A-B advanced to last Friday's GBL Tournament finals (after press time) with a chance to move on to the District 9 finals. "We've done a great job to get this far, and that game wall closer than it looks," A-B coach Gordy Joyce said. "We feel good about our chance to get past the next round. It's been quite a year." Joyce and his staff were hopeful that A-B (20- 4- I, 16-2- I GBL) could finally solve No. 2 seed Belmont in last week's finals, even though the team posted and 0-1-1 mark against Belmont this winter. A-B entered the title game with a 9- 2 record in its last 11 games. In the semifinals, defenseman Greg O'B1ien scored a hat trick and linemate Joey Joyce added a pair of goals to dispatch with pesky Dedham. A-B led 2-0 entering the second peri od, but couldn't press the advantage as Dedham kept it a two-goal game going into the third. "They played good defense and they were trying everything they could to get back in the game," coach Joyce said. "They threw every thing at us, and I think that wore them out." Even though A-B dressed only nine players for the game, it was the locals who sported the fresher legs in the final period against a Dedham roster that boasted 14 players.

Suddenly middle America knew what members of those communities have known for a long time. People are beaten, and sometimes killed, because of their sexu.ality. The Fenway Community Health Center compiles the statistics of crimes that are hate motivated in Massachusetts annually. Two statistics in this year's report are startling. The first is the 13 percent increase in violent attacks in the commonwealth. While the Fenway is attributing two murders in part to some hate or bias motivation - including the murder of Allston's Rita Hester - not enough evidence has been found to allow police to do the same. But the number of reports of attacks in which people . "have been kicked to the ground, beaten in the head with steel poles, slashed with bottles" is rising. That even one of these attacks can still happen today is shameful. The numbers are rising in part because of the cooperation of the Boston Police Department and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. That relationship has improved con siderably since less than a decade ago when activists were pick eting Area A-1 and accusing officers of gay-bashing. People are much more comfortable reporting hate crimes to the police today. Victims of attacks, no matter how minor, must continue to SPEAK-OUT! report them to police and to the Fenway.
