The Bridgewater-Raritan basketball team has moved “down” a division in the Skyland Conference, but it doesn’t mean life will be any easier.
Sure, the Panthers were 7-17 last year, with six of those losses coming to Franklin, Gill St. Bernard’s and Rutgers Prep – the five-, two- and top-seeds – twice each. But in the Raritan Division, there are still some good basketball teams.
Ridge was 20-6 last year, Phillipsburg was 17-9, and Watchung Hills was 14-12. And then there’s tonight’s opponent.
Bound Brook moves up from the Valley Division, where they haven’t lost a game since the January before the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ve won 33 straight against Valley competition, but now find themselves moving up from a grouping where Pingry was the only other squad above .500 last season.
