Two student-athletes from North Babylon High School recently committed to
continuing their sports at the college level. Congratulations to Jayshon Hines who will be
wrestling at Northwest Kansas Tech and Colin Rhein who signed with Stony Brook
University to play baseball.
Hines is a four-year varsity wrestler who has been named All-League three times,
All-County two times and All-State. Last season, Hines qualified for the New York State
championship, where he finished in third place. At a national tournament in Myrtle Beach,
Hines became an All-American. While wrestling at Northwest Kansas Tech, Hines plans on
studying to be an electrician.
This season, Rhein was named an All-League and All-County baseball player. He was
also selected as one of Newsday’s Top 100 Baseball Players and an Axcess Baseball
Preseason Player to Watch. In Rhein’s last start this season, he pitched a complete game,
two-hit shutout, breaking a school record of 17 strikeouts.
The district congratulates Hines and Rhein and wishes them success as they
continue their athletic careers!
