Shore NJ Football: Rumson Fair Haven celebrates SCT championship
The Rumson-Fair Haven girls flag football team won its third straight Shore Conference girls flag football championship Tuesday night.
RUMSON – Flag football has only been a sport in the Shore Conference for four seasons, but there is already a mini-dynasty in the Shore.
Rumson-Fair Haven won its third consecutive Shore Conference championship Tuesday night with an 18-12 win over Pinelands Tuesday night in the championship game at Borden Stadium.
“It’s so special,” Rumson-Fair Haven coach Randy Kalman said. “As soon as the girls came out, they were just as special as the last group of girls. They’re athletic and smart, but we didn’t have the experience. But, we could see right away, we had a lot of team speed and great girls again.”
The Bulldogs, who finished 9-0-1 and have not lost a game since the 2023 regular season, had to replace 12 starters from last season’s 10-0 team.
They received significant contributions from Tuesday night from players who were not major contributors for the previous two teams.
Junior quarterback Izzy Capra, who had to take place of Ella Mason, the Bulldogs’ standout quarterback the previous two seasons, threw TD passes of 15 and 51 yards to freshman Devon Libro and 62 yards to senior Stella Saad
Defensively, junior Sydney Rettino, the granddaughter of the late Union High School football coach Lou Rettino, was a constant presence in pressuring Pinelands dual-threat junior quarterback Heidy Cyphert, especially in the first half when the Bulldogs built a 12-0 lead.
Cyphert did have TD runs of 12 and 18 yards in the second half. The final one came with 45 seconds remaining and came after Capra’s second TD pass to Libro had given the Bulldogs an 18-6 lead.
