Scott Millar looks back fondly on getting to play in the Hudson County All-Star Game following the conclusion of his senior soccer season at Kearny. And as the year passed and with virtually every other league or county having an all-star game, the now Kearny boys soccer head coach had a simple question - ‘Why doesn’t Hudson County do this?’

For a long time now, Harrison girls volleyball head coach Madison Lucas has had this season marked as the year that the Blue Tide program breaks through as a legitimate contender in Hudson County and the always challenging NJIC. One year after an 11-win season and just a couple weeks removed from its strongest summer league performance in years, this senior-ladden group looks ready for this moment. “We’re really excited,” said Lucas, who enters her fifth season as head coach. “I feel like we’ve been building, building, building and it's starting to feel like this is going to be our moment of breakthrough.”

Perrin Mosca understands why some people have tagged his Lyndhurst boys basketball team as destined for a rebuilding season. Yes, the Golden Bears have graduated the entire starting lineup and six of the top eight scorers from last season’s NJIC National Division title squad. And while truly replacing the likes of Anthony Pizzuti and Matt Slaby will likely prove impossible, what Lyndhurst does have is a hungry, talented group that is poised to turn some heads.

It would be easy for people to count out this year’s Lyndhurst boys soccer team because of what it no longer has, most notably All-State striker Robert Dasler Jr., who scored 43 goals last year. But despite the graduation of the program’s all-time leading goal scorer, head coach Emad Abu-Hakmeh sees a team that has the depth and versatility to exceed what last year’s team accomplished when it went 15-6 and shared the NJIC Patriot Division title.

Steve Vahalla knew that as his two kids started to grow up and become more involved in activities that it would be time for him to walk away from a Lyndhurst program that has become one of the better programs in the NJIC. That time became official last week when after 13 years as the Golden Bears’ girls volleyball coach, Vahalla announced his resignation as head coach. He informed his team of the decision on Friday. Vahalla leaves Lyndhurst with a stellar 201-128 record over 13 years (2013-15). He also coached the Lyndhurst boys team when the program started in 2014 through 2019.

As a Harrison native, Blue Tide flag football coach Dan Nankivell has long believed his home town is one embodied by its toughness and grit. The recent NJIC Tournament showed that his flag football team have those same attributes in spades. Twice in a span of three nights, Harrison found itself trailing only to fight back. First, in the semifinals on May 19, the Blue Tide overcame a 12-point halftime deficit to defeat rival Secaucus, 14-12, on a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. Then, on May 21, at Veterans Park in Edgewater, Harrison rallied back from an early deficit, then went on to defeat Leonia, 12-6, in overtime to capture its second NJIC championship in three years.

When Lyndhurst boys basketball coach Perrin Mosca created a schedule as challenging as any the Golden Bears have ever faced in program history, it was with nights like this coming Wednesday in mind. That’s because after keeping its head above water during a challenging start, Lyndhurst is now one of the hottest teams in Bergen County, winning 10 of its last 11 games. The most recent of those victories, a 59-56 win over Cresskill in the NJIC Tournament semifinals on Feb. 12, has the Bears on the verge of a title.

Chris Boyce had a set of goals for his North Arlington boys basketball team for this season. And while winning a division title was among them, the veteran coach admittedly it wasn’t necessarily at the top of the wish list. “We have our list of goals that we laid out there for tryouts and we try to take one thing at a time, but winning the league was definitely low (on the list),” said Boyce, in his second season with the Vikings. “I thought we had a chance to compete for the division.

When North Arlington’s afterschool practices concludes at around 5 p.m., Elijah Zaldivar’s basketball work is just beginning. Soon, the Vikings standout guard will be found in a nearby gym or park, continuing to put up shots and refining a game that is already among the best in the NJIC. “I would go to the park down the street from my house, put some music on and just work on my game,” said Zaldivar. “If not, I usually go to the gym and just up some shots. “I’ve always done this, but as soon as the high school season started, I’ve increased the intensity because I knew I was going to have much more pressure and much more responsibility.”

Every day, the players on the Lyndhurst girls basketball team are told about the goal for this season - a NJIC Patriot Division title. But just in case the Golden Bears need any more reminders of that goal, all they have to do is look up at the blank banner inside their gym. “We say every day our goal is to win a division championship and it hasn't been done in our school's history for girls basketball,” second year head coach Dan Kesack said. “We leave the gym, we look at that banner and it's blank, and we say, why not this group be the first group to achieve that?

When Bryan Jablonsky was a middle school coach in Harrison a few years ago, he got as he called it “a really, really early sneak peek preview,” of an incredibly talented group of young players with the potential to completely change the perception of Harrison girls soccer. That time has arrived now. Despite a still very young roster, Harrison has announced its arrival as one of the best teams in Hudson County and the NJIC, starting the season with a 10-1 record. The most recent of those wins, an 11-1 dismantling of a Secaucus team that had beaten the Blue Tide 16 times in a row.
