Central Catholic’s Josh Lavallee watched his Tom Brady motivational videos Tuesday and listened to “Hall of Fame” by the group The Scripts.

Central Catholic sophomore Ryan Lavallee of Haverhill continued his white-hot play with a 71 to earn co-medalist honors in a 130-golfer field at the Division 2 North sectionals. He tied with Danvers' Jared Mscisz. The last Raider to win a sectional title? They've had some greats but the answer is Central's third-year head coach Eric Boucher. Central junior Mikey Yfantopulos tied for eighth with a 75. Central didn't have a complete team so they weren't in the team rankings. Lavallee earned his title in style, sinking a bogey on the final hole on the par-72 Four Oaks Country Club course in Dracut. Last Thursday he won the MVC Open. The Division 2 States are at Marshfield Country Club, Tuesday, 10 a.m.
