The Somerset County Tournament seeding meeting is one of the earliest -- if not THE earliest -- in the state.

The Hunterdon/Warren Tournament cutoff date is this weekend. Coaches have to fax their team's records in by Monday. The Hunterdon/Warren final is actually a week earlier than the Somerset County final. Of course, Hunterdon/Warren has just 10 schools compared to the 16 for Somerset.

Preliminary games for Hunterdon/Warren are next weekend. The championship game is set for HealthQuest Park (Cust Baseball Academy) in Raritan Township on May 18 at 7:15. Phillipsburg is the defending champion. The Liners beat Warren Hills last year. Warren Hills, which won the year before, snapped Hunterdon Central's run of titles from 2001-04.

The Union County Tournament seeding meeting is a week from Monday. Westfield is the defending champion. The Blue Devils beat Roselle Catholic last year. Roselle Catholic won the title the year before.
