RHS Athletic Hall of Fame
Members of the Ridgewood High School Athletic Hall of Fame are those that have made a lasting impact on the school’s sports program as either student players, coaches, or supporters. Often the student players have continued to influence their chosen sports after high school by ongoing participation in athletics.
Shannon McGarrigle 2008 Inductee
Shannon McGarrigle (Class of 1994) made her mark in Ridgewood High School athletics in basketball. A four-year varsity starter, she is Ridgewood High School’s all-time leading scorer in basketball, both boys and girls, with 1,967 points. In the Bergen County Girls Tournament, McGarrigle is also the all-time leading scorer with 289 points.
McGarrigle’s top honor came when she was selected to The Record’s All-Century Team. She is in the top ten, all-time, for scoring in girls basketball in Bergen County. For three consecutive years (1992, 1993 and 1994), she made first team All-County, First Team All-Area North Jersey in the Herald and News and First Team All-Suburban in The Ridgewood News. She was named First Team All-State in 1994.
Team-wise, McGarrigle played on Ridgewood’s Group 4 State Championship team of the 1990-91 season and the Maroons’ Bergen County Championship teams of 1992, 1993 and 1994. McGarrigle received a basketball scholarship from Northwestern University. Now the head girls basketball coach at Ramsey High School, McGarrigle was named The Ridgewood News’ All-Suburban Girls Basketball Coach of the Year for the 2006-07 season.
