BY GREG SEBASTIAO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT NORTHBRIDGE — The Northbridge girls’ basketball team defeated Oxford 52-29 on Feb. 16, stifling the Pirates’ Central Mass. Division 2 dis- trict tournament berth for a few more days. Oxford needs one more win to reach the post- season, and it will all come down to a match-up with Blackstone-Millville in the Blackstone Valley Showcase on Feb. 20. If the Pirates win, they’re in. If they lose, their season will come to an end at 9-11. Getting that last win may prove difficult for the Pirates, though, as they are now without top scorer, rebounder, and senior leader Johanna Burke. “We need one more win and we kind of knew that this [Northbridge] wasn’t the one to do it,” coach Janet Hourihan-Brooks said. “They’re a tough defensive team and they’re very well coached, so we knew they were a really tough Greg Sebastiao photos match.

BY GREG SEBASTIAO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WORCESTER — It’s been four years since the Northbridge boys’ basketball team has made it to the second round of the Clark Tournament, but that all changed Monday afternoon, Feb. 21, when they defeated Shepherd Hill 63-43 in a Large School quarterfinal game at the Kneller Athletic Center. “Yeah, it’s the first time we finally broke through,” said Northbridge coach Paul Baker.“It’s a good feeling to finally get the monkey off our back a little bit.” The third-seeded Northbridge Rams (15-5) will move on to the next round where they will take on sec- ond-seeded Clinton, who defeated the Nipmuc Warriors, 71-61. Northbridge senior captain Corey Pryor finished with a game-high 20 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds, while junior big man Harrison Murphy scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the double- double. Jake Ryan also played a big part for the Rams, as he shot 4-6 from downtown, finishing with 14 points. Though Shepherd Hill (13-7) spread out the scoring, junior Matt Rayla was the only Ram in double figures with 11 points. Junior Kyle McKissick put forth a solid game in Ryan Capistran of Northbridge, with ball, fights his way through Shepherd Hill the losing effort by pulling down 12 defense. rebounds and chipping in with 9 points.

Littleton, who is now 15-5 and has never won a Clark Tournament championship, received all of their points from underclassmen, includ- ing the first 25 points from the Murray and Sullivan duo. After eight lead changes early in the first half, Littleton went on a 12- 1 run late in the first half and never looked back from there. Littleton Coach Michael Lombardi was pleased with the effort his underclassmen brought saying, “We have some really skilled young players and I told them that they can’t mess up because they are too young to mess up in this stage. They played a great game tonight.” On the other side, Douglas Coach Bobby Saster was impressed with Scott Gordon photos the play of both teams saying, “As Nathan Pajka of Douglas prepares to make a spin move on Littleton defender Chris poorly as our team shot, we had a Murray, left. chance at the end of the game.

Grand Cherokee Overwhelmingly Selected Official Winter Vehicle of New England

BY KEITH GRIFFIN This has been the winter to try men's souls to badly paraphrase a historical saying. It's been so tough that even the annual winter awards judging event for the New England Motor Press Association had to be cancelled due to, well, winter. You know it's a bad winter when a hardy group of automotive journal- ists gets cowed by the weather, espe- cially when we're driving the very vehicles designed to laugh in the face of all that winter can throw our way here in New England. Fortunately it didn't stop us for long and we were able to gather for judg- ing on a recent Saturday in Middleborough, Mass., a town prob- ably best known for once being the home of General Tom Thumb. Fittingly, some will accuse auto- motive journalists of being mental midgets, but in this case our collec- tive brains made the right choice in the selection of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee as the Official Winter Vehicle of New England.
