Today’s snow has caused the postponement of the FCIAC girls basketball and boys hockey tournaments, as well as the State Open wrestling meet.
Tonight’s FCIAC girls basketball championship game between Trinity Catholic and St. Joseph is now scheduled for tomorrow at 4:30 at Fairfield Ludlowe.
With the forecast calling for the snow to continue until tomorrow morning, it is possible the FCIAC would have to move the game again, with a limited option.
The state tournaments are supposed to begin on Monday. The CIAC allows teams to play games on one Sunday each season, so the final could be moved to then. If not, the two schools would likely be declared co-champions.
Today’s scheduled FCIAC Tournament boys hockey quarterfinal games have been moved to tomorrow at the Darien Ice Rink at the same times. Darien will play St. Joseph at 6 p.m., followed by New Canaan against Wilton.
The State Open Wrestling Tournament has also been pushed back a day. Preliminary rounds will now start tomorrow at noon at the New Haven Athletic Center. The third- and fifth-place finals will be at 2 p.m., with the championships at 4 p.m.
The FCIAC boys tournament is scheduled to begin tomorrow with four quarterfinal games at Fairfield Warde. So is the girls hockey final between New Canaan and Darien, and two other hockey quarterfinals.
Here is the current schedule for tomorrow:
Boys Basketball Quarterfinals at Fairfield-Warde
No. 6 Stamford (11-7) vs. No. 3 Harding (14-4), Noon
No. 7 Trinity Catholic (11-7) vs. No. 2 St. Joseph (16-2), 2 p.m.

You are right Brian, thanks. The FCIAC sent that schedule out with the mistake and I didn’t catch it. Glad you did.

Comment about co-champions…That would be a JOKE ! Play the game Sunday at 6:00 p.m. that would give the girls plenty of time to get to a gym…co – champs …rediculous rule……

It would only be co-champions if they can’t play on Sunday, which would be unfortunate.
