Week 1: THE RIVALRY


Well... It's time for THE RIVALRY!!! And its only WEEK ONE!!!!!

It sure has been weird this week. Usually there is a buildup for this game. Usually there is all kind of pressure and fun and commraderie leading up to this game. But lets face it. Its Week ONE!!!

The Blue Devils have been in school just three days. The Vikes don't have class until Tuesday!

So here we are. The most important game of the season, and its in the first week.

This is the first time that Old Forge and Riverside will open the season facing each other. It is not the first time the game will be played during the summer. The game has been played in September before. But it has to be at least 50 years since that has happened.

The Vikes have won 4 of 5, including last season's 42-14 defeat in Old Forge. The game is in Taylor tonight, and Riverside is ranked No. 2 in the state by the Patriot News in Class 1A. That's right. The Vikes and Blue Devils could also meet in the D2 playoffs this season.

But before we get to November, let's take care of August.

Riverside features the best running back in the area in Joe Klebon. Klebon, a senior, is within the 4,000 yard mark in rushing yards and should eclipse that total by Week 7. Klebon is a combination back in that he can run you over but he can also run around you. Some of the cuts he made last season were truly unbelievable.

Klebon is not the Vikes sole weapon though. Matt Talerico is someone who could destroy the competition this season. If teams concentrate on stopping Klebon, Talerico will have a party with opposing defenses. The senior slotback/receiver is nasty fast. He is what Lee Corso would call a burner. Riverside will use him on screen plays to get him in the open space and let him do his work.

The Vikes also have quarterback Jay Velehoski and tight end Kevin Sochovka as part of an offensive arsenal that may go unmatched this season. Velehoski is a lefty QB that can fling it and can also run it while Sochovka is a brutal blocker and even a better pass catcher.

The Blue Devils sure will have their handsful on defense, but that's how Mike Scuback's group likes to be challenged.

Anthony Pero and Jon Kaville led the Big Blue Wrecking Crew from their linebacker positions. Pero led Old Forge with 140 tackles last season and the duo put some big hits on their counterparts up the road causing some drops in the passing game and also in the running game.

The ILB duo will line up behind behemoth defensive tackle Kyle Holland and the athletic Mark Zambetti, and ends Ed Dolinish and AJ Grasso as they try to stop the vaunted RV rushing attack.

The secondary will also have their work cut out for them with the Vikes likely to toss the pigskin under the direction of former Viking and current coach Harry Armstrong. But seniors Dustin Slack and Bobby Vieira and junior Brian Morris are all ready to do their part.

Morris gets the call dotting the I-formation in the running game and burst onto the OF-RV scene with a 70-yard TD in the first quarter last season as he rushed for 134 yards on the night. Kaville is the lead blocker at FB and can also run and catch the ball out of the backfield.

Corey Hodick will hand the ball to Morris from the QB position, and will also look to pick apart a young RV pass defense with tosses to Gabe Wilson, Vieira and Slack.

My prediction for this game is one of an upset. I like the Blue Devils 29-27 with Matt Rava kicking the game-winner from 33 yards out. It will not be an easy game to win, and the Blue Devils have to do all the right things to win. But I think the Vikes could be looking past Old Forge, and will not be as sharp as they will by the time midseason rolls around.

You can call me Ray...

We know him as RJ. But it looks like the Ol' Ball Coach knows him as Ray.

Old Forge native and former Blue Devil Ray "RJ" Rychleski is now the special teams coordinator/tight ends coach at the University of South Carolina under head coach Steve Spurrier.

And as I watch the SC-NC State game, Rychleski has been shown on the screen, and was just mentioned by Chris Fowler as the Cocks made a big play on a punt coverage.

Good Luck to RJ this year. Go Cocks!!!

It's Time!!!!



Last season they were thrown into the fire.
Junior Ed Dolinish and sophomores AJ Grasso, Kyle Holland and Mark Zambetti were first-year varsity starters when the Blue Devils opened its season at home in a loss to Dunmore. The foursome replaced eight years of experience in the trenches lost from the 2006 District 2 Class 1A title team. The pressure to continue Old Forge’s success on the gridiron fell squarely on their shoulders.
Lucky they had big shoulders.
No-names when the season began, Dolinish, Grasso, Holland and Zambetti made names for themselves in a season where the Blue Devils went 7-4, totaled over 2,700 yard of offense and held its opponents to an average of seven points in their seven victories.
Now they’re back with a year under their belt – and with them a host of talent at the skill positions – as Old Forge looks to get back to the District 2 title game and continue a string of six consecutive winning-seasons under seventh-year coach Mike Schuback.
Holland a 6-foot-3, 240-pound junior right tackle has already gotten some looks from Division I colleges and is a powerful run blocker and run stuffer. Zambetti, a 5-foot-11, 210-pound junior right guard lines up next to Holland to give the Blue Devils one of the best right sides of an offensive line in the LFC Division III.
Grasso, a 6-foot-2, 225 pound junior left tackle wrestled the job away from some upperclassmen last season and developed into a solid performer at the position. Dolinish, the smallest lineman of the group at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, is at left guard and will give Old Forge the senior leadership they got from Mario Nese in 2007. Grasso and Dolinish also provide the Blue Devils with two athletic linemen that should be able to allow more of a trapping-style running offense this season.
Old Forge does need to replace its explosive passing offense and some spots on its defense, but there is talent waiting in the wings for what should be a very successful season at Veterans Memorial Stadium in 2008.
The Blue Devils open its season on the road against arch-rival Riverside, and play just one of its first four games at home when they face Montrose on Sept. 12. Old Forge’s home schedule also includes games against Nanticoke, Holy Cross, Lackawanna Trail and Mid Valley.

Quarterbacks

Corey Hodick (6-2, 175) has big shoes to fill with the graduation of Mark Alexander (1,590 yards, 14 TDs) but the senior has the qualities to be a natural leader at the position and give Schuback a reliable signal-caller. Hodick has the size, strength and athleticism to give the Blue Devils a running-option from the position, but he has impressed coaches with his arm-strength and accuracy to also give Old Forge a threat in the passing game. Sophomore Mike Mancuso (5-10, 155) will serve as Hodick’s understudy after leading the Blue Devils freshman team to a share of the LFC Division II title in his first season as a quarterback in 2007.

Tailbacks
Junior Brian Morris (5-11, 183) was the Blue Devils leading rusher last year with 590 yards on just 88 carries, and moves into the spot in a fulltime role this season. Morris has speed and strength and reminds a lot of fans of Old Forge great Jim Tricarico who was the first Blue Devil running back to run for over 3,000 career years. Morris showed some of that star-potential last season when he busted a 70-yard touchdown run against Riverside early in the game. Behind an experienced line, Morris will get the opportunity to bust some more big runs, and set some of his own records during the next two seasons. Senior Jim Tagliaferri (5-6, 160) and sophomores Mike Tagliaferri (5-5, 152), Giovanni Ripa (5-11, 168) and Alex Enciso (5-6, 152) will provide depth at the position.

Fullbacks
Senior co-captain Jon Kaville (6-0, 200) is back and at full strength for his final season in Blue and Gold. Kaville is a solid runner and blocker and gives Old Forge a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. Kaville suffered through an injury-filled junior season in which he rushed for just 74 yards on 17 carries and caught only five passes for 54 yards. At full strength, Kaville could inflate both sets of numbers very easily. Fellow senior co-captain Anthony Pero (5-10, 173) will back up Kaville in the lead-blocking spot and played some for his injured teammate last season. Senior Ryan Lis (5-6, 145) and junior Klaus Woodeshick (6-1, 208) provide depth at the position for the Blue Devils.

Offensive Line
With four returning lettermen in co-captain Ed Dolinish, Kyle Holland, AJ Grasso and Mark Zambetti, the Blue Devils need only fill the spot of center Mario Nese. That responsibility falls on the shoulders of senior Brad Cristiano (5-11, 182) who has impressed coaches so far this season. Cristiano has the size to fit nicely in the middle of the returning line and give Old Forge a reliable anchor at center. Senior Bryan McCawley (5-10, 250) split time early last season with Grasso and gives the Blue Devils a reliable backup at either guard or tackle. Sophomores Mike Matisko (5-11, 185), Joey Mascaro (5-9, 195), Brandon Souryavong (6-1, 190), and Brad Vender (5-10, 208) provide depth and size at both the tackle and guard positions.

Tight End
Seniors Niko Manetti (5-11, 168) and Terry Tate (5-9, 160) have big shoes to fill in replacing departed Nick Tomasetti. Tomasetti was second on the team last season with 22 catches for 295 yards and two touchdowns. Manetti gives Old Forge a solid run-blocker while Tate is more of a pass-c atcher. Both will be relied upon to do the little things in the Blue Devils offense. Sophomore Deion Aldubayan (6-1, 200) gives Old Forge a big, athletic reserve at the position.
Wide Receivers
Senior co-captain Bob Vieira (5-6, 158) is the top returner at the position with 13 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown last season. Vieira is a tough player and has the athletic ability to make people miss in the open field. He will be joined in the receiving corps by fellow senior co-captain Dustin Slack (5-8, 145), and classmate Gabe Wilson (6-4, 185). Slack is a sure-handed, heady player that can also make defenders miss, and Wilson is a natural talent that can give the Blue Devils a big-play threat in and out of the red-zone. Senior Pat Weller (5-8, 156) and sophomores Kenny Paulish (5-10, 150) and Connor Fultz (5-6, 148) give Old Forge some depth at the position.

Defensive line
Holland started the entire 2007 season at DT and is back for another year of stuffing the run in the Blue Devils 4-4 defense. Zambetti will lineup next to Holland at defensive tackle to give Old Forge two playmakers on the line of scrimmage, and two big linemen capable of keeping offensive lineman off of the Blue Devils talented linebacking corps. McCawley, Mascaro, and Souryavong could figure into the DT rotation to keep the two starters fresh.
Dolinish and Grasso return at defensive end after rotating with Tomasetti in 2007. Dolinish will provide the defense with a solid run stopper on the end, while Grasso is athletic enough to become a pass-rushing threat every successful defense needs. Manetti could serve as a pass-rushing specialist for the Blue Devils with Tate also providing a solid backup. Aldubayan also provides depth and could be a sleeper as a pass-rusher because of his athletic ability, depending on his development.

Linebackers
Pero returns to anchor the middle of the defense after a record-setting season that saw the junior burst onto the scene and rack up 148 tackles and six sacks. Pero recorded nine games with double-digit tackles, including a team-high 18 in one game. He will be joined inside by Kaville who recorded 48 stops in limited action last season. Their dominance in the middle of the Big Blue Wrecking Crew may go unmatched by any opponent this season as the senior duo gives Old Forge one of the best inside linebacking tandems in the LFC,
Jim Tagliaferri also returns to give the Blue Devils three experienced LBs. Tagliaferri will lineup on the outside after playing there for most of last season. A co-captain, Tagliaferri recorded 4.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles last season. He will be joined on the outside by his brother Mike who has impressed the staff enough to earn the other starting OLB spot in lieu of the injured Lis. Lis was slated to play the other OLB spot bef ore he was injured in a scrimmage last week.
Woodeshick, Enciso, Vender and Tate will provide depth for the Blue Devils at linebacker.

Defensive Backs
The Blue Devils need to replace all three positions in the defensive backfield and will do so with three seniors and a junior. Slack has won the starting safety spot and will quarterback the defense as the smart, athletic player that Schuback likes to have at the spot.
Morris has won a spot at cornerback for Old Forge, and Vieira and Wilson are battling for the cornerback spot opposite Morris. Hodick, Paulish, Mancuso, Weller, Fultz, and Ripa give the Blue Devils depth at the position.

Special Teams
Newcomer Matt Rava (5-7, 145) will handle all the kicking duties for the Blue Devils in his first-season on the gridiron. The senior is a soccer player by trade and will give Old Forge a strong leg at the position. Slack is returning for a second season as the Blue Devils holder with Grasso and Mascaro battling for long-snapping duties.
A host of Blue Devils are vying for return duties with Vieira the only player with any type of experience from last season. Vieira returned 18 kicks for 275 yards last season.

Coaching
Head Coach Mike Schuback returns for his seventh season in charge of the football program at his alma mater. He sports a record of 42-28 since taking over in 2002 and has led the Blue Devils to a District 2 Class A title, a LFC Division III title, an Eastern Conference Class A title and four D2 playoff appearances. Old Forge has reached the post-season in each of his previous six seasons, and the Blue Devils have not had a losing season since 2003
Assistant coaches JP Gutowski and Dan Holland return, along with Mike Lettieri and Gene Biscontini. Lettieri has served as a volunteer coach for the previous six seasons before being hired as a full-time coach this year, and Biscontini – a Class of ’84 alum – served as the head coach at Honesdale High School for the past 10 seasons.

The Boss connects with Hershey crowd
by KIRA L. SCHLECHTER, THE PATRIOT-NEWS
Wednesday August 20, 2008, 12:09 AM

Eventually, the legends do come to Hershey -- it may take a while, but they come. The Who and the Rolling Stones each took years to get here. Tuesday night, it was the Boss's turn - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, at Hersheypark Stadium for the first time -- and it was so very much worth the wait.
It was a set of both old and new, of obscure tracks and covers. It was, in a word, remarkable. Superlatives are impossible, as they've all been used already to describe a Springsteen live performance. You began running out of them right away, no matter the nearly hour-late start, which began with a pointed cover of "Summertime Blues," followed by a pounding "Radio Nowhere" and a sweetly melodic "Out in the Street." Early on, he was knee-deep in the crowd, slapping hands, grasping fingertips, all with an ear-splitting grin on his face.


He got particularly intimate with the audience on the sexually charged "Spirits in the Night," singing at one point on his back, legs in the crowd, not minding the women who held his legs. He took a little boy's hat off, then returned it, while singing to him, all without missing a beat. For Springsteen, there is no wall between him and the audience -- he thrives on contact with his fans, not just emotional but physical. "Promised Land" was a hopeful hymn, spotlighting guitarists Nils Lofgren and Steven Van Zandt and imposing saxophonist Clarence Clemons. All the while, people waved signs with song titles written on them -- Springsteen prowled the crowd, gathering a pile, then had Van Zandt take his pick. Talk about keeping the band on its toes! First off was a blazing take on "Boom Boom," then a joyously loose "Darlington County," an exuberant "Sunny Day" (with its simple but loaded sentiment), and a potent "Reason to Believe" (with Lofgren on a fierce slide guitar). Then it was back to presumably the regular setlist for an assertive "Prove It All Night," a seething "No Surrender," and an absolutely chilling "Because the Night." Many songs ended in lengthy jams, but not insufferable ones - they only served to underscore the mood. A thunderingly intense "She's the One" led into the more contemplative "Living in the Future," prefaced with a talk by the politically minded artist about the issues of the day. It goes to show Springsteen hasn't converted all his masses -- not hardly.


As he spoke, a man walking down the stadium steps angrily shouted at him to "just play the music." But on he soldiered, leading into "Mary's Place" with rock ¤'n' roll preacher exhortations -- he sang directly to a woman in the crowd midway through, and she was visibly misty by his attentions. "Working on the Highway" was jaunty, Springsteen powering it along on acoustic guitar, and "Part Man, Part Monkey" was pure Bob Marley reggae. "The Rising" was an impassioned call for hope, as was a lovely "Long Walk Home." And the beautifully sparse "Last to Die" was a daggerlike anti-war statement. Classics made up the latter part of the show: a thrilling take on "Badlands" he couldn't bring himself to end, a sublime, easily swinging "Thunder Road" with the whole crowd singing, and an absolutely heartbreaking "Jungleland" -- if ever a song was a religious experience, it's this one. No matter what side his audience might have come down on politically, it's probably safe to say all would agree Springsteen is a national treasure. Ageless, timeless, with boundless energy, he is much of what this country is all about.

From Backstreets.....

AUGUST 19, HERSHEY, PA: G-L-O-R-I-A? SWEET!
Once again, it's E Street Band al fresco. And it's not like they had really scaled back performance-wise in the arenas, but tonight at Hersheypark Stadium it was decidedly a stadium-sized show. Three hours and 29 songs, with a powerhouse eight-song encore, and an emphasis on confections like "Darlington County," "Sunny Day," and "Working on the Highway," which Bruce performed out at the end of the center stage thrust. Those who expected locale-specific treats may have been disappointed -- not even "Candy's Room," let alone "Give the Girl a Kiss," "I Want Candy," "Sugar Sugar" or "Candy Man." Springsteen pulled a sign for "Give the Girl a Kiss" as part of the nightly collection, but otherwise, no apparent sense of the occasion for the Boss.




Instead, the Hershey show was a cover-fest: cover songs opened and closed (as in Charleston), with a total of four in the set -- two of them tour premieres. First up was "Summertime Blues" to open. The next one was a tour premiere from the sign collection -- "Oh my god.... we've created a monster!" said Bruce, faced with literally hundreds of signs, and he gave Little Steven first choice. "Pick one, Steve! We're going with obscurity... start with obscurity..." and Steven opted for John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom." ("Appears hastily assembled," Bruce said of the sign, written on a box lid -- with the even more longshot "London Calling" on the reverse.) Steve also picked "Darlington," which followed -- what, no signs for "Held Up Without a Gun"?

Two more covers came in the encore: "Seven Nights to Rock" had its first U.S. airing on the tour, with Garry stepping up to sing along into Steve's mic, and the tour premiere of Them's "Gloria" was a major highlight to close the show. "Let's take it back to where it all started!" Bruce hollered, bringing up Joe and Johnny Grushecky to jam along.

Another tour premiere was "Part Man, Part Monkey" by request, joining "Boom Boom" to recall the Tunnel of Love Express Tour. And did I say there was local flavor? Well, not of the chocolate variety -- but just down the road from the home of the "Scopes 2" trial, Bruce sent this one out to "the Dover parents, and good science education." "We don't know this one," he said (though 20 years ago, they were playing it practically every night), "See if the band can get it." They got it, just as they've gotten every other curveball Bruce and the signs have thrown their way. Like taking candy from a baby.

We interrupt this program....


This week has been all-Bruce, all-the-time, and will continue to do so if I can find some time....


But I must tell you that tonight begins the annual Pittston Tomato Festival. Come get some great Italian food and visit the Dispatch booth to win one of these new Coopers.

Im Out in the Street in FIVE days!!!!

I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind

When that whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes
When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When I'm out in the street
When I'm out in the street


Check this out...


This probably belongs in Aunt Joanie's Blog, but I found it first.


On my way to work for the past month, this sign keeps jumping out at me. It is on Main Street in Duryea right after the Duryea Boro Building on your left.


It has been there for at least a month, but I just finally remembered to stop and take a picture of it.


Hey Tony!! Go pay you bill!!!

Six days and nights now.....


Well I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
Well I'm a little hot wired, but I'm feeling alright
I got some money in my pocket and a long lean ride
I got to make it down to Galveston by Saturday night, now

Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling O.K.
Got a little lost along the way

I'm just around the corner to the light of day
Well, I'm just around the corner to the light of day

The 2008 Old Forge Blue Devils

WIDE EYES


Anthony Pero is all eyes as he runs through a drill during the first day of football practice at Old Forge HS. The annual right of passage of young men in Old Forge began with two-a-days yesterday at Old Forge Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Pero is a senior linebacker who led the Blue Devils in tackles last season as a junior.

A New Park

If you have driven by Old Forge HS lately you might be wondering what the heck is going on with all the bulldozers, surveys and lack of trees next to the school.


Well don't fret, the Borough, in conjuction with the school district is building a new community park that will include a walking trail, basketball courts, a new multi-use baseball field and other recreation uses.


The new park is under Phase 1 in its construction process. Keep checking back for more news on the Borough's third park facility.


Here is a picture of the work.....

Buddha, 11 Angels and Bruce


I got seven pictures of Buddha
The prophet's on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy
Sighin' over that black hole in the sun
My heart's dark but it's risin'
I'm pullin' all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place, we're gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started
Meet me at Mary's place.. IN HERSHEY!!!!!

A midnight sun worth of days left.....


With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill with her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft french cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
Because french cream won't soften them boots
And french kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one
