At halftime Reading leads North Andover, 23-11, in the Division 2 North girls basketball final. Junior forward Sarah Haase leads the Rockets with 10 points and four rebounds, while Olivia Healy has six points and five rebounds. Reading is doing a nice job on defense guarding against Morgan Lumb, who has attempted just four shots and has four points. North Andover shooting a paltry 5 for 24 from the field, while Reading shooting slightly better at 9 for 24. North Andover holds a 14-13 advantage on the boards.

Correction: Haase with 10 points for Reading, not 11.

I'm at UMass-Boston for the D3 South sectional final between Wareham and Martha's Vineyard. Wareham leads 8-7 halfway through the first.

At the end of 1 it's the Martha's Vineyard boys 19, Wareham 16. Darien Fernandez with 7 points and 2 fouls. He vocally disagreed with both.

Darien Fernandez (Wareham) and Deshawn James (MV) exchange words during a stoppage of play. Conversation ends with a couple pats on the back

If Wareham comes back, look for senior guard Sam Brogioli to be key. He's benn on fire from beyond the arc today.
