Sophomore volleyball player Jessica Jean-Mary has been selected as our October Girls Athlete of the Month after an extraordinary stretch of performances that helped propel her team to seven victories, including an NJSIAA State Tournament win and two conference tournament triumphs. Jessica was dominant at the net, recording 147 kills throughout the month and setting both a career-high and school record with 24 kills in a conference tournament win over Northern Burlington. Her all-around game was equally impressive, contributing 13 blocks, 50 digs, and 29 aces to fuel the team’s success.

Jessica’s standout play earned her a well-deserved spot on the BCSL First Team All–CVC Division, making her the only sophomore to receive the honor. It was a truly remarkable month for an athlete whose future continues to shine brighter with every match.

Senior quarterback Ryan Walsh has been named our Boys Athlete of the Month for his outstanding leadership and play throughout October. Serving as a team captain, Ryan helped guide the football program to a strong finish, winning three of their final four games including exciting rivalry victories over WWP United and Allentown. His performance on the field was exceptional, throwing for 798 yards with seven passing touchdowns, while also adding five rushing touchdowns to fuel the team’s momentum. Ryan’s competitiveness, consistency, and poise were instrumental to the team’s success, making him a deserving selection for this honor.

Congratulations to our September Girl's Athlete of the month Arleen Toor representing the Girls Volleyball Team! Arleen has had an outstanding month of September, playing a crucial role in leading the team to a 6-4 record. She has been a consistent leader on the court, recording a team-high 141 assists, along with 41 kills, 37 digs, and 17 aces. Arleen currently ranks 4th in the BCSL in assists, the most important statistic for her position, and 10th in blocks!!!!

According to coach Scheno, "Her impact extends beyond the numbers; Arleen is one of the top players not only in our division but across the entire conference. Her leadership, competitiveness, and steady play have been key to our early-season success, and we would not be nearly as successful without her."

Arleen's other contributions to HHS include Vice President of the Red Cross Club, volunteering as a summer coach at CORE Volleyball Club, and serving as a team manager for the Boys Volleyball Team in the spring. Her hobbies include spending time with her family, reading, and cooking.

Congrats Arleen and keep up the great work for the rest of the fall season!

Congratulations to our September Boys Athlete of the Month Mateo Abad-Delgado! Mateo had an outstanding month of September for the Cross Country team. He first placed 9th out of 296 runners in the Junior race at the Cherokee Challenge with a time that was the 32nd fastest of the 1144 overall runners to race that day. He followed that up by winning the Junior race at the Thompson 2-Miler the next week in a race consisting of 86 junior runners. He ran the 2nd fastest time of the 405 overall runners to race that day.

Mateo just started running cross country last year, after running track the previous three seasons! His plan this season is to make both states and nationals. After high school, Mateo would like to continue his running career in college in either the Carolinas or his home state!

Good luck and keep up it up the rest of the fall Mateo!
