ANSWERS scheduled beyond the 20-game maximum are ruled forfeits, with a score of 10-0 to credit the winning team with the minimum margin of victory required to boost its power rating. That means that a win over Newton North and a loss to topranked BC High at the recent IAABO Board 27/Comcast Classic, were both ruled forfeits by the MIAA. Everett defeated Newton North, 82-68, in the Comcast Classic semifinals Sunday at Woburn High, then lost, 78-64, to top-ranked BC High on Monday. Both games are now ruled as 10-0 losses.

PO Box 490407, Everett, MA 02149 Pairings determined by the new statewide tournament Power Ratings system were expected to be released either late this afternoon or Saturday morning. With the new adjustment, Everett is now rated #14 in Division 1 Boys Power Rankings at 18-4. That means the Crimson Tide would still most likely be able to host a first round home game, but would then be facing off against a higher seed than anticipated, should they prevail with a win in the first round. ******* Malden High girls basketball makes State Tourney with win over Lowell Head coach Scott Marino's Malden High girls’ basketball team qualified for the postseason MIAA Division 1 State Girls Basketball Tournament with a dramatic, 56-54 win over visiting Lowell High on the very last game of the regular season Wednesday afternoon. Senior Nevaeh Cherilus led the way for Malden with 16 points and 12 rebounds, as the Golden Tornado squad evened off its season record at 10-10 with the win. "It was either win (over Lowell) or collect the uniforms," said Coach Marino, who himself played on the 1989 Matignon High School State Championship team. "Our girls put in a solid effort and took the win to keep our season alive." Marino said that while it was great to get into the postseason, "We as a coaching staff are stressing that we are not in the 'we are just happy to be here' mode. If we are in this tournament, our goal is to keep winning." On Wednesday, Malden was about as even as even gets with Lowell most of the way, tied after the first quarter, 14-14, tied at the half, 24-24 and up a point after three quarters, 36-35. Malden played solid defense and turned the ball over just three times in the fourth quarter to put it away. Pairings will be announced either today or Saturday, Coach Marino said. "We know we will be on the road, but we intend on being ready to compete." This is the first time Malden High girls’ basketball had qualified for postseason play since the early 2000s, For Advertising with Results, call The Advocate Newspapers at 617-387-2200 or Info@ advocatenews.net 1.
