Greg Toal, Don Bosco Prep head football coach, never shies away

QUOTE:

"In 11 seasons at Don Bosco, Toal has lifted the program to heights never reached in New Jersey high school football. The team finished this season ranked atop the USA Today national poll, the first time a high school football team from New Jersey has achieved that status.

The Ironmen have won four straight Non-Public Group 4 championships, monopolizing a division whose success used to be divided among powers such as Bergen Catholic and St. Peter’s Prep. Toal, 56, has guided Don Bosco to a 120-10 record. Twenty of his former players were on NCAA Division 1 rosters this year, and two more are in the National Football League."

What's up with the BC fleece. Cmon Greg! Represent.

Sounds like a good guy who has worked hard to get that program where it is today. Geography makes it tough any sort of a pipeline into that program, although I think UVA may have pulled some from there (especially in the Groh days).

Ahhhh yes. Brian Toal stud LB I presume?? He was quite the high profile recruit from what I remember.

5* IIRC. And we used to do decent up north when Rogers was around. Lost it all once he bolted. Shane's at least got us back into PA this year, it's a good start.
