ESPN Magazine / Coaches! 101: Impact Player Award Football Preview

Hoboken has a bright new future, and this is the season for head coach Lou Tagileri '" this season he has one of the best young Quarterbacks since, Rashard Casey. And what is selected to have a perennial running attack with a multi-facet passing attack, the run oriented double wing-t offense will have some spice; with a little sugar to open some salt in Hudson County. The young team that won 3 games last year, is now a little mature with a junior QB running the show. Spencer Perez, coming into his junior year has been the QB Hoboken has been grooming and waiting for since the graduation of Hoboken finest. Spencer Perez, has the pocket passing potential that hasn't been seen in a wing-t offense in some time, and maybe since Mike Forcum ran the show. Spencer how is a little raw on a pro-style, spread style, or even open style offense: only because Hoboken runs a double-wing-t type of an offense, has the pure capability to run a spread passing system with coaching and teaching.

Hoboken has the opportunity to make some much needed changes and noise in Hudson County, if the staff abandons the losing principals of the past few years, with a passing attack that the county hasn't seen, and an offense that Hoboken has been missing since Casey, ran wild in Hoboken.

Hoboken High isn't new to the spotlight, as the softball team lead by long-time PAL coach Vincent Johnson, become number one ranked team in the Nation, in Hoboken's first appearance in the RBI World Sires Softball classic. So for Hoboken High School to be making a much needed comeback after a decade of disappointments'"is looking to change the tide, like it did in the 90's.
