North Hunterdon\u00a0junior quarterback Matt Busher knows what it takes to compete at a high level. As a two-sport athlete, who spends his springs on the baseball diamond as a pitcher and catcher, Busher is accustomed to taking command of the game regardless of the sport he is playing.<\/p>\n

While some student-athletes may take command and lead their peers with inspiring words, Busher is more of a \u201clead by example guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not the most vocal guy on the practice field,\u201d Lions coach Jared Mazetta said. \u201cThe players just gravitate toward\u00a0him because of what he has been able to do on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week in North Hunterdon\u2019s 31-22 victory over Immaculata, Busher completed 13-of-27 passes for 144 yards and one touchdown and added two more scores as he accumulated 73-yards on the ground.<\/p>\n

For his exceptional play, Busher was \u00a0named the Courier News Football\u00a0Player of the Week.<\/p>\n

On the field this season, the 6-foot, 175-pound quarterback has accounted for 12 total touchdowns with 426\u00a0passing yards and 339\u00a0rushing yards.\u00a0His duel-threat ability helped\u00a0seventh-ranked North Hunterdon (3-1)\u00a0earn three-straight road wins, none more impressive than the Mid-State 38 Raritan Division, Courier News Top 10 showdown against No. 9 Immaculata.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
