Managing the operations of a town that was already under intense financial pressure well before the current national economic turmoil took hold last fall would appear to be a difficult enough test on its own. But doing so in a community that has failed to renew the contracts of its first two town managers and which has offered only a one-year deal to its latest would seem an employment situation that is extraordinarily tenuous. Szlosek, however, seems the least bit intimidated by the scenario. The low-key, 46-year-old Ludlow native took over as town manager two weeks ago, succeeding Jill Myers, who was let go by the Board of Selectmen when her three-year con- Thomas Mattson photo tract expired Feb. 20.

SECOND-SEEDED NORTHBRIDGE TOPS NASHOBA, WORCESTER TECH

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER NORTHBRIDGE — After losing in the opening round of the Clark Tournament, the Northbridge bas- ketball team knew that district play would be the last opportunity to compete this season. Fully aware of the consequences, the Rams made sure they wouldn’t have a setback in their Central Massachusetts Division 2 opening round game against Nashoba Feb. 24. Northbridge cruised to a 26-4 lead after one quarter and sailed to a 60-39 victory over the Chieftains. “First quarter we got out of the gates really well,” Northbridge coach Paul Baker said. “I knew they were really eager to get going.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER FITCHBURG — Losing one or two starters by way of fouling out is always tough to over- come. But the Northbridge girls’ basketball team had four starters foul out in the fourth quarter, as St. Bernard’s defeated the Rams on Feb. 26, 66-52. The Central Massachusetts Division 2 quarterfinal, held at the St. Bernard’s Activity Center, put No. 4 St. Bernard’s into the semifinals, where they took on top- ranked Millbury. Fifth-seeded Northbridge opened the game with six straight points. But the Bernardians closed the gap quickly, and took their first lead (11-10) after a Madison Marek bucket. The teams had nothing settled after the opening quarter, as the scoreboard read 13- 13. The Rams then began sinking 3-pointers early in the second, which gave them a 22-15 lead with five minutes to go until halftime. But the 3-point vibe was contagious, as Nick Ethier photos Meaghan Secino hit two treys of her own, which put St. Bernard’s up 23-22. Ryan Baker (10) reaches in and tries to steal the ball from a St. Bernard’s player. Then, with less than 90 seconds to go in the quarter, Secino stole the ball (her fourth of said Northbridge coach Al Ratcliffe. “I think the third quarter, and the game), hit a layup, and was fouled.

O’Keefe also scored 26 points in the quarterfinal round last year against Bromfield. O’Keefe provided all of the Cougars’ offense in the first eight minutes, which saw Quaboag and Whitinsville Christian trade turnovers and the lead. “She just carried us on her back in the first half,” said Cougars coach John Vayda. The Crusaders had an early 3-0 edge, but Quaboag took back the lead with five unanswered points.

O’KEEFE NETS 19 IN RETURN FROM ANKLE INJURY

BY DAVID DORE STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER WARREN — Coming into their contest Thursday, Feb. 26 against Quaboag, the Bartlett girls’ basketball team had, as coach Chris Del Vecchio put it, nothing to lose. The 16th-seeded Indians, three days removed from their win against Hudson Catholic in a play-in game, faced the No. 1 seed in the first round of the Central Massachusetts Division 3 Tournament — a Quaboag team that did not lose a game all year. “We wanted to come in relaxed and confi- dent that if we played our game and took con- trol of what we could control, that who knows what would happen,” Del Vecchio said. While the Lady Indians held their own in the first quarter, down by nine (17-8), Quaboag ultimately notched their 21st victory of the year, 61-27. The first eight minutes were a showcase for Bartlett sophomore Bryana Poulin and Quaboag junior Meghan O’Keefe.

Three Sedans and a Commercial Truck Blow into Town at the Chicago Auto Show

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Three new sedans and a commer- cial truck, of all things, caught my eye when I was in attendance.
