Colon reaches 300th Career Victory for Hudson Catholic
Hudson Catholic HC Fernando Colon has been the only girls’ volleyball coach in school history. The school went co-ed in 2008 and he was brought on to start a team from scratch. He has risen this school not just into a quality team but a state powerhouse.
This past week, he reached a milestone by reaching his 300th career victory. The moment was that much greater as the milestone was reached on Hudson Catholic’s senior day. No. 11 Hudson Catholic defeated Dickinson 25-16, 25-13. Ironically, Dickinson was where Colon played. The volleyball world came full-circle for Colon in a special moment for himself and his players.
White hits 100th Career Victory for J.P. Stevens
Head Coach Anthony White reached his own milestone as well. White got his 100th victory as the girls volleyball coach in dominating fashion for J.P. Stevens.
Stevens took down Old Bridge 25-15, 25-20. In his seventh season, White has turned Stevens in a regular top 20 team. He presently has JP Stevens at No.13 and they have become regular contenders to win the Greater Middlesex Conference. White is the boys’ volleyball coach as well.
Lyndhurst ends 10-year drought over Secaucus
Lyndhurst has been a great team this season with a 9-1 overall record. However, they still had one mountain to climb and conquer which was their arch-rival in Secaucus. The team came in motivated as they had already fallen to Secaucus earlier in the year. The team had not beaten Secaucus in 10 years! They match up twice a year and Lyndhurst knew this was the final obstacle.
The team ended up putting together their best performance of the season winning 25-14, 25-22. The team was flawless in all facets and you could see that a giant boulder had been lifted off of their shoulders. It was a monumental moment for this school and now Lyndhurst has larger aspirations for the rest of the season.
