The greatest boys player in school history is Bob Verga, a prolific scorer at both St. Rose and Duke University who went on to play in the now-defunct ABA and hooked on with at least one NBA team post-merger. He set a state record with 1,033 points scored during his senior year at St. Rose and led his team to consecutive state championship in 1962, when he scored the winning points in a game against Phillipsburg Catholic High School despite being triple teamed, and again in his senior year in 1963.[10]
