ll be seeing developmental teams getting murdered twice a year by elite teams.

I’m sure no AD is crazy about the idea, but economic realities make it necessary. Budgets have to be cut. Gas and other travel expenses cost thousands of dollars a season. The new alignment will greatly reduce travel time and distance.

Read Harold Gutmann’s story for all the details.

Boys: Hendrie wins regional coach of the year

Jake Thomases
December
20

Just got a call from North Salem coach Ron Hendrie. He received a missive, in writing, from NSCAA/adidas ordering him to inform the local media that he was named Region II coach of the year. Frankly I didn’t believe a word of it. Nobody likes to toot their own horn more than Ron Hendrie, so I’m pretty sure he made the whole thing up.

Just kidding Ron. Hendrie seemed legitimately surprised that he got this award. He already knew he was small schools coach of the year for New York State, but this is a big deal. Region II consists of NY, NJ, Pa, and De. There are only eight regions in the country. By winning this, Hendrie is eligible for national coach of the year.

One thing that wasn’t clear in the letter Hendrie got was whether this was a small-schools award or an overall award. I’m going to make a few calls and find out.

Journal News all-stars and all-county announced

Jake Thomases
December
12

Hey all, before I get into the all-star stuff, I just want to apologize to anyone who asked me about when the all-star section was being published. I’ve been telling people it was coming out Sunday, Dec. 14. Anyone who looked at today’s paper knows that’s incorrect. The all-star section, to my knowledge, has always come out as a special section in the Sunday paper. Until now. Which I would have been aware of had I been around the office the last couple of weeks. Instead I’ve been on vacation, so the pre-all-star buzz has been lost on me. Anyway, run out and pick up today’s paper if you haven’t already.

The three all-star (Westchester and Putnam)/all-county (Rockland) sections that we put out every year represent some of our most lavish work. Hundreds of hours of work go into them. They’re designed to celebrate the best athletes from the last season, in this case the fall season.

Each beat writer, along with the coaches in his or her sport, picks a first and second team, a coach of the year, and a player of the year. Then we in the office pool all those players of the year and debate which had the best year and should be Athlete of the Season. There’s one for Westchester/Putnam and one for Rockland.

I’m proud to say I won the debate for Westchester/Putnam this fall. Brian Rogers, Bronxville’s striker extraordinaire and my player of the year, gets the cover of the all-star section as Athlete of the Season. If you check out the all-star page here, you can see he’s got the big photo on top. I cracked up when I saw that his hair was all over the place again. Every photo we got of him all season had his hair flying around like a Chinese fan. Then he shows up for his all-star photo shoot with a new haircut, and I was like, “Aw, it’s too bad you won’t have interesting hair like usual.” Then somehow the photographer still manages to get him with his hair sticking up in the back. I don’t know how Brian does it.

To see all of the Westchester/Putnam boys soccer all-stars, scroll down a touch and click Brian’s smaller photo to go to the boys soccer page. That will give you the first team. Below the last photo you’ll see a link that says “Other Accolades.” Click that and you’ll find the second team and honorable mention. To read the full story on what made him so great, click the story title below his photo.

You can find the girls all-stars by clicking Lia Bellizzi’s picture on the main page. Jeff’s story on her is also below her big photo on the girls soccer page.

To find the Rockland all-county players follow this link. Below the giant pic of Nyack football player Anthony Davis you’ll see shots of Nanuet’s Lauren Kahn and Suffern’s Charlie Pirc, the players of the year for girls and boys, respectively. Clicking those pics will take you to the full all-county teams. Pirc, i just want to note, is a two-time honoree as player of the year.

There’s a lot of info on these all-star/all-county pages, especially if you follow more than one sport. Take your time and explore the best athletes the Lower Hudson Valley has to offer.

Congrats to all who made the publication.

Boys: Three locals make All-Region team

Jake Thomases
December
11

The NSCAA, which hands out these postseason awards, divides the country into eight regions. Region II encompasses New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Three local players—Brian Span of North Salem, Brian Rogers of Bronxville, and Greg Shaheen of Byram Hills—made the All-Region squad. Shaheen is the big surprise here since he kind of burst on the soccer scene out of nowhere. Only two sophomores made All-Region, and he’s one of them. Expect to see his name a lot the next couple years.

Girls: Section 1 gets two All-Americans

Jake Thomases
December
10

The girls did the boys one better by getting two locals onto the All-America team. Lia Bellizzi of Rye and Stephanie Velez of Mamaroneck both made the elite national squad. Bellizzi’s selection really stands out. Even though she carried Rye to an unexpected state title, she’s only a sophomore. There’s always a bias against underclassmen, no matter how remarkable. Only four sophomores made All-American. Bellizzi was good enough to be one of them.

Here’s the complete list.

K, Ashley Baker, Sr., Parkview High School, Lilburn, Ga.
K, Kristin Carden, Sr., Frank W.  Cox High School, Virginia Beach, Va.
K, Emily Cota, Sr., Upper Perkiomen High School, Green Lane, Pa.
