I did not have a chance to make it to the first day of the Boys Basketball Christmas Tourney being played this year in Lawrence, but I am sure there was some great basketball played. Methuen lost to the undefeated Andover squad by a score of 60-47. Coach Fazio up in Andover has put together a great team again. In other action it was Lawrence 67, North Andover 44, the State Champion Central Catholic Red Raiders 64, Pinkerton 35, while Salem defeated Greater Lawrence 76- 53. The Tournament continues Monday December 29th , with North Andover vs. Pinkerton at 2:30 p.m, Greater Lawrence vs. Methuen, 4:15 p.m, Lawrence vs. Central Catholic, 6 p.m, and Salem vs. Andover, 7:45 p.m. If you want to see some truly great basketball head on over to Lawrence High School for some real barnburners. See you there!
