Central/Salem in TRIPLE OT.

Gallant and Mansfield are my two favorite non Nashua players

The shoe still fits - Alvirne wins 56-54

Central up 54-52 with 1:23 to play

BG won too bad

Central wins 57-55....

BG vs. Central 7:30pm
Alvrine vs. Trinity 6pm

What a night...whoa.

Free Throws Free Throws Free Throws were the name of the name for Alvirne Memorial tonight. Alvirne made them when they counted and Memorial didnt make them. I cant imagine what Memorials % was because it was bad. They missed almost half if not more of thier foul shots. Morgan was great for Memorial and so was Madol. But they really shut down Madol in the 2nd half. One thing that hurt Alvirne was rebounds. They got killed on the boards. Memorial had a lot of second chances but they didnt finish and Alvirne came with the hard fough win. Donnelly was his normal self. Livingston the Sophomore was great on the boards. And for the 2nd straight game Beaulieu came up huge making plays to the basket and knocking down his free throws at the end. What a night. Not only at the Memorial game but all the other games. March Madness at its finest!!!!

Also Donnelly scored 27 tonight and eclisped 1,000 points Congrats to him.

The Asst said this was an epic night of playoff basketball. It was. I said before this playoff season started it would be an epic playoff season in a biblical way.

I had the privilege of witnessing one of the greatest high school basketball games you would ever want to see with the Central 57 to 55 Triple OT victory over Salem. There is basketball and there is religious. When the 2 combine in one evening then you have yourself an epic evening. This is what took place at the Simon Gym from 7:00 to 9:00 this evening.

Both teams very much had the will to win. Both teams did not want their season to end tonight. I want to thank both teams and their coaching staffs for putting a remarkable effort on display for the fortunate fans who witnessed these beautiful pieces of basketball time that will be savored long after the ball bags are put in the closet.

hard to believe the bg game was the 4th most exciting game of the night,cuz i thought iw as gonna have a heart attack. wow. we played an away game at home.they invaded the lund rd gym. red everywhere,it was nuts,nobody was left in rochester.body painted kids,i'm telling you never seenanything like this.they made the merrimack fans look like nothing{and i love the mtown fans}. anyone that reads my stuff knows how much i saaid not having green and MCCARTHY HURT US LAST TIME.JOE MAC WAS IMMENSE TONITE.
LONG story short up by 2 their ball 12 seconds left,this kid fires 1 up from the corner it looks good. i must have said "oh crap " 10 times while the ball was in the air,i thought it was good,bounced off rim,cronin puts up a shot,looks good rolls out ,remi rebounds 1 second left.
parents celebrate the game pretty darn good.cuips had a great game,kelly rocked.

big floor here we come we did a conga line at the jade,what a nite.

Any GNG Lechter-isms towards the Red Raiders to get in their heads before the game?

THE SPAULDING FANS,AND PARENTS WERE.uNBELIEVABLE.THEY CHEERED LOUD AND HARD,but with no malious.i am so glad i liked them all year unlike my friednd t@f.
HOW MANY TEAMS ARE RETURNING TO DURHAM FOR THE 2ND YEAR IN A ROW.that would be 1.they are hungry,hungry hippos.

Oh yea, you wanted the Red Raider Revenge game and you got it. Be careful what you wish for next time, GNG.

it was EPIC. THOSE KIDS FROM ROCHESTER LEFT IT ALL OUT THERE.

One has to wonder if tomorrow night will be as epic? Some very good teams with Oyster River and Pelham,Portsmouth and Hanover,Milford and Bedford and Souhegan and Pembroke....

I cannot wait to hear how epic the night will be.

my next door neighbor who is now a central asst coached alot of these bg kids as freshman,he told me he was going to toilet paper my house. I told him i would burn his house. "they send one of yours to the hospital,you send one of their's to the morgue". what anite can't believe i am on the keyboard.

joe mccarthy,3 threes,the man. sports forum readers knew about him compliments of me. kid has ice water running thru his veins.

I said from the Get Go this playoff season was going to be epic. It was unbelievable being at the Central - Salem game going into the OTs and then receiving all the updates from the other gyms and finding out every other game was down to the wire or in OT.

EPIC

This was arguably the greatest night of high school basketball ever in the city of Manchester. All the games lived up to the hype and then some. I know some people prefer the old quadruple Quarterfinal day, but the games and excitement that happened tonight at the home courts would never be replicated at UNH.

EPIC

Excuse me, ChiKid, I believe this is a D1 thread. The D2 thread is on the other end of the court

Nice article about BG and Spaulding up. Check the link!
