Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5042155, member: 10435"] St. Anthony (singular) Jersey City was coached by Bob Hurley Sr. (both Bob Hurley Jr. and Danny played for their father there, Bobby on a national championship team) and St. Patrick's (Elizabeth) was coached by Kevin Boyle, current coach of perennial national champion Monteverde Academy in Florida and constant rival. St. Anthony had several #1 teams in the nation and numerous state championships and St. Patrick's had its share. For just a couple of current NBA players, we have Kyrie Irving from St. Pat's and Kyle Anderson from St. Anthony. They met almost annually in the state Parochial B North Jersey finals which was always unfortunate because in those days it was usually 3 rounds away from the overall state championship game , since abolished (we only have group championships now supposedly due to financial reasons). I was at the famous game when St. Pat's #1 in the country was beaten by St. Anthony #2 in the country on a sick out of bounds play by Bob Hurley Sr. which I will never forget. St. Anthony had the ball and Hurley signaled to the exact spot on the sideline he wanted a time out called. It was a series of picks and all of a sudden a player was free going down the lane for a dunk. Hurley said later that he hadn't used the play in 2 years. St. Pat's had Kidd Gilchrist and other successful D1 players and St. Anthony had Anderson and the same. A great book on Hurley and the program is The Miracle at St. Anthony. [/QUOTE]
