A daily look at the best on the local sports scene ...

Somewhat of a Monday Rivalry Day here in high school sports, with the Sheehan boys and girls basketball teams playing host to Lyman Hall in a doubleheader, with the boys tipping off at 6 and the girls at 7:30 p.m.

It's a shame this does not happen more often, where boys and girls teams play doubleheaders at the same venue.

In boys basketball, Branford plays at East Haven at 7 p.m. and

In girls basketball, Stratford plays at Bunnell at 7 p.m.

The Morgan girls basketball team (10-3, 9-2) travels to play East Hampton (10-2, 8-2) in a key Shoreline Large Division matchup. Coginchaug is 10-3, 9-2 as well.

Looking to see one of the top student-athletes in the region compete, check out Virginia-bound Shelton wrestler Patrick Gillen when the Gaels host Law at 7.
Mike Pucci recently wrote a feature about Gillen and the Gaels. You can read that here.

All of the local colleges are off tonight.

The Yale men's basketball team, and both the Yale and Quinnipiac hockey teams are all on the road this upcoming weekend.
