Like their neighbors in Flemington, the sixth-seeded Lions (11-6) closed out the weekend on a four-game winning streak. It was capped by a 66-43 verdict over 11th-seeded South Hunterdon in an H/W/S second round tilt.
The tournament victory was highlighted by four Lions in double figures, only the second time this season North has done that. Senior Michael DelSantro, who leads Hunterdon County with 47 3-pointers and is second in scoring (14.2 ppg.), paced North with 13 points. Paul Woolhouse, who has come on of late with three double-figure outings in his last three games, scored 12 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, Nick Guasta had 11 points and Wes Reinagel (12.2 ppg.) added 10 points.
The Lions will face third-seeded Hackettstown in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

For guiding the Lions to a school-record 11 victories and their first sectional title since 1975, Mazzetta is the 2017 lehighvalleylive Football Coach of the Year.
He is the second North Hunterdon coach to win the honor, formerly The Express-Times Coach of the Year. Fritz Halfacre was given the award after the Lions’ 1974 season.
Mazzetta, a former player at Hunterdon Central and then Virginia Tech, had reason to be optimistic about North Hunterdon’s prospects entering the fall. The Lions were coming off a four-loss campaign, which contained a handful of second-half stumbles.
Mazzetta credits his assistants – Kevin Kley (D-coordinator), Anthony Petraglia (D-line, special teams), Bob Lockhart (LBs, H-backs), John McSweeney (O-line) and Billy Krebs (WRs) – for building up that conviction within the players.

Congratulations to the girls fencing team for defeating Lawrenceville in a nail-biting meet 15-12. Senior epee Steph Sharp clinched the win for the lions. Outstanding performances by senior saber Rebecca Xu for going 3-0 and sophomore epee Joanna Zhang for going 2-0.
With Michael DelSantro behind the wheel, North Hunterdon is quickly gaining the tight-game experience needed for the pressure-packed moments of a late-season tournament game.
North will surely be ready for any stiff test when tournament time comes around based on recent results. The Lions (7-5) won a pair of tight ball games at home, beating Hunterdon Central by three and Morris Hills by two before falling to Immaculata by two on the road.
DelSantro, who as a sophomore last season led the Lions in scoring, posted 22 points against Hunterdon Central and 22 against Morris Hills, and 20 more in the loss to Immaculata. The junior guard is No. 3 in Hunterdon County at 14.5 points per game and he’s chalked up 31 3-pointers, second in the county.
DelSantro and Wes Reinagel (11.7 ppg., including 18 against Immaculata) have formed an effective 1-2 punch for the Lions.
