We're going to be getting into the fun stuff now when it comes to high school basketball, the conference games.
The holiday tournaments are just about over with a few more to be completed on this Saturday before the New Year's holiday three-day break.
But it all begins again on Wednesday with some Eastern Connecticut Conference Small Division games and some cross over match ups between the Medium and Large.
The real fun begins on Friday for the girls as we have the first of the big matchups which pits Montville against Bacon Academy.
How the Medium Division will finish is a mystery to most especially after Montville handed Windham a 20-point loss. The Indians seem to have the inside track in that division and with Caitlin Quinn back to her deadly self from outside after a slow start, it will give teams fits to keep up with the Indians. Nikkia Smith inside, Quinn outside and just for a little added dimension, Lindsay Stergio slashing down the lane.
Montville still has to play not only Bacon but also Stonington with Heather Buck. The Bears are off to a fine 7-0 start although they haven't been making headlines because they haven't met much of the iron yet. Buck is back to her old self as she continues to close in on the 2,000-point mark for her high school career.
I wouldn't push Griswold aside, either, as the Wolverines may be capable of an upset along the road.
One things for sure, we'll see you courtside over the next couple of months.
