[edit] Athletics
The St. Mary High School Gaels compete in the Bergen County Scholastic League, whose three conferences consist of thirty public and parochial high schools covering Bergen County and Hudson County in northern New Jersey. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
The wrestling team was recognized as the winner of the 2007 team wrestling tournament for the Non-Public, North B state sectional championship.[2] The wrestling team moved on to win the NJSIAA 2007 Team Wrestling Tournament Group B State Championship, topping Bishop George Ahr High School, 53-19. This was the Gaels 4th consecutive State Championship,beating St.Augustine, Holy Cross, and St. Joseph's (Hammonton) in the previous three finals. The Gaels had also won six consecutive Sectional titles, three District 16 titles, three BCSL National Titles. The Gaels Wrestling teams established the school's most prolific athletic dynasty.[3]
St. Mary High School has filed a complaint against Queen of Peace High School with the NJSIAA, claiming that a new wrestling program run by former Gaels coach Scot Weaver at Queen of Peace will induce St. Mary's wrestlers to transfer schools.[4] To the girls basketball team which won't play livingston kerry dressel is a bad coach I bet your team makes the states and matten is waiting for you to give him a game
