• Bergenfield football sees an opportunity in Ivy Division (northjersey.com) — Bergenfield High School’s football team is resetting in the Ivy Division this fall, aiming for its first winning season since 2019 after a resilient 4–6 campaign under new coach Joe Lapi. With key offensive players returning, a deeper roster, and a more balanced schedule against schools like Fort Lee, Belleville, and Millburn, the Bears hope competitive games will boost participation and restore pride in town.
