Congrats to the CCHS basketball team, which defeated Lawrence in Saturday night action to win the annual Christmas Tourney. Methuen lost to a scrappy Andover squad in the preliminary. If you haven’t had an opportunity to see some schoolboy (or schoolgirl) basketball you should give it a look. The games are fast paced and exciting. The Merrimack Valley is blessed with some of the best coaches in the State, and the local rivalries and team play make it an exciting watch. Support your local school by taking in a game!
