The final week of the high school softball season is on tap, which means it’s time for The Trentonian to wrap up its coverage before swinging into the summer travel ball mode. In addition to stories on the handful of games still to be played, The Trentonian’s All-Area team and final ratings will be published a week from Saturday on June 14. Our All-Colonial Valley Conference team will also appear shortly after the season is finished.

The late example occurred on Monday night when Northern Burlington defeated Lawrence, 4-2 in a C.J. 3 quarterfinal.
