This is my sixth year conducting the high school boys' basketball poll and Hartford Public made its first appearance during that time period this week.
Now, Public might be on the way out after getting dusted by Glastonbury Wednesday night 63-44 behind John Pinone's 22 points. If that name rings a bell, it should: Pinone was a former schoolboy star at South Catholic High in Hartford, then went on to Villanova.

So who steps into the poll next week: Xavier? St. Joseph? Northwest Catholic?


We shall see....
