This week sees two of the nation’s most prominent public-school competitions — the New York State Public High School Athletic Association and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Council — finish off their tournaments.
Each of these competitions will have their own twists and turns, but we think that the one to watch is the Connecticut Class L Tournament, which could see a third confrontation between Darien (Conn.) and New Canaan (Conn.), but Greenwich (Conn.) and Wilton (Conn.) will be looking to upset the proverbial apple cart. These are going to be some great games, especially today’s semifinals.
