Recognition has nothing to do with track and field
For Mahwah High School student Andrew D’Angelo, a discus is not just a heavy disc used at track and field competitions. The senior has been named one of the national ‘Discus Award’ winners, a recognition that gets him a college scholarship. According to the award committee, Andrew, and other award winners across the country, were chosen not only for academic accomplishments, but for being “hungry for a different kind of success.” The awards look at ten considerations when choosing winners – academics, arts, athletics, community service, faith, government, green, technology, and other accomplishments. For Andrew, soccer is his passion. “I like soccer because it’s a thinking game,” the Mahwah goalkeeper said. “You need to predetermine what …

Boys soccer team plays county quarterfinal game Sunday
The Thunderbirds suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss Sunday in the county tournament's quarterfinal round game against Old Tappan. The boys soccer team went into the “Elite 8” round of the tournament with a well-deserved confident attitude. “We’ve been playing together since we were U8,” said junior Adam Reckseit. “We’ve got good team unity and we all know what each one of us is going to do on the field.” “This is the best the team has done in a while. Two years ago, we only had three wins, last year we had 12, and now we are 9-3-2 so far,” Andrew D’Angelo added. The team is also preparing for the state tournament that starts the first week of November. The boys attributed the improvement to an increased commitment level of all of the …

Girls bond on and off the field
Last year’s state championship soccer team is no more. The Mahwah girls varsity soccer team is made up of a completely different group of players, but that doesn’t mean their goals, or their attitudes, are any less. “We are definitely more of an underdog this year, but that’s fine,” said senior captain Molly Cohan. “We want to prove everyone wrong.” The girls are going into the quarterfinal game of the county tournament on Sunday. They will take on Northern Highlands, the top seeded school in the tournament that has an undefeated record so far this season. Mahwah, the ninth seed, has an 8-3 record. “We bring out the best in each other, and our playing styles compliment one another,” said junior Kiersten Spencer. “I don’t know if anybody is…

What to expect from the girl's soccer team this year
Last year was the perfect ending to a perfect season. The Lady T-birds captured not only the North I Group II sectional title, but they went on to win the state Group II title as well, a remarkable feat. This year, the team is relying on a small group of seniors to help the younger players along. With a group that has been around the winning culture for the past few years, look for this team to further develop as the year goes on and be ready to make some noise once again come playoff time. Upcoming Schedule 9/13 Tuesday- vs. River Dell 6:00 pm 9/15 Thursday- @ Bergenfield 4:15 pm 9/20 Tuesday- @ Pascack Valley 7:00 pm 9/22 Thursday- vs. Tenafly 4:30 pm

A strong off-season and a talented group of players should be a recipe for success
Last year was a breakthrough year for the Boys Soccer Team. They qualified for both the county and state tournaments and began to show major improvement under coach Vincent Vespe.
