The stage is set for a North Jersey tradition! The 26th-annual Bergen County Football All-Star Game kicks off on Saturday, June 13 at Lyndhurst High School, showcasing the top senior talent from the region one final time under the Friday night lights.

Mark your calendars for a 6 p.m. kickoff. Tickets will be available at the gate for $15 for adults and $10 for students, offering a fantastic opportunity to see future college stars in action.

This year's game carries a poignant tone for the South squad, which will honor the legacy of the late Pat Tirico, a former Lodi coach and athletic director who passed away in February. Serving as the posthumous honorary coach, Tirico's influence will be felt as many of his former assistants lead the team. The North squad will be helmed by Head Coach Mike Alberque Sr.

On the field, the North team looks to continue its recent dominance after a decisive 35-7 victory last year, which extended its commanding lead in the all-time series to 20-4-1. The rosters, geographically adjusted to ensure competitive balance across all positions, feature the standouts who defined the past high school season. It's the perfect showcase of local football excellence and a celebration of the community's passion for the game.
