How the ball bounces

posted in Sports, Youth |

While the Boston Celtics didn’t do well last night in an upsetting 88-83 loss to the Washington Wizards, Lowell High School’s basketball teams have been doing great! During Friday night’s game against Andover, the Lowell girls’ team ruled the court with a 51-42 victory, and Ashley Rivera scored her thousandth career point during the final seconds of the game. Now undefeated, the girls will participate in MVC play ranked as the number one high school girls’ basketball team in the state. During its newscast last Friday night, Fox 25 highlighted the LHS girls basketball team as part of its “High School Fridays” segment. The girls will play Cambridge Rindge and Latin in Lowell on Wednesday at 6 o’clock.

Lowell High School’s boys’ basketball team is also undefeated, following an exciting overtime victory against Andover and a decisive win against Lynn English. With its 9-0 record, the boys are gearing up for a showdown with Central Catholic, also on Wednesday night at 7:30, and the stakes are first place in the MVC and the number one ranking statewide. If you can, come on down and support our great basketball teams and feel the excitement of Lowell High School athletics at its best. (Note: Wednesday at 7 p.m. is also the next school committee meeting at City Hall.)
