2018 Shore Conference Football Schedule
The Shore Conference has released its complete 2018 football schedule with the season kicking off on Sept. 1 with a marquee matchup between Red Bank Catholic and St. John Vianney.
It's a new-look schedule, to say the least, with the Shore Conference undergoing a massive realignment for the upcoming season that features seven divisions based on strength-of-program and school size instead. The schedule also reflects the NJSIAA's new playoff format.
Notable changes include the Toms River South vs. Lakewood Thanksgiving rivalry game coming to an end after 98 years. The teams will not play during the regular season, either, ending a rivalry that was played every year on Thanksgiving since 1920.
Barnegat and Pinelands will not meet on Thanksgiving but will instead face on another in Week 3. Rumson-Fair Haven and Shore Regional are not scheduled to play either on Thanksgiving or during the regular season.
Holmdel and Raritan will move their Thanksgiving game to the final week of the regular season, while Donovan Catholic and Manchester will now play Thanksgiving Week after traditionally playing the week of the first round of the state playoffs.
