TORRINGTON — Housatonic girls basketball finished the Torrington Summer Basketball League as runners up for the 2025 season.

The TSBL championship game was played Friday, Aug. 8, at Torrington Armory. Lewis Mills defeated Housatonic 38-10 for the title.

The game was well attended with supporters of both sides. Housatonic fell behind early and, plagued by turnovers, struggled to mount a comeback.

In the Aug. 5 semifinal game of the TSBL tournament, the Mountaineers won 41-21 against Thomaston. Olivia Brooks caught fire, scoring 23 points with six 3-pointers to help her team advance to the championship. Housatonic ended the summer season with a record of 8-4.

Having graduated several seniors this past spring, the Mountaineers started the summer with a new lineup. Rising seniors Olivia Brooks, Victoria Brooks and Maddy Johnson stepped up as new leaders on the team. And high-performing incoming freshmen, such as Aubrey Funk, showed promise.

The successful summer campaign was a welcome boost for Housatonic fans, fueling optimism ahead of the varsity season this winter.
