Kirk Kaczor’s varsity team plays in the first round of the Shoreline Tournament tonight at 7 p.m. in the newly-renovated Lyme-Old Lyme High School gym.
Led by senior captains Andrew Tyrol and George Logan, the second-ranked Wildcats meet the seventh-ranked Haddam-Killingworth Cougars for the second time this season. The previous game ended in a win for Old Lyme, but this one will be no walk-over.
H-K’s seventh seed is misleading in that, until yesterday, any one of four teams could have been in seventh place, indicating how tight the lower segment of the league ended the regular season.
The Wildcats are hoping for a large crowd of fans tonight to emphasize their home advantage.
The full draw for today’s tournament games is as follows:
No. 8 Morgan at No. 1 Valley Regional
No. 7 Haddam Killingworth at No. 2 Old Lyme
No. 6 East Hampton at No. 3 Cromwell
No. 5 Westbrook at No. 4 Hyde
Go Wildcats!
