It’s almost playoff time in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and as the tournaments in each respective sport begin to unfold, the Merrimack Valley is primed to crown a few state champs.
Besides the obvious contenders like Central Catholic’s boys basketball team and the perennial powerhouse of Lowell wrestling, there are contenders from the Valley in every sport. Any one of the trio of outstanding hoops squads from Central, Andover or Lowell is capable of running the table on the girls’ side. Westford’s boys can’t be discounted in Division 2. Several track stars are in line for individual gold, not to mention schools that could contend. There are also a handful of hockey teams with title aspirations, and I’m sure I’ve missed one or two along the line.
So the question is this: which team is likely to win a sectional crown, or even a state championship? Will you be attending any tournament games? Which sports do you follow more closely?
