Another Reason You NEVER Give up on Bergen Catholic

Furious Fourth-Quarter comeback gives fans a show

10/27/2025 6:52:00 AM

ORADELL, NJ – Walking down to the stadium I ran into one of my high school teammates at BC who is now coaching at SJR.  "You know this is going do overtime?" he quipped.  Like many before, this, the 58th meeting between BC and SJR.
     Like many others, after the first half, I struggled to imagine that outcome.  But YOU NEVER GIVE UP ON BERGEN CATHOLIC!  Even after they closed the lead to 14, then allowed it to grow to 21 again in the fourth quarter, Coach Campanile and his team were not finished. 
     In a game reminiscent of the "Brian Cushing" game in 2004, this edition was almost more football spectacle than the eyes could handle.  Trey Tagliaferri threw for 284 yards and two TDs (both in the fourth quarter) and Najee Calhoun ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns (in the third, fourth and overtime periods) to give BC a 42-35 overtime lead.  The Green Knights scored in overtime and elected to go for two and three Crusaders met the ball carrier at the goal line, but were unable to prevent the score.
