Modified (7th & 8th Grade) Season Begins Wed 9/1 at 4pm at CHS

Coach Romanowski — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:51:27 +0000

The Modified season will begin Wednesday 9/1 at 4pm at Columbia HS. Players are to meet Coach Merhige by the front gate at Budnowski Field at 4pm. Players will go to the equipment room to get sized for equipment and then return to the field (at the conclusion of the FROSH scrimmage) to begin practice with athletic testing and practice #1. Practice will be finished by 6:15pm on the turf field.

Players need to bring water, cleats AND sneakers, and a big gym bag to keep their equipment in after it has been issued.

Practice #2 will be on Thurday at Goff Middle School from 4-6pm.

The time and location of Practice #3 for Friday 9/3 will be given to the players on Thursday 9/2 due to Coach Merhige’s wedding on Saturday 9/4.

Our football program appreciates your patience and flexibility during this time around Coach Merhige’s marriage.

Weight Room Closed: Friday 7/30 & 8/5

Coach Romanowski — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:45:56 +0000

The weight room will be closed on Friday July 30 and Friday August 6. Next week, ALL GRADE LEVELS should lift together on Thursday for “Day #2.”

I apologize for the inconvenience that tomorrow’s closing may cause.

Also, for each of the next two Wednesday sessions, players will need both sneakers and cleats!

Summer Weight Room Hours

Coach Romanowski — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 22:01:30 +0000

As we officially start our Summer Strength & Conditioning program on Tuesday 7/6, here is the schedule that has finally been confirmed:

Grades 11 & 12: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 6pm – 8pm

Grades 7-10: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 6pm – 8pm.

If you have a LEGIT reason as to why you can not commit to these three (3) nightly workouts each week, the weight room is open Monday and Thursday ONLY from 6am – 7:15am.

We have only six (6) weeks until the start of double sessions for the HS levels that start of August 16 (Monday). Building on the success of CapitaLand Camp is imperative. YOU must continue to improve as a player – WE must continue to improve as a program – this is directly under YOUR control. Also, Modified practice starts on September 1.

Mandatory Football Meeting

Coach Romanowski — Mon, 31 May 2010 13:20:20 +0000

Now that our school’s spring sports seasons are completed, we must have a brief but MANDATORY informational football meeting discussing important team events and key dates from now until the start of the season in August. This is a meeting for BOTH players and parents/guardians.

The meeting will take place on Thursday JUNE 3 in the South Forum in Columbia High School (2^nd floor in the South Tower). Players from current grades 11 and 10 will meet from 6:30pm to 7:00pm while current grades 9 and 8 will meet from 7:15pm to 7:45pm.

2010 Schedule Changes

Coach Romanowski — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 14:05:49 +0000

Our week #4 game against “A” Amsterdam is replaced by a Liberty Division game at home against Troy HS. This is the result of the reconfigured AA enrollment numbers by the NYSPHSAA.

Also, our Week #3 Varsity game at Colonie HS will LIKELY be a Thursday Night game due to Rosh HaShanah. Please note that these changes are likely, but our schedule still remains tentative.

Class AA Reconfiguration

Coach Romanowski — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 00:24:40 +0000

New York State has recently changed the enrollment threshold used as the cut off between Class AA and Class A for football. As a result, Troy will move back up to the AA’s. Our schedule will subsequently change as well. Once it is finalized, I will make it available.

2010 Tentative Varsity Schedule

Coach Romanowski — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:46:15 +0000

The following is the TENTATIVE Varsity schedule for 2010. Week #1 @ CBA**. Week #2 Niskayuna. Week #3 @ Colonie. Week #4 Amsterdam**. Week #5 @ Schenectady. Week #6 Shaker. Week #7 @ LaSalle. Non Liberty League games are designated with **.
