EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ The Don Bosco Prep Ironmen faced the Bergen Catholic Crusaders in the NJSIAA Non-Public A State Championship game at MetLife. The Ironmen were defeated by the Crusaders 45-0.

Despite a big play on its first offensive possession, the Ironmen offense was stymied throughout the game, while the Ironmen defense struggled to contain BC’s running and passing game. Some players still had strong games, although suffering a disappointing loss. Linebacker Lamont Lester (‘24) led the team in tackles with 3 solo tackles and 5 assisted tackles. Defensive lineman Jovan George (‘23) was close behind Lester with 3 solo tackles and 3 assisted tackles.
Unfortunately, the Ironmen were unable to cap off the successful season that they have had the entire year. Don Bosco now looks ahead to next season and hopes to continue the success they experienced this year.
