High school basketball: Causby announced as Cox Mill coach

Published 3:35 pm Thursday, April 17, 2025

Staff report

SPENCER — The basketball odyssey for Jason Causby took another interesting turn on Wednesday when he was announced as the new head boys coach of the Cox Mill Chargers.

Former Rowan AD Brad Hinson, now the Cox Mill AD, announced the hire after an extensive search and interview period.

Causby will be the assistant coach for the West team in this summer’s East-West All-Star Game. He has coached 298 varsity boys basketball wins, with 291 of those coming in Rowan County. He is second on Rowan’s all-time coaching wins list for boys basketball, behind only former West Rowan coach Mike Gurley.

A modern and still relatively new Concord school, Cox Mill, is currently a member of the 4A Greater Metro Conference and will be competing in a 6A/7A league when the new realignment kicks in this fall. Cox Mill has been a state power, at times, but was  12-14 in the 2024-25 season.

Causby is a West Rowan graduate who got his first varsity coaching opportunity at Salisbury High. He coached six seasons, with five winning teams, including a 28-2 powerhouse.

Causby left Salisbury for North Hills Christian School and coached a year there with some success (14 wins) before returning for another run at Salisbury. He coached there for four more seasons, the best of which was 15-10, as the talent level had declined a bit from the peak years.

In 10 seasons — including both stints — at Salisbury, Causby’s record was 157-111.

His next stop was in Mecklenburg County at Mallard Creek. That team started woefully at 0-9 but finished 7-17.

Causby then returned to Rowan County when he was hired by North Rowan. His first Cavaliers team was his best one. That was a 28-3 squad, and the next season, North followed up with 22-8.

A 6-6 COVID season came next.

Causby coached his seventh season at North in 2024-25 with an 18-11 team and posted a record of 120-62 for his time in Spencer.

Causby’s teams at Salisbury, North Hills and North Rowan were 291-186, winning 61 percent of the time.

The final Friday of the 2025 spring regular season didn’t disappoint, delivering dramatic finishes, re-written record books, and plenty of pristine performances.

It was also bracket release day for the MIAA boys’ and girls’ team tennis tournaments, which begin on Tuesday. Everything you need to know:

▪ Boys’ tennis tournament full brackets, seeds, key dates, and storylines

▪ Girls’ tennis tournament full brackets, seeds, key dates, and storylines

And Friday’s roundups: Scoreboard | Baseball | Softball | Boys’ lacrosse | Girls’ lacrosse | Boys’ volleyball

1. Milestones

We’ve posted our share of gaudy strikeout numbers this year, but this is a new one: Bedford senior Alyx Rossi, who is committed to Boston College, struck out 15 in a 4-0 win over Tyngsborough (wait, that’s not it yet) . . . pushing her over 900 career whiffs in her four-year career, which began with two seasons at Austin Prep before spending the last two with the Buccaneers.

Over at Bishop Feehan, senior Cooper Masso showed he’s fully recovered from offseason shoulder surgery by potting a program single-game record 11 goals in a 21-4 victory against North Attleborough.

A school record fell at BC High as well, where junior Ben Cleary delivered 26 kills to beat Medfield, 3-0, surpassing the single-season program record of 304 kills and finishing the regular season with 321. He’s also the fastest in program history to 500 career kills. Woburn senior captain Marcio Castro also reached 300 kills this season (303 to be exact) with a total of 48 this week.

Nashoba Tech senior Amber King notched her 500th career save while making seven stops in a 7-4 loss to Greater Lowell, Malden senior Jeslyn San scored her 200th career goal in a 16-7 win over Everett, Newburyport senior Colin Fuller (goal, 4 assists) netted his 200th career point in a 13-9 win over Ipswich, Medway senior outfielder Katie Anderson collected her 100th career hit in an 8-4 loss to Millbury, Wakefield junior Seamus Cable (2 goals, 2 assists) reached 100 points on the season in a 13-4 win over Manchester Essex, and Whittier Tech senior Kyle DiCredico reached a pair of round numbers, scoring his 100th career goal and registering his 100th point of the season during a seven-goal, four-assist performance to beat Northeast, 21-2.

2. Walkoff wins

Technically, it wasn’t a walkoff, but Cece Levrault’s goal with three seconds left to give Apponequet an 11-10 win over Cape Cod Academy might as well have been. Sophomore Kaeden Ryan netted a true walkoff lacrosse goal when he scored with 26 seconds left in overtime to give Lincoln-Sudbury a 6-5 win over defending Division 2 champion Longmeadow.

And on the diamond, Mansfield sophomore Darrian Sanders lofted a walkoff sacrifice fly to beat Milton, 6-5, in eight innings.

Two late-night walk offs were late additions: Hopkinton’s Nick Pedroli rapped out the winning hit for the Hillers in the first round of the Rich Pedroli Classic, beating Natick 9-8 to set up a matchup with defending champion Franklin in the final. North Attleborough got a big RBI from Lucas Crovo in the bottom of the eighth to walk off Bishop Feehan, 4-3.

3. Going, going, gone

It was a quiet day in the power department, except for the Reading softball team, which saw Ava Kiley, Ellie Russo, and Grace Costa all go deep. It was a similar story for Chelmsford, which got long bombs from Jenna Nigro and Adrianna Capozzi, while Newton South’s Lila Coull added a round-tripper.

Newton North has promoted John McNamara to its head boys’ basketball coaching position. A member of the schools’ 2005 state championship team as a senior, McNamara has spent the last 16 years coaching in the program, from freshmen to JV to varsity assistant.

McNamara takes over a Tigers program that has reached the Division 1 final twice in the past four seasons.

“I’m incredibly honored and excited to take on this role,” McNamara said in a statement. “As a former player and long-time coach here, this program means everything to me. I look forward to building on our recent success and continuing to develop a culture of hard work, accountability, and pride in being a Newton North Tiger.”

McNamara replaces Paul Connolly, who stepped down after 24 seasons and 456 wins in March.

“We are thrilled to have John step into this role,” said Newton North athletic director Mike Jackson in a statement. “His dedication, basketball knowledge, and commitment to our students make him the ideal choice. We are excited for John and the future of Newton North Basketball for many years to come.”

7. Commitment central

Brewster Academy’s Sebastian Wilkins, who hails from Canton and started his high school career at Lawrence Academy, announced committed to play basketball at Duke during a YouTube ceremony Friday.

Wilkins, a 6-foot-8-inch wing, will also reclassify from the Class of 2026 to the Class of 2025 to enroll this fall at Duke, which he chose over Maryland.

“Duke has always been my dream school,” said Wilkins, a four-star recruit.

Six-foot-9-inch Shawsheen forward Matt Breen will be suiting up for Assumption next winter, he announced on social media. Breen averaged 18 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game as a senior and topped 1,000 points in his high school career.

8. A worthy cause

Wellesley athletic director John Brown is raising money and awareness for Huntington’s disease as the Battling Brown’s Team will take part in the HDSA Team Hope Walk at Castle Island on June 7.

The cause is personal for Brown, whose wife, Jennifer, battles the disease. Those interested in helping can donate here or join the walk.

Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain.
