    Colchester — Sophomore Valerie Luizzi scored a game-high 17 points to lead Bacon Academy to a 52-52 win over No. 4 Norwich Free Academy in a girls' basketball game on Friday night.

    Luizzi made a pair of free throws with 17 seconds left to give Bacon (16-3) a 53-49 lead. NFA's Jada Mills, who scored all 14 of her points in the fourth quarter, made a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left. Bacon turned the ball over, but NFA's shot at the buzzer was off the mark.
