No one really gave Fairfield Prep a chance going up against defending state champion Sacred Heart of Waterbury in the first round of the Class LL state tournament on Tuesday.

The Jesuits (9-11), ranked 29th, certainly had their work cut out for them playing the fourth-ranked Hearts (17-3) on the road.

Someone forgot to tell Fairfield Prep that this wasn’t supposed to be a game.

In the end, Sacred Heart ended the Jesuits season with a 69-61 victory, but it didn’t come without a few anxious moments.
