Wrapping up another crazy hoop weekend …

Posted in Hector Longo on Mar 15th, 2009 Comments

Congrats to all the champs crowned in the region, Central girls on the hardwood, Pinkerton Academy and Timberlane on the ice.
You guys deserve all kinds of credit.
Ok, now for some hoop talk.
Took in the NH twinbill yesterday, watching Portsmouth over Pelham for the Class I title in the matinee and then Salem obliterating BG in [...]

Central Catholic recap North finals recap …

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Mar 9th, 2009 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 up with [...]

Central Catholic at Tsongas

Posted in Hector Longo on Mar 8th, 2009 Comments

Marsden 24, CD 15, but it was the Ryan Woumn show with 25, 20 in the second half.
Game Over
71-60 final. CC falls
3:46 … Marsden three makes it 58-50.

Ryan Woumn has been unstoppable. CC got to sevent, he scored on drive, a tear-dropper over Carson and a steal and layin.
Marsden is playing heroically in a [...]

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

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Mar 4th, 2009 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 bombs, plus the [...]

Tourney talk after the Everett win over Andover

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Feb 28th, 2009 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.
You figure the [...]

Talking all things Andover and wondering aloud about the weekend…

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Feb 25th, 2009 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 you who don’t know [...]

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 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 Patriots scarred me [...]

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.

Posted in Basketball, Hector Longo on Jan 28th, 2009 Comments

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 around [...]

Catching up with one legit catcher, New Mexico Junior College-bound Ronny Rosario of Haverhill

Posted in Baseball, Hector Longo on Jan 28th, 2009 Comments

Caught up with a physically-menacing Ronnie Rosario at the Haverhill boys hoop game Tuesday night.
Rosario looks like a man, stress that word man, on a mission. He’s bulked up some, looks dynamite and has clearly hit the weight room hard as his senior season behind the plate for the Hillies approaches.
After thinking he was headed [...]
