ORADELL, N.J. — River Dell Regional High School is the recipient of the ShopRite Cup, an award that honors athletic excellence.
The award is presented by ShopRite and the NJSIAA, the state's governing body for high school athletics.
Schools in each of the state's six athletic groups are awarded points based on how their teams perform in championships in the 32 state-sanctioned sports. They receive more points per season whenever none of their student-athletes or coaches were disqualified.
