We spent 36 hours following the fine work of NFHSNetwork and CPTV Sports, who brought to you, live, ALL of the CIAC spring state championships.
Here are the top moments we managed to capture on Vine throughout the weekend. With so many games going on simultaneously, it was impossible to keep track of it all. If your think we missed something truly great, that’s why.
For now, just settle back and watch the best moments from championship weekend as they were called on CPTV Sports and HAN Radio on the NFHS Network.
The play-by-play calls you’ll hear come from NFHS Network and CPTVSports’ Don Boyle (Baseball), HAN Radio’s Rob Adams (Boys Lacrosse), David Resnick (Girls Lacrosse), Tom Felice (L and LL Softball), GoGreenKnights.com’s Steve Kirck (M softball) and Glenn Conticello (S softball).
You can watch all the replays on CPTV Sports this week. To get DVDs of replays of the games, visit CIACSports.org, or NFHS Network.
Apologies in advance for the varying degrees of volume. You will have to turn it up, down and (in one case, off) to enjoy the calls.
