Though the high school sports calendar has entered the lull between the end of the fall season and start of winter, a number of Warren County alums have starter their collegiate winter seasons.

Here’s a brief look at how some of those seasons have started.

DJ Hahn (Warren/Cal U of PA basketball)

Hahn enters her senior season as a major contributor for a loaded Vulcans team. Cal was a preseason No. 2 in the PSAC coaches poll and is off to a 2-0 start to the year. In 41 minutes off the bench during the weekend MEC vs PSAC series, Hahn scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and had four steals. Cal looks for its third win Wednesday against Virginia Union.

Eason has had a strong start to the year for the Golden Knights. He had first place finishes in the 50 free, 200 free relay and 200 medley relay against Clarion, and was part of the first place 200 free, 400 free, 200 medley and 400 medley relay teams at the Allegheny Invitational. Eason has also posted PSAC qualifying times in the 50 free and 100 free.

Beyer has made an immediate impact in his first year with the Golden Knights. He joined Eason on the winning 200 free relay team against Clarion. Beyer has also posted at least two PSAC qualifying times at every meet this season. Those times have come in the 200 IM, 100 back, 200 back and 400 IM.
