MANSFIELD — Mapleton head coach Nick Hickey, who will be the North coach in the 46th News Journal All-Star Classic, has never seen Kyevi Roane play a single minute of basketball in person.

The only time he has ever seen the Mansfield Senior Tyger senior on the court was in highlights or short clips on film. And yet, when Hickey won the coin toss to select whether he wanted the first overall pick in the NJ Classic draft or take Nos. 2 and 3, he didn't hesitate.

Hickey selected the Tyger with the first overall pick making him the sixth Mansfield Senior player selected No. 1 in the 21 years of the NJ Classic Draft and the first since Mario Young went No. 1 in 2016.

"I have never seen him play in person, but I have seen some film on him when I catch a highlight of something," Hickey said. "But you can tell he is a special athlete and a special ball player."

Hickey went with Roane over 21 other players who were up for selection. He was already awarded his son, Scott who is averaging 26 points per game and is the program's all-time leading scorer at Mapleton, as coaches who participate in the Classic automatically get their own players. So, when he could snag a point guard averaging more than 15 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game, he jumped at the perfect player to orchestrate an offense that could challenge the single-game scoring record of 150 points.

"It means a lot to know out of 21 great ball players around the area and my name to be the first brought up means a lot to me and my family," Roane said. "And I want to thank the coaches who picked me also. It’s pretty cool to be that guy that gets their name called first in something like this with lots of great talent and ball players."

Hickey may be at Mapleton, a member of the Firelands Conference, now, but he isn't ignorant to the history at Mansfield Senior. A 1996 Ashland grad, Hickey is well versed on Tyger basketball and knows Roane is a historic figure in the program after he reached the 1,000-career-point milestone earlier in the season.

"Being an Ashland grad and playing a lot of ball over this way growing up, I know how phenomenal that Mansfield Senior history is," Hickey said. "As far as Ohio basketball is concerned, it is a hotbed for great athletes and great basketball players so we knew we couldn't go wrong picking Kyevi No. 1."

Roane reminds him of some of the guys he played against back in the Tygers' hay day.

"Oh I played against Jerry Moton and Sean Tucker and that group," Hickey said. "They were so good and Marquis (Sykes) was a youngster coming up when I was playing. To know Kyevi has scored more points than all of those guys just speaks to how special he is."

It also helped to have some influential voices in Hickey's ear. Christian Langston, a 2014 Ashland grad, is on Hickey's staff at Mapleton along with legendary coach and former NJ Classic skipper, Walter Harrop. Harrop coached the North team in the 1989 All-Star Classic when he was the head coach at Ashland and also spent time leading the Crestview program in the 1990s.

But when Hickey won the coin flip, he looked right at Langston and allowed him to make the first pick.

"Christian knows talent," Hickey said. "He still plays a lot and runs a lot of men's leagues so he sees a lot of guys from the area who can really go. He knew right away. He told me if we get the No. 1 pick, it's a no-brainer."

And how special Roane is was on full display in a 94-88 double-overtime win over Wooster Triway last week when he posted a rare triple-double with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists. An All-Star classic has had many double-doubles with points and rebounds but it has never had a triple-double in the game's 46-year history. The assists record is 10 set by Lexington's Joey Zahn in 2016 so Roane has his sight set on doing something no one has ever done.

"It wasn’t a goal until I saw I can do it and that is gonna be a goal of mine every night I step on the floor knowing that I am capable of that," Roan said. "So yeah I’m gonna try to get that record in the all-star game for sure."

It may not feel as sweet as it did in a Tyger uniform, but Roane would relish in the feat if he happens to do it in the Classic.

"A triple-double feels good," Roan said. "It feels to me that I dominated every aspect of the game and I can be happy with that. It's something to be happy about and it’s rare but I just want to shout out my guys for trusting me the way that they do. They put so much trust in me and I put trust in them and that’s where the brotherhood starts to come in. Just trusting each other and being there for one another and I couldn’t have done it without my guys."

As the only Tyger in this year's NJ Classic, he will have to rely on some unfamiliar faces to pull off the feat. But with the confidence his new coach has in him, Roane is going to put on a show that won't soon be forgotten.

Intersection Accidents in New Jersey

Accidents at intersections, such as Friday’s collision at Route 57 and Waters Road in Mansfield Township, are a persistent safety concern across New Jersey. Intersections where rural highways meet local roads can be particularly hazardous, with risks heightened by differences in speed limits, driver attention levels, and the availability of clear sightlines.

Route 57 serves as a major regional corridor, and accidents in this area often result in moderate to severe injuries, especially during morning commuting hours when traffic is heaviest. Factors such as distracted driving, failure to yield, and unpredictable traffic movements frequently contribute to intersection crashes in rural and semi-rural parts of the state.

To help reduce intersection-related accidents, local and state officials stress the importance of defensive driving practices, strict observance of posted traffic signs, and reduced speeds when approaching crossing points. Drivers are also reminded to remain vigilant for sudden stops, unexpected turns, and slower-moving traffic at intersections like Route 57 and Waters Road.

For victims injured in intersection crashes, timely medical treatment and reliable legal advice are essential steps toward recovery and protecting long-term well-being.

Mansfield, NJ (May 7, 2025) – A two-vehicle accident with injuries was reported Wednesday evening on Allen Rd in the area of Donaldson’s Farm in Mansfield Township. The crash occurred at approximately 8:24 p.m. and prompted a response from local emergency services.

According to first responders, both vehicles sustained visible damage, and at least one person was injured in the crash. EMS teams provided care on the scene before transporting the injured party to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. The nature and extent of the injuries have not been officially confirmed.

The collision took place on a rural stretch of Allen Rd near the well-known Donaldson’s Farm, an area that, while scenic, often features limited lighting and narrow lanes. The accident briefly disrupted local traffic as responders worked to assist victims and clear the roadway.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the collision. Early reports suggest common rural-road risks such as reduced visibility, lack of shoulder space, or failure to yield could have played a role. No charges or citations have been announced at this time.

We send our best wishes to all those injured and hope for a smooth and full recovery.

Rural Road Collisions in Warren County

Crashes in rural areas like Mansfield Township often present unique challenges. Roads like Allen Rd—especially near agricultural landmarks—can feature sharp curves, minimal lighting, and inconsistent traffic patterns that contribute to the risk of collisions. Two-vehicle crashes on these roads are frequently the result of limited visibility, distracted driving, or unsafe passing.

According to the New Jersey Department of Transportation, injury crashes on rural roads tend to be more severe due to higher travel speeds and longer emergency response times. Victims may face extended recovery periods, higher medical costs, and difficulties managing insurance and legal claims—particularly if emergency care is delayed.

Getting prompt medical attention, documenting the scene, and understanding your rights are critical steps in the aftermath of such a crash. With the proper support, victims can take control of their recovery and secure the resources they need.
