Bergen Catholic currently sits atop the Big North United Standings after knocking off SJR and DePaul back to back weeks. Add that to an early season victories over PC and St Peters Prep and BC is poised to run the table in the regular season vs NJ opponents w a victory next weekend over that slimeball, Toal and DBP. Only losses this year coming to #1 team in Ohio (St Edwards) and football factory IMG Academy out of FL.

How's Nunzio's play calling been?

Parking lot situation?

Play calling has been tight from what I have seen. BC lost Sr. QB Jarrett Guarantano (Tennessee commit) for the second season in a row to injury. Sophomore QB Johnny Langan has stepped in and kept things moving the past 2 weeks.

As for parking lot situation, no idea. This is online info only, no first hand experience.

What's the back story here? I feel like this is a parody thread/topic but I'm not sure where it comes from.

North Jersey football is a hot topic. Figured everyone would want to be up to speed on the latest. You should start thinking about it Merc, with a bun in the over it is never too late to start thinking about which powerhouse you will send you kid to...unless living in your neck of the woods you plan on making him one of those fancy Pingry lads.

 

[Villanova U]

Will probably just stick to the public schools. I never understood why you would pay $20k+ in property taxes to live in an area with the best public schools in the world, and then send your kid to private school instead.

Is North Jersey football really a thing that people pay attention to? Little did I know that I was living in a Friday Night Lights situation over here. Of course, my high school football team won 1 game in the 4 years I was there, so I don't exactly have a deep understanding of the sport in the state.

Dr Van whats the story with conferences next year? Is it official now that public and non-public will be completely separate leagues?


Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer, who will lead his top-ranked Buckeyes into Piscataway on Saturday night for a nationally televised game, said that New Jersey had “as good high school football as anywhere in the country, and obviously a ridiculous amount of TV sets.”

 

[Doctor_Van]

No idea. Only partially serious with this thread.

 

[Doctor_Van]

Apparently yes...

Yeah I think that vote was more 4.6 "official" than official official. A few non-publics not in bergen county were trying to challenge the exclusion from the publics...

Don't see any reason why Bergen won't run the table. Gr8 season so far, hope they can close it out.

 

[Doctor_Van]

Langan could be their downfall. Doesn't appear to be the greatest passer in the world.

 

[Doctor_Van]

Bergen throws up on themselves. Finds way to give Bosco their first league victory. Bosco students embarrass themselves after game taunting players and fans.

 

[Doctor_Van]

Bergen and Bosco win to advance to the state semifinals. Winner will face the victor of the St Peters-St Joes matchup for state supremecy.
