Notable: Naugatuck withdrew after the regular season and won’t be participating in the playoffs. … Brass City earned the fifth seed by sweeping their season series with Amenia. … The defending league champion is Tri-Town, who have won the championship for the past two seasons and three times in the last five years. The Trojans are looking to be the first team to win three titles in a row since the Torrington Rebels won four straight from 1992-95.
