Mock trial team

Bergen Catholic has one of the most successful mock trial teams in New Jersey, with ten county championships (in 1985, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2010 and 2015) and four state titles (in 1985, 1989, 1991, and 2000), as well as a National Championship.[8] In 1991, Bergen Catholic High School won the National High School Mock Trial Championships held in New Orleans, Louisiana.[9] Bergen Catholic returned to the national championship hosted in Columbia, South Carolina in 2000 after going undefeated in the County, Regional and State tournaments. The 1999-2000 team ultimately finished 4th in the country, with three "Outstanding Attorney" awards.[citation needed]

In the 2008-09 season the team made it to the county finals, losing to Indian Hills High School. In 2010, the team defeated Mahwah High School to win the Bergen County Championship, but the team lost in the regional semi-finals, ending its season as one of the top ten teams in the state.[8] The Bergen Catholic team fell in the semi-final round of the county tournament at the end of January 2011 to the Mahwah High School team that went on to win the 2011 Bergen County Championship.[10]

In 2012, the team fell to Immaculate Heart Academy in the county quarterfinals. In an identical situation in 2013, Bergen Catholic defeated Immaculate Heart to advance to the county semi finals. After winning against two time defending champion Mahwah High School, the team lost to Torah Academy of Bergen County in the county finals. Bergen Catholic's Mock Trial team finished undefeated in the regular season in 2014 and finished third overall in the County. In the 2015 season Bergen Catholic again finished undefeated in the regular season. In the "playoff" tournament Bergen Catholic defeated Northern Valley Demarest in the first round. Then on January 29, 2015 in a double header defeated Mahwah (2014's county champion) in the semifinals and Indian Hills in the finals.[11][11] Bergen Catholic's team is nearly entirely student-run, with student captains in charge of preparation, practices, and tactics.[11]

Athletics

The Bergen Catholic Crusaders[3] compete as a member of the Big North Conference (United Division), a super conference that includes some 40 public and private high schools in Northern New Jersey that operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.[12] Until the NJSIAA's 2009 realignment, the school had participated in Division C of the Northern New Jersey Interscholastic League, which was made up of high schools located in Bergen County, Essex County and Passaic County, and was separated into three divisions based on NJSIAA size classification.[13]

Bergen Catholic has a long-standing rivalry with fellow Catholic schools Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey[14] and St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale.

Bergen Catholic offers 17 sports at the varsity level:[3]

Football

Bergen Catholic has one of the most successful programs in New Jersey. The Crusaders are 16-time state champions (1963, 1965, 1966, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2004[15]), while holding an all-time record of 365-130-12.[citation needed] A record of 99-10 between 1990 and 1999 made Bergen Catholic the winningest football program in the state of New Jersey for the decade of the 1990s.[16] The undefeated 1992 team's championship game with Paramus Catholic High School, which Bergen won 44-34, was voted "Game of the Century" by the Bergen Record.[17] Quite possibly the most anticipated high school game in New Jersey history was their championship game in 1998, when BC won the Parochial Group IV championship by defeating rival St. Joseph Regional 35-9 in the final at Giants Stadium. The 1998 team was 12-0, #1 in New Jersey, #9 in USA Today national poll, and was voted "Team of the Century" by the Bergen Record.[18]

Since 1998, the program has been to the state championship game 12 times. In 2004, the team went to Giants Stadium to play archrival Don Bosco Prep and won the state championship with a 13-10 victory, thanks to the play of Brian Cushing.[19] Cushing would later go on to become one of two players to have started in four Rose Bowl football games (Archie Griffin of Ohio State University was the other)[20] as well as an All-American at USC and a 1st round draft pick of the Houston Texans who was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2009.

Wrestling

The Crusader wrestling program has been the most successful in Bergen County over the past two decades. Bergen Catholic has won the Bergen County Championship 19 times (1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015), most in county history and hold the record for most consecutive titles by winning nine straight from 1999-2007. The Crusaders have won the North Parochial "A" state sectional title 17 times (1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015) and in 9 of those seasons they have gone on to win the overall Parochial "A" state championship (1991, 1994, 1995, 2002, 2003, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015). One of the most memorable of those state championship wins came in Trenton in 2003 where the Crusaders upset heavily favored Camden Catholic High School 40-30.[21] In addition to state and county titles, BC has won the District crown in 25 consecutive seasons (1990–2014). BC has also seen six of its wrestlers win a total of eleven individual state championships.[citation needed] The 2013-2014 team won their first Star-Ledger Trophy as the #1 ranked team in the state of New Jersey and was ranked within the top ten in various national polls.[22][23]

Basketball

Bergen Catholic won their first Bergen County Jamboree in 1977, and has a total of nine county championships with the most recent in 2015. Through the history of the Bergen County Jamboree, Bergen Catholic holds the most total games played, total wins, and championship appearances.[citation needed] They also rank second in appearances and championships. Bergen has won nine North Parochial "A" state sectional championships and three Parochial "A" state championships. Their most recent success came in the 2001-02 and 2002-03. The 2001 team captured the school's first state championship in more than 10 years with a 71-69 win over St. Augustine Prep.[24] The team would make it to the semi-finals of the Tournament of Champions where they eventually fell to St. Anthony. The 2002-03 team consisted of five Division I players. They finished with a 25-4 record and a #3 ranking in New Jersey. They captured the school's most recent Bergen County Jamboree along with another sectional championship.[25]" The Crusaders won the 2015 Bergen County Jamboree by a 66-44 score in the tournament final, defeating a Teaneck High School team that had previously won four consecutive Jamboree championships.[26]

Golf

The Bergen Catholic golf program has earned 101 championship titles,[27] nine Tournament of Champions titles[28] and 52 league titles. With a record of 984-33-1 through the 2015 season, Coach Jim Jacobsen is the winningest golf coach in state athletics history and has been at the helm since 1983.[29] The most recent being May 2015, where the program captured the State Meet of Champions trophy and the number 1 ranking in the state.[30]

Bowling

The boys bowling team won the overall state championships in 1998 and 1999.[31]
