For the first time since 2014, Red Bank Catholic is a New Jersey high school football state champ. The Caseys beat DePaul Catholic 13-8 for the Non-Public B state title.
RBC was led by senior quarterback Alex Brown, who had an emotional end to his high school football career. Brown’s mother passed away, after a long battle with cancer, before the playoffs began.
Friday night at MetLife Stadium, Brown threw for a touchdown and ran for one.
