Hillhouse, Old Lyme to be honored

The four girls' high school state championship teams including Class L champ Hillhouse and Class S champ Old Lyme will be honored at halftime of Sunday's Atlanta Dream/Connecticut Sun game at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Here's the release from the Sun

The Connecticut Sun will continue a tradition of honoring high school girls' basketball Sunday, recognizing CIAC Class LL champion Norwich Free Academy, Class L champion Hillhouse, Class M champion Bacon Academy and Class S champion Old Lyme during an on-court ceremony at halftime of the game with the Atlanta Dream at Mohegan Sun Arena.

WNBA President Donna Orender will also be on hand for a special
presentation and halftime entertainment will be supplied by the USO Liberty
Bells.

Each high school champion will receive a commemorative plaque from the
Connecticut Sun, and one framed jersey from each of the four teams will be
displayed on the Mohegan Sun Arena concourse during the 2009 season.

Sunday's festivities cap off a series of initiatives undertaken by the
Connecticut Sun to highlight local high school girls' basketball, where
future WNBA stars are already competing. Throughout the high school season,
Connecticut names a Team of the Week, and the Sun also hosts a CIAC
Championship luncheon for the eight schools that compete for the four state
titles.
