11/22 - 12:00 AM Football Final Don Bosco Prep 17 Paramus Catholic 18
This rivalry goes back a long time. At 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, Paramus Catholic will host Don Bosco Prep in one of the more intriguing matchups of the NJSIAA/Sports Care Institute Football State Tournament. The winner of Saturday's Non-Public, Group 4 semifinals showdown will face the winner of St. Peter's Prep vs. Bergen Catholic for the state championship on Friday, Dec. 5.
Now, these two teams are more than familiar with one another. Paramus Catholic defeated Don Bosco Prep in the semifinals last season and took the Ironmen down 21-14 earlier this year. Will third time be the charm for Don Bosco Prep, or will the Paladins head back to the state title game? NJ.com reporter Patrick Lanni and I discussed Saturday's meeting and both picked the same team to advance. Who'd we select? Check out the video above to find out.
