 New Haven high schools dominated Connecticut high school basketball in the 1960s, when games were televised or held at the old New Haven Arena because the high school gyms were too small to accommodate the fans.Cross High School and cross-town rival Hillhouse High School won the state championship in nine of ten years of the decade of the 1960s.One of the stars of the late 1960s teams, John "Super John" Williamson, averaged nearly 40 points per game for the Governors in 1970 and went to play college ball at New Mexico State University and star as a pro in the American Basketball Association.
