We welcome all Comets Past, Present and Future to the site.
Hackensack Athletics page is your place to celebrate the Tradition of Excellence that has been the experience of Comets since our schools founding in 1894. You will find links to athletic events, daily and weekly schedules, results, statistics, and other posts which are meant to increase community involvement in our Athletic Program. Your participation is what will promote the feeling of "Comet Pride" and that belief in the "Hackensack Family" that defines us.
