If you are looking for something else to do other than just checking election results, there will be some good volleyball being played at Griswold High School.
The Eastern Connecticut Conference volleyball semifinals get underway at 4;30 p.m. with the Plainfield Panthers taking on Fitch in the first semifinal. The second matchup will pit the top seed, NFA, against No. 4 East Lyme.
One thing the Wildcats will not be able to do this season is sneak around. NFA is, of course, the defending Class LL state champ and that means the bullseye will be large, not only in the ECC tournament, but in the states which begin next week.
"It's tough to repeat, but we're hungry," NFA coach Bill Howard said. "People didn't know about us last year and we kind of flew under the radar. They will be expecting us this year."
That includes the Vikings who lost to NFA, 3-0, just a week ago but look like they have recovered with their bout with the flu bug that took place last week.
The Panthers have a tough task today as it will be their first appearance in a match at this level. The three-year old varsity program advanced with a little revenge -match win over Lyman Monday night.
"Fitch is a really good team and a well-established program," Plainfield coach Bob Arremony said.
