Sports Updates
Boys Soccer had another successful, program-building
season. Our participation numbers saw a spike from the fall
of 2024.
We won several matches and were very competitive in many
others. First-year Head Coach John Schwerdtfeger did a
fantastic job in leading our boys.
Girls' Tennis had another program-building season. We won
several league matches, despite having several
inexperienced players. We look to build upon an underclass
roster in 2026.
Football enjoyed another successful season, culminating in a
fourth consecutive NJSIAA playoff berth. Our season
highlight under first-year head coach Matt Gallo was a
victory over crosstown rival Lincoln.
Fall Cheer was a tremendous asset to our fall programming.
They bolstered school spirit and brought great energy and
excitement to our football sidelines at both home and away
contests.
