OK, some late night fodder for your early morning digestion on Central’s 61-51 win over Andover in boys hoop Friday night. Not sure where I can start on this, so maybe I will try the front door, which greeted me with a sign that read, “Central vs. Andover Basketball” $8. As in eight bucks a [...]
Luis Puello’s ankle will again keep him out of the lineup tonight for Central-Andover. Not totally sure what to make of this one, other than the fact it will be look at the Dunn Gym tonight. Have to admit, the bloggage back and forth here has been a little weak this week. Maybe I kicked [...]

55 fouls, 66 free throws and about 1,000 heads shaking as they departed the Lawrence High Fieldhouse. “Awful” said one friend of mine. “Worst Christmas tourney final I’ve ever seen,” said another.

Wow … That’s the best way to sum up the Lawrence comeback over North Andover. Down 15 at the half, 11 after three quarters, Lawrence’s effort was a display of will. They made NA play their own pace for 32 minutes, and it finally paid off in the final 8. Franklin Martinez was amazing, hit [...]

As you guys know, I’m pretty tight into Haverhill sports. And baseball in the region. I try to be as objective as possible, not one [...]
North Andover took it to Masco in their annual non-leaguer, 65-44. Some thoughts on NA, real quick. The sophomore, Brendan Miller, is a good one. He had 9 in the first half as he, Isaiah Nelsen and Mike Moroney torched the Chieftains on the glass. This one was never really a contest, which brings the [...]

All right, the first Friday night is in the books, and honestly, it’s good to see the fellas on court again after all the garbage. Still, Andover remains in the headlines, this after the Warriors’ quick 2-0 start. Look reality is that no matter who this team plays, potentially other than a matchup with King [...]

Folks, after hearing from a couple of additional sides on this, I would like to make some additions. The additions, mainly because I have been told my opinions on this were/are unfair, are in bold. The original stuff is left in regular type. I still feel the way I did. I just want to clear [...]
Dave Fazio is back coaching at Andover High, having been reinstated from his Administrative Leave. Sources at Andover High have Fazio back and practicing the team today. Alan Hibino and Carol Martini had been running things in the interim.
