The boys' basketball varsity, coached by Bob Hurley, has been, for over 30 years, the most dominant high school team in New Jersey's history. St. Anthony has won a national record 25 state championships, set with a 74-44 win in the 2008 sectional championship game over Trenton Catholic High School to win the Parochial B state title.[3] The school has also won 9 of the 18 Tournaments of Champions. St. Anthony has produced over 150 players to Division I basketball programs, all on full scholarships. He has coached five first round NBA draft picks, including his own son, Bobby Hurley. His team has been the subject of a book, a documentary titled "The Street Stops Here", and soon a movie based on the book. This year, documentary crews captured the entire season as the Friars finished the season as the #1 team in the country, followed by Saint Benedict's Preparatory School, another New Jersey program. Hurley has won at least two national championships, according to USA Today.
