Alison Connors said her daughter Riley didn’t want to miss basketball season.

The baby, Connors’ second child, was due this past week but arrived Nov. 18 and was 13 days old when she attended her first Northwest Catholic girls basketball practice with her mother, who coaches the three-time state champions, on Dec. 1.

Northwest, which won the Class L title last year after winning Class MM the year before and Class S the year before that, will once again contend for a state title, this time in Division I. Girls basketball switched to the divisional system the boys use this season for the first time.

The high school girls basketball season opens Friday.

“I think it’s great,” Connors said. “We’re looking forward to the state tournament, we kind of guessed that’s where we’d be. We want to be competitive.”

Northwest returns its entire starting lineup, including seniors Abby Casper, who will play at Holy Cross next season; Maeve Staunton, who will play soccer at UConn; and Zoe Canning, who will play basketball at Swarthmore.

“We’re trying to pick up where we left off,” Connors said.

Northwest will start the season with a big game right away Tuesday against East Catholic, last year’s Class MM runner-up. East Catholic also moved up to Div. I.

East Catholic, the CCC tournament runner-up which finished 24-4 last year, returns the bulk of its starting lineup including senior center Urielle Afaokwa-Abrokwa and sophomores Gia Fisher and Morgan Bridgeforth.

“I think we’re a little bit ahead of where we were last year at this point,” East Catholic coach Chad Malone said. “Division I will be certainly a challenge but we have the horses to compete in it.”

Southington, the CCC tournament champion which lost in the Class LL championship…

NEW YORK — The WNBA and its players union agreed to an extension of the current collective bargaining agreement to Jan. 9 just before their current deadline ran out Sunday night.

Just like the previous extension, both sides have the option to terminate the extension with 48 hours advance notice.

The sides had announced a 30-day extension to the original Oct. 31 deadline. That extension was set to expire Sunday night just before midnight. They met over the holiday weekend hoping to come an agreement.

The union proposed the six-week extension after the league had proposed a shorter one.

“We expect substantive movement from the league within this window,” the union said in a statement.

With nothing urgent on the immediate horizon except for the expansion draft for Portland and Toronto, it would be unlikely that either side would exercise the option to terminate the extension.

Last season’s expansion draft for Golden State was held in December.

Free agency would be the next big thing for both sides to deal. That usually is done in late January. This is an unprecedented offseason with all but two of the league’s veterans free agents. Players signed one-year deals last season knowing there would be huge salary bumps when a new CBA is agreed upon.

The sides have been sending updated proposals back and forth and met frequently, including Sunday. Salaries and revenue sharing are the two biggest sticking points. Earlier this month, the league put forth a proposal that would include revenue sharing and have a maximum salary of $1.1 million available to more than one player per team, growing each year.

Other things the players are pushing for include expanding retirement benefits, codifying the league’s charter flight travel and having a minimum standard for team facilities.

When the previous CBA…
