Scene Around: RFH Bulldog Wrestling Bliss

Have you heard? Probably. But this picture is worth a thousand RFH Bulldog cheers.

The snapshot, captured by RFH dad and Rumson Police Sgt. Bryan Dougherty, is all about seizing the moment of a historic win for the RFH Wrestling Team — one earlier this week that got the Dawgs a sectional title in the state’s Central Jersey Group 2 championship.

RFH beat the Point Pleasant Borough team, which was third-seeded, 66-13, getting its first sectional champ title.

This win put the Bulldogs wrestlers in the Group 2 semifinals in a match against Caldwell today (Friday).

So, TGIF cheers to a win!
