The girls’ high school and prep school season is quickly coming to a close.  The school girls were only involved in three games last week, while two prep schools were involved in a total of six games.

Plainfield, Killingly and Putnam all lost games in tournament action.  Plainfield and Killingly lost in the CIAC Tournament, putting an end to their 2015-2016-season.  Putnam lost in the semifinals of the Constitution State Conference Tournament.  The Lady Clippers have at least one game remaining, a CIAC Class S First Round game against Achievement First.

The Pomfret School ladies had two contests last week and won both.  Marianapolis was very busy, playing four games and coming out of the week 2-2.

Tournament Action Not Kind 

to Local Teams

Putnam reached the CSC semifinals only to lose a heartbreaker to a familiar foe, Windham Tech.  The Lady Techsters walked off with a 55-51 victory, using a big 27 point second quarter surge to propel them to the win.  Ashley Burke with 10 points and Maria Fredette with a dozen were the only players in double figures for the Lady Clippers.  Putnam is 13-9 entering the CIAC Tournament.

Plainfield, a 19 seed, lost in a First Round CIAC Class M contest to 14 seed Immaculate 45-36.  Julie Jordan was high scorer for the Lady Panthers with 20 points, while Madeline Lorange posted 10 in the loss.  Plainfield concludes its season at 13-10.

Killingly, which was in the CIAC Tournament for the first time in many moons, lost to #2 seed Enfield 67-42.  Killingly, a #31 seed, finishes its season at 9-13.

Pomfret Enjoys Perfect Week

Pomfret School raised its record to 14-8 with a pair of big wins last week.  Led by Deja Ross (15 points) and Alyzae Davis (10) the Lady Griffins beat St. George’s 51-28.  Ross led all scorers with 21 points in another big 52-32 victory over Westminster.  Issy Forti added 10 points to go with 11 rebounds and Davis chipped in 14 in the victory.

Marianapolis opened the week with a pair of losses but bounced back to win its final two games of the week.  The Lady Knights beat Berkshire School 53-48 as freshman Olivia Summiel had a double-double, 15 points and 13 rebounds and Nicole Anderson chipped in 15 markers.

Led by Anderson’s 12 points and Summiel with seven points and 11 caroms, Marianapolis beat New Hampton School 51-41.

Earlier in the week the Golden Knights lost to Northfield-Mount Hermon 57-53 despite 14 points from Jordan Frye and 10 from senior Caroline Soucy.  In an 85-37 loss to Tabor Academy, Soucy was the only double point scorer for Marianapolis with 11 points.

Marianapolis is 13-12 on the season.
