North Bergen Investigated for Recruiting Players
by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America
The Montclair Times is reporting that an investigative report in Sunday's Star-Ledger is leading to the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association investigating allegations that 2011 state sectional champ North Bergen recruited players.
North Bergen beat previously unbeaten Montclair 14-13 to win the North Jersey I Group 4 title in December. It was a memorable game because it ended when North Bergen's Debray Tavarez caught a 22-yard touchdown pass as time expired.
It was the final game of head coach Vince Ascolese's 50-year career that saw him retire as the state's third winningest head coach with a record of 359-128-7.
Publish reports indicate that two of Ascolese's players will be looked at during the investigation by the NJSIAA. The Star-Ledger is also reporting that the North Bergen School District has retained a law firm in the case.
If North Bergen is found guilty, it could be stripped of the title.
Coach Ascolese was a guest on the High School Football America radio show before the allegations broke. Click here to listen to the interview detailing his career.

New Jersey Schools Vote Down Proposal to Create Overall State Football Championship
by Jeff Fisher
New Jersey High School Football Huddle
Discussion on creating a new playoff system that would crown an overall group champion in the Garden State will have to wait until at least 2013.
A proposal to change the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association constitution, so that its member schools could consider a plan for expanding the playoffs to include an overall group champ, didn't receive the necessary two-thirds votes at the NJSIAA's 94th annual business meeting.
The proposal needed 190 votes, but only received 167. 102 schools voted against and three abstained, which means the matter cannot be presented again any sooner than 2013.
Had the membership ratified the change to the constitution, the state would then have considered a plan to expand the playoffs that was being spearheaded by East Brunswick head coach Marcus Borden and Brick athletic director Bill Bruno.
Back in May, I spoke to both Borden and Bruno on the National High School Coaches Association Sports Hour about the plan. Click here to listen to that interview.

Don Bosco Prep Finishes #1 in Final Star-Ledger High School Football Poll
by Jeff Fisher
New Jersey High School Football Huddle
After 46 straight wins and six straight Non-Public Group IV titles, there's no surprise that Don Bosco Prep finishes #1 in the Star-Ledger Top 20 High School Football Poll. It's the 8th time that DBP has finished as the newspaper's #1 team.
Finishing behind the Ironmen was Bergen Catholic, which suffered two of its three losses at the hands of the Ironmen.
Don Bosco isn't finished though...there's a very good chance that the Ironmen will be crowned national champs in the next few weeks considering they are currently ranked #1 by MaxPreps and USA Today.

North Bergen Sends Legendary Coach Out on a Memorable Finish
by Jeff Fisher
New Jersey High School Football Huddle
North Bergen head coach Vin Ascolese's 50-year coaching career came to an end in an incredible way on Saturday in the North Jersey I, Group 4 championship game.
Underdog North Bergen stunned previously unbeaten Montclair 14-13 when Debray Tavarez caught a 22-yard touchdown pass between three defenders with no time left on the clock.
Ascolese retires as New Jersey's third winningest coach with a career record of 359-128-7. The title was the seventh for the 74-year old coach at North Bergen.

Don Bosco Prep Wins 6th Straight State Championship
by Jeff Fisher
New Jersey High School Football Huddle
There was a lot of hopes in Kentucky and South Carolina that #1 Don Bosco Prep would trip-up against its arch-rival Bergen Catholic in the New Jersey Non-Public Group IV championship.
A loss by the Ironmen would open the door for #2 Trinity (Kentucky) and #3 Gaffney (South Carolina) to have a shot at claiming MaxPreps' "mythical" national championship. Of course, both would have to grab gold this weekend themselves.
Well, DBP wasted no time showing why it deserves its second national title in three years. Head coach Greg Toal's team never struggled like it did in its September 30th regular season match-up against BC, rolling to a 42-14 win, which gave the school its sixth straight state title and pushed its win streak to 46 straight.
In the September 30th game, Bergen Catholic took a one-point lead into the fourth quarter before losing 33-22.
BTW...Trinity did its part by beating Scott County 62-21 Friday night to capture Kentucky's 6A title. This afternoon, Gaffney will take-on Byrnes for South Carolina's Class AAAA Division I title.
