Leading up to the annual Shore Gridiron Classic at 7 p.m. on July 18 at Brick, DigitalSports will be rolling out recaps and videos from the history of the game since its inception in 1978 as the Asbury Park Press All-Shore Classic, right up to this year's anticipated showdown between the top seniors from Monmouth and Ocean counties.
In an attempt to provide a complete archive for the fans, players and the Shore Football Coaches Association, which is now running the event, we are looking for any photos, videos, stories, and statistics from past games that anyone would like to share to create a complete history of a game that has become an institution in the summer in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Please send us your memories of a game that holds a special place among many former and current Shore Conference players, coaches and fans.
