The Cohasset Skippers (9-0,7-0) are in the midst of one of their best seasons. According to third year coach Bo Ruggiero, the Skippers' 74-62 victory over South Shore rival Abington Friday night was the first since 1997. The Abington Green Wave had the Skippers' number on speed dial for the previous 26 consecutive games.

Ruggiero dubbed it a " historic victory" not just for his team but the school as a whole.
Senior guard Robert Jones spearheaded the charge with a game-high 30 points, including a crucial 11-12 clutch performance from the free throw line in the fourth quarter. Shane Haggerty and Sam Robinson combined 28 points in the win.
