NJS.com CENTRAL OFFICES -- Welcome to The NJS.com Audio Spotlight.

Joining us today are Mickey and Shooter Hunt, the father and son attached to Ramapo High School. Mickey is the head baseball coach and assistant to Joe DelBuono during the hoops season. Shooter is a 2005 graduate who was a standout basketball player (who scored 33 points in the 2005 Group 3 state semifinals) when he wasn't dominating on the baseball diamond.

Shooter was the 2005 Gatorade Player of the Year in New Jersey, transferred to Tulane after a season at the University of Virginia and was drafted 31st by the Minnesota Twins in the 2008 Major League Baseball draft. Shooter, a right-handed pitcher, will be in big league spring training in a couple of months, but not before stopping by to update us on life as a newly minted professional baseball player.

We talk old school North Jersey hoops, baseball memories and future plans and a little bit about the upcoming hoops season that Ramapo will kick off on Friday night when it pays a visit to Old Tappan.
