Boys Hoop Tournament Pairings: Middlesex/New London Counties

A total of 128 Connecticut high school boys basketball teams will attempt to realize a goal of playing at the Mohegan Sun Arena for a state championship, as brackets for the CIAC tournaments were released Wednesday.

Notre Dame-Fairfield, the reigning Division I champion, is the only one of last year's five champions to have a chance to defend its actual title; the other four titlists (Immaculate, Waterford, Kolbe Cathedral and Cromwell) have all moved up at least one division.
