If you're wondering who is the best team in the Eastern Connecticut Conference when it comes to girls basketball this season, join the crowd.
Windham certainly is in the mix after their fourpoint, 54-50, win over Norwich Free Academy late yesterday afternoon.
The Whippets, thanks to their tenacity, team speed and depth, should be right in the thick of things come late February. Waterford appears to be the front runner right now with Windham and NFA on their heels. You can't count out Stonington due to Heather Buck in the middle and a team like Montville could surprise some people.
It's a lean week overall in high school athletics and that's not only due to the holiday, you can blame the mid-term exam schedule for a light Tuesday night of games. The schedule really doesn't pick up again until Friday.
There are a couple of good local rivalries playing themselves out tonight as Putnam takes on Plainfield and Bacon Academy meets Lyman in girls hoops.
