SPORTS B TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2018 Spartans clinch tournament berth with win over CCL foe Williams By Harold Rivera ITEM STAFF LYNN — Monday night’s game against Archbishop Williams presented the St. Mary’s boys basketball team with an opportunity the Spartans didn’t want to sleep on. With a victory over the struggling Bish- ops, the Spartans would become one of the earliest local teams to cement their bid in the state tourna- ment. St. Mary’s didn’t let the opportunity linger any lon- ger, taking down Catholic Central League foe Wil- liams, 74-38, at Congiliaro Gymnasium for its 10th victory of the season. “It’s always nice to get into the state tournament as soon as possible,” St. Mary’s coach Dave Brown said. “We knew we were the better team tonight.
