Boys' Basketball: Class L and S Quarterfinals + Class LL and M Semifinals

All games on Monday 3/14:

CLASS L Quarterfinals:

(9) Bassick (FCIAC Champions, just out of the top ten-would be #12 in the state) @ (1) Northwest Catholic (#5 in the state) @ 7pm

(10) Kennedy @ (2) Maloney (CCC runner-up, #6 in the state) @ 7
(22) Daniel Hand @ (3) New London (ECC Champions, #1 in the state) @ 7
-You can expect a blowout, Hand beat (27) East Catholic in the second round by one because East upset (6) Stratford by three...Hand upset (11) Masuk by 20 but first round upsets are more common as teams from weaker conferences are seeded higher than they deserve and vice versa.

CLASS S Quarterfinals:

(8) Kolbe Cathedral @ (1) Valley Regional (Shoreline runner-up) @ 7pm
(12) Coginchaug (upset 5 seed Windsor Locks) @ (4) St. Paul Catholic (has Chris Borea) @ 7
