Southington girls basketball reaches championship for first time

courant.com

The Southington girls basketball team is returning to the state championship for the first time since the early 1990s. Meghan McNicholas-Leggett, a former player and now a volunteer assistant coach, will coach her daughter, Isabella Leggett, in the Class LL final. Isabella, a senior guard, joined the team this year after moving back to Southington. She has a strong bond with her mother, who has shared her experiences and memories from her own championship run in 1992, when Southington won its sixth title. The championship game will be held at Mohegan Sun Arena, a venue that did not exist during McNicholas-Leggett's playing days. The team has a close-knit dynamic, with many players having grown up together and played basketball since childhood.
