WAYNE - The kids attending Wayne Hills' Back to Basics football camp were rewarded with a real treat Thursday.
For Chicago Bears tight end Greg Olsen, son of Wayne Hills coach Chris Olsen, to come back to his alma mater was one thing. When Olsen’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, Bears teammate Brian Urlacher and former Giants linebacker Jessie Armstead also showed up, that was a different story.

When I was looking for a State sectional final to attend Monday I inadvertently may have found a way to get to see part of three of the six finals involving North Jersey teams that is still friendly on the gas tank.
Speaking of which, I'll have to fill up on the way home tonight. There goes another $43.50.
But back to the tennis.

Since there was no room in Friday's paper and since it apparently hasn't shown up on northjersey.com, here is the story I wrote on Northern Highlands upsetting Ramapo on Thursday. I also included a little on Englewood's upset of Tenafly.
Keep in mind these are unedited, so forgive me if they aren't up to The Record standards.

The time has almost arrived. At about 6:30 tonight the tennis coaches will meet with Bergen County Coaches Association tennis rep Todd Meyer, the athletic director at Ramapo, to determine how the tournament will be seeded.
There are many opinions on this subject and a few suggestions that are interesting. I'm not sure there is a perfect solution, but I'm curious to see what they come up with.

Just wanted to revisit the big win by Edgar Shanoyan of Pascack Hills on Monday. Shanoyan defeated Luke Granger of Northern Highlands, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6 (13-11).
Granger won the Bergen County Group 3-4 title and Bergen all-groups title last year. Shanoyan was runner-up in Bergen Group 1-2.

Just spoke with Fair Lawn coach Matt Markman on the phone and I'm eagerly awaiting Saturday's Tri-County tournament at Demarest.
Representing Bergen County will be Fair Lawn, Demarest and Old Tappan. For Middlesex County it will be South Brunswick, East Brunswick and JP Stevens and for Morris - Montville, Chatham and Randolph.
Due to a few omissions, here are the final girls basketball stats again. Feel free to add any others that may be missing.
Trenton 12-6 over Pascack Valley end of 1st quarter. Dominique Butler with 7 of Trenton's 12 and Rebecca Lynch with 5 of PV's 6.
Trenton leads PV, 25-15, at halftime. Lynch is having a fantastic game, scoring 14 of the Indians' 15 points.
Trenton, however, is dominating Valley inside with blocked shots. Sara Ely alone has had five shots blocked.
Butler has 9 points for the Tornadoes and Tracey Parsons and Alexis Sweet each have 5. Trenton lead by as much as 19-6 but Lynch's 17-footer just before the buzzer cut the lead to 10.
Lynch has two more baskets and is up to 18. Trenton leads 25-19 with 7 minutes left in the 3rd.
Ely has come alive. She scored 6 points in the third quarter as Valley has pulled within 7. Trenton leads 35-28 at the end of three.
Ely hits her third 3-pointer and follows with another field goal as Valley ties the score, 39-39. Alexis Sweet answers for Trenton and Trenton leads 41-39 with 2:40 remaining.
Lynch has 21 for PV and Ely is up to 15.
Sweet scores again and Trenton has possession. Trenton leads PV, 43-39, with 1:02 remaining.
Trenton wins, 47-39.
The Jambo may be over and most of the lights are off. But Greg Mattura has found a basketball. I feel for the staff at FDU.
Mark Czerwinski and Record photog Tyson Trish have joined the fun. Mark's not bad for an outdoorsman. Tyson shoots better with the camera, but he can hold his own.

What a game! I think the best of the tourney so far. I really admire the way Hills attacked IHA and I have to give IHA credit for finishing the job.
