Girls’ Wrap-up

Putnam &

Woodstock

qualify for 

postseason

By Ron P. Coderre

The Putnam High School Lady Clippers, Killingly Redgals and Woodstock Academy Lady Centaurs picked up the needed victories to qualify for the CIAC State Tournament in a busy week of girls’ basketball action.  Putnam enjoyed a perfect week with two wins, while the Acads split two contests and Killingly was 1-2.

Plainfield with seven wins and on the cusp of qualifying is still in search of the elusive eighth victory.  The Lady Panthers were 1-and-1 on the week.  Tourtellotte, which has been struggling of late, lost both its games and remains stuck on five wins.  Ellis Tech, which remains a long shot to qualify, was 1-2 in a three-game week.

In the prep ranks Pomfret School suffered through a 0-3 week, while Marianapolis split two games.

Putnam Battling for Top Spot in CSC East

Putnam picked-up two relatively easy Constitution State Conference – East Division victories over the week to solidify its spot on the top of the division.  The Lady Clippers and Windham Tech are tied at 8-2 in the division in a battle for the No. 1 ranking.  

The Lady Clippers, who are comfortably in the postseason, opened the week with a 43-27 victory over Norwich Tech.  Maria Fredette with 15 points and Ashley Burke with a dozen were Putnam’s top point producers.  The pair continued to lead Putnam as they waltzed past Ellis Tech 51-5.  Once again Fredette posted 15 and Burke 12 for the 9-7 Lady Clippers.

In its other two games, 3-9 overall and 3-4 CSC – East, Ellis Tech split a pair of contests.  The Golden Eagles beat Grasso Tech 40-29 behind Kristen Light’s 17 points.  In a game against SMSA, the Techsters fell badly 65-15.

Woodstock Academy opened the week on a high note, beating Montville 46-42 in overtime.  Knotted 38-38 after regulation, the Lady Centaurs outscored Montville 8-4 in the extra frame.  Jamie Woods was Woodstock’s top gun with 11 points while freshman Ari Koivisto added nine in the winning cause.    The Acads couldn’t get the offense going against a good Bacon Academy team, losing 66-19.  Woodstock is 8-7 on the season and 0-6 in the Eastern Connecticut Conference Large Division.

Killingly at 8-7 and 1-5 in the ECC Medium Division gained the victory that qualified them for the CIAC postseason.  In its third game of the week, Killingly finally reached the magic number 8, beating Fitch 49-41.  Meagan Bianchi and Ally Conde assured the win with 15 points apiece.  

Earlier in the week the Redgals fell 40-34 to Ledyard and 63-44 to Waterford.   Conde had 18 in the loss to Ledyard, which saw Killingly blow a 22-14 halftime advantage.  Bianchi (15) and Conde (11) were the top scorers for coach Mark Lowell in the loss to Waterford.

Plainfield traveled to East Lyme and enjoyed a pleasant trip home as they beat the Lady Vikings 46-39 behind double-digit performances from three players.  Zoe Beaver led the way with 14 points, while Madeline Lorange and Julie Jordan each chipped in 13 for the 7-7 and 2-4 in the ECC Medium Division Lady Panthers.  New London took the measure of Plainfield 65-33 in its only other game.  Beaver had 14 points in the loss to the Whalers.

Tourtellotte, which is in a rut, lost a last second heart breaker to Griswold 54-53.  Emily Vincent had a mammoth game, scoring 20 points for the Lady Tigers, who also got 12 points from Abby Poirier.  The Lady Tigers also dropped another close game losing 29-24 in a low scoring affair to St. Bernard.  Tourtellotte is 5-10 overall and 1-3 in the ECC Small Division.

Pomfret School on the Skids

Pomfret School, which was enjoying an outstanding season, hit the rocks, losing two games by narrow margins and losing big to Tabor Academy 73 34 as Deja Ross was the lone double digit scorer with 11 points.  The Golden Griffins, despite 22 points from Alyzae Davis and 16 from Ross, lost to Worcester Academy 61-52.  Pomfret then dropped a disappointing one-point verdict to the Rivers School 59-58 despite placing three players in double digits.  Davis had 16, Ross 15 and Corinne McPadden added 12 for Pomfret, which is now 8-5 on the season.

Marianapolis fell behind early and couldn’t rally as it lost to Tabor Academy 65-47.  The Lady Knights were paced by Sophia Widmeyer’s 15 points and 12 points from Nicole Anderson.  Marianapolis rebounded with a convincing 67-33 win over BB&N thanks to a double-double by Olivia Summiel.  She posted 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead the way for the 9-8 Lady Knights.  Jordan Frye chipped in a dozen points in the much need victory.
