LV Football Weekend

[OutdoorWriter]

LAST EDITED ON Sep-16-12 AT 07:07PM (MST)[p]So I just got home from Las Vegas where I watched my high school from northern NJ -- Bergen Catholic (BC) -- bend, staple, tear and mulilate powerhouse Bishop Gorman HS (BG), which was ranked in the top 10 in the U.S. The game was broadcast by Fox nationally.

It was BG's first home loss since 2006 and the first of any loss since 2010. BC is also nationally ranked and will no doubt move up a few notches, especially after they annihalated another powerhouse -- St. Anthony's of Long Island -- last week. St. A had a 29 game winning streaqk ended.

So now for a bit of history...

I was on the BC FIRST varsity football team in 1958 and scored the first TD in school history. The photo below was in the Bergen Record newspaper the next day.

The reporter for the Record newspaper who was in LV for the BC/BG game interviewed me by phone while I was there and did an article.
