It's Cities time,can you feel it?! Tomorrow afternoon the Boston Public Schools High School Basketball Tournament will get underway with the girls semi-finals. Madison Park High will once again be the venue. The first semi will a rematch of last year's semi with Fenway High facing New Mission at 4pm. sharp. In the 2nd game O'Bryant High faces their next door neighbors from Madison Park. Tip-off for that contest is scheduled for 5:30.
These games are always exciting and although all teams involved will advance to the MIAA State Tournament,there are plenty of bragging rights at stake. Many of the players know each other from summer & AAU leagues,the neighborhoods and mutual friends they share,etc. And in the case of O'Bryant/Madison, no schools are physically located closer.
I hope everyone who has time can come out and support these female student-athletes. But I must warn you,things can get pretty emotional at the final buzzer as someone's got to lose.
Take care and have a great day!
