Quickly, before the Aces’ domain becomes Football Central for the weekend, a few quick notes on the sports that Taglines covers:
1.) All-North Jersey gymnastics is currently scheduled to appear in The Record this Tuesday, Dec. 10. Good job by Darren and/or JJ tweeting the full schedule, except… they forgot to mention field hockey and gymnastics will BOTH run on Tuesday. And they’re both veterans of the gymnastics beat! That clearly deserves a mention on “C’mon Man” before Monday Night Football (or at least here on Varsity Aces).
2.) Got an email from Bergen Catholic boys volleyball coach Mike DeCastro that he is stepping down from the position. Still have to call and confirm/get more details, but that would leave an opening for a team that made some big strides in his four seasons on the job and has some good young talent coming back.
3.) Speaking of the Crusaders, they will host their 3rd annual season-opening bowling tournament Saturday at Bowler City in Hackensack. It is now known as the Tom Irwin Memorial Classic in honor of their late, longtime head coach and will begin a 2 p.m. due to SATs. Again, lots of football coverage filling the paper this weekend, but we’ll make every effort to get some results up here on Varsity Aces, since there are fewer space restrictions in the blogosphere.
Good luck to all the North Jersey teams going for gridiron glory at MetLife Stadium this weekend. Just try to leave some mojo in the building for the Jets on Sunday…
