4 Mass. Title Games in 1 Night

Red Raiders junior Jimmy Zenevitch (pictured left) was the game-high scorer with 21. Zenevitch continues to form an unstoppable 1-2 punch down low for Central along with Desrosiers. For St. John's Prep, junior Pat Connaughton led the way with 18 points.

Division I South Boys
Madison Park beats Manfield High 72-60 in the final. Leading the way for Madison Park was a pair of seniors, center David Campbell and guard Spencer Braithwaite. Campbell scored a game-high 29 points and Braithwaite had 18 in the win. Madison Park is a very athletic team and should give Central a tough game in the East Region Finals.

Division 1 North Girls
Boy was this a heck of a girls basketball game! Andover wins it in overtime, defeating Central Catholic 69-65. Junior Natalie Gomez and sophomore Nicole Boudreau showed why they are possibly the top players in their respective classes. Gomez had 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, while Boudreau had 25 points, 11 rebounds and 9 steals. Both of these girls have very bright futures. As usual, the star for Central was senior center Katie Zenevitch. The Boston College recruit logged 20 points and 17 rebounds.

Division 1 South Girls
Mansfield
over Durfee 60-50. Mansfield got a balanced attack from Michaela Bowes (17 points), Colleen Hooper (15 points and 5 assists) and Jessica Eason (16 points and 10 rebounds). It is clear that after watching this game that when these 3 players are on their game, Mansfield is very tough to beat. Still, Andover has to be considered the favorite in the East Region Final. For Durfee, Lauren Fiola played well, finishing with 19 points and 8 boards.
