Zanai Jones, who has already signed her scholarship letter to Big East power Villanova, returns for her final season at Hudson Catholic
The Hudson Catholic High School girls’ basketball team had a fantastic season a year ago, but then suffered a tough loss to Bayonne in the Hudson County Tournament championship game.

Volunteers at Harrogate Town are swapping footballs for brushes to help kick Covid-19 to the side-lines. The volunteers are painting the club with ‘next-generation’ paint developed by leading scientists in Yorkshire.
Like any paint, SteriCoat upgrades tired surfaces and is available in any colour, but crucially it is an anti-viral, high performance self-sanitizing paint that performs 24/7.
It’s also non-toxic and eco-friendly. The sustainable solution uses cutting edge water-borne technology, which helps reduce carbon footprint and the need for aggressive alcohol-based cleaners.
Helping to future proof businesses, it is proven to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses, including Coronavirus.
