I figured with that other State of the Union taking place tonight, why not take a look at the state of Union County as it pertains to girls hoops since we're just about at the halfway point of the season.
My Top 10 in Union County looked like this on Tuesday:
1-Roselle Catholic (11-2)
2-Roselle (11-2)
3-Summit (10-1)
4-Cranford (10-2)
5-Linden (7-5)
6-Plainfield (5-7)
7-New Providence (9-1)
8-Dayton (9-2)
9-Gov. Livingston (6-6)
10-Johnson (7-4)
I think that's a pretty good representation of where things stand right now with the exception of Plainfield, which lost to Union and Johnson, over the last two weeks. Also, you can make a case that a team like New Providence, with just one loss (to R.C.) should be higher, but I think things will play themselves out.
Teams like Union Catholic, Union, Westfield and Oak Knoll are not in the Top 10, but are in that next grouping and will be teams to look out for come tourney time. Oak Knoll (9-4), for instance, has lost to Summit by 3, New Providence by 1 and Roselle by 7. They'll be a team that no one wants to play come February.
I believe the Union County Tournament will be seeded in two weeks on Feb. 10 and contested throughout the rest of the month.
Roselle Catholic bested Plainfield, 55-50, in double overtime to win its first title since 2003 last year. We should be so lucky to get a game that good again in this year's final.
Roselle, which has a county-high 10 game winning streak going, will look to garner some payback when it hosts Roselle Catholic on Friday at 4 p.m. Roselle has suffered both its losses to R.C. this year.
Jess McCoy (20) of Cranford defends against Gabby Clauer (4) of Roselle Park in action on Jan. 22. I decided to do a scoring list and with a cut-off of a minimum of 110 points, so here are the top 32 scorers in Union County through games played of Wednesday, Jan. 27:
