    New London and St. Bernard will now be part of a boys’ basketball state tournament semifinal doubleheader on Wednesday at Hillhouse High School’s Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven.

    The fourth-seeded Whalers, whose CIAC Division III semifinal against No. 1 Bloomfield on Tuesday was postponed because of a winter storm, will play the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader at 7:30 p.m.

    The top-seeded Saints will face No. 5 Xavier in a Division II semifinal at 5:30 p.m.

    Two other local teams will also play their semifinal games on Wednesday. No. 4 Griswold will play No. 1 Cromwell in a Division IV game at Waterford High School at 7 p.m., while No. 10 Lyman Memorial faces No. 6 Shepaug Valley in a Division V game at Maloney High in Meriden, also at 7.
