Just a reminder that if a coach is telling you not to play another sport, they either don't know what they are talking about or they only have their own best interest in mind.
"I was 150 lb, scrawny. I decided I wanted to play in the NFL. I asked my high school coach what I needed to do. He said to get my butt in the weight room." Saquon Barkley
It is with immense sorrow that we announce the passing of Coach Jerry Schulte. What he meant to our program pales in comparison to what all of his players and coaches meant to him. He was so incredibly proud of his time at RFH and will be greatly missed. Love you coach.
Upsetting to hear about a college coach shutting down their recruitment of a player solely because that player decided to go to a different camp. Colleges are starting to put entirely too much pressure on 16-17 yr olds and their families with these camps.
If you're being told by a coach that you should only "focus" on one sport, you should reconsider who you are playing for. Good coaches want what's best for their players. Bad coaches only want what's best for themselves.
Huge congratulations to Charlie Volker on being named a member of the USA National Bobsled Team!! Charlie is the first rookie ever to be named to the team. We're not surprised tho... we've always known he's something special! Great job Charlie!!
So incredibly proud of
@CharlieVolker
has been crushing it in everything he does since day 1. As cliche as it sounds, Charlie is a shining example of what hard work and dedication accomplishes. Excellent role model and the entire RFH community is pulling for you. Run Charlie run
Congratulations to

rookie minicamp! The 2x Ivy League Champion has rushed for 33 TDs and 1,994 yards for the Tigers!
If you are being told that weight training, including in season, is not beneficial...you need to seriously think twice about whether or not that person has your best interest at heart. Look at ANY major college team in ANY SPORT. They lift. End of story.
Congratulations to Coach Schulte on his induction to the NJFCA Hall of Fame! Well deserved after over 45 years coaching. Unfortunately this years induction ceremony was cancelled but hopefully there will be something soon.

This was Shane Fallon's first year as our head coach. That's 31 players TOTAL. Grades 9-12. This past season we had 140 between all 3 levels. This was the beginning of what we are today. Since this picture, we have had 1 losing season. Tradition never graduates.
Huge shoutout to our trainer Alex Stein on National Athletic Trainer Appreciation Day! Impossible to put into words how much of an impact he has had not only on our program but all of the outstanding sports at RFH. The best to ever do it!
One play does not define this season. We exceeded expectations when people counted us out. From 0-2 to one of 10 public schools left, this season defined RFH football. Incredibly proud of our team for fighting all year long. We'll be back.
2020 has been mentally and physically exhausting. There have been many times where quitting would have been accepted. It's what you do when you face adversity that truly defines you. Take some time over the next few weeks to unwind and enjoy whatever company you can have.
To everyone who supported us...THANK YOU!! It takes everyone to make something like this happen. Our community is something special and it feels amazing to bring this home.
And to everyone who doubted us all year...thanks for the added motivation!
Not done yet!!
Congrats
@Keeganwoods6
on breaking his own school single season record for tackles as well as leading the state with 178 this year! He finishes his career as the RFH all-time leader in tackles with 417. Great job Keegs!
To everyone who supported us...and to those who didn't...THANK YOU. You helped drive us to where we are today. We could not have done it without each and every one of you. The support of

is unmatched! Go Dawgs!
So proud of our guys. People counted us out from the beginning of the year because of our schedule but they never gave up. We had our ups and downs but always stood toe to toe with every team. This team will always have a special place in our program.

A few numbers for our program from 2010-2019:
91 - Total wins (most in Shore Conference)
58 - All-Shore selections
23 - Playoff wins
10 - Playoff appearances
9 - Sectional final appearances
6 - Sectional Championships
1 - Bowl Championship
More to come in 2020-2029...
Baseball and both lax teams are
#1
in the conference and top 10 in the state. Both track teams won division titles and look very strong for the postseason. Softball is on the verge of making the playoffs for the first time since '06. It's a good spring to be a Bulldog.

Bravo Captain Winters! Class Act! Proud of both teams and the Sportsmanship Displayed in one of the most amazing HS Footballs Games I’ve seen!
@RFH_Football
Something a little different this week for our Why RFH? 61 of our alumni since 2016 have played at the next level at some of the top colleges in the country. Understanding the value of a great education helps set you up for life. They also get to play some great football too!
And a very special congratulations to
@john_lista
on being named the Shore Sports Network Defensive Player of the Year!
John is the 3rd RFH linebacker to be named player of the year in the past 6 seasons, joining Keegan Woods (2018) and Mike Ruane (2016). Outstanding job John!
Stats, awards, grades and accolades are always a great thing to post if you are looking to get recruited, but usually the first thing coaches ask is something like "what can you tell me about so and so as a person?" Always make sure you're more than just your numbers.
I am blessed to announce that I am committed to Johns Hopkins University! I’d like to thank my family, coaches, teammates, and friends for helping me along the way and supporting me through it all. Also thank you to the Johns Hopkins coaching staff for giving me this opportunity!
Congratulations to captain Beau Kemler on being named a recipient of The Shore Conference of High Schools Sportsmanship Award! Well deserved honor for a 3 sport standout who has helped lead our team for the last 3 years. Great job Beau!!
Exactly why kids should be multi sport. Quite a few of the names in this article are who helped lead us to a group final last fall. Same with baseball. Not a coincidence. Let athletes be athletes.
"No matter who we played today, we were going to come out like this. It just made it even better that it was Mountain Lakes.”
The Bulldogs waited all year for this.

@RFHLAX
I want to thank the Princeton coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to play at the next level. I would also like to thank those in Rumson and Fair Haven who have guided me along the way. That being said, I’m committing to the admissions process at Princeton University! 🐅
There is a lot of negativity out there right now. It's easy to get sucked into it, especially on social media. We can't let other people's negativity affect our mindsets. Let those people be miserable. Stay the course.
Huge congrats to sophomore(!) Colin Kennedy on breaking the school hang clean record at 300 lbs and junior Thomas Quadarella breaking the squat record with an incredible 560 lbs!

We are asking everyone to please wear a mask and practice social distancing at tonight's game. The players have done everything we have asked of them during this. Wear your mask so they can keep playing!
We have always stressed to our guys to be leaders, both on and off the field. Now is the time to be a leader off the field. STAY HOME. Do the at-home workout that Coach Orrok gave you and STAY HOME. Be pillars in your community.
So proud of Coach Orrok and everything he has done not just for our program, but for every athletic program at RFH. Our teams are consistently competing for championships during every season and Coach Orrok is an integral part of that. Congrats Coach.

Outstanding job by John Connors today at the Meet of Champions!! John hit 6'6 AGAIN to take 2nd in the state. John will be back in the spring to go for the title again!!
Congratulations to Alex Maldjian on earning NESCAC Co-Rookie of the Year honors. He was the first rookie (since the conference began keeping stat leaders in 2000) to lead the league in rushing with 100.6 yards/game, gaining 905 yards on 212 carries with 10 TD's!
#PantherNation
Great job by our guys. Almost 700 pounds of food donated to FulFill!! Thank you to the RFH Football Parents Assocation moms for helping set this up and everything else they do throughout the year!
If there is a HIGH SCHOOL coach that puts down and lies about other programs, all in the hopes of recruiting kids, it's probably not a team you want to be a part of.
There is a lot to be thankful for this year! Our community, team, faculty, staff, administration. It takes everyone going in the same direction to make things happen. We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
Can tell the season opener is getting closer when those numbers and stripes go on! Big thanks to our Athletic Trainer Mr. Stein for doing this every year.
20 years ago today, our community, along with many others, was affected on a personal level. 10 members of the RFH community were lost that day. Today, we remember all of those lives lost. Take time today to hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
Congrats to
@JSZ_Sports
on 3 years of covering NJ sports! Anyone who has seen Rich patrolling the sidelines with his camera knows how passionate he is about it and the kids love it!
Happy birthday to the one and only Tommy Pants!! The man behind the lens at everything RFH. This guy is a lesson in following your passion and working tirelessly to be successful at it while also being a tremendous person. Enjoy your day Tommy!
