Remember Girls Basketball???

I do.
Though it's hard for me to think about anything other than minor-league baseball between April and October, I just heard that Governor Livingston High School has hired a new girls basketball coach. Former New Providence football start Andy Silvagni is the man, according to what I've heard.
Two things interesting here:
1) It's interesting anytime that someone from New Prov gets a job at GL or vice versa. Their rivalry already is good in almost every sport and you know that coach wants to beat his alma mater that much more.
2) Dave Boff did a great job rebuilding the Highlanders program the past four years. The team was good for 15 to 20 wins in both my years on the beat. Can Silvagni keep that momentum going? We'll see this winter, but one thing working in his favor: Star guard Lauren Munick has another season to play. A good building block for any rookie coach.

Unfortunately, GL and New Providence do NOT play each other in girls basketball. Dave did do a wonderful job during his three seasons at GL and with Munick back as a likely all County senior, they will win more than 15 next season............
