Picture worth 1,000 words when a senior plays in her final game. Coaching high school kids means enduring their pain just as much as celebrating their victories. End the season as undefeated league champs, but came up short in state playoffs. Proud of 💙Old Tappan basketball 💛

Former NV Old Tappan baseball and Rutgers baseball pitcher John O’Reilly had a blazing August at Triple-A Indianapolis (Pirates). John pitched to a 0.66 ERA, holding batters to a sub-.150 avg. and a whip of 0.59 (‼️). Keep it up, John! Congrats coach Byron

OT basketball ends it’s season on a loss to Sparta in the semis. Thanks to everyone for the support and especially the 6 seniors for their commitment: Melissa Brennan, Natalie Carril, Kyra Chrenko, Marin DeGennaro, Sophia Wagner, & Mackenzie Ward.
NVOT Basketball shows their support for Breast Cancer warriors like me with a pink out, and as promised, a hell of a great game. Couldn’t ask for better teammates for my girls. My gratitude is endless to these players, their families and coaches.

I had emergency spinal surgery 11/30 to remove 3 more discs L2,L3L4, double spinal fusion at those levels, and also reopening L4L5S1 to fuse that previous fusion to the new one. Twitter friends from far & wide, please pray that I get full feeling and function back in left leg. CM
Proud of Old Tappan baseball and Coach Tim Byron for an excellent season-league champs and county champs! Thanks for inviting me along for the ride in your dugout. Best of luck to the seniors, and looking forward to next season already.

I was on a networking zoom today with teen counselors from Canada, Buffalo, Florida, & Alabama, and one said something that really resonated with me. Even if you've heard some variation, I still wanted to share it. "Teens don't care what you know until they know that you care."
Although the NVOT boys soccer season has come to an end, I am proud to be a fan of this program run by Coach Torrie. He’s what’s good and right in high school sports coaching. Congratulations on a great season and best of luck to the senior lads.

These 2 coaches right here (Laela Brock and Maia Levenshus) are about as classy as they come. The greatest compliment I can give is “I would want my niece to play for them” and it rings true. They presented me with flowers on senior night simply for announcing their games. Class.
Last night at the YMCA awards, I was in awe of how many of my colleagues, former students, & opponents were rightfully honored. Congratulations Jack Renaghan & JC Baratta, former NVOT student athletes, Gerry Beatty retired NVOT teacher,
