Westhill Falls to Bassick in League Playoffs Westhill Falls to Bassick in League Playoffs
Westhill Falls to Bassick in League Playoffs STAMFORD, Conn. – Westhill High’s 72-59 loss to Bassick High on Saturday bothered coach Howard White. The way in which the Vikings lost left him incensed after the quarterfinals of the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference tournament. The fifth-seeded Vikings (13-6) were careless with the basketball, showed little defensive intensity and allowed the fourth-seeded Lions to dominate the backboards. Chris Walters scored 33 points in a tremendous effort to keep the Vikings in it, and Tony Dobbinson managed 14 points while playing with a sprained ankle. Those were the only highligh…

Weston Girls Basketball Star Finishes Strong Weston Girls Basketball Star Finishes Strong
Weston Girls Basketball Star Finishes Strong WESTON, Conn. — Ellie Martin’s career with the Weston High girls basketball team far exceeds the expectations she had as a freshman. “I wanted to be the captain by the time I was a senior,’’ said Martin, who shares that role this year with her best friend, Lianna Hursh. “And I wanted to be successful.
