Breeding, a guard/forward for Coach Jordan Hirsh’s basketball team at Henrick Hudson, has been a member of the varsity team for three years. Last year, Breeding was a member of the team that went onto the Section 1 Quarterfinals in Class A and was named All League by fellow coaches.
Hershman, a faceoff specialist for Coach Craig Solomon’s lacrosse team at Hendrick Hudson, has been a member of the varsity lacrosse team since 10th grade. He was named an All Section faceoff midfielder last year by Section 1 coaches, as Hershman is one of the premier faceoff specialists in the region.

“Jesse, Jared, and Mike have been a true pleasure to watch,” said proud Athletic Director Tom Baker. “All three have grown into fine young men, and they are developing the leadership skills that will make them productive citizens. I really can’t wait to follow each of them as they move on to the next level. They have made Hen Hud proud!”
