“People ask me all the time,” said Busher, The Hunterdon County Democrat Player of the Year, who finished with a Hunterdon County record of 5,993 total yards from scrimmage. “But no, baseball is my first love, always has been. Whatever season it is, that is my my favorite sport at that moment, but I’ve never reconsidered. I thought about it a little, but it never got too far.”
Busher knows one thing. He will never forget what transpired in the fall of 2017 when second-seeded North Hunterdon capped off a magical season with a 21-20 victory over top-seeded Phillipsburg in the title game of the North 2, Group 4 championship at MetLife Stadium, avenging its only loss of the season.
“It was crazy, it’s something I will always remember,” said Busher. “It hasn’t really sunk in completely yet, all that we accomplished. It probably will when we get our rings. I can’t wait for that day because that’s going to be when it really hits me.”
