Blue Devils Caught Fire, Won Section Crown, Finished 23-8
Turning up the volume at the right time really paid off for the Westfield High School girls basketball team this season. Due to stiff competition from the start, the Blue Devils were making noise with some key earlyseason victories, placed second in the Union County Tournament (UCT) but in the post season, they really got into the rhythm to win their second-straight North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 title and avenge a loss from the previous year to win the Group 4 semifinal before bowing to No. 6 Lenape for the Group 4 crown.
