LYNN — North Andover senior David Foote hasn’t had too many outfield assists while playing center field during his baseball career, but he had a huge one yesterday.

Just in time for the tournament, North Reading's bats have come alive as shown by its 16-hit effort in a 10-3 Clancy Tourney victory against Lynn Classical. Along with a six-hit pitching performance, leadoff man Ryley Warnock had two singles, a double and a triple to drive home three runs. The hottest bat in the Hornet lineup, Nick Moscaritolo added 4 hits as he's gone 9 for 12 in his last three games. As a team, North Reading has averaged 11 runs and 14 hits during its five-game winning streak.

Will Ingraham's bases-loaded , two-RBI single ignited a six-run Georgetown rally in the second inning as the Royals opened the season with a 9-8 win over Lynn Classical. Jared Lathrop (2 for 4) followed with a two-run double and Ryan Browner pitched a complete game to earn the win.

In North Andover's win over Lynn Classical, Jill McVey had a whopping 29 service points and the team scored 16 aces.

Throughout the fourth quarter North Andover played with a sense of desperation. But in the end, it was the desperation from the Lynn Classical side that put an abrupt ending to the Knights' season.

LAWRENCE - Was it the seat, no-look over-the-heard pass to Benny Fernandez?

Or maybe the cute little pullup "J" to give Central Catholic a 48-42 lead heading into the fourth quarter?

GLOUCESTER - In case anyone forgot what kind of dimension Taylor Burbine adds to the Gloucester High football team's offense, what happened on Friday night at Newell Stadium served as a reminder.

Gloucester picked up a hard-earned point with the draw. Jennavie Orrell, Clare Pleuler, Lizzy Scatterday and Mishelle Wood played well for the Fishermen.

Every point is vital these days for the Fishermen (1-4-4) and they came back from down two goals at home to tie the Rams. Frank Taormina scored in the 50th minute from Chris Peritore while teammate Alex Trotsky tied it up four minutes later off an assist from Jeff Amero. 

Josh Salah fired a 38 to lead the way for the Fishermen (5-4). Arthur Choate, Tyler Quince, Sean Kennedy and Geoff Kennedy also played well for Gloucester.
