Sorry conscience, I can’t hold it in. I can’t help myself. Final score, East Boston 75, Lawrence 71. Free throws: Lawtown 4 of 9, Eastie 21 of 36 Yeah, I whine when the local team is on the wrong end of things. I know it. Maybe I am a homer. And to tell you the [...]

I second the motion. All in favor? “IIIIII!!!!!!” Opposed? (crickets chirping). The I’s have it, so enough with the ludicrous, “who’s a good 6th grade coach” talk. Andover is through to the quarters, and how about Whittier Tech knocking off the Sachems of Pentucket. I realize Pentucket won’t be confused with the Celtics (both wear [...]

If you missed the Central-St. John’s Prep boys game, you missed a classic. Frenetic, edge-of-your-seat stuff from the opening tip. Here are 10 quick thoughts: 1. For better or worse, the Prep wanted to take it to Carson Desrosiers. 13 blocks and at least 10 other altered shots later, you wonder if driving and kicking [...]

OK, took in the Comcast IAABO Board 27 Tournament boys title game tonight between Central Catholic and Newton North. Can I use this forum to plead with the MIAA to stick with two-man officiating teams in the upcoming tournament. Pay these guys the money, I don’t care. Give a third guy a payment, just to [...]

Took in the boys half of the Andover-North Andover doubleheader over at a packed Crozier Fieldhouse. 30-9 Andover out of the gate and the Warriors never looked back. Awesome job by the Knights’ students, who came out en masse for what turned into a non-contest. You got the feeling the Knights might have been a [...]
Just talked to Rick Nault, got a quick update on Jimmy Zenevitch. Nault said he’s 50/50 for Friday, but he has to be a realist. Central could rest Zenevitch over the weekend against Lawrence and undefeated Bishop Hendricken, and those results … in the grand scheme of things … don’t matter – so long as [...]

Wow, an impressive night over on Hampshire Street with the Raiders and Warriors. I’ve said it before, Central, which rolled 61-47, is just too big and talented for Andover. Does that mean the Warriors won’t be able to pull off an upset, say in March? Not necessarily, but it’s clear the Warriors are struggling with [...]
