Stratford High will play for the Class L state championship after coach Paul Dudzinski’s Red Devils fought off Wilbur Cross to win a 69-61 decision in the semifinals played before a voracious crowd of 1,200 fans at Fairfield Warde on Tuesday night.

Stratford (26-0) will play New London (22-1) with a opportunity to add another state title to the one it captured in the M Division back in 2008.
