Danny DeLusant – Central Jersey Sports Radio

One sport, all year-round.

Whether it’s AAU ball or summer baseball leagues, student-athletes focusing on just one sport have become increasingly common over the years.

That’s not the case at North Hunterdon High School.

Runningback Alex Uryniak is a wrestler, too. So is wide receiver Danny DeLusant. Runningback Kente Edwards runs track. Quarterback Luke Martini plays basketball and baseball.

All are standouts for the Lions, and highly successful in all the sports they play. And they’re a win away from bringing North Hunterdon a third sectional championship in football, and their second in six years.

In other words, though football is winding down, the scholastic sports season is just starting for these guys, and they are as loose and fresh as ever.

They’ll need to be for the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 title game Saturday at noon in Annandale, where the top-seeded Lions (10-1) take on second-seed Randolph (9-1) for a trip to the Group 4 statewide semifinals, and a shot at the NJSIAA’s first-ever true state championship game at Rutgers the first week of December.

You can hear Saturday’s game on Central Jersey Sports Radio, with pregame set for approximately 11:40 am. Click here to listen.

North Hunterdon is 2-1 in state finals, winning in 1975 and 2017, dropping the title game in 1978. Randolph is 7-5 all-time, but won the bulk of theirs in an eight-year span, from 1983-1990. They won the first in 1983, then won five straight from 1986 through 1990. They lost each of the next four years, and won another in 2010, but they have not been back to the finals since.
