All right, you have to shake your head and wonder what the schedule makers were thinking. From now on, Central-Andover boys is a Friday night game, folks. Friday, not Tuesday, Friday. Expect the crowd to be down for this one, because of the night, but that doesn’t diminish the game. Tough to figure what happens [...]

I will say that the pro-Central, anti-Central crowd is like the Obama vs. the right agenda. It’s all so precise, nobody will give an inch. Nobody can sit in the middle. Say 99 good things about Central and one, “Eh” comment and you feel the wrath of what one CC guy once dubbed lovingly the, [...]

Congrats to Central Catholic on a tidy, business-like Christmas tourney win. Optimist, pessimist, I don’t know where this leaves me, but if I’m the rest of the MVC and the rest of D1 for that matter, I do not want to see the “other” Raiders step it up like they did against Andover. Simply put, [...]

Ok, I’ve been a little lax lately, took a vacation with the family over Christmas, stayed away from the blog, got enticed by Capital One Bowl Week on ESPN, and I haven’t put the words to the blog in a while. I’m back and ready. So, here goes: All you naysayers, whining about the Christmas [...]

A broken bone in her hand, suffered last night, will cost Central Catholic all-Scholastic Katie Zenevitch at least the upcoming Christmas tourney and the first couple weeks of January. Zenevitch had four points and missed the second half in the opening night win.

OK, it’s not the kind of evidence that would convict, hell I’m not even sure of hearsay is admissable, but an Eagle-Tribune staffer relayed the story to me that Ricky Nault, yes Central’s Ricky Nault, picked his team fourth in the Merrimack Valley Conference. Fourth!!! Folks, I’m only going to chastise Ricky and his unfathomable [...]

His 20th season fast approaching, Andover High boys basketball coach David Fazio is reaching out to his alums. “All 97 of them I hope,” said Fazio, who will host a 20th-Season Alumni Game, Friday, November 28, the day after Thanksgiving at 2 p.m. in the Dunn Gymnasium. After the game, the coach will host a [...]
Coach Ricky Nault ran off the names of the Division 1 schools bouncing in and out of the Valley to get an up close look at Carson Desrosiers. arizona state, Tulsa and Marquette are among the last wave of suitors for the 6-10 forward. Desrosiers, remember, is still only a junior. His senior teammate, Billy [...]
Ran into coach Rick Nault at the Raider baseball game yesterday. A couple nuggets there: Senior point guard Wilfredo Pagan will head to Merrimack, where he’ll most likely play for Bert Hammel on the Lawrence Boys Club scholarship. Sixth man KB Oshodi is still leaning toward Drexel in Philly. Junior guard Billy Marsden still has [...]

Sure, this is usually a high school sports blog, but we’re between seasons now, and while I wait for the diamonds to dry around the Merrimack Valley, all I can seem to focus on these days is the NCAA tourney. You’ll find no more staunch backer of NCAA basketball than me. Like many forty-somethings, I [...]
