This is so unsurprising. I am not one to write on a forum like this, but my kids graduated high school in '07 and '08 and played soccer, basketball, baseball. SJV kids exhibited the worst sportsmanship I had ever seen. I once sought out the AD there to complain about it. Absolutely awfl

It's disgraceful the behavior of the sjv students. Shame on them. I think they should be punished for this insensitive behavior. Inexcusable. Prayers go out to the sjv students who have no compassion or kindness in their hearts for Albert and his rbr family.

I doubt there will be a punishment for any of those kids. Remember they are perfect little catholic students. But if the tables were turned, RBR athletes wouldn't be able to play another game the rest of the year.

Unfortunately, this is not a rumor. The Holmdel police, SJV principal and coach are involved because there were credible witnesses to this event. Poor judgement on the part of the SJV students. I commend the RBR players for keeping their composure throughout the game after hearing the comments.

My child graduated RBR in 2007. At a football game at SJV, when someone went to purchase food at the snack bar, the SJV student asked if the RBR had enough money to pay for it...my nephew played football for an opposing school at SJV, and when they left the field, students spit on them...I was there and witnessed it. I agree that this is not the entire SJV community, but poor sportmanship and very un-Christian behavior is part of the culture there.

Someone needs to take these students down a notch from their high horses at sjv. God bless the students at rbr for their composure, excellent character and their spirit!

Who won?

Oooof.

It's disgusting to see how many prejudice and buyest people there are in our community alone. It's obvious that you all have something against catholic schools, and those who are "elite" compared to you. I am a highschool athlete and i have seen both good and bad sportsmanship from sjv as well as rbr, and every other highschool for that matter. You cannot condemn the entire sjv student body because of a small group of individual's actions. Whose to say that it came from an sjv student, this was a public event. Most of these public schools should actually be trying to raise thier standards of accountability and discipline to match sjv. Some kids are able to get away with acts that would have them out of sjv in a heartbeat.

@Lisacw I'll keep that in mind, but that still doesnt diminish the truth of everything else i said, ( assuming you are just another one of those BIASED people commenting on this issue which most likley doesnt involve you, not to say it definatley doesnt. A spelling error by a hs school student is a little less embarrassing than a middle aged adult using unsurprisng.

I dont know if you've been informed of this but the golden children of rbr have been doing nothing but trash talking sjv students online, there has even been threats towards the hockey team and thier game tommorow, recquiring a police escort to the game. I didnt know Albert, but he sounds like a good kid and would be ashamed to see what some of his classmates have to say. If you dont believe me check out #sjvscum on twitter. Maybe that will shed some light on this whole situation for you.

Reading all these comments a few minutes ago. People..... what are you doing? Let the authorities take care of this and stop the tit for tat before you escalate a very serious situation.

Ditto Diane. Social media has spread the rumors and all the comments so fast. STOP! Let there be PEACE on earth and Let it begin .... Here and now. My prayers go out to ALL, RBR and SJV.

Amen.

Judy u have made the most sense of all ..... After 9/11and now new town conn ... It's time to move on .... God bless Albert .... And god bless the students if something was said ..... We need to keep Christ in out hearts all the time not just at Christmas

Can someone get tfresident a spell checker, please?

@rbresident, I guess you think it's alright to make death threats. Why don't you just accept the fact that it was one, maybe two or three shiv students acting unacceptably, but dozens possibly hundreds of rbr students cursing at and making threats towards those who were not involved in the incident. I think it's time you started to grow up.

*sjv

@ Fred rbpatch, this issue goes beyond spellchecking. Please, if you have something that unimportant to say just don't say it.

I knew albert when he was a young boy and He would have smiled at the few people who made these comments. But lets remember that these kids are just kids and they all make mistakes.

I still don't get what spellchecking has to do with this, and yes I was present.
