Coach’s Comments: 

“Hoboken has not been in the playoffs since 2019 and has not hosted a game since 2016. The team has the potential to accomplish both. They have less to learn from the playbook in year two, and we can pay more attention to the little things. We continue to work hard and move forward.” – Head Coach Joe Borkowski
