The battle for the top seed in the Eastern Connecticut Conference girls basketball tournament begins tonight in Norwich and Willimantic.
Both the Waterford and Windham girls have had perfect league records (11-0) so far but one of the toughest tests remaining on the schedule for Waterford takes place tonight. The Lancers travel to Alumni Hall to face the Norwich Free Academy Wildcats. NFA still could have a shot at the top seed and a playdown round bye with a win over Waterford. The Lancers have only one real big test left tonight and it comes at home vs. East Lyme in the last game of the regular season.
Windham begins a tough stretch tonight as they host Bacon but then have to go on the road for games at Stonington, Griswold and Montville, all potential stumbling blocks. Windham is also 11-0 in league play.
Griswold coach Gary Kinel goes for win number 499 tonight when his Wolverines face a much improved Killingly squad in Jewett City. St. Bernard, the number two team in the ECC Small Division, pays a visit to number three, Plainfield. Woodstock, which has already qualified for the ECC and state tournaments, plays a team still struggling to get there, Ledyard, at home tonight in Woodstock.

Kudos for keeping this blog. However, some interesting points in today's version.
You call Killingly "much improved." They've lost 12 straight by an average of 21 per game.
You say Woodstock has already qualified for ECCs and States. They've won three games.
They are playing tonight in Ledyard, not home.
Ledyard, who you say is "still struggling to get there" is one win away from the playoffs -- somewhere they haven't been in 11 years. They've won more games this year than they've won in multiple past seasons combined.
Again, I think it's great that you've got the blog going, but just make sure your facts are in order. That's all.
