Warren Hills senior third baseman Tommy Moore and teammate senior catcher P.J. Hanisak were selected by the Skyland Conference Valley Division baseball coaches to first team positions as All-Conference honors were bestowed this month.

In addition to baseball, Warren Hills athletes were honored by the coaches in softball, golf, girls and boys lacrosse, track and field, and tennis.

Moore swung a productive bat, with a .421 batting average (27 hits in 64 at bats) driving in 18 runs, crossing the plate 18 times, and pounding eight doubles and four home runs. Hanisak’s comparable production contributed a .412 batting average (26 hits in 63 at bats) to the Blue Streaks’ offense, driving in 20 runs, scoring 16, and going for extra bases with eight doubles, two triples, and two homers.

Sophomore outfielder Jacob Smith and junior infielder Bryce Katistra were awarded second team honors.

In softball, Warren Hills played in the Raritan Division this spring. Named to the first team was senior infielder Carly Berezny, who batted .418 (18 hits in 43 at bats) driving in 11 runs, scoring nine, with extra base power (five doubles, two triples, and two homers).

Junior infielder Morgan DeMayo was named to the second team and Brianna Garland earned honorable mention.

In Raritan Division golf, senior Josh Roerig was named to the second team.

With 21 goals and 10 assists, senior attacker Mikayla Dugan (who also shined on the Blue Streaks’ sectional champion field hockey team in the fall) earned first team honors in Valley Division girls lacrosse. Senior back line defender Alyssa Guidi and junior attacker Amanda Kilyk, were named to the second unit.

In boys lacrosse, also in the Valley Division, a midfielder and a front line attacker earned first team accolades, senior Nick Haffner and junior Matt McShea. Ryan Janowski, a senior back liner, was named to the second team.

Two-time New Jersey Meet of Champions 3,200 meter title winner Alexa Westley also earned first team honors in the Raritan Division in the 800 meter run. Also earning first team honors were basketball standout Nicole Mallard in both the discus and javelin throws, and Elise Stanbury in the shot put. Second team recognition went to Skylar Warren in the 100 meter dash, Tamia Freeman in the 400 and Westley in the 1,600.

James Jordan earned first team recognition in the boys’ 100 meter dash in Raritan Division track. Second team honors went to William Carroll (400 meters) and Rashaad Goldson in the triple jump.

Jason Teets earned honorable mention in Raritan Division boys tennis.

Scott Cassels, known to many locals as the owner of Scotty’s Stadium Club in Washington’s downtown shopping district, was honored recently with induction into the North Hunterdon Sports Hall of Fame.

Known as “Mr. Wizard” in the Lions’ basketball backcourt in 1971, Scott played hoops with distinction as an unselfish point guard. In his senior season, when the Lions roared to a 22-2 record, he scored 243 points while dealing 202 assists to teammates. In the spring, in baseball, for North’s 1971 Delaware River Conference champions, Scott shined on the bump, with a 6-1 won-loss record, striking out 65 hitters and pitching with pinpoint control, walking a mere 13 batters. At the plate, he batted a great .308.
