HARDWICK – Head coach Aaron Hill and his Wildcat program will put a bow on a busy summer this week with the conclusion of summer league playoffs in the 17th Annual Hazen Summer League.
The Spaulding Alumni officially began their title defense on Monday in the quarterfinals. Semifinal action will continue Wednesday night at the Cat Den, and a champion will be crowned in the Finals on Thursday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.
Hill’s program is coming off another successful winter, guiding his young Wildcat squad to their fourth consecutive Division III state title game as a fifth seed. The legendary coach is now well north of 400 career coaching wins and brought a sixth state title back to Hardwick under his tenure in 2022. He returns a talented young core next season that saw success this summer, going toe to toe out of their division in the Profile Summer Showdown and Castleton Hoop Camp against the likes of Hartford, St. Johnsbury Academy, Spaulding, Mt. Mansfield, and Burr & Burton.
