Most finals appearances: Passaic 18, Eastside 17, Kennedy 14, Paterson Catholic 10, Passaic Valley 5, Passaic County Tech 4, Don Bosco Tech 3, De Paul Catholic 2, Eastern Christian 1, Clifton 1, Wayne Valley 1
Most County Championships won: Kennedy 10, Passaic 8, Eastside 7, Paterson Catholic 5, Passaic Valley and  De Paul Catholic 2, Eastern Christian, Clifton , Passaic County Tech , Don Bosco Tech 1.
Consecutive County Championships: Kennedy 4 (1986-1989), Kennedy 3 (1998-2000), Passaic 2 (1978-19 and 2005-2006), Eastside 2, Paterson Catholic 2
Consecutive County Final Appearances:  Kennedy 7 (1986-1992), Paterson Catholic 4 (1996-1999), Eastside 3, Passaic 3, Don Bosco Tech 3
Repeats, three-peats, and four-peats:  Passaic's repeat in the 2006 victory over Paterson Catholic was not the first time that the same two teams met in consecutive years with the same results.  In 1990 and 1991, Eastside was Champion and Kennedy runner-up.  Kennedy topped Paterson Catholic in 1998 and again in 1999 in the first two legs of a three-peat.  The most remarkable streak, however, was when Kennedy set it's county record four-peat by vanquishing perennial powerhouses Don Bosco Tech, Eastside, Passaic County Tech, and Passaic in succession in starting in 1986..

Archives
When the teams line up for the first basketball foul shot of the new season , their positions along the lane will look just a bit different. You may also see a technical foul (or five) called against the coach if a player is wearing an "illegal uniform," not that someone will be wearing a firefighter's coat to the tip off.  One thing you won't see is the refs confer at the video replay booth.  Read a summary of National Federation's rule changes (and non-change) on our "In The News" page.
