1) Why do teams enter holiday tournaments with other teams from their conference/division? It doesn't make sense. Don't you see enough of these teams during the regular season? Why is Bernards playing Mount St. Mary in a final when they play twice during the regular season? Same with Dunellen and Middlesex, who play once in the regular season and likely again in the Central Jersey Group I sectional tournament. There are plenty of tournaments around the state to enter that you do not need to settle for familiar foes. Follow the lead of Bound Brook (which traveled to Maryland) or South Hunterdon (which challenged itself against the likes of New Egypt, Keyport and Lindenwold).
2) Hunterdon Central might be in a different class than every other team in the Skyland Conference and the area. I have not seen the Red Devils yet, but I have seen 14 teams and none are putting up the kind of results they are. My number two and three ranked teams -- Piscataway and Rutgers Prep -- already have had squeakers this season while Central is winning easily on the way to the semifinals of a very competitive 16-team Brick Memorial Tournament.
3) Gill St. Bernard's is legitimate. We learned that last weekend when Gill beat Montgomery. Today's game against New York power Bishop Ford should be interesting. If I had to pick right now, I would say Rutgers Prep and Gill have a 50 percent chance of facing each other in the Somerset County Tournament final.
4) Don't sleep on Mount St. Mary. The Mount Lions, led by 2005 Courier News Coach of the Year Jim Vopal, are 5-0 and winning close games. Senior leadership will do that for you.
5) Bridgewater-Raritan is better than its record shows. Being tied with Piscataway in the final seconds is something for this very young team to build off.
Here are some players that caught my attention this week: Courtney Woodard (Plainfied), Shauna Mulkerin (Immaculata), DreShonda Williams (Piscataway), Taylor Jeffers (Franklin), Amy Evanylo (Manville), Blaire Houston (South Plainfield), Lindsay Darvin (Benards), Gabby O'Leary (Westfield).

Went to the Hunterdon Central vs. Watchung Hills game tonight and I'm so glad I did. It was a really good game to watch - pretty much could have gone either way. I was pleasantly suprised by WH. I think Central has some amazing players and I had really expected them to win based on what I had been hearing, but WH seemed to want the win more. Like you said at the beginning of the season, there is alot of parity this year. It's going to be interesting to see who ends up on top in February.
Ryan, I was right with you regarding HC and still think they are an incredible team, but clearly you have underestimated Watchung Hills.
