I’m online at J.Michael’s if anyone wants to talk Friday night hoops

I agree with Jim. Lighten up, Davey D.
The MVC has grown by leaps and bounds lately.
It said a lot last year that it was an all-MVC final in the North, with Central over Lowell in the toughest game of the Raiders’ tourney run.

Hey Astros, in the words of John Sebastian: Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back … Longo’s latest Fantastic Four is up … Time to vent on the Granite State again … You wanted NH hoop talk, you’ve got it baby.

OK, I’m becoming annoying (some would say already been there for a while, that’s fine) and repetitive, but I have to go on the attack about the hoop scene in the Granite State and plead for the NHIAA to do something about it.
That pin drop you can hear in 90 percent of the gyms around [...]

Catching up with one legit catcher, New Mexico Junior College-bound Ronny Rosario of Haverhill

Posted in Baseball, Hector Longo on Jan 28th, 2009 Comments

Caught up with a physically-menacing Ronnie Rosario at the Haverhill boys hoop game Tuesday night.
Rosario looks like a man, stress that word man, on a mission. He’s bulked up some, looks dynamite and has clearly hit the weight room hard as his senior season behind the plate for the Hillies approaches.
After thinking he was headed [...]

Never too early to start talking tourney … Who’s in, who’s out, who’d better start winning really quick…

It’s never too early to start thinking about the state EMass boys hoop tournament, which is now less than a month away.
Right now, the region can boast three automatic qualifiers, that is teams who’ve wrapped up the magic number of 50 percent wins.
They are:
Central Catholic … 11-1 thanks to Sunday’s 32-point win over the Rangers [...]

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Jan 21st, 2009 Comments

I’ll start the conversation with a new, upated Fantastic Four for the week.
Never in my life would I have thought 2-3-4 would be so tough.
How can I in clear conscience leave Andover No. 2 after the loss Tuesday night at Dracut?
Yes, they were on the second day of a back-to-back. Yes, it was Dracut after [...]

Again, allow to drill this point home, this is a must-see for the true hoop junkie as long as it remains such a high caliber event.
Central Catholic’s Carson Desrosiers was named to the third team for his 23-point, 13-rebound night [...]
