NY/NJ Catholic Battle for the Bridge


NJ2015

Recommended Posts

9 games including:

St Anthony’s vs SJR

Chaminade vs PC

Iona Prep vs Don Bosco 

Stepinac vs DePaul

Cardinal Hayes vs Pope John

 

This should be an annual thing.  Too bad the CHSAA doesn’t have enough quality to add opponents for SPP and BC as well. 30 years ago, Holy Cross, St Francis Prep, Holy Trinity, Msgr Farrell and St John the Baptist had pretty good programs.

Makes sense. These border wars are a no brainer. 
 

Louisiana had a border war back in 2017. It was a good event. They went to battle against Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia.
 

Louisiana went 0-9. Let’s hope this border war is more competitive

Pulaski Academy,AR 62, Parkway 21

Grayson,GA 22, John Curtis 9

Complete lie....you should really be banned. I have a feeling it's coming soon since everyone that has lied with you is now banned.

Enjoy!

I think you have a mistake. The marquee matchup is Cardinal Hayes vs. Bergen Catholic. Unless that has changed

No.  BC and Peters not involved. BC playing Seton Hall Prep that weekend.  And as 66 suggested, Iona was number 1 in NYS last year.  And they and Stepinac are probably the class of the CHSAA with Anthony’s dropping off quite a bit in last 5-6 years

I though Iona Prep was better than Hayes? 

Stepinac is better than Hayes and this being basketball (not like football) I think a lot of times it just comes down to which team shows up on a given night. Any of these teams can beat each other.  I know this is old from October but you guys are saying this schedule is no longer valid?:

oh  lol  sorry boys  I just knew that battle was taking place this weekend and I assumed that is what we were discussing

Yeah the timing of the football announcement around this weekend a little confusing.   But looking forward to September.    And like I said hopefully Anthony’s or Farrell can return to last glory and make this more of an event at the top tier.

Doubtful..going back some ways but even when Anthony's was dominant in NY 10 years ago both Bosco and Bergen took them apart. They are also Co-Ed  which makes it a tall order. Farrell has the ability but because of the constant competition in NJ, I just don't see the same commitment in NY. Maybe that is just me. Walk down memory lane:

 It sure how Chaminade got into this….they don’t even play in the highest classification.

They do play Anthony’s Iona Stepinac and other top division teams.  But compete in lower bracket playoffs. And they are paired against an 0-9 complete rebuild PC.
 

 Another program that was quite good 40 years ago
