The city will honor the back-to-back state champion Hoboken High School football team on Wednesday with a parade down Washington Street.

“Congratulations to Coach [Lou] Taglieri and the Redwings on their back-to-back championships,” Mayor Dawn Zimmer said in a statement. “I invite our community to come out and celebrate their great accomplishment.”
The parade Wednesday starts at 3 p.m. on 11th and Washington streets and processes south, concluding at City Hall.
