MIAA DIVISION 4 BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Maguire,Abingtonfindrange

By Matt Doherty

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Abington 67

Snowden 51

It took Matt

Maguire some

time to find

his shooting stroke, but once he

did, Abington’s junior guard

did not miss again.

Maguire bounced back from

a cold-shooting first half by

making all nine of his shots in

the second, helping the Green

Wave pull away in the third

quarter and cruise to a 67-51

win over Snowden in a Division

4 state semifinal Tuesday at TD

Garden.

With the win, Abington

(22-5) advanced to Saturday’s

state final against Hopedale

(20-4), where the Green Wave

will look to avenge last year’s

55-52 defeat in the title game to

Worcester Tech.

“You got to get used to the

backdrop,” said Maguire, who

finished a game-high 25 points.

“But my coaches just told me to

keep shooting and stay confi-

dent and they ended up all fall-

ing in the second half.”

Abington led, 22-16, at half-

time, and then nearly duplicat-

ed its first-half point total in the

third quarter to take control.

Maguire, who was 2 for 10 in

the first half, netted 14 points

in the frame, connecting on a

pair of triples from each corner

for a 40-24 lead.

On the defensive end, Abing-

ton’s 1-2-2 zone gave Snowden

fits. The Green Wave forced 30

turnovers and used those steals

to get out and run in transition.

Guards Thomas Fanara, Colby

Augusta, and Antwone Graham

combined for seven steals, and

fed Maguire and 6-foot-8-inch

Cam Curney (13 points, 13 re-

bounds) often for easy layups.

As a result, Abington

opened up a commanding 20-

point lead in the fourth quarter.

“We went up and saw

Snowden on Friday and we

thought the zone was the best

way to beat them,” Abington

coach Peter Serino said. “We

don’t play a lot of zone but we’re

willing to do whatever it takes

to put us in the best position to

win.”

Junior guard Jarod McCla-

nahan led Snowden (18-5),

playing in the school’s first state

semifinal, with 13 points. Javier

Ellis, the team’s lone senior, fin-

ished with 5 points, 10 re-

bounds, and 3 blocks.

“Thirty turnovers and 13

missed free throws, that’s the

story of the game,” Snowden

coach Paul Rogers said. “But I

still love my team. I told my

guys I see Snowden on the jum-

botron and for me personally I

appreciate their efforts to get us

here. I hope that we come back

stronger next year.”

Northeastern bid falls short

By Elliott Smith

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

Hofstra7 0

NU 61

WASHINGTON
— Eight min-
utes away from
an unlikely NCAA Tournament
berth, the Northeastern bas-
ketball team held a 4-point
lead despite getting virtually
nothing from its leading scorer,
foul trouble, injury woes, and a
raft of turnovers.
You don’t win many games
like that, however, and eventu-
ally, those problems become
too much to overcome.
The sixth-seeded Huskies
ran out of gas and miracles in a
bitter 70-61 defeat to top-seed-
ed Hofstra in the Colonial Ath-
letic Association championship
game Tuesday at the Entertain-
ment & Sports Arena, denying
NU its second straight confer-
ence title.
“Unfortunately, we came up
about 20 minutes short,” Hus-
kies coach Bill Coen said. “It
was a very competitive game
overall and these guys played
their hearts out.”
The Huskies (17-16) held a
48-4 4 advantageattheeight-
minute media timeout after
leading by as many as 8 points
in the first half, but NU lost its
momentum and the lead in a

hurry, as back-to-back 3-point-

ers from Jalen Ray gave the

Pride a lead they would not re-

linquish.

NU had no answer for

Hofstra’s veteran leaders,

Desure Buie and Eli Pember-

ton, who combined for 39

points and several clutch bas-

kets as the Pride closed the

game out after the Huskies

trimmed the deficit to 54-52

with 4:57 left.

“They made big shot after

big shot,” Coen said. “You have

to tip your hat to them.”

In its third contest in as

many nights, NU wasn’t partic-

ularly sharp in any facet of the

game.

Leading scorer Jordan Ro-

land labored to get 11 points,

while Hofstra (26-8) dominat-

ed the glass, racking up 13 of-

fensive rebounds and 14 sec-

ond-chance points. The Pride

also outscored the Huskies,

16-1, from the free throw line.

After holding Hofstra to just

29.4 percent from the floor in

the first half, the NU defense

woredownandthePridefired

at a 52.2 percent clip over the

final 20 minutes.

“Playing three games in

three days — it’s tough,” for-

ward Max Boursiquot said. “It’s

called March Madness for a

reason. We just didn’t make

enough plays. So, we fell short.”

NU was hampered by the

limitations of freshman guard

Tyson Walker, who aggravated

his left shoulder injury in the

first half and was not at full

strength during the remainder

of his 18 minutes.

“When he started the sec-

ond half, he just didn’t look

right to me,” Coen said. “I have

to give him a world of credit

just for going out there and try-

ing. I know he wishes he had a

different type of night tonight.”

Boursiquot helped pick up

the slack with Roland and

Walker not producing up to

their norms.

Boursiquot finished with a

team-high 15 points, 9 re-

bounds, and 5 assists, despite

battling the bigger Isaac Kante

on the defensive end of the

floor.

The Huskies got out to a

quick start after giving up the

opening basket of the game,

using an 11-0 burst, keyed by 5

points from Bolden Brace, to

grab an 11-3 advantage.

Northeastern maintained a

comfortable lead for most of

the frame, despite Walker’s ab-

sence.

MIAA DIV. 1 BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEMIFINAL

Lynn English stays on roll

By Nate Weitzer

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT

LynnEnglish 74

Mansfield 58

For one

more

night,

the city of Lynn took owner-

ship of the parquet floor at TD

Garden.

Lynn English (23-2) domi-

nated the painted area on both

ends to run past Mansfield, 74-

58, in the Division 1 boys’ bas-

ketball state semifinal Tuesday

evening, and will head to

Worcester on Saturday to face

Springfield Central (22-1) in

pursuit of back-to-back state ti-

tles.

“These guys are hungry,”

English coach Antonio Ander-

son said. “They want to win

again and we’ve got a chance to

do that Saturday.”

English got the ball inside

early and often, tallying 56

points in the paint.

It wasn’t just twin towers

Mukeba Jean-Baptiste (20

points) and Ademide Badmus

(8 points, 13 rebounds) doing

the damage down low. Senior

guards Jarnel Guzman (19

points, 3 assists, 3 steals) and

Jack Rodriguez (20 points, 7

rebounds, 6 assists) used their

speed and deft ball-handling to

get inside and finish.

“It allows a guy to have a

day off when other guys can

step up and make things hap-

pen,” Anderson said. “That’s

how we operate. At the end of

the day, when you have a group

of guys who believe in one an-

other and know that anyone

can get to the basket, it makes

it a little easier.”

After a back-and-forth first

quarter, the Bulldogs separated

with an 8-2 run to begin the

second quarter and an 8-2 run

to end the half for a 38-26 lead.

Cincere Gill kept Mansfield

(22-4) afloat with 17 points off

the bench, but the Hornets

couldn’t match the Bulldogs’

athleticism and eventually fell

behind, 57-37. All night Guz-

man, Rodriguez, and Mason

Jean-Baptiste frustrated Mans-

field stars Matt Boen (6 points)

and Sam Stevens (11 points) by

denying them the ball.

“I thought their game plan

was excellent,” Mansfield coach

Mike Vaughan said of English.

“A lot of teams might have one

or two defensive specialists,

but they’ve got three... And

when you overcome that, then

you have to shoot over a 6-8

[Mukeba Jean-Baptiste] and

6-6 [Badmus] kid.”

After scoring 9 points in

overtime to outlast Lowell, 73-

63, in the D1 North final Satur-

day, Rodriguez turned in an-

other stellar closing effort with

12 points in the second half.

“We’ve been [to TD Garden]

before and we came here with

a goal, and a purpose, and

that’s to advance to the next

round,” Rodriguez said. “Since

the season ended last year,

we’ve spent almost every day

together. It feels good to see it

really clicking.”

Mansfield’s Jack Colby got whistled for the foul trying to

slow Lynn English’s Ademide Badmus.
