Big team wins and big individual performances were the hallmarks of this Friday night in area arenas.

The Wilcox Tech and Maloney girls basketball teams were winners on the road, while Cheshire knocked off East Haven at home and Southington won the fourth quarter to turn away Wethersfield.

Two Meriden players had remarkable performances, albeit in defeat. Morrison Beck of Wilcox Tech cranked out 40 points in a loss to Wolcott Tech, while Antwanette Tann had a 19-point, 21-rebound double-double in Platt’s loss to Bloomfield.

Also, in swimming, two unbeaten area teams — Southington and the Meriden Co-op — went head to head, with the Blue Knights gliding away with the win. Here are the details.

Wilcox Tech 52, Wolcott Tech 37: The Wildcats took this CTC contest in Torrington by 15 points and it wasn’t even that close.

Wilcox built leads of 26-7 by halftime and 44-16 by the end of three quarters to notch their third straight victory.

Freshman Sadie Vernon drained eight shots from the field and went 5-for-8 at the line to tally a season-high 21 points.
