HAMDEN — It wasn’t supposed to happen the way it did, but for Stamford, it didn’t matter.
After the original play Black Knights’ coach Diane Burns drew up broke down, Jessica Nelson took it upon herself to take the ball to the basket and scored on a layup at the buzzer as Stamford (11-2) knocked off Hamden, 40-38, Wednesday night in an interconference girls’ basketball contest at Hamden High School.
