Sheehan Boys, Girls Basketball Teams Advance To State Championships

WALLINGFORD, CT — Both the Sheehan boys and girls basketball teams will be playing for state championships this weekend at Mohegan Sun Arena.

The third-seeded Sheehan girls basketball team advanced to a championship showdown with top-seeded East Catholic with a 37-31 victory over No. 2 Rocky Hill in the Class MM semifinals Tuesday night at Plainville High School.

Megan Wresien scored her 1,000th career point in the victory, Sheehan Athletics wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The 23rd-seeded Sheehan boys basketball team later joined the girls team with a trip to Mohegan Sun with a 56-44 victory over No. 6 New Fairfield in the Division IV semifinals at Naugatuck High School.

The Titans will take on top-seeded Ellington for the Division IV championship at 12:30 p.m. at Mohegan Sun.

The girls team will play for the Class MM championship at 3 p.m.

Sheehan becomes the second Southern Connecticut Conference school since 1994-95 to have both the boys and girls basketball teams make the state finals in the same year (joining Hillhouse in 2009-10), according to SCC Commissioner Al Carbone.
