As Winter Practices Open, A Look At Ellington-Somers State Titles
Ellington scholastic teams have won seven state championships in the current winter sports, while teams from Somers have captured four.
ELLINGTON-SOMERS, CT — 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. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 brought a halt to state championship competition, and no state tournaments were conducted last winter.
Here is the state title history in winter sports for Ellington and Somers high school teams.
