One of Bergen County's winningest coaches is one win away from a storybook ending after an unlikely tournament run.
Bill Jaeger, a long-time soccer coach for Tenafly, has decided to retire after leading his team to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Ridgewood in the Bergen County boys soccer final. The final, which will be held on Saturday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m., will pit Tenafly against Demarest for the county title. Jaeger, who has been coaching the Tigers since 1990, is ranked fifth in Bergen County wins with a career record of 351-153-29.
His team's success has been built on depth and teamwork, with many players having to overcome injuries throughout the season. Despite the challenges, Jaeger is confident that his team has proven its capabilities and is excited to bring him another championship.
