The football program, led by Coach Michael "Chic" Ciccoteli is probably the school's most notable. For the 2002-03 the team was "On the Road," as the home field was under construction. The Keyport Red Raiders went on to play an undefeated season and win their state championship. The following season also proved successful. Every game was won except the championship, giving the team a 21–1 record for the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons. The football team has won the Central Jersey Group I state sectional championship in 1987, 1988, 1992, 1998, 1999 and 2002. The 1992 team finished the season with a 9-2 record after scoring the lone touchdown of the game in a 6-2 win against Dunellen High School for the Central Jersey Group I championship. The team won the Central Jersey, Group I state sectional title in 1999 with a 21–0 shutout of South River High School. The team repeated in 2002 with a 37–6 win against South River High School.
