As Winter Practices Open, a Look At Past South Windsor Titles
South Windsor High School teams have won five state titles in winters past, while its predecessor, Ellsworth, won seven.
SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — The calendar has flipped to December, which means the winter sports campaign is officially upon us as practice is scheduled to open Monday for high school wrestling, girls basketball and ice hockey teams throughout Connecticut. Indoor track, boys basketball, boys swimming and gymnastics all begin practice Thursday.
With players slated to take the court, ice and mat later this afternoon, dreams of a state championship berth in March are already formulating in the minds of athletes and coaches alike.
Here is the state title history in winter sports for high school teams from South Windsor and Ellsworth high schools; an asterisk (*) denotes a co-op team.
