2024 Girls Basketball Tournament
Windsor Wins 2024 CCC Title
The Windsor Warriors broke open a close game with a late second quarter surge to open a nine-point halftime edge and steadily added to the advantage over the second half to
defeat #2 seed Northwest Catholic 66-52 to claim their first CCC Tournament Championship since 2007.
Senior Ayanna Franks hit the 2,000th point of her career with time running down in the half. She went on to finish the game with 13 points and run her career scoring mark to 2,004. Transfer Kamaria Bowens had 19 and Mikaela Williams scored 17 to anchor a balanced Warrior scoring attack.
The two teams battled closely through the first quarter and a half before the Warriors went on a 14-5 run to close the half. Northwest Catholic stayed even for much of the
second half but was never able to overcome the deficit as the Warriors countered every attempt at a run by the Lions. With high scoring Abigail Casper was sidelined by injury in the third quarter and the Lions were not able to find the scoring punch needed to close the deficit. Casper had 16 points and Maeve Stanton led the Lions with 18.
Windsor was the 12 seed in the tournament and became the lowest seeded team ever to win the title. The Warriors 
went through three of the state’s top ten ranked teams to earn the championship with wins over Newington, Conard and Northwest Catholic. Windsor opened the tournament with a victory over E.O. Smith.
Northwest Catholic was the #2 seed in the tournament and reached the finals by defeating Manchester, Rocky Hill and defending champion Simsbury.
