LOL. That's how I remember AP. We used to call it Newark by the Sea. Asbury Park high was pretty rough and tumble. We played them in sports and I hated away games.

Rumson was similar with the parties and some of the homes were staggering. The parents never seemed to have a problem with excessive underage drinking and the indoor pools were always a plus. Most of the Rumson kids stayed local for school but many went to RBC, CBA and a variety of prep schools - Peddie, Lawrenceville, Dobbs Ferry. I used to laugh at Lacrosse but now everyone plays it including my kids.

I used to feel for you guys wearing those uniforms when it was 90 outside. I see where RBC is now recruiting football players and consistently has one of the best teams in the state. Times have changed.
