CM’s “3 Point Show” Leads to 84-79 Upset Victory Over #3 St John’s Prep.
February 3, 2010
Last night, the boys from Catholic Memorial put on a 3 point clinic in Danvers, as they went on to come from behind and beat the previously undefeated St John’s Prep (15-1). With CM getting thier 6th straight victory, winning 84 to 79, they are now tied with Prep in the Catholic Conference.
Behind the leadership of Senior Dan Brooks (27 points) and Sophomore Dan Powers (18 points), the Knights were able to chip thier way back from deficits that were as many as 18.
The game looked as though it was going to be a blow out by CM, as they took and early lead, but Prep, behind Coach Sean Connolly, took a lead that they held until 3 minutes left in the 4th Quarter.
It was the defensive pressure of CM that allowed them to stay in the game in the 2nd Half, but it was the 3 point exhibition that won it for them. CM scored 14 three point field goals on the game, with 10 coming in the second half. At one point it looked as though anything CM threw up was a 3, and Prep seemed to not be getting the bounces on the rim, that they were getting most of the night.
St John’s will face Xaverian next and CM will tip off against rival Boston College High School here in West Roxbury Friday February 5 at 7pm. Read more

February 2, 2010
BOSTON (Feb. 1) — When the final buzzer sounded at the TD Garden to end the nightcap at the 58th annual Beanpot, there were still 66 minutes before Groundhog Day began.
Unless, of course, you’re with the Northeastern Huskies.
Beanpot king Boston University used an Alex Chiasson goal with 5:47 remaining in regulation to break a 1-1 tie as the Terriers knocked off the Huskies, 2-1, to advance to the Beanpot championship game for the 42nd time in the last 48 years.
The loss for Northeastern continued its Beanpot futility against the Terriers. The Huskies have not won a Beanpot title since 1988, have not beaten BU in the tournament since 1985 and have not won a semifinal gave versus Terriers since 1983. Read more

Senator Walsh Decides to Step Down
January 27, 2010
Below is a letter from Senator Marian Walsh Announcing her decision not to run for re-election.
Dear Friends, Soon the campaign season will be upon us and the voters and candidates alike will be engaged in a very important civic exercise. As your State Senator and friend I wish that it were possible to convey my gratitude to you personally. Since 1989, the shared sacrifices of my supporters, staff, family, friends and husband have made my public service possible and worthwhile. Politics and all the good that it can do has certainly been an important part of my life. From our campaigns, to our neighborhood meetings, to the legislative caucuses, to the floor debates – the positive energy and successful outcomes are too many to list. Entering public life, for me was a profoundly personal decision. I have loved it because I have been in your service. Your hopes and dreams have been my fuel, whether it be a community concern, a civil right, or a matter of economic and social justice. It is time now for me to contribute in other ways – outside of elective office. Next fall, I will not stand for reelection to the Massachusetts State Senate for the Suffolk and Norfolk District. I do intend to be of service in other venues, and I look forward to the next chapter with excitement and gratitude. With the deepest appreciation, I remain at your service.
Very truly, Marian
