Lots of Basketball

GHS during the freshman game on Tuesday 

I love busy weeks of local sports. 

Some weeks are crazier than others. This week was both busy and crazy. 

Three overtime basketball games and a hockey game. 

It began with Ludlowe boys basketball's game on Tuesday at Greenwich. Greenwich won in overtime 47-43. 

You can read Dave Fierro's game story on his Greenwich Sports Beat site. 

Rob Adams, along with Sean Adams, decided to stop by, and it was good to see them, as always. 

Thanks to Rob for the photo of me doing the Ludlowe book. 

What do I do when there is no basketball? Find another game/event to go to. 

On Wednesday, it was over to Wonderland of Ice in Bridgeport for hockey. The Fairfield (Ludlowe/Warde combined team) played Ridgefield in a rematch of last season's FCIAC Championship. 

After Ridgefield won the championship in overtime last year, Fairfield came away with a 2-0 victory. The Mustangs goals came from Charlie Swanson and Owen Gibbons. 

After a day of no games on Thursday (but still the normal work and basketball practice), it was back with a game on Friday. 

Ludlowe basketball hosted Norwalk. The game was back and forth, especially in the fourth quarter. The game would go to overtime, which remained tight before the Bears did enough to seal the victory. 

Finally, today. Ludlowe boys basketball would be back in action against Maloney of Meriden in a non-league game. 

This was the final of the three overtime games, as Maloney sent the game to the extra session with a banked in three-pointer. Ludlowe came out strong in overtime to secure the win and finish the week on a high note. 

Tate Mahoney led Ludlowe with 25 points, including four three-pointers. Ryan Torello added 13 of his own. Nine of the 13 came from the free throw line. 

It was a much needed victory for the Falcons after two tough losses earlier in the week. 

Now we rest and watch football. Another big week ahead. 

I love sports craziness.
