It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.

The Stick Good Morning

You finally wrote an article where I agree with you 100%.
What are you talking about? Everybody always agrees with all my articles; or I beat them up!
coach I was unaware that you played lacrosse and that your teams back in the day played in the championship games. Did you win any titles, LI,Nassau, NY state ?
Razzler, No I didn’t play lacrosse, I was a “Lax Player” as my coach would have said. I think I mentioned somewhere that I played and coached the big 3(Football, Wrestling and Lax)? Anyway I was just talking about this with a few lacrosse players down at the gym. The teams I played on were very good. We had at least 2 All-Americans and must have sent at least a dozen or more on to play in college. One note- , back when I played there was no Leagues. There was only 1 Nassau county champion. At least this is the way I remember it. Anyway we lost in the finals my Jr year to Farmingdale and in the semis to Freeport both large schools. I am pretty certain that no small school in Nassau could have beat us. As for the rest of LI and NY, I am not sure. In HS Football There was also no play-off system like today. (which I think is one of the best things that happened for LI sports in a long time)Again I was a part of 2 very good teams 7-1 both my Jr.and Sr. years. We lost to Garden city and Rutgers Cup Champion New Hyde park my Sr. year. But when I wrote this I was Thinking about when I played LI Flag Football. I remember some guys that I hung out with from Farmingdale asking me to play. I thought, Yea this will be fun. MAN was I shocked! Bunch of nuts yelling and cursing. Many very good football player most who played in college. Anyway we won a few LI championships in the top division. Played 1 championship game at Giant Stadium pretty cool! Thanks for the question.

Ellinger what is next???
I have a couple of articles in the works that I must get finished. One on the mental aspect of the sport, the other on the garbage going on in the weight training industry. I need to get my butt in gear look for them soon! Down at the gym I have a great group of kids. We are working hard. I am also working to add a full wrestling mat area. This would be a big bonus for wrestlers who join the gym. Hopefully we will be able to make it happen. Good luck to everyone in the New year! Coach Ellinger
