Xavier, Cromwell, Valley/Old Lyme move into semis

Yup, three out of four. The only area loss was H-K, who fell victim to a very tough Holy Cross team. Cromwell, trailing 8-0 early in their contest, battled back to earn a spot in the Class S semifinals. Xavier rolled over G'bury, and Valley/Old Lyme earned a gritty playoff win against Rocky Hill.

• Xavier 35, Glastonbury 6
• Cromwell 23, Capital Prep/Classical Magnet 14
• Holy Cross 42, Haddam-Killingworth 14
• Valley/Old Lyme 14, Rocky Hill 12

OH. And how sweet is this picture (below) from Catherine Avalone at the Xavier-Glastonbury game?
