Andy Romans Pulls in Preseason All-America Honors

Aug. 22, 2008

EASTON, Pa. - The reigning Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year and Preseason Defensive Player of the Year, senior linebacker Andy Romans (Allendale, N.J./St. Joseph Regional) was selected to The Sports Network NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision Preseason All-America team.

The History major received First-Team All-Patriot League honors the past two seasons during which he led the Leopards in tackles per game. He averaged 10.3 tackles per game for 113 during the 2007 campaign. The 2008 co-captain made 12.5 tackles for loss last year, including three sacks and forced three fumbles while recovering three more.

He received the Hugh H. "Stoney" Jones '27 Award as the 2007 team MVP and looks to continue to lead the Lafayette defense. The 2007 Leopards were first in the nation in total defense (260.9 ypg), fourth in rushing defense (85.7 ypg), eighth in scoring defense (16.9 ppg) and 15th in pass efficiency defense (108.3).

The Leopards continue preseason camp through the weekend with classes beginning on Aug. 25. Lafayette opens the season at Marist on Sept. 6 at 6 p.m.

GE'S BRYEANNE RAVETTINE took home 7th in the Long Course - 50 FREESTYLE in the A-Final.

BRYEANNE, a senior for IHA in the Fall, was already being heavily recruited. This finish along with her Olympic Trial time, just made her mail carrier a much busier person.

Congratulations to BRYEANNE for reaching for the stars and continuing to improve when you think she is already at the top! Look out 2012 Olympics!

Are you READY for some football?

Spartans Testing - Saturday 8-09-08

For the second consecutive year, GOOD ENERGY had the pleasure of administering SPEED - AGILITY & CONDITIONING TESTING for the 7th & 8th grade Ramsey football players. The GE TEAM put Todd Picariello's Spartans through 1 hour PLUS of intense Athletic Testing during their first day back on the gridiron.

Pete Ohnegian, Good Energy owner, explained to the 30 athletes that the day of showing up for camp to "get in shape" was old news and that there are no more FAT, SLOW football players at any quality level of football.

Therefore, GOOD ENERGY'S testing which included the Pro-Agility Shuttle, 40 YD Dash, Broad Jump, Crab Sled Drive, Sit-Ups, Push-Ups and Conditioning Run would give the Coaching Staff a good indication of who showed up in shape and who will need a lot of work before they can learn any x's and o's.

GOOD ENERGY would like to thank the Ramsey Junior Football Association for the opportunity to give back to RJFA program by testing the Spartans and the GE Staff looks forward to watching ALL three levels compete at McFarren Field in the Fall.

GO GOOD ENERGY! TRAIN HARD & PLAY GREAT!

Lafayette linebacker impresses coaches

Friday, August 01, 2008

PATRIOT LEAGUE FOOTBALL. Romans preseason choice for top defensive player.

Lafayette senior linebacker Andy Romans was picked as the Patriot League's preseason Defensive Player of the Year in a poll of the league's head coaches and sports information directors.

Romans was the league's Defensive Player of the Year last season after recording 113 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. With Romans leading the way, Lafayette's defense finished in the top 10 nationally in scoring, rushing and total defense.

Holy Cross senior quarterback Dominic Randolph was named preseason offensive player of the year. Last season he completed 297-of-482 passes for 3,601 yards and 30 touchdowns. He was the league's offensive player of the year.

Fordham, coming off the first outright league title, is the choice to repeat as champion. Fordham received nine first place votes followed by Holy Cross, Colgate, Lafayette, Lehigh, Bucknell and Georgetown.

Fordham brings back eight starters on each side of the ball and has 57 letter winners returning. The Rams offense is led by quarterback John Skelton, running back Xavier Martin and wide receiver Asa Lucas. James Crockett, Matt Loucks and Isiejah Allen are the top returnees on defense.

Blake Costanzo making Noise for BUFFALO BILLS!

July 27, 2008

One week ago, Blake was participating in Good Energy's 3rd Annual Beach workout.

This past weekend he finished his first weekend in camp with the Bills and is already being singled out by the Bills coaching staff as a leader for their Special Teams this season.

As written on the Bills site:

"...Special teams underwent a lot of turnover in terms of their coverage teams losing a handful of key veteran performers. Ready to pick up the slack are Blake Costanzo, Justin Jenkins and John Wendling who excelled in new roles last season and now must lead the way for the younger players joining Bobby April's unit. "

Best of Luck to BLAKE this preseason and continue to watch our site to read more about his success for the Bills.

GO GOOD ENERGY! - Train Hard...Play Great.

KEG THROW - GE STYLE!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

A little "teaser" picture from the Beach Workout - shows ANDY ROMANS & WARREN ROARK in their Keg Throw Station.

We are not performing KEG THROWS for distance, but rather as many Empty Keg Throws as possible, with a partner - in a set time-frame.

Therefore, we are not only performing an explosive movement, but asking our BEACH Enthusiasts to perform their workout "efficiently", i.e. Perfect Practice = Better Performance.

200 Pictures were taken by local Action Sport's Photographer, Rob DeBrino. More Shots to follow.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

3rd ANNUAL BEACH WORKOUT!

8 WINNERS - but.....2 CHAMPS!

THE PRO & THE JOE!
(Blake Costanzo & Joey Marrafino)

In a display of Speed, Strength & Power, Blake & Joey were the "overall winners" of the 3rd Annual GE Beach Workout.

The GE BEACH WORKOUT is a grueling 2 circuits of 8 exercises along with 3 individual stations & the dreaded Tug Of War - combining ALL 4 elements of Speed-Strength-Power & Conditioning with the Sand being the equalizer!

Although much disputed, Blake & Joey came out on top with their Prowess in the SandBag Pick-ups, Obstacle Course & Wheel Drill. Many of the stations ended up in ties but there was no audible cameras at 6am to capture the trash talking.

The GE Staff thanks ALL 8 participants for their belief in GOOD ENERGY and their Hard Work during the 3rd Annual Beach Workout!

THANKS to: Dean Duchak, Andrew Durfee, Andy Romans, Warren Roark, Taylor Ciali, Andrew Sayler, Blake Costanzo & Joey Marrafino!

TRAIN HARD - PLAY GREAT! Summer 2008

3rd Annual Beach Workout!

....photos to follow, but we are ALL packed up!

We are so excited to share with our website viewers the 3rd Annual GE Beach Workout!

It's coming very soon and the participants are greatly anticipating the "how" and the "what" but already know the "when" and the "where."

EVERYONE knows "why!" Because they are in the BEST physical condition of their lives and they want to Compete ONE last time against each other, before they head out to their respective venues to play their own gridiron game!

GO GOOD ENERGY! TRAIN HARD & PLAY GREAT!

NOT TOO Big, Proud or Satisfied...

Buffalo Bills #54 - BLAKE COSTANZO

On Saturday morning @ 7am, Blake was part of the individualized training circuit in which 8 GE Athletes performed 7 circuits.

Blake is pictured performing the "Prone Acceleration Starts." Not only did he get up & sprint 5 YDS, but he changed directions, planted & sprinted another 10 to finish.

Each Athlete had 2:30 minutes to perform each circuit & were thoroughly challenged and gassed after ALL 7 circuits.

Good Job guys, and Keep on,....keeping on!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

SATURDAY - Speed & Agility

July 12, 2008

ANDREW SAYLER, Ramsey's 2008 Football Captain, taking a timeout during his Crab Sled Circuit - 35LBS for 30 YDS - - - 4X!

A little different twist for the GE Crew this morning...following the form run and dynamic warm-up...each Athlete had their OWN station.

2:30 Min - 7 Stations

LOTS OF HARD WORK!

ANDREW'S little break between Sled Drives will allow him NOT to be on the sideline at all this year as he will LEAD the Rams on both sides of the ball on the offensive and defensive line.

PERSONAL TRAINING at its Best! GO GE!

Wednesday Conditioning - 6am

"Eye in the Sky - Don't Lie!"

So,...

You hear that term ALL the time from Coaches regarding the practice or game film - "the eye in the sky, don't lie."

Not quite sure who sent the Hawk to our Conditioning Wednesday morning, but what he saw was a lot of HARD WORK put "in the tank" as the GE Crew logged 2 300 YD Shuttle Runs under 60 Seconds, 6 Striders the width of the Field & 2 Metabolic Patterns - 10 Plays Each - 1 For RBs & 1 For LBs.

GE Athlete's are Rolling this Summer...

Congrats to Brett Knief, committing to UNC for baseball today.

Back to Work......Girls!

July 7, 2008

Taking advantage of a break in the action, GE Newcomers - Jen Pash & Mackenzie Cobb take advantage of an H2O break during a grueling 5 Circuit Bootcamp workout. (Notice the gloves!)

Jen is going to be an incoming Freshman for IHA in the Fall. She will play both Soccer and Lacrosse for the Blue Eagles.

Mackenzie is a senior Captain for Ramsey's Soccer Team.

We look forward to following their success in soccer next fall and we KNOW that their Hard Work at GE will help them play better next season!

GO GOOD ENERGY & Keep working Hard Girl's!

Happy 4th of July!

7-03-08....getting the guns ready.

Fireworks started a little early @ GE....

...our Integrated Training Program worked out perfectly for the guys training ALL summer because their ARMS day turned out to be right before a long Holiday weekend.

Enjoy the rest, let your muscles grow,...and Monday we will be ready to Rock - N - Roll.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Already GE TOUGH...

Friday morning's TEST: Speed - Power & Strength

Having already conguered the "GE TOUGH" Bootcamp in the winter, BLAKE COSTANZO challenged himself and ANDY ROMANS in a Power Hour of Speed-Power & Strength.

Above BLAKE is pulling 310 pounds 12 YDS with a Tug of War rope. This was followed up with a 65 LB Sled Drive 20 YDS and 8 42" BOX JUMPS for time.

Both ANDY & BLAKE performed 5 Circuits of these three grueling exercises - to total 4 Quarters & Overtime. Funny how many people assumer "Circuit Training" is soft,...but not GE Style!

GE Clients Train Hard & Play Great!

Summer is 1/2 Over....

JUNE 21, 2008

On MOST people's calendars,...Summer started today - June 21st.

But at GE, we have been in Full Training Mode since the beginning of May - preparing our College/Pro and High School Fall Athlete's for the rigors of training camp.

Saturday was another productive session beginning with the Agility Ladder, Dynamic Warm-Up, Form Run, 4 Stations of Cone & Agility drills finishing with Flying 80's and the 35 second rest you see the Athlete's "enjoying" in the picture.

We have set the bar high this Summer and our Athlete's are training their butts off to have the best GE FALL in 5 years!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

GE ALL Over the Place!

Sunday - June 1, 2008

GE is Rolling into June with Highlights Galore!

Pictured is Don Bosco Prep left fielder BRETT KNIEF #20, known for his Signal Calling for the Ironmen in the Fall. Add a Bergen County Baseball MVP Award to his already FULL trophy case alongside his 1st Team All-State accolades from his #3 Nationally Ranked Football squad.

The Ironmen overcame a 5 run deficit thanks to Brett's 3-Run Homer to Right Center to ignite the potent attack and keep their unblemished record at 31-0.

Not to be overshadowed was #14 seeded Mahwah's defeat of Ramsey in 8 innings at Ponchak Field in Ramsey. The T-Birds won in dramatic fashion thanks to a bunt single by Anthony D'Allessandro in the top of the 8th and his catch sealed the deal for the T-Birds in the bottom of the inning.

Also on Friday, Mikey Giordano (current Athlete of the Month)continued to lead the Ridgewood Maroons' Lax offensive attack in their 12-7 State Sectional Championship victory on Friday as he tallied 2 goals and 2 assists.

Last but not least this past weekend was Jordan Mistretta's throw of 51'1" in the Shot Put to put him in 7th place in the State Boy's Group B Division for Ramsey down in Egg Harbor, NJ.

Congratulations GE Athlete's! Best of Luck as you continue to excel in the State Playoffs!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Mahwah has averaged a handful of wins the past few years, but under the guidance of Football Coach, Jeff Remo and PBI Owner - Doug Cinella, have the TBIRDS believing and winning their way to the State Finals.

MIKEY GIORDANO awaits his COMING OUT PARTY for the RIDGEWOOD MAROONS Lax team while seniors Chris Pederson and Kevin Vaughn take all the headlines and accolades. MIKEY and the Maroons play in the State Semi-Finals tomorrow at RIDGE and we look forward to more highlights from MIKEY to tell in the near future.

BEST OF LUCK to our Track Athletes who will compete at EGG HARBOR this weekend, including JORDAN MISTRETTA and KATIE NESTOR.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Who will BE THE BEST this weekend?

Jordan Mistretta started off the weekend with his 3rd Place in the Group II Sectional Shot Put with a PR of 52'3 - winning the opportunity to compete in the State Meet of Champions next Saturday!

Could it be BRITTANY BAIUNCO - Bergen County Softball Championship?

BRETT KNIEF - Bergen County Baseball Tournament?

BRYEANNE RAVETTINE - going for Olympic Trial times in the pool this weekend @ Rutger's?

MIKEY GIORDANO - State Lacrosse Game?

ANTHONY D'ALESSANDRO - current Athlete of the Month and MAHWAH'S Cinderella story season and their play in the Group II States?

KRISSI GORSUCH - State Non-Public Softball Tournament?

Or our Soccer crew...CASEY GALLAGHER, OLIVIA LICATA, ALEX LICATA, NICKY MAGHENZANI, CATHY JACOBS, MACKENZIE COBB?

You get it folks? WE ARE COMPETING THIS WEEKEND, Big Time!! Don't think it will be "a fluke or Striper"...that we have PLENTY of highlights this weekend!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

'Green Tsunami' Wins Morris County Baseball Title

Saturday 5-18-08

Congratulations to Bruce Shatel, Head Coach for Delbarton Baseball & close friend of GE owner Pete Ohnegian.

Coach Shatel and the eighth-seeded Green Wave Varsity Baseball came out on top in the Morris County Tournament finals on Saturday, May 17. Pitcher Harry Marino '08 threw a three-hitter against Hanover Park, earning a 9-0 shut out, and was named tournament MVP.

This is the first Wave MCT baseball crown since 1987, and an outstanding achievement for coach Bruce Shatel in his first year of coaching Delbarton baseball -- even more impressive coming on the heels of Shatel's coaching the state champion 2008 Green Wave hockey team.

"I like to tell the kids that we're not the Green Wave any more, we're the Green Tsunami," commented Shatel after the team defeated two tough opponents, Morristown Beard and Randolph High School, on its way to the county title. The win exemplifies Delbarton's motto "Succisa Virescit", cut down to grow back stronger. In October the team lost their beloved coach Brian Fleury and dedicated their 2008 season to his memory. Brian was there in spirit and his son Timmy Fleury, the team's official bat boy, was suited up for Saturday's game.

Congratulations to Green Wave Baseball and their proud coaches for an outstanding Morris County Tournament run, and a memorable night at Horseshoe Lake Park.

Somewhere Brian is smiling.

Congratulations to JOHN KLEINERT # 13

Williams College Lacrosse

JOHN KLEINERT was a starting defensive long stick for the Williams College Ephs who won the NESCAC conference defeating Bowdoin College.

The Ephs eventually lost in the 2nd Round of the Division III Playoffs to the Ithaca Blue Bombers, but we are proud of John who started playing lacrosse as a junior at Ramapo H.S. and is now a standout for the Ephs!

Congratulations, John - You are still FUELED by GE!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

NUC Saturday: Fab Five Prospects

May 17, 2008

The Saturday morning session of the National Underclassmen Combine attracted many athletes who will make the mailing lists of major college recruiters over the next year. After watching the tests, drills and one-on-ones, we looked into our crystal ball to see which ones might be getting the heaviest attention.


1. James Kittredge, DL, Don Bosco: What a difference a year makes. As a freshman, Kittredge was an imposing figure, but could never get it going during the one-on-ones. This year, Kittredge went around - and through - the offensive linemen en route to the DL MVP award.

The 6-foot-4, 230 pound DT wasn't blazing in the tests but seemed to be the fastest and most powerful athlete where it counted, in the one-on-ones. An All League performer in 2007, Kittredge has already proven his ability in New Jersey's top league.

CONGRATULATIONS, JAMES!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Ramapo advances - BAIUNCO getting STRONGER!!

Sunday, May 18, 2008

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP — Amanda Schellaci got the game ball, Brittany Baiunco got the assist and second base got a pat on top from Ramapo coach Leslie Stephen.

Schellaci's RBI single in the ninth caromed off second base, scoring Emily Brown to send the Green Raiders past Immaculate Heart, 1-0, Saturday and into their fourth straight Bergen
Heart, 1-0, Saturday and into their fourth straight Bergen County softball tournament final.

The Green Raiders will face Saddle Brook in today's 2 o'clock final at Ramapo College in Mahwah, but if field conditions are unplayable, the game will be moved to IHA.

Wet conditions at Ramapo College shifted the semifinals to IHA as the Blue Eagles finally got to face their nemesis at home after playing them twice at Ramapo High School in the semifinals the past three years.

The Blue Eagles' potent offense never could get anything going consistently against Ramapo senior pitcher Brittany Baiunco, who struck out 19 while giving up one hit, in another dominating performance.

"She got every big out she had to get today," said Stephen. "She got out of every tight spot. I am so happy for her. She got better as the game went on."

The game featured an incredible diving catch by IHA right fielder Kaitlyn McGillcuddy to rob Baiunco of a sure extra-base hit in the fourth, plus a fantastic over-the-shoulder grab by Ramapo first baseman Jessica Brennan in the eighth.

The Green Raiders (20-5) have the chance today to become the first team in tournament history to win three straight County titles.

"I am friendly with some of the kids on Saddle Brook," said Baiunco. "I have so much respect for what we could do and I think as a team we are so psyched and ready. We won't let it pass us by."

5-17-2008 SATURDAY @ GE!

"No Lolli-Gaggers"

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE....in the Sport's World talking about "Give 110%"...."Go Hard or Go Home!"....."Don't be Last!"...."Fight to the Finish!

At Good Energy we don't believe that you can give more than 100%...but we DO want you to train hard....we DON'T want you to be last,...and we WILL make you finish! That's what makes us better than our competition and U better on the playing field.

Saturday we had a couple "lolli-gaggers"....but I will have you know,..even though they will go nameless on the site, they did "Boot & Rally", i.e. Finished their workout following their UPSET STOMACH.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Train Hard @ GE and Play Great!

NFL PRO & Patriot League Player of the Year....

Right on his tail is Andy Romans, Lafayette College Captain (DPOY-Patriot League) performing the 8 box jumps immediately following the squat.

It's GREAT to have GE amped up in the morning!

The atmosphere at the facility has been elevated thanks to the presence of "Rare Breeds" and the work ethic of College & Pro Athlete's GOING FOR IT!

TRAIN HARD & PLAY GREAT!

GO Good Energy!

WELCOME HOME COLLEGE ATHLETES!

Dean Duchak, Georgetown Hoyas Football

We are excited to commence our Summer Program & hope to shake some trees to find some hungry College Athlete's who are receptive to GE!

Dean Duchak is back from finals @ Georgetown and has already started his GE regiment prior to his Summer internship in Finance.

We are prepared this Summer for our best training yet and we will include Nutrition, Strength, Speed & Flexibility in our `08 Summer Program.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Recognizing a Dominant Performance!

Monday - May 12, 2008

Yesterday the Ridgewood Maroons Boy's Lacrosse team handed a stout Summit an 8-6 defeat rebounding from an emotional loss to nationally ranked West Islip, Long Island 8-7 on Saturday. (Ridgewood Lacrosse Day and the featured High School lacrosse game on MSG)

The Bergen Record missed the opportunity this morning to recognize "moments of brilliance" from junior, Mikey Giordano who single handedly dominated Summit with a 4 goal and 1 assist performance in route to the Maroons victory.

We are pleased that Mikey continues to roll on a stacked Maroons lacrosse team that has a couple of seniors headed to Division 1 lacrosse programs next fall.

Way to Go Mikey - Keep walking the walk!

EYE ON THE PRIZE!

Ramapo's BRITTANY BAIUNCO pitches `Po into Semi's!

RAMAPO beat Paramus today in the Bergen County Softball Tournament 4-0.

GE'S Rob DeBrino was there and shot this "Pic of the Day" of Britt dominating the Paramus Spartans.

Congratulations BRITTANY and to ALL the GE standouts who starred this week whether it was League Track Meets, Baseball, Lacrosse or COMBINES!

ROCK - N - ROLL GE!! You know who you ARE!

RIDGEWOOD LACROSSE ON A ROLL!

Boy's & Girl's Teams are Peaking at the Right time...

BRITTANY BAIUNCO....back in her Groove!

Saturday - May 3, 2008

Although we only have her pictured batting in our GE Archives, BRITTANY BAIUNCO is back and Ready to Roll in the County's & States as she pitched a 5 Inning - "MERCY RULE" No-Hitter vs. Old Tappan on Friday, 10-0.

Britt has been bitten by some "Not so Good Energy" as she has had some dominating pitching performances foiled by "wild pitches" and late inning heroics in several of her previous starts.

She is now over .500 at 4-3 and we hope her DOMINANCE will continue Sunday in the County's vs. Ramsey-Waldwick winner @ Indian Hills - 3pm. Ramapo is the two time repeat Bergen County Champion and looks to take their third title...especially since Britt is back to her "pre-surgery" form.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

SUMMER 2008 - STRENGTH - SPEED & POWER...

GE caught some of the action at the TWINBORO RELAYS @ Ramsey H.S. on Saturday.

Pictured is Lindsay Mulford, a Ramsey thrower who helped her novice Discus team place 3rd along with the top prize in the javelin.

A two sport athlete (tennis 1st Singles in the Fall), Lindsay has not competed to "her own" expectations yet this Spring, but we hope Saturday's performance will lift her to greater throws and accomplishments in the latter stages of her season for the Rams.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

The BEST get Better!

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

BLAKE came home from the Buffalo Bills' "OTA'S" to crank out the Prowler workout.

The GE Lax SHOWDOWN!

April 16, 2008

Okay so Ramapo @ Ridgewood was definitely David vs. Goliath, but following two tough losses and still missing a key defender the Maroons may have been primed for an upset.

There was NO upset, and in fact...after GE left following the 1st Quarter and a marginal 4-1 advantage, the Maroons dominated the Green Raiders to the tune of a 19-4 victory.

However, it was such a "WINNING DAY" for GE to watch two clients compete against each other. Pictured is Junior midfielder Ryan Durfee #35 for Ramapo and not pictured is Ridgewood's goal hawk, #19 Mikey Giordano, who waited until GE left the field before he netted 3 goals and added two assists to his impressive early `08 numbers.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

THE "TRUE" MEANING OF ATTACK!

Ridgewood's Mikey Giordano - 2 Games - 10 GOALS!

Ridgewood has many talented Seniors on this year's Varsity Lacrosse team. However, after the first two lopsided victories against Randolph & The Peddie School, a NEW star has appeared in Junior Mikey Giordano.

Giordano has paced the Maroons with 5 goals in each of the first two games and tallied 2 assists against Randolph to go with the 5 spot. Mikey worked his tail off at GE along with developing his Lax skills ALL Off-Season and is experiencing immediate Results!

Ride the Streak - Mikey, and Take Notice Lacrosse folks! Mikey G. is for real. Hands Down our Athlete of the Week!!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

LIVE SPRING ACTION IS HERE!

Sammy Giordano - Starts Varsity as a Freshman!

GE drove down the street on Tuesday to watch three of our girls play lacrosse against Montclair in their opening day game!

Pictured is Freshman SAMMY GIORDANO who started Varsity and did not disappoint as she held her own for the Maroons who made easy work of Montclair 11-3.

Sammy Cermack & Sarah Daly also played well for the Maroons and we look forward to catching more of their action this Spring!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

FINAL "TUNE UP" for SPRING this Weekend!

March 28-March 30 2008

Ranked number 1 in their bracket, the Ramsey Hockey team did not disappoint the Ram Faithful with a 4-1 hard fought victory against Cranford on Sunday night in the Mennen Arena.

The first period ended scoreless but was quickly made 1-0 when Mike Gwon skated around the entire Cranford team to put the Rams up 1-0.

Ramsey had a two goal lead when they were called for a questionable penalty and then to make matters worse, a "phantom" goal was called by the review of the referees and the red light attendant on that power play.

The Rams did not let down although their lead was trimmed to 2-1 at the end of the 2nd period. They killed several unfortunate Cranford power plays and as always, Matt Braun was steady in goal for the Rams. Mike Gwon finished the scoring with a power play goal toward the end of the third which followed a great shot from the point by Tyler Bishop.

Congratulations Rams & Best of Luck in the semifinals at the end of this week.

Special thanks to Coach Bob Toy & his staff for making GE feel such a part of this season and playoff run and we look forward to training the Rams after they reaching HIGHER Horizons! Note Coach & his staff in the picture dressed in their standard game attire!

GO GOOD ENERGY!

THINGS LOOKING UP FOR BLAKE COSTANZO

Special Teams Could Take Free Agent Hit

Bobby April 's special teams units have been special the past few years. Armed with seasoned veterans the Bills special teams coordinator has
had a strong core to lead his different units on the playing field, in practice and in the meeting rooms.

But with free agency looming at the end of the month Buffalo's special teams core that has enjoyed so much success could be stripped of some key components. Set to become unrestricted free agents on Feb. 29 are Sam Aiken , Mario Haggan , Ryan Neufeld and Josh Stamer . All four came to the Bills in 2003 and for the past five seasons they have been vital cogs in Bobby April's special teams wheel. But they all know the likelihood of all of them continuing their careers with the Bills is not good.

"We all know how free agency goes and they'll probably not be able to retain us all," said Stamer. "I look at it as a blessing to be with these guys for so long. There's really nothing to worry about because there's not much control you have over it. You wait and see what happens."

Filling the void
If in fact the Bills lose a majority of this special teams core to free agency it is encouraging to know that there are some younger specialists emerging on Buffalo's roster.
Those discoveries were borne out of the team's injury ravaged roster, which robbed April of a lot of his special teams regulars who had to play on offense or defense.

"It was unbelievable this past year. I've never seen anything like this," said April. "The positive is we found out about guys like John Wendling , Justin Jenkins and Blake Costanzo . Those guys made a lot of plays. We had guys that spelled guys at times and played a little bit, like Dwayne Wright and others. We found guys like Tim Massaquoi . Those kinds of guys may have to be key players."

Good Energy Welcomes Bryeanne Ravettini!

IHA Swimmer Chooses GE for Performance Training!

Two weeks ago, Bryeanne Ravettini received her 2nd Bergen Record Athlete of the Week Honor and she is just a junior!

Instead of relaxing prior to her Swimming Championships, Bryeanne reached out to Good Energy and asked to "dive" into Strength & Conditioning prior to her MOST Competitive Swimming events of the Year!

We are thrilled that Bryeanne has chosen GE and we look forward to introducing her to resistance & core training during her Peak season.

Bryeanne will be training "Dryland - Cross-Training" at GE 2x/week & we look forward to reporting her progress as she competes in several Championship Meets in the next few weeks.

Ramsey Varsity Hockey Ties Mahwah 3-3

Monday - January 21, 2008

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day the Rams took on a sub-par Mahwah team and narrowly came up with a 3-3 tie as Mike Gwon single handedly helped keep the game out of the loss column with his aggressive rush from the left point and wrap-around goal with just over 1:30 left in the 3rd period.

The crosstown rival Thunderbirds must have been focused from their day off from school, because they played the Rams much better than their record would indicate and held the Rams away from their goalie for much of the game.

GE was glad to see the 12-2-3 Ramsey Varsity Hockey compete following their hard work in our Team Training in the Summer and Fall!

Best of luck the rest of the way in BOTH the League Tournament and States and we hope to see more of the Live Action!

Go GOOD ENERGY!

Buffalo Bills ink Blake Costanzo to Practice Squad

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

With receiver Justin Jenkins and tight end Derek Schouman getting called up to the 53-man roster late last week, two open spots were created on Buffalo's eight-man practice squad. Buffalo filled those holes with another receiver and a linebacker.

The Bills signed receiver Felton Huggins, who spent this past summer with the club in training camp before being released on Aug. 28. The 6'2" 186-pound wideout played his college football at Southeastern Louisiana and also played in the now defunct NFL Europa.

Buffalo's other practice squad signee is linebacker Blake Costanzo who spent this past preseason with the New York Jets. Originally an undrafted free agent signee with New York in 2006, the 6'2" 235-pound linebacker also played in NFL Europa this past spring.

Playing for the Rhein Fire Costanzo earned All-NFL Europa League team honors. He played his college ball at Lafayette College.

Congratulations, BLAKE! Your determination to play at the highest level has been rewarded!

JAMES earned his first start for the IRONMEN this past Friday night in which DON BOSCO shutout Ridgewood, 28-0.

Bragging Rights for ONE Year!

Pictured are High School Teammates and GE Partners, Dean Duchak #17 Blue(Georgetown University) and opposite the line of scrimmage is Andy Romans #17 White (Lafayette College).

Lafayette beat Georgetown 28-7 in D.C. It was a Patriot League matchup that was a battle of wills in an intense heat. Lafayette racked up nearly 350 yards against the Hoyas and Romans collected 11 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Dean played running back for the Hoyas, but there were no collisions between the two friends,...so we must wait one more year!

Go GOOD ENERGY!

GOOD LUCK TO GE FALL ATHLETE'S!

Our TRAINING is based on YOUR PERFORMANCE & RESULTS!

Romans Empire!

from The Morning Call - Allentown, PA

Andy Romans sharing some of his Highlights with former teammate and Head Sideline Cheerleader and mentor, Blake Costanzo.

Romans empire: Junior linebacker Andy Romans was in one of those zones early in the game during a brilliant sequence in which he registered 1.5 sacks, recovered a fumble, made four tackles and nearly came up with an interception.

''I've said many times I catch myself in practice just kind of watching him,'' Head Coach Frank Tavani said. ''He just loves the game. He flies around. He makes all kinds of plays. I'm just glad he's playing for us and we're not having to coach against him.''

Romans was pleased with the way Lafayette turned Marist away in the red zone after a bad snap on a punt had put the Red Foxes in business on their first possession in a scoreless game.

''Since I've been here, that's kind of how our defense has always been,'' he said. ''We give a little bit but then when they get down in the red zone we stop them.

''That was huge for us when they missed that field goal. It boosted our confidence. From there on we played really well.''

''It was a good start to the year. Definitely,'' Romans said. ''I felt like our defense was flying around. We can enjoy this for a few more hours, next week we have Georgetown. That's a league game, that much more important and that's where our focus has to go. We can't get too caught up in our season opener. This one is in the books. It's done. It's over. We have to look forward to our next opponent.''

Romans had only one regret.

''Thinking back, I wish I had picked up that fumble and started running with it,'' he said. ''I wanted to be smart, get on the ball and give us great field position.''

- ANDY ROMANS Leads the Way Opening Weekend -

GOOD ENERGY RESULTS - - Saturday - September 1, 2007

ANDY ROMANS #17, Junior LB and Pre-Season Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, embracing BLAKE COSTANZO prior to Lafayette's impressive 49-10 drubbing of Marist College.

ANDY did not disappoint the crowd of 10,000+ as he recorded 4 tackles, 1 sack and 1 fumble recovery in route to the Leopards 42-3 halftime lead. His health is much more valued by the team then padding his stats, as he was taken out of the game shortly into the 3rd Quarter.

BLAKE was on the sidelines Saturday night despite being released today as a final cut for the NEW YORK JETS. He hopes to hear within the next 24 hours whether he is placed on the practice squad or picked up by another team...we will keep you posted.

GO GOOD ENERGY!

Special thanks to Rob DeBrino, Andy Romans and Kate Giordano for working OT to make GE the Best Personal Training & Performance Center around.

D. Speed & Conditioning program grows to two sessions - College & High School and we have to limit each program to 10 in order to critique proper running mechanics and movement patterns. Our Athlete's prove their Commitment and Dedication by once again arriving at our S&C at 6 or 7am!

What's to come at GE in the near future:

E. We will not miss a BEAT following a brief Summer hiatus, we will be full speed ahead with our In-Season Fall clients and our Pre-Season winter clients.

NH TEAM TRAINING hits the BEACH for the Finale!

Wednesday - August 15, 2007 - 7AM

GOOD ENERGY took the NH FOOTBALL TEAM TRAINING to Crestwood Lake in Allendale to perform their last TEAM TRAINING Conditioning workout before 2-A-Days start on Saturday.

Despite this week being their last time off before the long haul and a 7am start, we were pleased with the turnout, and the crew was not disappointed with our TOUGH but FUN conditioning workout.

NORTHERN HIGHLANDS is READY for their 2007-08 campaign under the direction of Coach Chris Locurto, and we look forward to cheering on their Success on the gridiron this FALL & Winter in the State Playoffs!

Go GOOD ENERGY!

The GIFT of Good Energy to the RAMSEY SPARTANS!

Saturday - August 11, 2007

One year ago, Good Energy's owner Pete Ohnegian was the "guest Speaker" for the Ramsey Junior Football Pep Rally prior to the 2006 Season. Pete tried to convey to each youngster that DREAMS do come true, and that if you work hard enough, and want to play PRO football it CAN happen!

GOOD ENERGY took their support of the Ramsey Junior Football program one step further when Todd Picariello, the new Spartans Head Coach(7th & 8th Grade) came to Pete to ask if he would give him some ideas regarding training and conditioning.

On Saturday, the Good Energy ideas were put into motion as the Spartans were put through 6 rigorous Testing stations including a 45LB Sled Pull, 5-10-5 Pro Agility Shuttle, 40YD Dash, Timed Push-ups, Broad Jump and Distance Run.

It was a blast watching the 41 1st Day Spartans COMPETE,...and it was a 1st for the Junior Football program to perform any type of testing. We thank Todd and his staff for being open to this type of work generally starting at the next level and we wish him the best of Luck this Fall.

Coach Picariello is already ahead of the game by mentally preparing his team to COMPETE on a day-to-day basis starting with this Surprise - 1st Day of Testing!

We thank Coach and Staff for allowing the GE Staff to give back to their roots and introduce these 7th & 8th Graders to Strength & Conditioning Testing for the first time!

Go Good Energy and Thanks to ALL the Spartans for TRYING THEIR BEST!

NH TEAM TRAINING - - - TRAINS AT GOOD ENERGY!

Wednesday - August 8th, 2007

Following their last official PRE-SEASON practice, GE invited the participants in the NH TEAM TRAINING to perform a STRENGTH TRAINING POWER HOUR @ GOOD ENERGY in the 70 degree gym instead of the HOT & HUMIDITY.

The guys were open to our 3 CIRCUIT program consisting of Lower Body, Upper Body & ARMS! We chose exercises that we often use in our Personal Training programs and that are seldom used during Team Training programs.

Our workout was well-received and we THANK the Highlanders who had enough ENERGY to make it to 260 W. Crescent following their last Team workout before 2-A-Days!

The NH TEAM TRAINING still has one more workout which will be performed next Wednesday at an undisclosed time and location....stay tuned!

GO GOOD ENERGY!
