This is what you would have to call playing an away game at home.
Ledyard boys basketball coach Jeff Brown went back to work at Norwich Free Academy last night, he just couldn't go into his office.
Brown, you see, is not only the Ledyard varsity coach but a physical education teacher at NFA as well. That means his office is the one the basketball coaches use during game time.
"It's tough," Brown laughed when we talked about it prior to the Colonels game with the Wildcats last night. "But it's exciting too because I know all the (NFA) players and they all razzed me a bit about it but it was all in good fun- it's a good atmosphere."
Brown said he had no plans to go near his office, didn't even bring his keys with him.
Brown almost brought an upset with him as the Colonels played a never-say-die game and fought back from a couple of large deficits to make it close at the end. A couple of ill-timed turnovers ended their upset bid.
