Volleyball State Championship Game

Ludlowe and Greenwich set for the for the state championship 

The high school fall CT state championships (excluding football, which is in December) were this weekend. 

The Ludlowe girls volleyball team was playing in the Class LL championship against the FCIAC foe, the Greenwich Cardinals on Saturday evening at East Haven High School. 

Ludlowe got to the state championship game by finishing 14-5 in the regular season. In the state playoffs, they defeated New Britain, Naugatuck, Conard and Cheshire to get to the final game. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they got swept by Greenwich in three sets. The Cardinals won by scores of 25-15, 25-12 and 25-17.  

Congrats to Greenwich on winning the state championship. The Cardinals add a state championship to their resume after already taking home the FCIAC Championship, as they defeated Darien on November 6. 

In terms of Ludlowe, the volleyball team had a terrific season, making it to the FCIAC semifinals and then making this state tournament run. Shoutout to Coach Tina Rembish on a job well done in her first year at the helm of the Falcons. 

The Nest, the Ludlowe student section, had a great showing with fan buses set up. Student sections are a huge part of the atmosphere of what gives extra energy to these games to it's always great to see a good turnout. 

Congrats to all the state champions who were named today across all sports. 

Swim and Dive concluded with opens tomorrow before football is the lone sport remaining for the Fall season. The regular season concludes for football on Thanksgiving and then the playoffs begin before the Fall season completely concludes the middle of December. 

After Thanksgiving, we turn our attention to winter sports. Obviously, I am looking forward to basketball around Ludlowe and Warde, but hopefully it's an exciting winter for many teams around here.
