(2)  Harwinton/Burlington Admitted to Connecticut Basketball .

Rich in tradition and history, Harwinton--the Crown Jewel of Litchfield County--was first settled in 1730 by Daniel Messenger and according to Connecticut Basketball folklore, started playing basketball in 1891—the same year Dr. Naismith started his program in Springfield, MA.

And now HYSA (Harwinton Youth Sports Association) is part of the Connecticut Basketball family.
