I loved what Montville senior Caitlin Quinn told me because it is indeed the truth.
Any one who thinks that most high school kids are oblivious to what goes on at the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods have slept under the covers too long.
Walk into the Sun and there are kids ( under 18) on the premises. They may not be in the casino but they are in the stores, restaurants, hanging out, where ever they are allowed to hang out.
It's not the mall any more Mom and Dad, it's the Casino.
So what's wrong with the Eastern Connecticut Conference playing its girls championship game there?
Nothing.
If anything, it has a lot of positives to it.
Bye-bye home court advantage for someone (usually NFA for the girls). Hello to a big time experience for the players.
It's something to be excited about, not afraid of.
Now, if we can just get all the principals on the same page, we'll be headed in the right direction.
