Roundup: North Andover upsets East Boston

Fourth-ranked Jets grounded on road

Unranked North Andover earned a big home victory, rallying from a 7-point halftime deficit to upset fourth-ranked East Boston, 52-43, last night in boys’ basketball.

“We needed to take care of the ball,’’ said Scarlet Knights coach Mike McVeigh, whose squad is 8-1. “Eastie’s been forcing teams to 30 turnovers and we beat their pressure. It was a big win.’’

East Boston (7-3) led at the half, 27-20, but an early 11-3 run had the Scarlet Knights jogging to their bench with a 39-38 lead to start the fourth. Good transition play and a 3-pointer by 6-foot-6-inch junior Isaiah Nelson helped North Andover finish the game on a 6-0 run.

Notes

The MIAA Board of Directors yesterday voted to allow Chatham and Harwich student-athletes to play as Monomy Regional this fall, one year before the two Cape Cod schools officially merge. Chatham and Harwich will merge starting in 2013-14, but the schools asked the MIAA for permission to play together a year early. Board chairman and Case principal Brian McCann lauded the idea, and then the board unanimously agreed.
