Wilbraham and MonsonBefore even coaching his first official game, the Chris Sparks era at Wilbraham and Monson already features two division I players in Kostadin Marshavelski and…

To no one's surprise Burlington High will be the heavy favorite to follow up on their undefeated championship season with another state title in 2008-09.

Last year’s defending champions, the Tilton School, return the dynamic duo of Alex Oriakhi and Jamal Coombs and add their BABC running mate Gerard Coleman.

The basketball program at the Brimmer & May School has been one of the fastest rising programs in the region over the last three years. When Greg Kristof took over the program in 2005, Brimmer had just won the class D title but was returning a relatively young group. By continuing to bring in top level talent, Kristof was able to not only sustain the levels of excellence achieved in year's past, but also improve upon it. Just a year…

There is always a premium on big men in the world of recruiting. But this year it seems to be even more intensified as the demand for quality post players is far exceeding the supply. So when Dartmouth was able to scoop up a commitment from a 6’9” big man who was flying a little bit under the radar, it was a good get for the Big Green. Matt Labove is headed to Dartmouth next year, where he will immediately…
