It’s not all about the game when it comes to RFH’s football games.
Games have always featured a very entertaining full-on production, featuring a big halftime show. And, back in the day, that classic RFH-RBC rivalry game always one of the showiest, most unique halftimes of all high schools. They featured, twirlers, color guard, marching bands, cheerleaders and the one and only RFH Drill Team. All encompassed the entertainment that championed many wins. How could it not? It was and is all about the RFH winning spirit. Go Dawgs!
Their faces are the faces at the core of a close-knit community. Some have passed. Some are still with us. They are cherished. They are veterans.
They were and are neighbors, dads, and just plain friendly faces around the Rumson-Fair Haven area towns.
They served. They fought for freedom.
They lived and still do live their lives with hometown pride, honor and respect. They were, they are founding fathers, friends. They were, they are cornerstones of the sense of community that is the Rumson-Fair Haven area.
The gift of their legacies bears no upscale real estate market value. They passed along a love of country and community that is priceless.
Thank you, on Veterans Day, to the veterans of the area who have passed and those who are still with us. You are cherished, honored.
Take a look at some of their faces and remember the legacy they carry.
It’s fall. And it’s always time to fall for a little beach walking, lounging, surf fishing or just plain soaking up the sun and Sea Bright scene. It never gets old — not for a forever Rumson-Fair Haven area kid at heart.

“Push ’em back. Push ’em back … waaaayyyy back!” We’re not talking football with that. We’re talking the year of that kind of cheer and its leaders — the RFH cheerleaders of the early 1970s. And the cheers continue for those RFH Bulldogs … The Dawgs are playing the NJSIAA Sectional Semi-Final football game against the Point Pleasant Borough Panthers tonight and cheers from decades back to now are always in the works. The look just may be a bit different. The spirit? Oh, that’s the same.
Triple threat RFH guys’ skate in the 1970s Photo/George Day
A must of a seasonal reprise, just because … The season says it all. Every fall has a rise and these RFH guys always seemed to find a way to rise to the occasion of a good skateboarding adventure and antics. So, this seasonal reprise from October of 2019 seemed a repeat of the finest RFH kind. Ride on, RFH guys …
