[edit] Athletics
The Saddle Brook High School Falcons compete in the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC), made up of private and public high schools located in Bergen County, Hudson County and Passaic County, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.[4] Prior to realignment that took effect in the fall of 2010, Saddle Brook was a member of the smaller Bergen-Passaic Scholastic League (BPSL).
Saddle Brook sports teams include Football, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, Cross Country Boys and Girls, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling, Winter Track Boys and Girls, Spring Track Boys and Girls, Baseball, Softball and Girls Tennis.
The softball team won the 1998, 2000 and the 2010 North I, Group I state sectional championship with a 2-1 win over Emerson Junior/Senior High School in the finals, after topping Ridgefield Memorial High School 10-0 in the first round and Park Ridge High School 11-1 in the semifinals.[5] Saddle Brook Track & Field Team won the 2005 Indoor and Outdoor State Group 1 NJSIAA Track Championships led by Coach Howard Schuman.
The softball team has had 13 consecutive 20-game win seasons. The team won the BPSL Carpenter Division title in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009 and in 2008 made it to the final in the county tournament as the only group I school left in the tournament.
Under Head Coach Darren White, the Saddle Brook High football team saw a resurgence in its program from 1999 to 2003. In those years the Falcons reached the State Playoffs in five consecutive seasons, after years where the team had finished with records of 0-10 and 1-9.
