Two top ten power houses meet in this rivalry game. Last season, No. 1 Bergen Catholic overcame an early 10-0 deficient to defeat No. 7 St. Joseph. These two schools are perennially two of the top teams in the state and always pack the stands for a competitive game. A game that draws college scouts, fans, and just casual observers alike, sends all away satisfied with an exceptional battle on the gridiron.
