Hamden Named Connecticut Sun Team of the Week
UNCASVILLE, CT. (December 12, 2006) — Hamden High was selected as the first Connecticut Sun High School Girls’ Basketball Team of the Week on Tuesday.
Hamden, which finished 10-12 last year, is off to a 2-0 start this season. Led by senior Chelsea Blake, the Green Dragons rolled to victories of 81-38 over Foran of Milford on Dec. 6th and 52-38 over Shelton on Dec. 8th. Blake had 14 points, 10 steals and five assists against Foran, and 18 points against Shelton.
Each Tuesday during the high school girls’ basketball regular season, the Connecticut Sun will recognize one Team of the Week. That team will receive a commemorative plaque, courtesy of the Connecticut Sun and Barker Specialty.
The Team of the Week is the latest in a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local girls’ high school basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun also conduct a high school tour, host the CIAC Championship luncheon and recognize the four CIAC Class champions during a ceremony at halftime of a regular season game.
