Essex County kicked off this week’s run of county and conference tournaments across N.J., beginning on Wednesday and then ending with Seton Hall Prep, No. 19 in the NJ.com Top 20, seeing six champions en route to the title on Thursday.

Until then, here’s the last wave of our county/conference tournament previews, featuring Burlington, GMC, Mercer, Morris and the Shore Conference.
