    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    One Jersey coaching legend is helping out another.

    Bill Parcells has donated $100,000 to St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, home of legendary high school hoops coach Bob Hurley.

    “Coach Bill Parcells is a New Jersey native and has many years’ experience with inner-city kids,” read a statement released by Parcells. “He said “I get it. I’ve coached enough and seen enough to know how important a good, solid education is. I have a lot of respect for what the faculty and staff are doing at St. Anthony’s. I’m glad to help in whatever way I can.”

    Born in Englewood, N.J., Parcells coached both the Giants and the Jets, while Hurley has been at St. Anthony his entire coaching career.

    He has led the Friars to 25 state titles and nine New Jersey Tournament of Champions crowns.

    Two years ago Hurley led St. Anthony to an undefeated 32-0 season and sent six players to the Division 1 ranks.

    A documentary film entitled “The Street Stops Here” chronicling that team will appear March 29 on PBS.

    This year’s team features four seniors committed D-1: Ashton Pankey (Maryland), Devon Collier (Oregon State), Eli Carter (St. Bonaventure) and Derrick Williams (Richmond).
