MORRIS PLAINS: North Hunterdon was more than capable of performing well and did just that and possibly found some depth along the way. It was hardly a surprise to see Elena DiMarcello win the girls junior 2 race in 18:59.1, followed by teammate Emily Nugent at 19:05. The Lions won the junior 2 team title as they slightly edged Ridge, 18-19.
Chloe Gonzalez easily set a new PR on the sophomore girls 2 race, taking the victory in 19:11 which puts her as the Lions’ fifth best runner in the past year based on times. Her previous best was set at 21:03 at last season’s Skyland Conference Championships.

The Lions looked impressive in a season-opening victory. North opened the game by recovering an onside kick and scored on its first play from scrimmage, then retorted immediately after Summit took a second-quarter lead with another long scoring pass, and clinched it early in the fourth quarter with the game-winning drive. Busher completed 14-of-25 passes for 269, throwing two touchdowns to Jared McMahon, who caught five balls for 122 yards, and the quarterback ran in the winner, as North Hunterdon took a giant leap toward its goals, securing a 21-17 victory at Investors Bank Field.
