Outdoor Writer Report post Posted September 17, 2012 I spent the last few days in Las Vegas where I watched my high school from northern NJ -- Bergen Catholic (BC) -- bend, staple, tear and mulilate powerhouse Bishop Gorman HS (BG), which was ranked in the top 10 in the U.S. The game was broadcast nationally by Fox on Fri. night. It was BG's first home loss since 2006 and the first of any loss since 2010. BC is also nationally ranked and will no doubt move up a few notches, especially after they annihalated another powerhouse -- St. Anthony's of Long Island -- last week. St. A's had a 29 game winning streak ended. So now for a bit of history... I was on the FIRST varsity football team in 1958 at BC and scored the first TD in school history. The photo below was in the Bergen Record newspaper the next day. THAT was a LONG time ago! The reporter for the Record newspaper who was in LV for the BC/BG game interviewed me by phone while we were there and did an article.

Snapshot Report post Posted September 17, 2012 Cool bit of history Tony. I dig those shoes your running in I never did get into High School football, although I wish I had. I did play little league football as a tight end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
