Having upended Bergen Catholic 13-0 in the
NJSIAA Non-Public Group 4 state championship contest, the 10-2 Green Knights claimed their 18th state football title and earned the No. 79 ranking in
MaxPreps National Rankings!
MaxPreps and the New Jersey Army National Guard were on hand to celebrate with the Green Knights, a powerhouse football program that plays in the incredibly tough world of North Jersey, at halftime of the boys varsity basketball game against Bergen Catholic.
MaxPreps representative Matt Vecchione welcomed the rowdy, packed house crowd and recounted some of the many accomplishments of Green Knight football last fall before introducing Sergeant First Class Christopher Delgado of the New Jersey Army National Guard. SFC Delgado had the honor of presenting Green Knight football coach Augie Hoffmann with the school's third Army National Guard national ranking trophy in football.
SFC Delgado spoke about the strength of New Jersey football and how the school should be proud to have such a worthy recipient of this award. Hoffmann, who looks as if he could still play, was honored to receive another trophy for the school and continues to build on the tradition that legendary coach Tony Karcich laid out there.
While the Bergen Catholic faithful were not thrilled to see their rival receive the prestigious trophy – the St. Joseph Regional students roared with approval. Thank you to everyone at St. Joseph Regional High School for your role in making this another fantastic stop on the 14th Annual MaxPreps Tour of Champions presented by the Army National Guard. Click
