On a historic day for West Haven sports, the Blue Devils took home two state titles on Saturday! First the Unified Sports team beat Windsor 28 to 27 in the CIAC Level One Unified Basketball championship game in the afternoon.
And then just a few hours later, the boys basketball team upset undefeated Staples in triple overtime to win CIAC Division I title. The final score there was 79 to 72.
The last time the boys basketball team won the state title was 1987. The team was in the state championship game two years ago, but came up short in a 59 to 57 loss against Windsor.
This was the first-ever state championship title for Unified Sports.
Our reporter Antoine Edmond was there covering the action. Antoine produced this video about the two wins. Thank you to WTNH for some of the footage used in this video. Antoine was able to sit on the floor of the basketball game and get this great footage because he’s a part of our school news team.
