Central Catholic recap North finals recap …

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Mar 9th, 2009 View Comments

So it’s over. The ninth and final North playoff entry from our region, Central Catholic, has bowed out. Hey, Lynn English was good, quick as that mid-afternoon thunderstorm at Disneyworld. One quick sub-note here: If you can’t make it to the Garden tonight for the Central girls game with Brockton and you’re looking to keep [...]

Come, admit it, you guys were worried … Hello Billy Marsden. Bye Bye Classical

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Mar 4th, 2009 View Comments

Another vintage tourney performance out of Central Catholic and Billy Marsden to take out Lynn Classical. Ricky Nault took offense when I told him at Lawrence-Somerville that no team scrapped like the Lancers scrapped. He took it as a shot at his team’s defense. I guess with all of Carson’s blocks and all of Marsden’s [...]

Tourney talk after the Everett win over Andover

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Feb 28th, 2009 View Comments

Chiming in on the North tourney…. First and foremost, I’d like to personally thank the MIAA for scheduling 11 games at 7 p.m. on Saturday night. Heaven forbid, there were three at 1 p.m., four at 4 p.m. and 4 at 7 p.m., so the hoop fan could be a part of more than one. [...]

Talking all things Andover and wondering aloud about the weekend…

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Feb 25th, 2009 View Comments

Sorry this is a bit late, but I zonked early last night. I’d like to chime in on the Andover-Malden game I was at last night. First off an impressive performance on the Warrior account, with a No. 4 knocking off a No. 13. 1. The kinder, gentler David Fazio truly works. For those of [...]

Please say it ain’t so … Did I just see what I think I just saw??? .. All right, I’m rest and calm. As an old editor of mine once penned, “Let’s Discuss.’

Time to ponder: it’s 12 hours later, I’m well rested and I have to recant some of what has been here. In the words of my man Alan Siegel, mea culpa. I was emotional, saw what I saw and let my crazy side take over. What followed here was my imagination getting the better of [...]

Blame Bill Belichick… Blame Tom Brady … Heck, blame Zak DeOssie … But, finally, Longo comes clean and explains the inexplicable … (Talking more boys hoop!!!)

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo, Uncategorized on Feb 23rd, 2009 View Comments

Hi, I’m Hector Longo. And I admit it, finally. I’ve been jaded. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it has to be the only explanation. Who would have thought that “chilly” afternoon in Phoenix had such an impact on my life? I have to finally, after more than a year admit that the 2007 [...]

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 [...]
