North Bergen Sends Legendary Coach Out on a Memorable Finish

North Bergen head coach Vin Ascolese's 50-year coaching career came to an end in an incredible way on Saturday in the North Jersey I, Group 4 championship game.

Underdog North Bergen stunned previously unbeaten Montclair 14-13 when Debray Tavarez caught a 22-yard touchdown pass between three defenders with no time left on the clock.

Ascolese retires as New Jersey's third winningest coach with a career record of 359-128-7.  The title was the seventh for the 74-year old coach at North Bergen.
