MCT Hoops Predictions (Girls & Boys)

Well, well, well...here we are at the MCT Quarter Finals. What can I say? No suprises yet, except for Roxbury's defeat over HP. I really thought HP would be able to pull that off. But maybe Roxbury has something to prove. Well, if they can beat Delby this weekend, then they have my attention. Until then, they are this far by mistake. If that upsets Roxbury, than prove me wrong.


Also, you need to take note that Mendham's Rob Berish has been polishing himself up for the MCT Tourney by dropping a league high 42 points in a Tuesday Night regular season matchup.

As for the rest of the teams, no suprises. The girls B-ball has even gotten my attention. My new favorite girl b-baller is Noonan from Parsippany. She is all skill and no frills!

Well, that is enough gibber jabber, lets get right to it:

MCT Quarterfinals(at Randolph H.S.)


Roxbury vs. Delbarton, noon
Roxbury did a nice job by knocking off a pretty good HP team. But they will be no match for Father Paddy O'Sullivan and the rest of the Green Wave.
PICK: Delby

Morris Hills vs. Chatham, 5
Love this match-up. Adam Katz has the guts and the heart to pull this one off for Morris Hills. But they just have been too shakey, and I have stuck my neck out for MoHills too many times this year. Plus, Billy Oliver and the Chatham Cougars are just playing great.
PICK: Chatham

Mountain Lakes vs. Mount Olive, 2
Mountain Lakes has been having a nice run. But Russell Holloway could care less. He will put on a spectacle as he takes his Maraurders to an easy win.
PICK: Mt. Olive

Morristown-Beard vs. Mendham, 7:30
This has the making of a really good game. Both teams really match up terrifically together. Colin Larmond Jr. has been too distracted this week while officially signing his letter of intent to B.C. as a wide receiver. But while he was doing that, Mendham's Rob Berish was dropping a league high 42 points in regular season play. Between Berish and Marky Mark Cisco, I don't see Beard getting past this round.
PICK: Mendham



Girls basketballMCT Quarterfinals(at Morris Knolls H.S.)

Mount Olive vs. Chatham, noon
Mt. Olive has gusto and the ability to play well in this tournament. But Julia Moorehead and Lindsay Atchison have been rolling lately.
PICK: Chatham

Parsippany vs. West Morris, 1:30
Parsippany's Elena Noonan has earned a spot in our "favorite player of the week" category for her guts. She just plays really tough and I think she is a real gamer. But the problem is she needs the rest of her team to step up. But they will need a real miracle because Lindsay Sullivan, Eleni Kozas and Emily Peel gel like nobodies business.
PICK: West Morris

Morris Knolls vs. Hanover Park, 3
Jaclyn Bertos and Brynn Abrahamsen can work magic for the Knolls. But there is no better tandum in the league than HP's Ashley Addison and Jenna Wortmann. Coach Wear has brought HP's Girls Hoops back!
PICK: HP

Boonton vs. Morris Catholic, 4:30
Boonton's Carly Foesel, Jen Hesse and Cynthia Shanahan do have what it takes to take down the mighty Morris Catholic. They also have the coolest mascot name in the state in the Bombers. But behind Lily Calo, Jeane Drury and Jenny Fitzgerald Morris Catholic is an amazing 21-0. There is no way the Bombers pull this one off. Plus, I am not stupid to pick an upset over an undfeated team like that.
PICK: MoCath
