With their 68-57 victory Tuesday night over Bunnell High School, the Staples Lady Wreckers basketball team advanced into the “Sweet 16” of the Division LL of the Connecticut State Girls Basketball Tournament.
The teams moves on to play Simsbury High School, which upset Farmington on a last second basket 44-43. Staples is the ninth seed in the tournament and Simsbury is the 25th.
Because the Wreckers are the higher seeded team, the game will take place Thursday night in the Staples gym at 7 p.m.
The game will be broadcast on the Staples student station, WWPT, 90.3 FM at 6:50 p.m. with Staples students Greg Kaplan and Patrick Toole calling the action.
Congratulations on a stellar Team effort. The girls played great, scored numerous points off of their �Press� as well as their pressure defense. All five starters contributed significantly to this win and should be very proud. If you want to see some great basketball, come to Staples this Thursday night (Mar. 3rd) at 7:00 PM and cheer them on. Gordon thanks for the coverage of the game.
