It doesn't really matter what sport you're into, there's probably a local team playing it this weekend.
Basketball, gymnastics and wrestling all have some big events taking place tonight. The Eastern Connecticut Conference girls basketball championship takes place beginning at 7 p.m. tonight at Norwich Free Academy. Host NFA, the second seed, will play Waterford for the title once again. Check out a complete preview of tonight's game in the Norwich Bulletin or online.
There are still two boys playdown games left as last night's snow forced a pair of postponements. The Plainfield Panthers will visit Stonington and Montville hosts Woodstock.
The Killingly Redgals gymnastics team are the favorites to win the Class S state championship at Jonathan Law High School at 4 p.m.
The State Open wrestling championships also begin tonight down in New Haven at Hillhouse High School.
There is yet more tomorrow as Saturday features a day full of basketball at Plainfield High with the boys quarterfinals.
New London will play Waterford at noon followed by Wheeler vs. Windham at 2 p.m. The next two games are a little up in the air, if Plainfield is involved they would play at 6 p.m. vs. St. Bernard. If Stonington wins, they play at 4 p.m. vs St. Bernard. The other 4 or 6 p.m. game would be NFA vs. either Woodstock or Montville.
The State Open wrestling championships wrap up tomorrow with the finals scheduled for 6 p.m. and there could be a good representation from the ECC once again in those finals.
The ECC Cheerleading championships take place at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Waterford, all 19 league teams are scheduled to compete, each team has 2 1/2 minutes to show what it can do.
There is more gymnastics tomorrow with NFA and Fitch/Waterford competing in the Class L state championship meet at Jonathan Law in Milford at 10:30 a.m.
All of this and then the girls basketball state tournament begins on Monday.
