Wow. Fifteen minutes talking to one of the most polished, most genuine, intelligent and gentlemanly 15-year-olds i have come across in nearly 20 years at the newspaper. With all the rumors circling around Georgetown High sophomore Jaymie Spears, I made a special trip to Wilmington where the Royals were readying to challenge the CAL large [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Spalding HoopHall Classic announced the three all-tourney teams from the weekend festivities out at Springfield. 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, [...]

My apologies on today’s Eagle-Tribune. Meant to have the weekly scoring leaders in there, but with all the hoop action, we ran out of time. I will have them ready for print, when space permits, either Monday or Tuesday. Again, sorry about that. HL
Because of the snow, the No. 2 Brockton boys will now come to Andover, Monday at 3 p.m. for the varsity tip.

Sorry about not live-blogging from Springfield where Central Catholic battled American Heritage of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to an 82-77 loss. I can not take the blame. The wireless access was horrendous, to the point where i couldn’t hook in. I promise plenty on the Raiders and the HoopHall Classic here and in tomorrow’s Eagle-Tribune, though. [...]

Before we hit the hardwood I want to talk baseball, just for a minute. First, there is the opening at Masconomet, one of the marquee Division 2 programs in EMass. After only two seasons, Joe Marchesi is moving on. What a great program to inherit. Talked to ex-coach Pete Delani and he says although he [...]

A couple points after watching Central knock off Lawrence before a nice crowd. While lawrence continues to struggle mightily on offense, you have to like the game played by Carson Desrosiers, who answered Lawrence’s physical challenge. Kind of a ho-hum game, but I’m sure Ricky Nault will take it. One note that missed the newspaper [...]

All right, now that I’ve gotten your attention, I’m just stating that instead of a top 10, I’m tired of reaching for those teams that just don’t deserve the notoriety. Therefore, Longo’s Top 10 in football, boys basketball and baseball will now be pared down. In honor of Andover’s Mike Chiklis, who was such a [...]
