Repeats, three-peats, and four-peats: Passaic’s repeat in the 2006 victory over Paterson Catholic was not the first time that the same two teams met in consecutive years with the same results. In 1990 and 1991, Eastside was Champion and Kennedy runner-up. Kennedy topped Paterson Catholic in 1998 and again in 1999 in the first two legs of a three-peat. The most remarkable streak, however, was when Kennedy set it’s county record four-peat by vanquishing perennial powerhouses Don Bosco Tech, Eastside, Passaic County Tech, and Passaic in succession in starting in 1986..
