Kingsway has many incredible athletes that uplift their teams and strive for greatness. With over 20 sports teams, many students participate in sports and uphold the Kingsway legacy. There are a select few, however, who are committed to college for their sport. That means a specific college sought them out to play on their teams. Their outstanding skills on and off the field has led them to be representatives of a college’s sports team. This is a huge athletic accomplishment, and on behalf of the Kingsway district, we would like to congratulate those already committed and the more that follow!

Kingsway’s field hockey team is mpressively ranked #1 in New Jersey and nationally ranked #7. The team is full of amazing players that work effortlessly together, with a total of 5 commits already this year. Seniors Ella Stephenson, Colleen Finnan, and Allie Patel all committed last year. Stephenson will play for Lehigh University, Finnan for Villanova University, and Patel for West Chester University. Marykate Finnan is going to Kent State, and Mary Wordelmann is committed to the University of Louisville. 

Next up, the boys’ baseball team that made it to the South Jersey Group 4 finals last year has three commitments. Last year, senior pitcher Landon Edwards committed to Coastal Carolina University. In early September, Junior catcher Tommy Popoff committed to Binghamton University, and senior RHP, DJ Juliano, committed to Rutgers Camden. 

Lastly, Kingsway has two lacrosse commits. Junior Ally Phalines will be playing for Virginia Tech. She made the first All-Conference team last year. Senior Jake Mason will be at the Air Force Academy. He was was third in the state for goals and was also on the first All-Conference team. 

Congratulations to all the players who committed to furthering their athletic and academic careers. We hope to see all of you succeed and thrive in your sports!
