Opponents near and far in North Jersey may have had visions of beating up on the Wayne
Valley boys' basketball team this year. The Indians, which have never
turned in a losing season in head coach Joe Leicht's nine years on
Valley Road, dominated its way to a 21-6 season a year ago.
In the 2012-13 season, it stood to reason, Wayne
Valley would take a significant step backwards. After all, the Indians
lost six valuable contributors off last year's roster, including four
starters to graduation. It's rarely a given, meanwhile, that the next
wave of underclassmen will step in and perform just like last year's
upperclassmen.But most of Wayne Valleys' opponents have faced a cold and harsh reality - the Indians haven't missed a beat since last season. Click here to read more

the scene as the 6th man his freshmen year and then as the starting

Sectional Championship as a sophomore. With the score tied in the championship
game at Kennedy High School against West Milford, Rosenberg stole the ball from

seconds remaining.

Even before the end of the Patriots’ season, the football rumor mill was churning with possible replacements for head coach Chris Olsen. The first name on everyone’s lips was Paramus
coach Dan Sabella. In a strange coincidence, Miello was briefly a
consultant at Paramus High School in 2006 and given the task of hiring a
new football coach. He hired Sabella, and Sabella has turned the
Spartans into serious contenders.
In and around Wayne Hills, there is sentiment to keep the job in-house and promote Patriots long-time defensive coordinator Wayne Demikoff. He has been on the Patriots’ staff for 14 years, is already on record as saying he would apply.Click here to read more
