The Lady Clippers are now concentrating on the state tournaments this week after getting knocked out in the ECC tournament.
The Putnam girls were on a tear heading into the ECC tournament, facing two teams during the week. They walked away with two more victories against St. Bernard’s, 50-29, and Cheney Tech 63-32.
Ranked sixth in the Class S state rankings, the Lady Clippers headed to the ECC tournament against Windham High. The game came down to the wire with Putnam falling short at the end, 39-32.

Boys
The Putnam boys came outta the gate this week with one thing on their mind and that was to make the State Tournament.
The Clippers had no easy task first facing the Windham Whippets. The Whippets had beaten the Clippers on the road last month. Sebastian Ramos would carry the men down the late stretch making some key shots and Kobie Bates would sink a free throw in the end to seal the game.
The Clippers would then face Cheney Tech on the road and come home with a 72-64 victory. Feb. 15, in front a packed house, the school honored their seniors: Sebastian Ramos , Hunt Touchette , Mike Dicoella and Kobie Bates . The boys would win against Wheeler 60-43
