The Shelton boys basketball team has a chance to clinch a state tournament berth on Tuesday, but the Gaels will have to do it against one of the SCC's top teams as they host Fairfield Prep at 7 p.m.
Shelton improved to 7-10 with Friday's 55-29 victory over Guilford and needs to win one of its final three games to make the Class LL state tournament.
However, Fairfield Prep (15-2) has been on a major roll, having won 10 straight games, including Friday's 84-62 victory over East Haven.
The Jesuits boast one of the top players in the state in senior swingman Terry Tarpey, who is averaging close to 25 points per game, the top mark in Fairfield County.
Tarpey, who helped lead Fairfield Prep to the finals of the Class LL state tournament last season, will be playing at William & Mary next year.
