Final podcast & all-area thoughts

Jerry Carino and I will be recording our final podcast today. It should be posted by tomorrow.
Look for a state tournament review and an all-area preview that includes the names of all candidates on a lengthy list considered for coach and player of the year.
The majority of people seem to think they already know who I've selected for both awards. That may or may not be true, but it is irrefutable that there were a wealth of worthy candidates.
The graduating senior class is arguably the most talented top to bottom to go through these parts in a long, long time. There was star power and depth.
Some of the seniors on honorable mention could have been All-Area Second-Team in another season.
I've only covered high school girls hoops for two years, but I've been spoiled with some real top level talent.

Since I have not posted about this yet....congrats to South Plainfield.
The Tigers run to the Group III final was a memorable one. Six seniors who never looked tired and would have played high school basketball until August if you let them.
I've had more than one coach tell me that South Plainfield was the type of athletic, intense, fearless team which could have given Shabazz problems in the section.
That's high praise.
