UNCASVILLE, Conn. (January 13, 2009) — Torrington High School has been selected as the Connecticut Sun High School Girls’ Basketball Team of the Week, presented by WFSB Channel 3 and Friday Night Frenzy, in association with Camaro Signs of Yantic, for the week of January 5-11.
. The Red Raiders improved to 10-0 on January 9th with a 55-49 win at previously-undefeated Kennedy in a key Naugatuck Valley Conference showdown. Kennedy had just handed defending NVC Champion Holy Cross its first league loss in 86 games.
Sarah Royals led the way with 20 points and five steals for Torrington, which jumped into the New Haven Register Top 10 Girls’ Basketball Poll this week with a No. 9 ranking. Kayla Langenheim added 12 points and 13 rebounds. Torrington also beat Naugatuck on January 6th, and will host Holy Cross Tuesday night.
This is the third season the Connecticut Sun has recognized a Team of the Week. Each winner will receive a commemorative plaque and a congratulatory letter from Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault.
The Team of the Week is part of a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local high school girls’ basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun also host a CIAC Championship luncheon, and recognize the four CIAC Class champions during a ceremony at halftime of a regular season game.
The Sun have been one of the most successful teams in the WNBA, winning more games than any team in the league since 2003 and have qualified for the playoffs every year.
