Grasso Tech, Hillhouse boys, Hamden girls elect to play in CIAC Division I basketball tournaments

Grasso Tech, Hillhouse boys teams and Hamden girls decide to participate in CIAC Division I basketball tournaments. Grasso Tech's coach Tim Strong was surprised when his team was moved from Division III to Division II. He decided to move Grasso Tech to Division I, as the smaller number of teams and a bye in the tournament would provide an advantage.

The Eagles will be the first CTC team to participate in the Division I tournament since its inception in 2017-2018. Hillhouse has often opted for Division I or Class LL, but for the past two seasons, they remained in Division II. Hamden's girls basketball team is the only girls team in the state to choose Division I. Meanwhile, Rocky Hill decided to move down from Division I to Division II.
