School roundup
For the third year in a row, Lowell and Andover will face off in the Division 1 North girls' basketball semifinals.
Both teams won their first-round sectional games last night. Andover trumped Malden, 71-37, and Lowell defeated Methuen, 61-45.
Andover is on the tail end of a stellar 20-3 season in which it handed the Red Raiders their only two losses, 59-45 and 35-33.
But the Golden Warriors have a tough semifinal history against Lowell (19-2). They lost the last two sectional semifinals to the Red Raiders.
"That's the way the coin flip goes," Andover coach James Tildsley said of the seedings and upcoming rematch.
Lowell coach Mike Crowley echoed those sentiments.
"I feel like they're an awesome program and we're also very good, and whoever plays well that night will advance to the Tsongas Arena," he said.
