CT Starters AAU

The emotions of a coaching wife. Meghan Phelps Martelli is the wife of VCU men's coach Phil Martelli, Jr. She is also a former CT Starters player & her dad Steve formerly coached with us. We should have found a picture of her celebrating as VCU upset N. Carolina in OT!#ctgb #ctbb

Maggie Doogan on staying at Richmond "When hundreds of thousands of dollars are being thrown in your face, it’s tough to ignore. But it wasn’t about the money for me ... "I wouldn’t change it for the world. It was 100% the right decision." FIT over name wins again! #ncaaw

Today, the CIAC hosted the Boys & Girls Basketball Media Luncheon at TPC River Highlands, celebrating the twenty teams set to compete in this weekend’s State Championships. The event gave student-athletes the opportunity to be interviewed and showcased by media outlets from across the state. 🏀 #ctbb #ctgb

@EricsonSports You did have HK, Lakeveiw and Innovation in the DV semi's so not a total brick. And maybe when you picked Lakeview over Thomaston it was accidentally cut and pasted from your Berkshire League predictions. (But Bolton in D IV semi's?)

7 of 10 finalists correct pre tournament. Bricked DV totally. #ctgb

@maxl100 @EricsonSports Preach Max!

@ctstarters @EricsonSports One thing I’ll say for next year for #ctbb and #ctgb; if you want to host a semifinal, make sure you have a camera that doesn’t obstruct a portion of the scoreboard……..or send an announcer to said school if the camera blocks the board

Houston/CIAC/NFHS...we have a problem. No announcers and a partially obscured scoreboard! We're relying on you Mr. Ericson! #ctgb
