SPARTA — August was a big month for Sparta native Justin Scheid. He was voted to be inducted into the Sussex County Hall of Fame and got engaged to his high school sweetheart Jessica Monico.

Scheid and Monico are both 2004 graduates of Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta.

“It was a big month,” Scheid said. “(Being selected) did surprise me. I definitely enjoyed having being nominated.”
