Delbarton Football Season Ends In State Semifinal

It was quite the season for the Delbarton Green Wave football program, starting the season with three close losses, but finished 6-6 with its loss to Bergen Catholic in the NJSIAA Non Public A Semifinal 28-7 on Saturday, November 19.

Delbarton got on the board first against Bergen Catholic when Kyle Checchio '25 blocked a punt and Will McGinty '24 recovered the ball in the end zone for a 7-0 lead.  Delbarton would keep that lead after one quarter with the defense looking sharp early.  Bergen Catholic would score three times in the second quarter, including a 44 yard pass with seconds left in the first half.  Bergen Catholic would go into the locker room up 21-7. 

Bergen Catholic would score another touchdown in the 3rd quarter to go up 28-7 and would win by that score as well.  

The Green Wave finished the year 6-6, but despite a 4-5 regular season record, the team performed at a high level all season long, culminating with a playoff run that saw them outscore their first two opponents 77-18, including a 35-12 upset of #3 St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City in the quarterfinal.

Thank you to all of our athletes and coaches for an inspiring season, and a special thank you to all of our seniors who gave their heart, sweat and blood over the past four years.  For those returning next year, we'll see you back at Regan Stadium (with a new field house) this August!
