The real fun begins tomorrow as all brackets for the eight state sectional tournaments will be announced tomorrow.
Our reporters have been following every move throughout the season, but now that Saturday's deadline has passed, it's time to take a look at the projected seeds for the tournament.
The tournament will begin on May 22nd, with the finals scheduled for June 5th and June 6th at South Brunswick High School.
Note: These are not official tournament seeds. They will be released on Monday. This is how NJ Advance Media would seed each tournament if left to the discretion of the writer. These predictions are based on observations and analysis during the season.
