"Marco is a leader, he brings toughness to the court and has the will to win," said Watertown coach Steve Harrington.

Gloucester's Adam Philpott also reached the 1,000-point plateau.

Heading into the Fishermen's gave vs. Danvers, the senior needed 27 points to reach 1,000. He scored 28 in his team's 70-46 victory.
