  1. Appreciate the records but where’s the state cup brackets? Hope all is well and keep muddling through on the HNIB stuff. Tony

  2. Thanks for the brackets. Love to have your take on at-large bids – particularly two schools, Brick Memorial and Montville.

    I can’t see Parsippany or Paul VI getting in if they don’t win today.

    And wouldn’t think Monroe gets one either.

    Any others you think I might be missing?
