Had to talk just a little more hoops this weekend. I tried to write all I could in Sunday’s Eagle-Tribune column, but you know I ran out of time. Silly deadlines and all. I was thinking about Division 1 North last night, and how things are shaping up. Central Catholic, as one of its many [...]

ZWow, a gritty win by Central Catholic last night, edging Lawrence, 57-53. Give Central credit for taking charge, playing at its own pace and not the Lancers frenetic, crazed uptempo. Huge night for Nick Cambio. In the key second-half sequence which saw a tie game grow to a 40-30 lead, Cambio had a tough finish [...]

Not to get on anyone here, but is there a legitimate reason for CC and Lawrence to be playing on a Tuesday night, instead of Friday? The fact is, I don’t care. After a week away I am so fired up about tonight’s Valley collision between the Lancer and Raider boys. Lawrence, a 2-point overtime [...]

The burden has just grown, and Fabrizio decided what [...]

OK, went over to Hillies and Rangers tonight at Klimas Fieldhouse, where I really have no idea what happened to the entrance. Tough break for Methuen as Kyle Mansour went down with what looked like a bad ankle sprain or twist in the first minute. What is it with ankles this year. Central’s Luis Puello, [...]

A pretty good one is one tap tonight in North Andover with East Boston in for a 7 p.m. tipoff at the Crozier Fieldhouse. Great test for the Knights, who have been without Colby Smith on the point the last few games, from what I’ve been told is an ankle injury. Jimmy Warden is back [...]
