RBR’s Wide Receiver to Play in North-South 33 Classic

Red Bank Regional’s (RBR) fast and nimble wide receiver, Tyheem Crawford, of Red Bank, will be representing his school in the North-South 33 Classic at Kean University this summer.

This popular high school sporting event, will be held on Monday, June 25. The event pits the best high school players from north Jersey against those from the central and southern high schools in the state.

In addition to representing RBR this summer, Crawford previously represented RBR in the Shore Classic for Monmouth vs. Ocean County All-Stars. Along with being named the co-captain of the RBR football team, Crawford also played basketball throughout his high school career, and served as the team's captain during his senior season.

Off the playing field, Crawford is a student in RBR’s Academy of Sports Medicine and Management. He hopes to major in physical education while he plays basketball in college. Currently, Crawford is still deciding on which college to attend, although he has had offers from various institutions. In addition to his athletics, Crawford mentored future student athletes in the Junior Bucs program as well as through the Boys and Girls Club of America.

“Football has opened up several doors for me and helped me mature,” said Crawford. It has also proved to be a valuable outlet for my emotions.”

RBR Coach Nick Giglio, has seen a great deal of maturity in Crawford over his high school sporting career.

“Tyheem has become a leader over the past two years. He also has tremendous athletic ability and a great route running technique as a receiver” said Giglio. “He has the best ‘hands’ that I have been fortunate to coach over my 18-year coaching career.”
