Below, we have all of the 2022 schedules for the United Red and United White divisions that play plenty cross-division games.
This season finds St. Joseph Regional returning to the Red Division with Paramus Catholic heading into the White, which becomes a five-team division with the addition of Hudson Catholic.
Last season, Bergen Catholic finished No. 3 in the High School Football America 100 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, after winning the Non-Public A championship. The Crusaders were one of six teams from the two divisions in our national Top 200 in ’21.

Once again this year, many of the teams will test themselves against quality out-of-state opponents.
Bergen Catholic will play two defending state champs. The Crusaders will open against North Carolina 4A champ Cardinal Gibbons, which finished No. 34 in the Top 100 last year. The following week they’ll head west to take-on Arizona Open Division champ Saguaro. The Sabercats were ranked No. 25 at the end of last season.
Don Bosco Prep also has a quality out-of-state schedule with No. 101 Iona Prep (New Jersey), No. 115 Edgewater (Florida) and No. 190 Archbishop Spalding (Maryland) on the ’22 schedule.
