Just wondering, can you believe the high school baseball season starts in two weeks?
Looking outside, neither can I.
Just another day of anticipation for the Waterford High School Lancers boys basketball team as the Class M state championship game with Weston was postponed today and moved to Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Central Connecticut State University.
The Lancers know about 6-foot-9-inch John Galvin, they know about 6-4 Thomas Montelli and everyone is telling them that they are the underdog. The Trojans have been winning big, with the exception of their close encounter with Sacred Heart in the semifinals, the Lancers have been just getting by. But the Lancers have found a way to win, using the style of their opponents against them at times, and that may be necessary again tomorrow.
Waterford coach Mark Capasso is probably going to try and double down on Galvin and hope that Montelli along the baseline and the three guards outside don't kill 'em. As Stonington coach Mike Reyes said about Weston, "pick your poison".
Reyes did add one thing, however, had it not been for a tough stretch at the end of the first half and one at the beginning of the second, his Bears might have given Weston a much closer game than the 80-42 final.
See you at Central on Sunday.
