Bergan Evening Record
February 7, 1925

The front page of the Bergen Evening Record February 7, 1925 article reported on Hackensack ending Passaic High School known as the “Wonder Team” winning streak of 159 games.
For a High school event to make the cover page back then was very rare, unless it had some national importance. In the sports world, it had national importance and still does to this day.
