Okay, let's get a little perspective here.... The last time the MHS Boys' Basketball Team was the Hockomock League Champs, Ike was finishing his last of eight years in the White House, gas sold for 25 cents a gallon, and the enrollment at MHS was 457 students! That date was March 3, 1960, and MHS beat Randolph High in a one-game playoff to determine the league champion. (Thank you, Mark Farinella, for the history lesson!) So needless to say, last Friday night's accomplishment by this year's Hornets was a big deal!! It was done in fine fashion, a 63-46 dismantling of rival North Attleboro. The 18-2 Hornets now head to the MIAA Divsion I South Tournament as the #3 seed, as they will host the winner of a preliminary round game between No. 14 Brookline (12-8) and No. 19 Natick (10-10). That game will be this coming Wednesday night, 2/24 at 7:00 pm in the Albertini Gym.
Congratulations to Head Coach Mike Vaughan, the entire coaching staff and this fine group of young men! Good luck in the tournament!
