"Steve Angeli came north to play high school football and will head to South Bend for college. For the first two games this season, the senior quarterback and his Bergen Catholic teammates have gotten well-versed in geography.... That was among the aspects of North Jersey football that drew a Westfield resident to attend a school roughly 30 miles north on the Garden State Parkway.
