SIMSBURY, Nov. 25, 2009 – With Newtown’s 36-22 victory over Masuk-Monroe on Wednesday night, Simsbury (9-1) clinched a spot in the CIAC Class L playoffs for the second straight year. The loss pushed Masuk to the No. 4 spot while Simsbury rose to No. 2 and will host undefeated Conard (10-0) in the Class L semifinals on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the high school.
Notre Dame-West Haven has an opportunity to knock Masuk (9-2) out if they can beat Hamden on Thanksgiving Day morning.
It will be Simsbury’s fourth appearance in the CIAC playoffs. The Trojans lost to Newington in the Class L semifinals last year, 28-7. In 1993 and 1994, they dropped decisions twice to Cheshire in the Class L championship games when only two teams qualified.
