As he transitions into his new role, we want to take a moment to thank Coach Christie for his dedication & service. Under his leadership, Salem High Sports experienced tremendous growth & success.

We are so grateful for his time in Salem and wish him all the best in his future!

Coach Morales and recent grad Jimmy Farrell enjoyed one final game together as player and coach in tonight’s annual Agganis All-Star game at Lynn Classical. They represented the North Team, which took home the victory 86-59.

Jimmy earned the MVP award for the North and got to play with fellow NEC player and great friend, the Champ, Nate Lane of Salem!

The Northeastern Conference has unveiled its All-Star Boys Basketball Teams and award recipients for the 2025-26 season.

Salem (@WitchesSports) receives plenty of (deserved) recognition. Elian Rodriguez is named Player of the Year, while Tom Doyle is named Coach of the Year.

[Dylan Payne @DPayne2882]

@BConn63 It was the toughest path because they were a 14 seed who lost 7 times.  
From your top 15, they have wins over #2 and 8. While Salem has wins over #4, 5, 6 and 14.

[Dylan Payne @DPayne2882]

@BConn63 @Feehan_BBball 3 and 4 should be flipped with 1 and 2

So cool to see Salem High boys basketball win another state title. Had the honor of covering the 1990 and ‘95 Salem championship teams for the Salem News. This group now joins the Mt. Rushmore of great Salem hoop teams for sure
