At its meeting on September 24, 2013, the North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District Board of Education named Cory Kent as the new head coach of Baseball at Voorhees High School. Mr. Kent is currently a Social Studies teacher at Voorhees High School.
“I am thoroughly excited to become the new head coach here at Voorhees. I am hoping the lessons I have learned over the course of my career can help our students on and off the field,” stated Mr. Kent on his new position.
Mr. Kent, once named 2008 Baseball Player of the Year by the Express-Times when he played for Wilson Area High School in Easton, PA, comes to Voorhees High School from Lehigh University after an outstanding college career. While at Lehigh University, Mr. Kent was a four-year letter winner, a two-time All Patriot League Player, a two-time All Academic Patriot League Player, and in his senior year, was ranked in the top 15 pitchers in the nation in complete games and earned run average. He has also served as the head pitching coach of the Fayetteville Swampdogs in the Coastal Plains League and as a Graduate Assistant Coach at Lehigh University.
“Voorhees High School is very fortunate to have the opportunity to hire a young coach with such an extensive playing and coaching background. I am sure that Cory will pass on his expertise to the players in our program,” said Al Stumpf, Director of Athletics at Voorhees High School.
Sean Leary, Mr. Kent’s baseball coach at Lehigh University, echoes those sentiments. “Cory was an outstanding student-athlete during his time at Lehigh. His accomplishments on the field and in the classroom were a testament to his work ethic. I am confident that he will set and expect the same standard of excellence from the student-athletes at Voorhees.”
