North Hunterdon has prevailed over their chief rival on the links this season.
Led by a 3-over-par 74 from sophomore Eric Stevens, the Lions posted a four-player score of 314 Tuesday to edge Hunterdon Central (318) by four strokes to win the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Golf Tournament at the Architects Golf Club.
Other contributors for North Hunterdon were juniors Brian Cardace (78) and Brendan Zappala (83), and freshman Mike Kochanowski (79).
The Lions’ victory breaks a four-year winning streak by the Red Devils in the H/W/S tournament. Hunterdon Central had won eight Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex titles in a nine-year period (with the Lions winning in 2012).
North Hunterdon, which won the Skyland Conference Raritan Division title with a 16-3 record, defeated Hunterdon Central 155-163 earlier in the season, but the Red Devils won the rematch 156-159.
North Hunterdon’s Skyland Conference tournament team title in early May, however, coupled with Tuesday’s H/W/S victory, gives the Lions bragging rights for this spring.
