Boys Basketball Returns to Div. 3 North Championship

Falcons fans will soon be very familiar with the trip to Tsongas Arena in Lowell.

The Falcons boys basketball team (21-2) is again headed to the Div. 3 North finals there on Saturday - putting the team just one win away from returning to the Eastern Massachusetts championship.

Saturday's game will be the first of two divisional championship games in three days for Danvers High School teams. The boys hockey team will play for the Div. 2 North championship on Monday night at the same place - Tsongas Arena in Lowell.

The Danvers High School boys basketball team defeated Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School 69-51 on Tuesday night in a game played at Triton High School.

The Falcons turned the corner and did not look back by starting the second half with three-pointers from Vinny Clifford, Nick McKenna and Nick Bates, reported the Salem News.

The team will play the winner of Wednesday night's game of No. 1 North Reading High School versus No. 4 Wayland High School.

Whittier, the No. 3 seed, ended the season at 20-3.
