Ron "Sebas" Sebastianelli will be taking the 2008 season off! Anyone close to him knows that saying something like that about Ron is about as shocking as it gets, but let us fill you in on why....
 Ron joined the United States Army in 2004 and is currently deployed with the 744th MP BN to Baghdad, Iraq to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. He will return to the states sometime in the beginning of 2009.
 Ron has always found time for football throughout his military career and other deployments. In recent years he has played with the W-B Blaze, and Susquehanna Valley Stallions, where he earned a Defensive End All-Star Selection for the 2007 season. He played for the NEPA Miners as Right Tackle and Center for their initial season and will come back looking to reclaim his positions next season. According to Ron this is "just a long season off for me".
 When not traveling with the military, he resides in Pittston with his wife, Michelle and children, Brandon, Sarah, and Lauren. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and we wish him a fast and safe return. We look forward to seeing him back on the field wearing his #79!
