Al Lewis must be smiling.
The East Lyme basketball coach has his team in the thick of things at halftime of the Class L state championship game with Kolbe Cathedral. The Vikings only trail 24-21 after the first half.
East Lyme's Emily Walker has been a force inside as she has put down 13 first half points, the only player with more than two points for the Vikings.
East Lyme has settled back into a 2-3 zone defensively as the Cougars have not shown the ability to hit the outside shot. Kolbe Cathedral is just 9-of-38 from the floor and is 0-for-9 beyond the 3-point arc. Ashley Prim is the only Cougar player in double figures with 10 points.
The turnout for the game is one of the smallest in the four games played at CCSU today.
