VIDEO: Glen Rock Teens Create Viral Sports Sensation

Four juniors at Glen Rock High School are behind the game 'totting,' a monumental marshmellow challenge of trick shots that has gone viral.

It might draw snarls from the lunch ladies, but throwing food in the Glen Rock High School cafeteria has birthed a sport that's gone viral. "Totting started out with just some simple fooling around in lunch," said Ryan Pulford, a 16-year-old junior at Glen Rock High School. "Jake [Pellegrino] bought tater-tots and we started throwing them up and catching them in our months." Soon enough, Pulford, Pellegrino, Anthony D'Onofrio and Joey Cinquegrana were performing stunts, coining their creation "totting." But tater tots had their limitations. You're not always near an oven and potato-stained pockets aren't in favor on the catwalks of Paris nor the laundry rooms of Glen Rock. "We realized that large marshmallows would be more suitable for …

Sign up for Maroons Soccer Teams

Tryouts being held in May.

The time is now for youth to sign up for a shot on the Maroons Soccer Club teams. Tryouts for boys and girls aged 8-14 are on May 7, 12, 19; and also on June. These teams will compete for the fall 2012 and spring 2013 seasons.  Signups are completed on the Community Pass system.

50 and Counting: RBSA Gears Up for Another Parade

Annual parade from the train station to Veterans Field begins at 9 a.m.; youth baseball organizers asking participants to bring one non-perishable food item for charity.

Perhaps the largest youth sports organization in the county is embarking on yet another annual parade this Saturday, a tradition that dates back at least 50 years. Organizers of the Ridgewood Baseball Softball Association (RBSA) haven't been able to pin an exact date, but can trace the march from the west side train station through Vets Park since the days of T-Birds. "As the president, I'm usually the first one in and I get to see them coming down stretched from Maple to Ridgewood Ave," said Jim Albano, president of the youth organization. "It's an unbelievable scene." The parade on Saturday begins at 9 a.m. from the train station, circling through much of Ridgewood's downtown before funnelling to Vets Field. There are about 1,800 youth …
