St. Anthony, the long-time high school basketball powerhouse in New Jersey, is officially closing its doors.
The Jersey City high school first opened in 1952 and has sent over 200 players to D-I men’s basketball programs throughout the country. The school has also won 28 state championships, all under legendary head coach Bob Hurley. He’s also won four national championships and has had eight undefeated seasons.
Bob Hurley, who also serves as the school’s president, announced on Wednesday that the school will be closing its doors at the end of the 2016-17 school year due to lack of funding and dwindling enrollment.
