UNCASVILLE, CT. (January 16, 2007) - Windsor High School was selected as the Connecticut Sun High School Girls' Basketball Team of the Week Tuesday after improving to 12-0 with victories over Weaver and previously-ranked Manchester last week.

Brittany Huggins led the Warriors with 23 points in Friday's 61-42 win over Weaver. Huggins and teammate Cierra Baker each scored 17 points in the team's 64-52 victory at Manchester Tuesday. Windsor, which is the top-ranked team in both the New Haven Register and Hartford Courant Girls' Basketball Polls, is one of only five remaining undefeated teams.

Each Tuesday during the high school girls' basketball regular season, the Connecticut Sun will recognize one Team of the Week. That team will receive a commemorative plaque, courtesy of the Connecticut Sun and Barker Specialty. Hamden High, Fairfield Ludlowe, Norwich Free Academy and Holy Cross are the other teams that have been recognized this season.

The Team of the Week is the latest in a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local girls' high school basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun also conduct a high school tour, host the CIAC Championship luncheon and recognize the four CIAC Class champions during a ceremony at halftime of a regular season game.
