Parents bring some extra quarters for the slot machines when you go to this year's Connecticut high school basketball finals. All boys and girls championship games will be played at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Mohegan Sun has partnered with the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) to host all eight championship games over a two-day span.
"This will allow Mohegan Sun Arena to host Connecticut's finest student athletes and give them the opportunity to compete in the same arena that is home to the Connecticut Sun and play on the same floor as Michael Jordan, Ray Allen, Diana Taurasi, Lindsay Whalen, and Sue Bird to name a few," said Mohegan Sun's President and CEO Mitchell Etess.
The games are scheduled for Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. Two games will be played on Friday night, while the remaining six contests will played throughout the day on Saturday. It will be the first time in CIAC history that the boys and girls will play their championships on the same weekend at the same venue.
