Have you ever felt like the air just went out of a gym?
That's what it was like Tuesday night at Norwich Free Academy.
After a fun and entertaining girls basketball championship game on Friday night with a large crowd and two good teams, NFA and Stonington, on the floor. Tuesday night seemed to have all the thrill of a midseason game in January.
It really wasn't that way, of course, as we're already into the win or go home portion of the season. NFA started off a little slow but gradually imposed its will upon Newington and walked away with a 74-50 win.
The next task won't be so easy as the Wildcats have to play the Golden Hurricanes of New Britain on the road on Thursday. New Britain, the two-time defending state champ, had a rough start to the season, but are right back near the top of the state poll and feature one of the best players in the state.
Tonight, you might want to check out the Eastern Connecticut Conference semifinals in New London, three future Division-I players and a future Division-II player all on the floor as fourth-seed Stonington meets top-seed NFA in the first game at 6 p.m. The second at 7:30 pits third-seeded Killingly against No.2 seed and host, New London.
