The Seeding is Saturday. But today I will make a case for each team. Now remember the seeding can be political. The Ocean coaches will vote as a block. Certain Monmouth County coaches stick together like thives in the night.
THE SEEDING CASE
1. SJV
The case for them- Let’s move on
2. RBC
The case for them- Let’s move on
3. St. Rose
The case for them- They have played the best schedule maybe in the state. 9 games vs Top 20. They have more quality wins than everyone not named SJV.
The case against- They split with Manasquan and then lost to IMMACULATE all without Maggie Cavanaugh. If injures are factored in this is a big one
4. Manasquan
The case for them- They split with St Rose and beat Shawnee who split with Trinity Hall. They have beat up on the 2nd tier teams in the Shore for the most part. They have not lost since Lapinski arrived
The case against- They are leaning heavily on the St Rose win who they beat without Maggie Cavanaugh.
5. TRINITY HALL
The Case for them- They could be #4
The case against them- none, they have a quality win over Shawnee to match Ocean’s win over Cherokee and their bad lost is to Saddle River Day.
6. Ocean Twp
The case for- Ranked #15 in the State. They have beaten the brakes off there weaker competition. They have a lost to Shore Reg but crushed them in the rematch. They have a massive quality massive win against Cherokee who was ranked #10
The case against- They have a weak schedule and a lost to Shore Reg
7. TRN
The Case for- the Ocean Coaches will all fight to get them this seed. They played Manasquan to a 4 point game
The Case against- There schedule is by far the weakest of the Top 10 seeds. Zero quality wins. There best win is Jax Memorial. RFH beat Chatham. They are leaning on politics.
8. RFH
The case for them- They have played a tough schedule. In many of those games they staged massive comebacks. Showing they are close. Who has TRN beat?
The Case against them- They and the media have pushed the tough schedule narrative. But they have zero quality wins and a lost to Moore Catholic on the road. Can you really reward a team for just playing good teams?
9. Shore Reg
The Case for them- They beat #15 in the state Ocean
The Case against them- They got blown out against Ocean in a rematch
10. Red Bank Reg
The case for them- They beat Monroe and Wall.
The Case against them- None for this spot
