OK, a couple final thoughts before calling it a night here. Adrian’s final numbers (Sorry it wasn’t earlier coach Leavitt) 28 points on 11 of 15 shooting, 12 boards, five assists, four steals and a couple blocks. And he added all the intangibles, guts, grit, determination. It was a performance to stake a career on. [...]
We have a wild back and forth game at the Lundholm with both teams raining threes. It’s 25 =25 with 1:31 left in the half. Trinity’s Steve Rice just landed on his backside after a long 3 and Josh Frederico answered his Trinity counterpart with a long 2-pointer. Salem takes 27-25 lead on Kevin Sledge [...]

Let’s face it, it was a tough day at the Garden for Mr. Longo, who was wrong on all three predictions. But I made a little comeback at halftime when I went with five keys to Central rallying and getting back into the game with BC high. How’d I do on those, you be the [...]

Stray ideas from a hoop invaded mind. For the record, the tally is now 15 games watched in 14 days. Can’t say enough about the crowd and the atmosphere from Central-Lowell the other night. If you’re a Valley guy, a hoop guy, it was like a convention of sorts. So many familiar faces, too many [...]

Eight games in eight straight nights for these eyes, and North Andover vs. Reading delivered as the top game of them all, so far. What a comeback, even though North Andover, which fought back like a champion, came out on the short end. Watching Steve Boudreau squeeze every ounce of guts, talent and ability out [...]

Tuesday’s Central Catholic boys basketball game vs. Charlestown, which had been scheduled for Lawrence High, has been moved to Reading High. Central A.D. Pete Paladino said the switch was made yesterday morning to make the game more centrally located. Tip-off for the Division 1 North semifinal game is still at 7 p.m. The Raiders are [...]
If Malden was thinking upset, it showed up to the wrong gym on Saturday night as Central Catholic pounded the rather physical (This is being very nice!) Golden Volcanoes, 86-57. The best word to describe Carson Desrosiers performance, I’d use special. Fourteen blocks. He just closes down the hoop, puts a lock on it. It’s [...]

In the middle of a great time of year with super hoops daily. All right folks, who wins in Division 1 North and why? Leave me some predictions. Here are some random thoughts on a late Friday night. Toughest break possible, and my heart goes out to him, it’s Timberlane’s Drew Smith. Smith and the [...]

Left a little feedback on my previous post dealing with Alan Siegel’s high-powered Sunday story on slam dunks. Would love to hear some interesting comments on who your favorite area dunkers of all time are. Watched Central Catholic dismantle A-B last night. It was great to see legendary Central coach Dick Licare at the Raiders/A-B [...]

Just back from Central’s 75-56 win over St. John’s Prep. The Raiders, rated No. 1 in the Rallynorth.net rankings, turned this one into a laugher early. Some thoughts on the important stuff first. Credit the classy folks at CC for understanding the immense emotions this version of Senior Night took on with the tragic passing [...]
