NJ.com final top 20:

1-Mountain Lakes (19-2)
2-Delbarton (19-3)
3-Seton Hall Prep (21-2)
4-Manasquan (21-1)
5-Summit (17-3)
6-Montgomery (19-4)
7-Hunterdon Central (17-5)
8-Ridge (17-2)
9-St. Augustine (14-4)
10-Ridgewood (15-3)
11-Moorestown (11-10)
12-Chatham (15-7)
13-Don Bosco Prep (10-9)
14-Shawnee (15-4)

17-Bergen Catholic (10-7)
18-Lenape (16-4)
19-Ramapo (12-7)
20-West Morris (17-3)

IMO lakes and squan won't be a top 5, maybe not even top 10 teams next year. look for rebounds from ridge, central, chatham and delby.

my way early predictions for 2020
4N: Hunterdon Central
4S: Montgomery
3N: Chatham
3S: Moorestown
2N: Summit
2S: Rumson
1N: Lakes (1N is just bad)
1S: Squan
NPA: Delby
NPB: Pingry

anybody have any preseason predictions for this year?

[njlax1234]

I'm thinking:
G1: Glen Ridge
G2: Summit
G3: Chatham
G4: Hunterdon Central
NPa: SHP
NPB: Pingry

South doesn't look that strong this year without Manasquan and maybe Moorestown can make a push for G3

So you are saying only one team that won a state championship in 2019 will repeat? not even the TOC champion? Not buying it, but am not going to make a prediction and jinx my squad. I do think it is going to be a very interesting year. I think the usual suspects will be good again in the publics: Mt Lakes, Summit, Chatham could have a big year, Montgomery should be good. Nonpublic A is really loaded with talent, with all three of the big Bergen teams Bosco, St Joes, and BC being solid. Add St Augustine, Delbarton and Seton Hall and that tournament is going to be very interesting.

[njlax1234]

I don't think the TOC champion is gonna be particularly strong next year. They had an extremely talented 2019 class that carried much of their workload. I'm not saying it'll be a stretch for them to win Group 1, and predicting Glen Ridge may have been going out on a little bit of a limb, but I don't think they'll be able to compete with the big boys again this year. Definitely agree with you on BC and Bosco being stronger this year, but not so sure about St Joes. I'm also not sure if BC and Bosco will be able to compete with Delb, SHP, or st augustine, but as we saw last year anything can happen. I really think Hunterdon Central will be very strong this year and probably the team to beat out of all the publics. That all being said though, it's really hard to tell until we see all these teams out on the field.

i'm pretty sure lakes graduated all 10 starters - but i think they're still a better team then glen ridge. hunterdon central is going to be legit. delby/shp should be lead dogs in the A. who even knows what will happen in the B, it was brutal last year. 2 will most likely be summit - 3 should come down to chatham/moorestown again.

just a matter of time before spring sports get cancelled. what a shame.

[NJlaxfan]

The state has to find a way to play this season once it is safe. What is the downside of a May/ June season?

[Matnum PI]

School will be over by the time they'll be able to play...

[Njlaxx11]

NJSIAA talking about extending seasons - who knows what will happen. Schools aren't going back until May basically, which seems like that won't happen either.

[Surfs_Up]

Have the New York/New Jersey kids been doing online school? Or are you all on break?

Texas kids are doing online and therefore will finish the semester on time.

they've been doing "remote" learning.

first NJ school to do so. i'm assuming it won't be the last.

[Njlaxx11]

NJSIAA stated that if school goes back by 5/25 that they will extend spring sports until 6/30. i'm assuming some sort of abbreviated schedule with a tournament to the sectional level.

Tournament play doubtful.
