East Boston until now was the only North team I hadn't seen. So I went to Maverick Sq. Dorchester was ready to give another North team a run for their money and Oh did they do just that! Here we go.
In the first, speed was definitely a factor. EB got steals early when doubling down on the guards with the ball. That led to quite a few transition buckets. But four 3s including two from G CeeJae Agnew-Carter kept the Bears lurking. He would finish the quarter with 8 points. EB's Will March however took firm control of the paint and couldn't be stopped in transition. He had 6 so far.
East Boston 18 Dorchester 16
The way the next quarter started off was just sad. Dorchester had countless times to rotate the ball. Almost every attempt to insert the ball into the paint from the wing as well as every cross court (wing to wing) perimeter pass was picked off or tipped by a Jets' defender. March continued his barrage of the paint although he had foul trouble. He had 8 pts in that quarter including 2 of 6 FTs. Agnew-Carter had another 5 points in that period which did nothing to boost the score.
East Boston 37 Dorchester 26
To start the half, the Bears had a 9-2 run to put them within 4.(2:21) An extra FT from junior G/F Sealy Leon and a bucket from senior G Jeduan Langston put them within 1. It was then that EB called timeout.(1:26) The Jets then entered the bonus.(1:16) A 3 pointer from G Dion Knight and additional points from G Pat Santos opened the lead back up to 4 to end the period.

After a back and forth battle, DOR's Khalil Newson had put up 6 pts and Trey Moon added another 4 including the bucket to tie it at 53. This forced a EB timeout.(2:03) At (1:06) F Amilcar Guevara scored on a 3 point play. But a EB bonus foul sent Langston to the line where he made both to bring the Bears within 1 again. Then Agnew-Carter got a steal and timeout was called by DOR.(36.7) Langston, after missing a shot, got his own rebound and was fouled going back up. He made both FTs to put DOR up one. EB timeout.(10.9) A shot by sophomore guard Marcus Shaw put EB up one.(1.4) Langston at the buzzer missed it from the half court line.
