TEAM OF THE YEAR: A loss to Pope John in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament just as North Hunterdon seamed to be hitting its stride could have derailed the Lions’s season. Instead, the Hunterdon County squad rebounded and made sure the season was one of the best in school history. With X leading the way, North Hunterdon went 24-5 on the year, which included a North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 title win over Bridgewater-Raritan and then knocking off Morris Knolls in the Group 4 semifinals. Egg Harbor held off North Hunterdon, 2-1, in the Group 4 final, but the Lions nonetheless proved they were the best team in the highly competitive Skyland Conference.
