[edit] Athletics
The St. Mary High School Gaels compete in the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC), a league made up of public and private high schools in Bergen County, Passaic County and Hudson County in northern New Jersey, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.[5] Prior to the realignment that took effect in the fall of 2010, St. Mary was a member of the Bergen County Scholastic League (BCSL).
The wrestling team was recognized as the winner of the 2007 team wrestling tournament for the Non-Public, North B state sectional championship.[6] The wrestling team moved on to win the NJSIAA 2007 Team Wrestling Tournament Group B State Championship, topping Bishop George Ahr High School, 53-19. This was the Gaels 4th consecutive State Championship,beating St.Augustine, Holy Cross, and St. Joseph's (Hammonton) in the previous three finals. The Gaels had also won six consecutive Sectional titles, three District 16 titles, three BCSL National Titles. The Gaels Wrestling teams established the school's most prolific athletic dynasty.[7]
St. Mary High School has filed a complaint against Queen of Peace High School with the NJSIAA, claiming that a new wrestling program run by former Gaels coach Scot Weaver at Queen of Peace will induce St. Mary's wrestlers to transfer schools.[citation needed]

The former football star at St Mary's in Rutherford was spectacular against Smith controlling the bout with his nasty right cross for the victory."
