SOUTHBRIDGE — As the Trinity Basketball Association (TBA) high school girls’ playoffs comes to a close, two upsets propelled fourth ranked teams into their respective championship games. In games played Aug. 8 at Trinity Catholic Academy, fourth seeded David Prouty beat No. 1 Notre Dame Academy in the earlier West Division game, 32- 22. Then, in the East Division semifinal, No. 4 Tantasqua topped top ranked Quaboag, 29-25. For David Prouty, a hot start shooting — and coinciding best first half of the entire season — led to a 23-11 lead at the break. They then held on for a 10-point victory and will face No. 3 North Brookfield in the West Division final on Aug. 15 at 6 p.m. For Tantasqua, a 10-0 surge to open the contest was enough as they led from start to finish. Quaboag’s Jessica Korzec and Brittany Herring combined for 12 first half points to close the gap, though, making it 17-15 at the inter- mission. Tantasqua then led, 27-25, with 17.1 seconds to play before Liz Beaudry stepped to the free throw line and calm- ly knocked down a pair of shots during a one-and-one situation to account for the 29-25 final. Beaudry and Gabby Roberts each netted 6 points for Tantasqua, while Korzec and Herring each chipped in with 9 points apiece for Quaboag. The East Division final (No. 2 Sutton vs. No. 4 Tantasqua) will be played Aug. 15 after the West Division championship game, around 7 p.m.

Nick Ethier photos On Thursday, Aug. 8 the Trinity Basketball Association held its postseason semifi- nals. In the West Division, fourth seeded David Prouty topped top ranked Notre Dame Academy, 32-22. Then, in the East Division nightcap, fourth seeded Tantasqua also upset a top ranked team — this time Quaboag — by a 29-25 count.

Kenneth Blake. Samuel Sawyer. WEST BROOKFIELD — Fifteen World War II veterans got a big “thank you” from the West Brookfield American Legion post this past weekend. Members of Adams-Coney-Frew American Legion Post 244 hosted their first Veterans’ Appreciation Luncheon Saturday, Aug. 10. They prepared the food, and after lunch gave the World War II veterans certificates of appreciation for their sacrifice. Organizing Committee Chairman Shaun Day said the lunch was a way “to show appreciation for what they’ve done for their country.I think we should have started doing this years ago, when there were more vets around.” The plan, Day said, is to make it an annual event and recognize veterans from conflicts following World War II, such as the Korean War next year. Honored on Saturday were Norman K. Adams (U.S. Navy), Everett S. Allen (U.S. Army Air Force), Norman Adams is welcomed to the Veterans’ Appreciation Luncheon after being intro- Kenneth D.

She’s disappointed the “Korean limo” as she has dubbed it no longer features a cooler, massage and foot rest in the rear seats where she rides. Those were all available in the Ultimate package when the Equus was first introduced to the United States in the 2011 model year but Hyundai has deleted those options. Why? The U.S. is a market that focuses on driving and not being driven. In other words, nobody was probably buying those options, so why bother. Aside from my daughter’s disappoint- ment, there is little not to like about the redesigned 2014 Hyundai Equus. In a drive around New York City and then for a few days after at my home in Connecticut, it proved itself a delightful vehicle for handling both urban and suburban life with aplomb. The new Equus features a lot of Hyundai firsts. • Blind Spot with Rear Cross-traffic Alert • Multi-view camera system • Smart cruise control - stop/start • Power door closure • 12.3-inch full digital IP display • Dual rear seat 9.2” monitors Photos © Hyundai • LED fog lights The 2014 Hyundai Equus gets refreshed styling cues front and rear that give it a much more luxurious look. • 9.2-inch LCD Screen • 7-inch Color LCD IP display the Hyundai lineup because manufacturers will bring you back up to speed as long as the multi-view camera system that delivers • Steering wheel haptic dial control practice the trickle-down theory when it you’re not stopped for more than three sec- an overhead view of your car. It makes park- • Proximity key - card type comes to technology. onds. ing simpler as well as backing out through • Power lumbar at the rear outboard seats The best three features are the blind spot The blind spot monitor with rear cross narrow driveways like mine that have a (it’s not massage but it’s a nice compromise) monitor with rear cross traffic alert; the traffic alert is a must-have for anybody who brick wall on one side. Granted, all are available on other luxury multi-view camera system, and the smart frequents parking garages, suburban malls, The 2014 Equus is powered by Hyundai’s cars (and some non-luxury models as well) cruise control with stop/start. The latter is crowded parking lots, etc. In other words, it’s but it bodes well for the less-expensive cars in going to work well in stop-and-go traffic and something every car should have.
