Northern Varsity Wrestlers Capture Third Consecutive BCSL Liberty Division Title!!
Fans entering Northern's stands Wednesday night knew what was on the line, a league title, but they also knew that Northern had been outmatched just four days earlier at the Jack Welsh duals when Moorestown earned a decisive 38-25 victory. What was the difference? Northern Burlington coach Jule Dolci said. “Guts. Northern’s built on guts." Giving Moorestown their due credit, he continued, "they really took it to us a few days ago, but we took this as a challenge, and we never back down from a challenge.”
Senior John Konopka started to turn the tide of the match when he won a 6-3 decision. Hobbling from a previous day's practice injury, he set the tone that Northern was there to battle for their third straight BCSL Liberty Division title. At 220, L.J. Terry added to the excitement scoring a tech fall and at 106 pounds, Mike Subers continued the tempo in the lightweight bouts with a pin.
With junior Zach Verity, sophomore Court Chase taking back-to-back decisions, and senior Matt Nixon taking a big decision at 152, it was all left on the mat for standout junior Wayne Stinson (24-3) to seal a victory. The night was capped with Stinson's pin, the scoreboard clicked to a Northern win of 35-24, and the fans rejoiced in their team's season efforts.
A special congratulations to the entire team and the endless amount of hours of dedication that have been poured into this season by coaches, parents and fans and those that support the athletics day in and day out. Best of luck in the districts!

Northern's Varsity Football Coach Jon Reising Receives Coach of the Year Honors
Northern Burlington's Jon Reising received the Coach of the Year Award at the 2011 Gordon-Masters Football Club of Burlington County All-County Football banquet. The entire NBC community congratulates Coach Reising for this outstanding accomplishment. The Burlington County Times Reported:
“We’ve got some fantastic kids,” Reising said. “Some special kids. When you get a player (Tosin Adeyemo) honored as player of the year, it makes you look good. You have two other all-county kids, you have two all-academic kids; it makes you look good as a coach.”
Reising acknowledged those players along with his staff of assistant coaches, who helped oversee a history-making season for the Greyhounds. Northern Burlington was a playoff team for the first time since 2003 and won a playoff contest — against nine-time sectional champion Middletown South — for the first time since 1995.
“My coaching staff — I can’t say enough about those guys,” Reising said. “They do tremendous work, in season and out of season. Chris Keleher, John Barbadoro, Rick Doppler, Gene Darling, Rodney Holliday, Charlie Buck — it’s really a privilege to be at that school, working with these guys and these kids.”
