TAYLOR CIALI dominates Hobart College Scrimmage
Friday, August 29, 2008
Following a very long year of recovery from an ACL tear, TAYLOR CIALI came back with a vengeance, all be it - against his own team.
CIALI returned to HOBART COLLEGE in upstate New York, to prove that he was not only ready to roll, but that he was prepared to dominate.
TAYLOR ran a 4.8 40, 4.37 Pro Agility Shuttle and finished ALL his 110's in less than 14 seconds.
Today, in HOBART'S Intrasquad scrimmage to signify the completion of preseason camp, CIALI single handedly altered the 1st Team Offense's ability to move the ball tallying 12 tackles, forcing a fumble, recovering another and intercepted a pass.
CIALI, although behind a 5th year senior at middle linebacker, looks to see plenty of action this Fall!
Congratulations to TAYLOR! ALL his hard work this Summer is paying off - and he is Fueled with GE!

=== A - Final ===
Finish Name Age
7 Ravettine, Bryeanne 17
Cougar Aquatic
Prelims Finals Points
26.34 26.40 11.5
What does ALL this mean? While the NATION'S BEST were competing in Beijing in the Olympics, the Junior Nationals were taking place in Minneapolis last week.
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.

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.

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.

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!
