After another night of March Madness, we’re halfway between the Sweet-16 and Elite-8. 12-teams remain alive in the tournament, but that number will be chopped down by four after tonight’s matchups.

Meanwhile, our SunBlog Madness contest has a new leader. Ken Scarber of North Chelmsford makes his first appearance on the board, checking in at the top spot with 65-points. However, a couple of names familiar to us by now stand just one point behind. Paul Todis of Tyngsboro and Pepperell’s Tim Smulligan are tied for 2nd place. Just 2-points back in 4th is Raymond Stecchi of West Townsend, with Tewksbury’s Joan Petros and Groton’s Anthony Caron in a tie for the 5th spot at 62-points.

As you can see, the competition is hot and heavy, and the changes are coming fast and furious. Let’s see who tops the leader board at closing time tonight!
