Hey I was thinking its about halfway through the season and it'd be fun to preview the state tourney since its the 1st year with the new format....

I used all sorts of criteria including

1) Head to Head2) Common Opponents3) League Placement4) Strength of Schedule

I included teams that are under 500 as of now but have a pretty good shot of either making it to 500 or garnering an at large...in parochial there's 1 outside gordon, in public A there is 8 under 500, and public b there are 3.

They will be posted in 3 separate posts because of character length.

Realignment

The Star Ledger gave their best shot at a Realignment Plan, probably taking into consideration the entire state and not just your (or my) school. My guess is that from here on in, no one will be happy and the public schools will end up getting the shaft with all in favor of the private's wishes. Just be careful what you wish for ...

Here's a link to The Star Ledger's take on it:

Spray Powder Shampoo

As a high school athlete, a full time high school student and all around non-stop person, many of you may be flying from practice to SAT courses, work, or maybe just home to have dinner with the family and get started on homework. I know as a coach, there are numerous occasions during the week that I will jump right off the field and head directly to a meeting, a game or maybe just meeting friends for dinner. Obviously the dirt and grim built from all the hard work during practice needed to be removed. Times like that, I wish there was a shampoo like Salon Grafix SPShampoo. This great product is simply applied quickly to the hair. It easily brushes off and leaves no power or flakes behind. There is no oily residue and the look you end up with is shiny and clean.

Now obviously, I have short hair, but this is a great product for people with longer hair who can just simply jump in the shower, and clean off without getting your head wet. The spray shampoo saves you valuable time and gets you on the road quicker and just as effective in much less time.

The bottle is perfect size to keep in your locker at school, in your car for emergencies and even a spare bottle at home. There are not enough hours in the day for today’s student athlete and this product is just simply useful, fast and efficient, not to mention healthy and clean.

You’ve been there, practice ends and you are heading to your SAT course … you cannot be late. You do not want to miss valuable earning time, not to mention a few minute to replenish your energy with a proper meal. Right there … a bottle of shampoo, Salon Grafix SPShampoo, would be better than using that valuable time blow drying your hair. For some of you, this product is quite useful as they have specific products for your hair color. They have Spray Powder Shampoo for Brown, blonde, black and even silver … heck, coaches need to rush place too!
