The MIAA Basketball season has officially come to a close as the state finals in Springfield this past Saturday put a cap on another exhilarating season of high school hoops.

Mansfield claimed its first state championship in program history with a 67-54 win over Franklin in the Division 1 State Final, while TechBoston finished off a nearly flawless run in dominating fashion. Watertown completed its late postseason surge with a victory over Easthampton to claim the Division 3 title, and Angel Price-Espada put on a performance for the ages to guide Pope John to the Division 4 championship.

SuiteSports’ will have its full season All-State team out on Thursday, but for now here is our MIAA Boys' Basketball All-Tournament Team and Most Valuable Player.

O'Bryant Runs Away from TechBoston Academy Late

By Matt Feld (@mattyfeld612)

ROXBURY, Mass. - In the early going, O’Bryant has made it known that it is a force to be reckoned with in the Boston City League.

After a close loss to No. 8 Brighton earlier in the season, and convincing wins over Boston Latin Academy and Snowden, the Tigers kept their high level of playing going on Wednesday, using a dominant fourth quarter to knock off TechBoston Academy, 67-55, at John D. O’Bryant High School.

TechBoston (4-2) held a 46-45 lead heading into the fourth quarter, but O’Bryant (5-2) opened up the final frame with an 8-0 run to take a 53-46 lead – an advantage they never relinquished.
