Update: 7:59 p.m.:

Shabazz Napier made his return home count.

The Lawrence Academy junior point guard played up to the packed house at the Reggie Lewis Center, which featured many of his former Charlestown High teammates, by swinging momentum at the start of the fourth quarter in the final game of the Black History Month Classic. He nailed back to back three-pointers - his sixth and seventh of the evening - to make it a 67-53 lead, and the Spartans went on to beat East Boston, 78-66.

"It's an honor to come back to the city again," said Napier, who ended up with 30 points. "You want to put on a show for the spectators, let them know you still got it. It's an honor to see everybody come out here."

Eastie's rivals Madison Park avoided an upset in the first game of the afternoon, storming back with a 15-2 run to start the fourth quarter, and beat Rivers, 61-55. Boston Trinity then beat Lawrence High, 74-64 behind a strong showing from sophomore Roddell Wigginton (26 points, nine rebounds). Trinity is now 8-0 under interim head coach Jose Morton. In the third game, and the lone girls' matchup, La Salle Academy (R.I.) held off a late New Mission rally to win, 58-52.

Good afternoon from the Reggie Lewis Center, here in Roxbury, where the third annual Black History Month Classic is under way. We've just concluded the fourth and final matchup of the day, with Lawrence Academy defeating East Boston, 78-66. The Jets pulled to within eight to close out the third quarter trailing 61-53, but LA's Shabazz Napier opened up the fourth with back to back three-pointers (his sixth and seventh for the game) to swing the momentum.

Third Quarter: LA, 61-53

LA's Shabazz Napier is putting on a show so far, with 22 points -- including five 3-pointers.

Half: LA, 44-32

LA's Sarkie Ampim is using his length to his advantage around the rim, leading all scorers at the break with 12 points. Senior guard Marcus Grant also has 10 points for the Spartans, with three assists and three steals. Jeff Amazon is leading Eastie, who took a brief lead in the opening minutes, with nine points.

In the preceding matchup, and only girls' game of the event, La Salle Academy (R.I.) fought off a late rally to beat New Mission, 58-52. The Rams were led by 6-foot-3 sophomore Liann Raup (17 points), while New Mission's Chreese Hall poured in 21 in the loss.

Boston Trinity downed Lawrence High, 74-64, in the second game of the day. Trinity was led by a highlight reel-worthy performance from 6 foot 4 sophomore Roddell Wigginton (26 points). The Nova Scotia native backed up the growing Division 1 interest with an above the rim style of play, dazzling the crowd with a series of tip-slams, two-handed dunks in transition and blocks.

This also marks the eighth straight win for Trinity since interim head coach Jose Morton took over late last month. Rick Linet left the program for undisclosed reasons.

The day started with an impressive come-from-behind victory by Madison Park over the Rivers Red Wings. The Cardinals trailed 48-41 after three quarters, but shot out of the gates to start the fourth with a 15-2 run.

Steady play from seniors David Campbell (14 points) and Spencer Braithwaite (14) paced the Cardinals in the comeback.

"But you can’t do that," Cardinals head coach Dennis Wilson said. "A couple of balls bounce the other way, bounce the right way for them (Rivers) and it's an upset. But they (Rivers) played their butts off, I’ve got nothing but respect for those kids."

For the Red Wings, this was a bit of a homecoming. Freshman Carlin Hayman (17 points) lives just up the street from the Reggie, in Mission Hill. Cousins Taariq Allen (16) and Ben Patrick (14) played for Wilson’s Boston Raiders in Pop Warner. Patrick, a junior, is also a resident of Roxbury, roughly four miles from here.
