There’s been a lot of hoopla over the new hoops at the revamped McCarter Park in Fair Haven. And it was 76 years ago that the original “playground” seed was sown and there were some pre-Thanksgiving headlines and ads that would make your gravy-sopped, turkey-lovin’ head spin.

But, back in the day, Thanksgiving, to be exact, the RFH football season used to peak with what then was the classic rivalry homecoming/Thanksgiving Day game between Red Bank Catholic and RFH. Two days before, everyone was headed home from college for the big homecoming reunion, dance and, of course reunited partying at Ichabod’s (now Woody’s, owned by RFHer Chris Wood).

This time it’s all about those RFH Bulldogs and cheer for a winning football season! With a now 12-0 record and a final semi-finals win against Point Friday night, the Dawgs are headed to the state finals in December.
And no one lifts the Dawgs on the field more than the cheer squad — however it turns up — and away with kooky enthusiasm.
