‘Karaoke for a Cure’ promises fun Our firm has been a trusted source for income MILFORD — The 2012 Relay for Life Committee of Greater Milford (www.relayforlife.org/milfordma) is hosting the second annual Karaoke for a Cure event, at tax preparation and advice for over 25 years Scioli’s Pizza Bar, 146 South Main St., Milford, on Saturday, March 3, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. The 2011 event raised more than $2,000 in the fight against cancer, contributing to the $106,000 total raised in Greater Milford in 2011 for the American Cancer Society.

As Bob sang the song that was chosen for him (“I Feel Pretty”), he was cheered on by an so we can provide the best possible service. enthusiastic audience. His lack of fear encouraged other less talented singers (this author included) to put aside their own stage fright and sing a song for the cause, realizing that their own fears were insignificant compared to the fear felt by someone who is fighting cancer. Cost: Our rates are reasonable. Want to know the This year’s Karaoke for a Cure event promises to be bigger than last year, if the response from last year’s guests is any indication. In addition to Karaoke, there will be a 50/50 raffle cost before you come in? Call us for a quote. and prize raffles and Scioli’s menu of pizza and sandwiches will be available.

BY MICHAEL CORSO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WORCESTER — The Northbridge boys’ basketball team has been used to dealing with adversity. Prior to the regular season the Rams lost star point guard Jake Ryan to a knee injury. After a 3-2 start they promptly won 11 straight games and took the SWCL East division. Northbridge then lost starting shooting guard Alex Cone in the first half of the Clark Tournament Large Schools semifi- nal to an apparent knee injury and rallied around a team effort to advance to their sec- ond consecutive Clark championship game. It appeared like another storybook finish to the season was in the cards for the Rams. Only one more obstacle stood in their way. That obstacle — Quabbin senior point guard Christian Horton — is 5-foot-11 and weighs roughly 150 pounds. Horton led a second half surge for the top seeded Panthers at the Kneller Athletic Center on Feb. 25 en route to a 42-41 victory over No. 2 Northbridge. Horton scored a game- high 14 points, 13 of those coming in the all- important second half. After a poor shooting performance early, Horton poured in timely shot after timely shot, including 5 points in a 40 second span that erased a 35-35 tie. “It’s heartbreaking,” said Northbridge jun- ior forward Matt Phelan. “Without Alex [Cone] tonight it was a challenge. It put us in a Matt Phelan of Northbridge pushes the ball down the court on a fast break. couple of spots we’re not used to. It just shows how tough we are as a group.
