On Saturday, February 25th, Mooreland Hill School hosted its 15th annual Girls Invitational Basketball Classic. Cheshire Academy, Independent Day School, Ethel Walker School, and Chase Collegiate joined Mooreland in competing for this year’s championship. Mooreland finished 5th after a tough morning of play but stayed determined throughout the tournament. Independent Day School emerged as tournament champions, with Chase Collegiate and Ethel Walker finishing second and third. MHS congratulates 8th grader Briana Lugo, from Plainville, for her selection to the All-Tournament Team and for her second place finish in the foul shooting contest.
