The West Hartford Girls Basketball League (WHGBL) entered a Juniors Division Team and a Seniors Division team into the Corpus Christi Middle School’s February Frenzy Basketball Tournament over the President’s Day weekend holiday. The Varsity entry consisted of players from three WHGBL Senior Division teams (the Sparks, Mystics and Dream). The Varsity team played valiantly against some very tough competition. The Junior Varsity (JV) entry consisted of players from two WHGBL Juniors Division teams (Pittsburgh and Georgetown).

The JV team started with a loss to St. Timothy’s Middle School of West Hartford (St. Tim’s) 32-15. However, they recovered quickly with wins against Weathersfield Travel team 22-5, Cromwell Travel team 14-11 and Corpus Christi Middle School of Wethersfield 26-14. This put the WHGBL JV team into the championship game with a rematch against St. Tim’s of West Hartford. This time, the outcome was different with the WHGBL JV team playing tough defense and making great shots to win the championship with a 33-28 victory.

The league is so proud of both the WHGBL Varsity and JV teams and coaches. They teams played very hard and the coaches and players represented West Hartford recreational basketball as great ambassadors.

Congratulations to the JV team players and coaches for winning the Corpus Christi Middle School’s February Frenzy Basketball Tournament!!!
