BOSTON -  There is always something special about watching a Boston City League boys’ basketball game, and at Latin Academy in the Division 2 South quarterfinals, this proved to be true once again.

On a Friday night where a second quarter surge from fifth-seeded O’Bryant (17-6) certainly helped them to their 88-76 victory over fourth-seed TechBoston, it was the play of Eighth-grade point guard Dasonte Bowen that won the game.

In the nightcap of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational at Northeastern University, the Tigers blitzkrieged three time defending Division 1 South Sectional Champion Catholic Memorial, jumping out to a 18-8 first quarter lead before ultimately cruising to an 81-62 victory.

BOSTON, Mass. – There are no easy games in the Boston City League, but some wins require an incredible amount of effort on both ends of the floor.

Brighton (2-0) got out to an early lead at conference rival O’Bryant (2-1) and looked to be in control throughout the first half. Yet the Tigers gave the Bengals everything they could handle in a thrilling back-and-forth affair, before Brighton actually came back late to pull out a 98-95 victory on the road.
