Five Things You Need to Know Today: Feb. 22

Happy 280th birthday, George Washington, and hello Westford! Here are the Five Things you need to know for today, Wednesday, Feb. 23.

#1. This Sunday: The voice of Fenway Park will be on hand in Chelmsford this weekend for a fundraiser to benefit Carter Clements (pictured), the young man injured in a horrific car crash on Tadmuck Road earlier this year.

Tickets are $20, and donations are being accepted online for those who can't make it.

#2. Congratulations... go out to Westford Academy golf star Lance Luther, who recently recieved honors for artwork from the Boston Globe All Scholastic Art Show.

#3. More Congratulations... go out to Liane Pancoast. According to Foster's Daily Democrat, her time of 1:38:27 was enough to finish first in her age group at the Seacoast Half Marathon in Portsmouth, New Hampshire last weekend.

#4. Ever Want to Learn Henna?: Classes on the art form are $63 ($60 for residents) at the Roudenbush Community Center. Classes start on March 1.

More details are available at 978-692-5511 and on the Roudenbush website.

#5. Grey Ghost Basketball Recap from Coach Scollan:

Westford Academy defeated Lynn English, 85-68, in the consolation game of the IAABO Board #130 Tournament.

Senior Alex Preckol was named to the All-Tournament Team, a great effort tonight with 22 points. Matt Ellis hits with 21, and Ryan Jann has 11. Mike Bibinski and Justin Mount also played well for the Ghosts.

The Ghosts finish 17-4 and wait for the North Division I pairings to be announced Friday morning.

"We started slow, down by one after the first, but then went on a 31-15 run in the 2nd to break it open," said Scollan. "Alex had a solid game and Matt and Ryan did a nice job. I was concerned how we would play after the let down against the Prep the night before, but this team did what it always does, responds well!"

CORRECTION: The fundraiser is for Carter Clements, not Cameron Carter.
