Winter Wonders: Historic Opportunity for HHS

Last year’s Hamden HS girls basketball team made history with a State Championship victory. An outstanding, special, rare accomplishment, no doubt. Far more rare is a team that wins back-to-back state titles. And our HHS Green Dragons have the opportunity to do just that on Sunday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Tipoff at 6:15pm. Tickets available here. For Hamden fans and families, it is an outstanding opportunity for weekend fun - championship basketball, 30+ restaurants, shopping, casino gaming, and thousands of Hamden neighbors all in one fun venue.

Here is the game preview from GametimeCT:

“This is the championship matchup people have been anticipating since December. The rivals have already played three times this season with Hamden winning twice, including in the SCC championship. The winner of the game will likely be ranked as the No. 1 team in the final GameTimeCT Girls Basketball Top 10 Poll. Hamden is the No. 1 ranked team in the poll and SHA is No. 2. Hamden and SHA have been the only two teams to occupy the No. 1 spot in the GameTimeCT Poll this season. Both teams like to get out and run and can put up points in bunches. The shot clock will rarely drop into single digits in this one. This is the second straight year the top two teams in the GameTimeCT Top 10 Poll will meet for the Class LL championship after No. 1 Hamden beat No. 2 Ludlowe last season.”

Food!

Here are all 38 food & beverage options at the Mohegan Sun resort. If you have never been before, all of these are in the same building connected to the arena. Once you park and enter, it is all right there for fans to enjoy.
