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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
