Hec, Central went from 9 down to 21 up for a 30 pt. flip. Enough said. For me, the story line was the Raiders' D. They simply never allowed medium to long range jumpers to kids who could hit them. And if you don't hit the J's against Central, you had better have multiple layups which Carson does not allow. As Hec said, he simply changes the game. Is there a better defender around than Luis Puello? He took three good point guards out of games in the tourney. CC got enough offense from Jimmy Z and a supporting cast while putting the clamps on Andover.

Also impressed with the officials who made it clear early that they would not be intimidated, while not making themselves part of the game. It's a tough balance. Nice job. LHS, great job as hosts in what's clearly the premier Christmas Tourney in the state. Also, congrats to LHS for pulling out an under-recognized third place game.

You had to feel bad for Andover, I did. They got so much hype that they were the team to beat CCHS. Andover scored 78pt's against BC high and 85pt's against Lawrence and than in there biggest game of the young season, they get shut down, 19pt's in the 2nd half. Against a team they were surpose to beat. Andover was to shut down this problem offence, a offence that doesn't have a point guard. Does CCHS have a point guard problem. I really couldn't tell. Andover found out that CCHS does have a great defence to go with that great offence.

Slow start for CC-way too many dumb turnovers-this could have been a 30 point win. Good defense made the difference in the second half.
CC hockey delt Andover its first loss 2 nights ago–CC boys hoops gave Andover boys hoops their first loss last night–CC girls hoops go for the defeat Andover triple crown all in one week tonight.

Oh and Big Z is a stud-helps to play with Carson no doubt-but the kid has unbelievable footwork for a high schooler and his jump shot is money too.

Before we annoint this team, let's take off the rose colored glasses. Way too many turnovers in the first half. Lost count at around 13. Should this happen again in the States, they lose. Better decision making by the guards is a must. Cudo's to the CCHS coaching staff for staying with player or players through a pretty rough stretch. Perhaps they would respond better to a little time on the pine. Good halftime adjustments by Coaches and better play. This team needs balanced backcourt scoring. Has to be someone quick enough to get to the rack reguarly or stick the jumpshot. Plenty of talent, hopefully someone steps up and the caoches recognize it.
As I mentioned previously, there are no challenges in the MVC. Andover, the only real threat was beaten by 15, could easily be 20-25 next go around.
Finally, “feel bad for Andover” are you kidding!

Three additional points on Carson: 1. It goes unappreciated how he controls the ball when he blocks a shot vs. simply swatting it. If you notice, Central usually gets possession off a Carson block. 2. Most of the blocks come within eight feet of the basket. Nine blocks last night would likely have translated into 12-14 pts. for Andover had he not blocked those shots. 3. He doesn't bite on the up-fake, and never fouls out. The kid is just a smart, smart team player. His presence reduces the opposition's options by 40%, which takes some of the pressure off Central's offense.

CentralFan, Nice Monday morning quarterbacking. It's only the 5th game of the season. Relax. CCHS with there new found defence will win it all. Carson goes out a winner. Just to tough of a team. The playoff are a good 14 to 15 games away. Buy then, they will have it all figured out. They have been there before, they know what to do and what teams are out there.

defence? Really?
And “buy then”. What are we purchasing?
Did you not go to English class?

I have no doubt this team will run the table in the MVC, but come tourney time, I fear they may suffer the same fate as last year on that Sunday night in Lowell, when they simply could not bring the ball up the floor. The lack of quickness at guard did them in, and this year they are worse off in that position.
Time will tell.

sp0rtsfan, Relax. Along way to go. Yes defence. Come on, you act like this coaching staff won't have it figured out by ( buy, good pick up ) than. Why do you think they added 2 tough teams ( Worcester North and Bishop Hendricken ) to it's Schedule. Playing them will tell them were they are. This year is all about Carson. He will go out a winner. Over 30 turnovers in that game against English and they still all most won. Again Relax.

sp0rtsfan, I share your concern come tourney time. No doubt they will get better but after watching last night (everyone knows the press is coming) but yet the CC guards still were hesitant to get the ball up the floor even when there was daylight-too much standing and waiting-have to pass the ball quicker to the first open man. They have to figuer that out cause they won't be the only team getting better over the next 15 games.

Maybe on a British blog but in America it is defense.
Stop telling everyone to relax-it is very annoying-guy is just sharing his thoughts on the games/teams/season.

raider4life, Relax. Love this team. You have to be positive. Now I know it's hard for you to do. Again, this team is all about Carson. He will go out a winner. 5 games into the season and your already being negitive. CCHS has to take little steps. 1st was the GLCT. You know about the other steps that they need to take. Live for today, not 15 games away. Say 3 hail marys and all that negitive feeling your having will go away. You know that, you went to CCHS.

agree with you, centralfan. That's their downfall. Carson will do what Carson does-no doubt. They've just got to have someone with the ability to get the ball down court quickly, without turning it over. A lot of careless turnovers lastnight, could very well cause them a problem come tourney time. (I know…relax, relax..) I'm sure they'll work on that and get it figured out..because though Alvarez is a great player, I doubt they want him bringing the ball up all the time. I'de want him shooting.

Andover was ranked 1st and Central 2nd?
Only alphabetically…
Congrats to the Central players!

Watching that first quarter vs. Andover, I couldn't have been the only one having scary flashbacks to Lynn English. Yes, this is a bit of a work in progress. But it's a very, very good product already. Coach Nault makes nice adjustments and, hey, they're kids. Sometimes we forget that. Bottom line is that even with a horrendous first quarter they beat a good team by 15, and it could easily have been 25.

David, fyi, CC added Hendricken six years ago and the Raiders have had the better of the series. Hendricken is good again this year but lacks height, which seems to spell doom vs. Central. North is very good, has some height and is very athletic. They knocked off highly-regarded Bridgeport (CT) Harding last night and will definitely give Central a game in what will be the game of the year on Hampshire Street.

Ok guy's, here is something I think you would like to hear. I just don't see it happening. It's only there upset pick. This is from the NERR web site. MIAA Division I – Central Catholic will be the popular choice but no poll is complete without an upset pick and so we’re going to go with Newton North. Kelley and Falzon give them an interior duo who can at least compete with Desrosiers and Zenevitch while Thrope gives Newton North the edge in the backcourt. No way this happens. CCHS will not lose a game until some time next year. Carson goes out a winner. You have to love this team. Enjoy this team because you will not see a team like this one for a long time.

Saw CCgame scrimmage NNHS for a half in Woburn –they won and Luis wouldn't let their returning PG get the ball over half court in 3 cosecutive trips. Saw CC obliterate reigning state champ (4 starters returning) ST J of S at ST J in another game scrimmage. Saw CC kill a good (but not great AHS–at least in December) while committing 28 turnovers–most of them unforced–10 from JZ and Jacob alone, I believe. AHS had 13 points in first 4 minutes almost all due to CC def lapses on breakaways–AHS only scored 22 more points in the next 26 minutes until Faz surrendered–AHS shot , I think, 18% in the 2nd half. Saw LHS–usual quickness but absolutely no D. Worcester North will play w CC for a half but no more. BUT, SJP is undefeated and just woon the BABC tourney in Chelsea w a fairly easy win over Everett in final. Very good 6' 7″ slasher in Connaughton (sorry spelling), great speed in backcourt and good shooting from 6'2″ AHS transfer, Trip Doiherty–keep an eye on SJP. The 30 plus win over BCHS by AHS is beginning to pale a bit–BCHS is ncurrently winless. Plse remeber that Carson was coming off the flu vs LEHS last March and he was (as he is now) key in breaking the press)–hye hadn't eaten in 3 days. That said CC has 2 point guards–one is the 9th man and the other is the 14th man!!! Can you actually win the ste championship without a PG? The answer is yes–because the best point guard is cue ball mentor , Rick Nault—can he compensate for such a lack—yes, again—the man said it's only December and that agonizing back and forth business coming up the court will become a little more polished–but anyway, as another blogger asked–who the hell does have a point guard—(and, please, don't sing me any Andover songs)–as anotrher writer wrote, all the CC recruiters should be fired—every single one of them–grab their credit cards and get rid of them—with all of their gifts of 50″ TV's and gold chains, they couldn't come up w one serviceable point guard—disgraceful!! As the man said , keep your eye on this CC team–you won't see its like for another generation–I don't think you will. Enjoy this blog and the talents of thr writers–keep it up, Hec

benchboy90, Great blog, A lot of information there. We have to look forward with this team. Carson is the person we all are going to say, he was on the best CCHS team ever. First of all, they do have a long way to go before we can say that. We will be saying it. CCHS has had a lot of great teams, but this one is special. Like you said, with Carson they can break the press. This team has a defense ( not defence ) that we never saw before. CCHS will be the team that will have other teams having a hard time bringing the ball up. All the talk is about the offence, which they should be talking about with all there stars. This defense with superstar Luis Puello is great. I'm not saying Jim Z. didn't desever the MVP, but you really could have made a case for Luis Puello. I could go on and on about this defense. Andover with all it's offence and all it's speed just was stopped by this defense. They never had a chance.

It's all good boys. No worries. I don't really know why I corrected his English in the first place. Set myself as the bad guy, to be sure.
No jinx here…but remember, Central was supposed to be a beast in Hazleton's senior year, and then he broke his foot, and then…well, it didn't turn out so good.

Loved ET story on Tom Sipsey, Whittier players and Hav B & G Club–what a great young man—Kevin Bradley made the steal of the decade—TS will do for BB what KB has done for FB at Whitt—Bradley is all that an AD should be—like other VVoke school athletic directors,, he has his hands filled w kids, jobs, and the like–but he has made it work—no excuses, no alibis—just cares about kids and their success—a blogger compared TS' trip to the B & G Club to Trovato, the AAU mavin, at HHS—Tom takes his kids to help Have3rhill 9 year olds–MT takes his kids to Las Vegas to help, who?—even money says that this kid Noah (last name?–sorry) who is quite a find, ends up at New Hampton or the like—Verris has to make sure that things are what they're supposed to be—Verris has to keep a sharp eye on all of his programs when so far, it's rumored, he only has his eye on Central who, he and the Andover AD, want to kick out of the league!! Who was it chairman Mao who, everytime there was a famine or the like, would start rattling sabres against the US to hopefully distract the peasnts from the their very own hunger pangs? Verris should just pay attention to his own progams and do his job and not worry about CC—-btw were any charges ever brought for that fiasco in Nashoba w the ex-Pats and the 15 and 16 yr old HS players? These ADS have to do their jobs!! Andover buries the Halloween party antics of several of its players and the parents of one and the Andover PD–what's up w that? These 2 AD's are new so can we forgive them for the Nashobe mess (Verris) and the Maglio mess (andover AD)–or should they know better? Will they hold the athletes they're responsible for to the same standards they're…uh….dealing with? This Tim Finn at LHS is absolutely the real deal—he's a real beacon of light in a pretty dismal LHS landscape—Finn, Yameen, Neilon and a few otrhers give LHS somethying to build on–let's hope that the people of Lawrence can get a new super, who respects effort and excellence and who respects the people of Lawrence and their aspirations–phew–caffeine–sorry evryone Happy New Year Hec–hope you're feling better big guy

Benchboy, glad you brought up the Prep. They took out Everett in the BABC final. I'm not sure how strong the Catholic Conference is, but SJP comes to Central on 2/17 for the Raiders' traditional final regular season game. Lynn English is hard to get a handle on. With all those transfers you wonder about chemistry. And while the talent is clearly there, they play in a cupcake conference but get Brockton in February. If CCHS had all those transfers there would be a congressional investigation. Reminds you of the revolving door that used to be Charlestown.

Please people, Do Not coronate this CC team just yet. Somebody mentioned Hazelton's foot, and other funky things happen. Hec had last year's team dubbed the “Best Ever” from the area in December and look what happened. The ingredients are there, including great leadership, but it's a long season.

benchboy90, I hope you have your facts right about them wanting to get CCHS out of the MVC. I hope your not just saying this. I for 1 don't believe it. I will only believe it when it is reported as fact and names of AD's are mentioned. The Lawrence basketball coach fighting another coach in front of the kids and Haverhill AD playing hard with the kids that got out of hand should have been fired right away. Now that is what I believe. As far as the AD in Andover, don't know why that story was allowed to die out. As far as the kid from Haverhill goes. He will not be leaving Haverhill. As long as MT is coaching there he is not going any were. MT needs this kid to make him money. He puts this kids name on the AAU Mass Rivels program. As the kid get better his stock goes up in the AAU Mass rivels program. MT will put his name and his face out there. Look at what they are doing to Carson up in NH. Anyone that is willing to pay money they will tell you that your kid could be the next Carson. It's more about the AAu programs than it is about HSBB. Every thing that I have said is a fact. Go to there web sights.

John Stark, This team is the best CCHS team ever. Your right when you say there is a long way to go. This team has what no other CCHS team has ever had. A great defense. All teams that they face will have to face Luis Puello and company when bringing the ball up. If you have gone to the games than you know it's a very hard thing to do. There is no team that will have a inside game. I mean no one. This is why they will be the best CCHS team ever. As far as the offence, you could put some other CCHS team in the past with this offence. There is no other defense you could put with this defense. Can this offence score 50 to 60 pt's in a game. Yes. Can another team score 50 to 60 pt's against this defense. No way. Again, enjoy this team, you will not see a team like this one in a long time. Just to let everyone know, I'm a Methuen fan. I try to call them the way I see them.

Sorry, Dave –that's the deal Hav and And AD's (remember, they're new) want em out and are you ready, drum roll, they wnt NAHS in!! Yep that NAHS–can't you see NA and LHS and NA and Na and Ahs selling the joint out–puhleeze!

John S is correct, of course–so we must condition our optimism w the old phrase “barring injury”. But D'97–you're more correct –they're holding opponents to under 50 ppg and that's w a lot of time from the 11-15 guys.

AQnd, oh–w all due respect–we have not seen the likes of a coach like old Baldy around here–ever!! Don't believe me chaeck out the numbers–today's quiz–how many GAMES HAS rICKY LOST AT HOME in his 3.25 seasons? Any one know? How many to Andover? How many total?

And one more thing as my wife insists thyat I join her on the beach–if I'm an AAU coach, it's all about delivering the groceries–so feed your boys to one on the NE preps and good things will happen for you–guaranteed. Does anyone ever get a peek at the nfinancial statements of these AAU teams? Wow!!

Dave and John S–I wish you lie w thyat blizzard this week-end–my bi8g worry is that the Bahamas are going to run out or rum punch—one last thing—Has Carson been a big factor in Rick's record–yes, he has—BUT—Carson's pARENTS AND cARSON AND rICK HAVE DONE A MASTERFUL JOB OF KEEPING THIS KID GROUNDED–(sorrry re caps)–I know a guy who knows a guy and I'm told if CD couldn't play one more game of BB, he would be a champiuon person and a successs—see youin a couple of weeks

Benchboy, not sure about Haverhill, but the Andover AD has made no bones about wanting Central out. Are you sure the new AD at Haverhill wants to stick his neck out on this issue so early in his tenure? My sense is that such talk has subsided since the CC-Billerica football game. But had CC beaten Billerica and gone on to win the MVC in football, you'd be hearing nothing but “Get Central Out”. The hockey and wrestling teams are off to good starts, so I'm anticipating an outbreak of Central Derangement Syndrome by February.

I'll take a stab at Coach Nault's home losses and say: 0. Of his 10 total losses (that's a staggering number in itself) virtually all of those were either in the post-season, Christmas tourney three years ago, or the tourney in Springfield. Losses vs. Andover: 0.

Obviously there are some rose colored glasses on – yes it is early in the season, but don't forget Lynn English. They are loaded and they play DEFENSE too.

benchboy90 and John Stark, Can't believe it and like I said before, I will only believe it when it is reported as fact and names of AD's are mentioned. CCHS is so good for this league. Look at the Methuen high school football program. Beating CCHS put them on the map. When I went to the game in Methuen, there wasn't that many fans to see a game seen the 1990's to watch a non thanksgiving day game. I'm against them leaving and if some AD's want them out then they should leave the MVC not CCHS. This guy in Haverhill after the rough play with the kids shouldn't even have a say. He should be gone. benchboy90, Enjoy the beach. I don't know why you wouldn't want to stay here were nights are in the teen's and the day's get to the high 20's. Good luck

Benchboy90, let's not induct Coach Nault in the sprigfield hall of fame just yet. You do realize how much talent he has had since he has taken over. Some might say he has underachieved with what he has had. i think you might be hyping him up just a bit as their are 4 other coaches in the leage who i think do more with what they have – Fazio at AHS, Neal at LHS, Charlie Micol at Chelmsford, and Mike Trovato at Haverhill. You heard it here first Raiders will get their first loss of the season Thursday night at Andover.

drethomas68, I do have to agree with you about the coaching. You could through Rich Barden in with that group of coaching. benchboy90. I thing he's got you there. The Andover game will be a practice game for CCHS. Everyone hype up Andover as the team to beat CCHS before and no one ever believed it and we don't believe it now. Andover wants to win they have to score and they can't against this team. Andover fans give it up, it's over. Baseball season is coming. I will give them a chance to beat the CCHS team.

david, your idding about Barden right? He might be the worst in the league. I will give you two clear examples. I saw a team make a 31-0 run vs methuen and Barden never called a timeout,never made an adjustment, or subsitution during the run. This yr in Xmas tourney vs CC he allowed gorman bring up the ball vs puello the entire game and puello crucified him. why not just have a big bring up the ball because CC does not bring their bigs over halfcourt. Barden may be just as bad as the tewksbury guy.

drethomas68, I started to defend Barden and Gorman. Why, I said to myself, his mine ( drethomas68 ) is all ready made up. No coach in the MVC would ever take the ball out of Gormans hands. Barden is a proving coach. drethomas68, As far as I'm concerned you pick a Andover team to beat CCHS. To me you really don't no much about high school basketball.

David, CCHS is not good for the MVC. They are great for the MVC. It is not a well-kept secret that the Andover AD wants Central out. He's told this to any CCHS administrator who cares to listen. The difference is that he's honest about it vs. some others who are more covert. I still think Andover will test the Raiders at Andover next week in a bump and grind, lots of fouls and loose ball scrambles kind of game, but Central will still come out on top. If so, there will be two big games remaining: vs. Worcester North and at Bishop Hendricken.

drethomas, Nobody's inducting Rick Nault into the HOF yet. The reason Raider Nation embraces him is because he has it all in perspective. He reflects the Mission of the school because he is a product of that Mission. Most kids on the frosh and jv teams didn't know one another until a month ago. The common denominator becomes Central's Mission, which is embodied by Rick Nault. First and foremost he's a top shelf person, and does not indulge the egos that can show up from time to time.

All that said dr., you're right, Gorman didn't have room to breath vs. Puello. Better to have somebody else bring it up and run Gorman through some screens to at least TRY for some open looks. There was a point when I felt bad for the kid.

Good comments–good people–I'm uncomfortable using the nmaes of young kids–I don't agree re the coaches mentioned except Fazio; maybe Neal; I hope ,the Methuen guy–never heard of the Chelmsford guy–JS is correct–the CC kids met 8 or 9 weeks ago–the AHS kids have been playing together for 3 and a half years–what's thgat mean? Tell me.

John Stark, You really believe AHS has a chance against CCHS. I'll be honest, I thought you would agree with me. Please tell me how are they going to score against this defense. I'm dying to hear your answer. Please tell me what you think the score will be. My score 60 to 40 in a game the will be laughable. As far as AD'S wanting CCHS out of the MVC, like I sais before, I will only believe it when it is reported as fact and names of AD's are mentioned. Also, please tell me who would have brought the ball up for methuen if not Gorman. Remember James Stapes got hurt in that game and did not play. benchboy90, I know you don't want to hear this but, Rich Barden is one of the best coaches in the MVC. Also I really don't want to hear that these kids only started playing 6 to 8 weeks ago. These kids are basketball players and alot of them have played together in AAU programs and other basketball programs. These kids are just like any kid that gets on a high school team. I'm sorry but, CCHS has the best defense that I have ever seen in high school basketball.

David, Can u please give it a rest with the Coach Barden nonsense. Is this the same Coach Barden who's more talented methuen squad only beat Lawrence Voke by only 2 points. Like i said in my previous post he doesn't make any in game adjustments. To answer your question – what you against Central is have 1 of the guys who is covered by Zenevitch or Desrosiers bring it up the court. For Methuen that shouldnt be a problem because they always have 4 guards on the floor at once. It is a pretty simple solution since the CC bigs only play their men inside the 3 point circle

drethomas68, Not going to go back and forth about Rich Barden. I know you don't know much about high school basketball. It shows in your answer about how Methuen should have brought the ball up. Andover has better guards than Methuen and they all had a hard time bringing the ball up. Let me say this 1 more time, Methuen's best 2 players are hurt. I picked GL to beat methuen. It has nothing to do with Rich Barden. John starks if your going to give me a answer like he just did. Don't answer me. drethomas68, Give me a score in the AHS vs CCHS. You like AHS so much how are they going to beat them.

Boys, boys, boys….come on…let's all calm down.

1–Leaders of the oust CC pack==Veris from Haverhill and the Andover guy–don't believe benchboy? Call both of them up and ask em. One GL AD is on stealth patrol against CC and won't come out and say it–I hear he's pretty smart to keep his mouth shut. Tim Finn loves the LHS/CC rivalry as does the Chelmsford guy

2—D97—I hear all good things re Coach Barden and his fine PG.

3—No==what benchboy said was that the entering CC freshman only met each other (most of them) after Labor Day and then he compared that to most places, especially Andover, where their freshman have been on the same travel team for 3 or 4 years–He then speculated that that might be an advantage–no? (One CC frosh played AAU ball but he's since transferred–another played in NH).

4—Dreth–I take it that you're not a BB coach , right? Do you really think that Rick Nault would just sit there and let an unmolested big bring the ball up against his defense? And, oh yeah, Ricky Nault “underachieving”–really? I'm told he has never lost to Andover as a JV or varsity coach–is that corect? I'm told he's lost 4 MVC games in 4 years–come on, dreth–give the guy a break.

4MVC, I really doubt that Nault has never lost vs AHS, really doubt it!!!!

David, Andover by 6 on thursday night. You really think bramabull is going to have another game like he did the other night. Don't think so. Nault will continue to have carson outside and he wont be a factor. They will pack it in and force Morales, puello, and co.. to beat them from the outside.

drethomas68, You must be a 12yr old Andover fan. ( Andover by 6 ) Really. ( bramabull ) Will be treated like everyone else they face and will be shut down, again. ( Nault will continue to have carson outside and he wont be a factor ). Really. You really believe Carson will not be a factor. ( They will pack it in and force Morales, puello, and co.. to beat them from the outside ). Really, no inside game. OK. Good Luck. I will be there to watch this happen. Like I have said before. CCHS 60 and Andover 40 in what will be a laughable game. I don't think Andover will hit 40 but, when they start putting in the bench anything could happen but lose. drethomas68, Isn't kind of late for you to be up.

Dreth–RN has vever lost to Andover—he's 18 and 0 on both levels!!! Call the AHS AD's office and check it out. And compare that Andover AD clown to the great Kevin Bradley, Whittier AD, spot-lighted in Bill Burt's terrific article today. Bradley is every single thing that you want in a HS AD–a leader, an administrator, a mentor, a shrewd judge of talent, truly an outstanding person–I can't believe the score he made on snatching Tommy Sipsey right from under everyone's collective noses. Congratulations, Bill–great work!!

Either you don't understand the game, or you are just trying to stir the pot.
Do you honestly have to have it explained to you, why, in many cases, Nault has Carson outside? (aside from the fact that he is quite good out there).
Really?

David, I think what I said is that Andover “will test” the Raiders. I think CCHS will win, probably by 12-15 again. Faz will have his players believing Central is the anti-Christ. As was the case in the Christmas Tourney it will be close at halftime. Big crowd noise but CC's used to it. In the second half, when emotions matter less than talent, Central will take over. Lots of fouls, borderline chippy game. But my guess is that Coach Nault will focus on Chelmsford first. Again, don't coronate the Raiders just yet.

Lowell beat Central two year ago at Lowell. Can somebody name another MVC loss for Coach Nault, including ANY vs. Andover?

John Stark and others, Please stop living in the past. Love this team ( CCHS ). You have to look forward with this team. No one beats this team. I mean no one. They have it all. In 2006,07 CCHS lost to Lawrence 3 times, 1st time in the GLCT. Other 2 were reg.season games. Lawrence owned them that year.

Hector, I would like you to see what I have as a Fan. 4. #1) CCHS, That was easy. 2,3 and 4 are up in the air. I don't see a solid 2,3 or 4. Lawrence has 0 defense. Andover only beat N. Andover by 2. Salem N.H. really did not impressed me. I know a lot of people are not going like what I'm about to say but, Pinkerton played hard in the GLCT to be part of this wide open Fan. 4. They play Salem N.H. tomorrow night in a game I think they will win to prove my point. Methuen is hurting. N. Andover is another team that played hard in the GLCT to be part of this wide open Fan. 4. What do you think.
