SPORTS Junior Bryce Belser (pictured here going for a point in a win over Livingston), along with senior Owen Possick and fellow junior David Garrelick, formed Prep’s powerful sabre squad.
Fencing Most agreed it would be difficult for the 2018 fencing team to follow the incredible State Championship run of last year’s squad. The team proved themselves up to the challenge with another undefeated season (12-0) and a second straight State Championship. With wins over Christian Brothers Academy, Columbia (twice) and Ridge, Prep earned its #1 state ranking.
Football Prep played its second season in what many acknowledge as the toughest football conference in the nation. With signature wins over Don Bosco, Paramus Catholic, and St. Joe’s (Montvale), the team finished 5-1 in the league and 9-3 overall. Twin 49-14 playoff victories over Don Bosco and Paramus Catholic meant another State Final appearance at MetLife Stadium. The Marauders were unable to defeat Bergen Catholic in the championship, closing out another impressive season for Coach Hansen and his squad. In addition to his 1st Team All Non-Public and Army AllAmerican selections, Shayne Simon won the prestigious Maxwell Football Club’s New Jersey Player of the Year. Simon will be playing at Notre Dame in the fall. 18 SPRING 2018 n SPPREP.ORG n PREP MAGAZINE
