VETERAN WEEHAWKEN COACH – Jake McNish has been the head man with the Weehawken boys’ basketball team for more than 20 years and has perhaps one of his youngest teams this season
While most of Hudson County’s basketball teams have struggled mightily to get to the 15-game maximum schedule that was instituted by the NJSIAA in face of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Weehawken High School’s boys’ squad hasn’t faced the stops and starts that others have withstood.
For example, Union City’s boys have played just three games as of Feb. 25, winning all three.
Weehawken’s boys have somehow managed to take the court 11 times, posting a 6-5 record at press time.
