Well well well...we have four teams left in the Girls MCT. Who will move the finals? Who will pack their bags? Every team is very deserving of getting this far. HP has been the real deal all season. But can they take down the bigger, badder West Morris Highlanders (which by the way is the best mascot name in the conference). Or will WMC show HP that they their lowly Hills Division is no match for their Iron talent.
Then you have the Evil Empire known as Morris Catholic who has just been demolishing teams all year. Will Chatham be another casualty of MoCath's Dark Side?
The fun starts on Friday Night at FDU. See who we think will be moving closer to the MCT Trophy!!!
6:30pm Hanover Park vs. West Morris Central
Hanover Park's heroin last week was Ashley Addison who battle back from flu symptoms to help the Hornets to move forward to the Final Four of the MCT. I really like HP's chances here not only because they only have one loss all year but because of the play of the whole team. Jenna Wortman has ben terrific all year while Lindsey Singer and Ashley Merwin can be deadly if left alone. Even Beth Esposito has been helpful in drawing fouls at the right time. But I do feel coach Doug Wear will not be able to take the Hornets past WMC. The Highlanders are for real this year and already have their sites on the mighty Morris Catholic. Emily Peel is just one of the most fabulous players in the Iron Hills Conference. And Haley D'Angelo does it all too. She drops three's, draw's fouls and even has a knack for blocking shots. What the Highlanders has that will be the x-factor is their depth. Their bench would be starting on most teams in the league. Julia Scanlon and Alisa Greco and can steal the ball, while Mary Consol and Eleni Kozas have no problem drawing a much needed foul. It's back-up players like Lindsey Sullivan that will wear HP down.
PICK: West Morris Central
8:00pm Morris Catholic vs. Chatham
Julia Moorehead runs the Cahtham offense with ease. She gets a lot of help from key players like Lindsay Atchison and Jenna Dunleavy. What is nice about Chatham is they play like a total team with Annie Weichert who plays both D and O will very nicely and Caroline Murphy who is deadly from all over the court. Cougars Caroline Connors and Sara Cox are brought in to give a breather, but are just as potent as the rest of them...expecially late in the game. But Chatham has not seen a team like Morris Catholic yet. Kathleen Schuckers is one of the finest players in the county. Cara Hurly (Bobby's younger sister) is absolutely money from down town. Amanda Kreuder, Ashley Bays, Jenny Fitzgerald, Jeane Drury and Lily Calo look like they have been playing together since Kindergarden. The x-factor for Morris Catholic? Their secret weapon? Well it's Casey Schuckers...also known as "Lil' Shuck"!
PICK: Morris Catholic

HP all the way. It harkens back to the days of Patty Bacha (Kayes).
Gooooo Hornets!!!
Fakehead, you are gay. Nobody was better in HP history that that girl Joanne (who was also a day camp couselor).
Joanne who? The Breslin girls? They were good. What about Terry Moran? Was the Shumacher girl good or only in softball?
no one from our era was good at hoops. the breslin girls were good. you know that lady Joanne...I think that was her name at least. she looked like a pro bball player. whatever...who cares.
