23 years on this great earth. 10 Super Bowls. I always love you Tom.

Thoughts on @AC_Athletics:

- I genuinely think this team can contend for a title down the road if everyone stays.

- Eighth-grader Jackson Hines is fearless out there. He's already very good and has an extremely high ceiling.

- 6'6 freshman Alden Poage from Arlington is an intriguing player. A force inside and a solid shooter.

- Sean Connelly has kind of an old school game and beats you with footwork and angles.

- Michael Watkins has a great handle and is the glue along with Roman Sarmiento and Felix Bui @Coach_Sarmiento

Final: Arlington Catholic 64, Duxbury 60

Eighth-grader Jackson Hines with 25 and Sean Connelly 17 for the Cougars. Joe Baraky 28 and Gavin Hammond 9 for the Dragons.

No. 34 Cougars outlast the No. 31 Dragons in a captivating battle. Terrific season for Duxbury @GlobeSchools

[Trevor Hass @TrevorHass]

Sick pass from Roman Sarmiento to Jackson Hines for two more. 59-50 Cougars with 2:28 remaining @GlobeSchools @AC_Athletics

[Trevor Hass @TrevorHass]

Jackson Hines is up to 15, and Arlington Catholic leads Duxbury, 40-35, with 2:39 left in the third @GlobeSchools @AC_Athletics

[Rob Sarmiento @Coach_Sarmiento]

Great resilience by the guys last night. Hard fought battle with @coachjet25 who always has players well prepared and playing hard. Good luck to Revere the rest of the way #Insieme

I can’t get over this pass. Degree of difficulty, accuracy, and just the (bleep) to make this play at this point in the game. That was some superstar stuff.

[Zack Connell @ZackConnell2]

Another year in the books at @AC_Athletics. These kids deserve a lot of credit for sticking together and overcoming adversity throughout the year. @Coach_Sarmiento is building a great program and I’m proud to be a part of it. Thank you for another great season.

[Rob Sarmiento @Coach_Sarmiento]

Thank you to the Svendsen family for hosting the team tonight for team bowling at King’s in Burlington. Unfortunately we had some guys out sick and our swing players had a JV game, but a great time stepping away from the court before the last two games of the regular season.

[Rob Sarmiento @Coach_Sarmiento]

Great team win tonight versus Cardinal Spellman. We honored Senior Captain Ryan Svendsen before the game for getting his 1,000th point last Friday versus Bishop Stang. Congrats Ryan!

[Zack Connell @ZackConnell2]

35 OT?! Damn boys, opening night Tuesday.. rest up @celtics

[Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop]

Ime Udoka may have saved the Celtics with a key question during a timeout after his team had committed some bad turnovers. According to a source, Udoka stepped into the huddle and said, "Will you guys stop playing like assholes?"

Aaaaaand we have our coaching moment of the year.

[Zack Connell @ZackConnell2]

Game 7 victory for the Celtics, followed up by a 5-0 weekend for @MassEliteHoop 6th grade boys! Proud of these kids. They have worked hard all year long and have made no excuses along the way. How about that for a Sunday!

[Zack Connell @ZackConnell2]

This is very emotional. I had the pleasure of coaching Sandrick back in 2021 and he was nothing but a hard worker. I’m praying for you and for a speedy recovery. 🙏🏻

An Everett teenager shot during a drive by shooting in Canada will soon be back home in Massachusetts. But before he left, he reunited with some of the first responders who helped save his life. @NBC10Boston at 4&6.

Three years after Kyrie Irving ditched the “young guys” to partner with Kevin Durant in Brooklyn, Celtics sweep the Nets out of the first round of the playoffs.
