Postseason is here for UConn recruits

While UConn has five regular-season games remaining, the Huskies' three incoming freshmen are already in postseason mode.

Brianna Banks and Fayette County defeated Dutchtown 69-45 in the Georgia 3-AAAA quarterfinals on Tuesday and will play Woodland at 4 p.m. on Friday

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. opens play in the CIF Southern Section 1AA playoffs by hosting King tonight. With a win, the Monarchs would play the winner of the Warren/Schnurr game on Saturday.

Kiah Stokes and Linn-Mar of Marion, Iowa will face either Dubuque Senior or Cedar Rapids Jefferson on Tuesday in the Iowa Class 4A tournament.

As for the high school juniors who have either committed to UConn or are high on the Huskies' wish list:

Breanna Stewart's next game with her Cicero-North Syracuse (N.Y.) squad is a home game against Liverpool on Friday. Fellow commit Morgan Tuck will lead her Bolingbrook (Ill.) squad will play Romeoville in the Class 4A Plainfield East Regional final tonight.

UConn recruiting target Jewell Loyd also has her Niles West in contention for Illinois' 4A title as Niles West faces Skokie tonight in the Skokie (Niles West) Regional final.

Xylina McDaniel had 29 points, four rebounds, four assists and four blocks as Spring Valley of Columbia, S.C. began play in the South Carolina 4A playoffs with a 95-47 win over Northwestern on Tuesday. Next up is J.L. Mann on Friday.
Staying closer to home, Bria Holmes helped Hillhouse to the No. 2 seed in the Southern Connecticut Conference tournament which begins tonight with four games. Hillhouse plays the winner of the Guilford/Foran game on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at West Haven High School (which would answer the question I have received whether Holmes would be in attendance at the Notre Dame game). If the Academics win, they would play in the semifinals at 6 p.m. on Monday at Quinnipiac's TD Bank Sports Center. That will be the site of the championship game, slated for 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Moriah Jefferson and her THESA Raiders will play in the state tournament next week with their eyes on a fifth straight National Homeschool Championship next month.
