Final Monmouth 28 Ocean 21

Anti climactic finish as the all-star game blitz rule will give Monmouth a 1st down and nullify this 3rd down stop by Ocean 48 seconds left in the game

It’s July, but I’m thrilled to be covering a football game this evening! Here in Holmdel at Bob Roggy Field for the @SFCF_NJ All-Shore Gridiron Classic! Great crowd for what is sure to be a great game to cap off many iconic prep careers. Kickoff coming shortly!
