Don't use the globe's records for basketball.   They are missing many games.  For instance, when you posted this, Andover was 4-1, not 2-1.  They missed both the Haverhill and Methuen wins two weeks ago.  Usually if they have the whole schedule they are pretty good about having the results.   That is not the case here.  No future schedules, at least for the teams I have looked at.  They don't seem to get interested in boys basketball until tourney time.  Except for St. John's Prep, who apparantly they are in love with.  Not a single mention of the Greater Lawrence Holiday tournament, in which Andover knocked off Central Catholic in both boys and girls on their way to championships.  You'd think that their number one getting beaten essentially at home would get the globe's attention but as usual that is not the case.

Unless there is another place where I can obtain the records, this is the most updated source I have right now. Even the MIAA site doesn't keep the scores and standings updated on a timely basis.

Does anyone else care much for the high school online sports section of the Boston Herald. One would think we were back in 1998 again with the layout they have. It's quite an eyesore actually.

Catholic Memorial? don't let there record fool you they are a good team and compete with the best of them and considering the beat West Roxbury 82-68 and they are ranked number 19 on this list. I just beleive people are underestimating and they will be in contention at the end of the season.

They had a rough game against Lincoln-Sudbury, which probably hurt their ranking a bit.

Did everyone just like runaway?

Sounds to me like they had every reason to be.
