2016 has been quite a journey for Don Bosco Prep.  It began with a preseason national Top 25 ranking; moved to an 0-3 start; and the regular season ended over the weekend with a defeat of former #9 and nationally-ranked St. Peter’s Prep, which gave the Ironmen a share of the New Jersey Super Football Conference United Red Division title with St. Joseph Regional (Montvale).  That victory moves DBP to #9 in the latest regional rankings, which is the only change this week.  Bosco also returned to the national rankings at #50 on Sunday.
