It’s back!  After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic the 43rd Annual Shore Sports Network All-Shore Gridiron Classic will be held on Wednesday, July 13 at Brick Township High School.  Presented by Jersey Mike’s the game matches recently graduated seniors from Monmouth County against their rivals from Ocean County.  It is a joint effort between the Shore Football Coaches Foundation and the Shore Sports Network.
