John Stevens has helped lead Northwestern to an
18-0 Berkshire League record and 20-0 overall.

Northwestern is the only undefeated team in the state, ranked 14th in the latest New Haven Register poll a midst a slew of Class LL schools.

It’s not the competition; the Berkshire League’s top echelon provides plenty of that.

It’s just that the Highlanders feature gears that other teams can’t control.

Pressure to stay undefeated? Call it inspiration instead.

Prediction: Northwestern

Gilbert has shown this season that when there playing their best basketball, few teams can take them down. 

The Yellowjackets feature the number one scorer in the Berkshire League with Robert Skinner who averaged 21.7 point per game this season and Luis Cordova who averaged 15 points leading their backcourt. 

Both Skinner and Cordova can reek havoc on any defense with their ability to knock down shots and the speed to drive past defenders.

Factor in strong post play from Marc Collins and key shots from Alex Brunoli, Gilbert has the best chance to take home the Berkshire League Tournament crown March 1st.

The Berkshire League's top three teams this year, Northwestern, Terryville and Gilbert all have played excellent basketball this season. 

They all have stud players on their teams, John Stevens for Northwestern,is arguably the best overall player in the Berkshire League averaged 18.5 points per-game this season.

Gilbert has Robert Skinner who is the best scorer in the Berkshire League with 21.7 points per-game and has the ability to take over games at will.

Then there is Terryville with the youngest of the three, junior Tyler Trillo. This kid can flat out score at will, averaging 21.1 points per-game this season.

Tyler Trillo, is the anchor that has helped lead Terryville
 to the second-seed in the Berkshire League Tournament.

I have seen all three of these teams play each other this season and when either of the three are on it gets fun to watch.

With that in mind, I will go with the younger of the three players. Terryville will not only win the Berkshire League Tournament but in doing so they will put the whole Berkshire League on watch for next season.

Prediction: Terryville
