Congratulations Jeffry Parra of East Ramapo! He will be joining The Tampa Bay Rays baseball team.

“I was thinking about going to North Rockland cause I had a lot of friends there, but my dad told me that it’s not about the school,” Parra said. “If you’re good, somebody is going to see you wherever you are. Also, I had a good relationship with coach (R.J.) MacKenzie. I still do, so that was another reason why I stayed there.”

“This is a huge lift for our district,” coach R.J. MacKenzie said. “A lot of our athletes feel like they have to go to private school to make it to the next level in athletics. However, this shows everyone your dreams can come true right in your home district. You don’t need to go anywhere else. Jeffry Parra is living proof.”

“I’m very proud to say I came out of East Ramapo,” Parra said. “This is what I worked for all my life, so it’s pretty awesome.”

Coach Gizzi has been an unwavering force within the North Rockland Football program for 14 years, beginning his journey at the modified level and steadily rising to become a key leader on the Varsity Coaching Staff. His extraordinary dedication, unmatched work ethic, and selfless spirit have made an indelible impact on the football program, culminating in their first Section 1 Championship in over a decade.
In his third year as Defensive Coordinator, Coach Gizzi’s defensive strategies have set a new standard, holding opponents to just 12.3 points per game and an average of 66 passing yards. His defense delivered an incredible 15 turnovers and 12 sacks this season, shutting out three playoff opponents and holding others to only 3.5 points per game in the postseason.
Coach Gizzi’s impact goes beyond the stats; he is a mentor, a motivator, and a model of what it means to lead with heart. Whether on the field or during the offseason, he inspires our players to achieve greatness both athletically and academically. His leadership has transformed the #NRockAthletics football program into one of the best in the state, and his influence will be felt for years to come.
