With a win over Central Catholic, the Townies are headed to the Division 1 North Finals against Lexington this Saturday.
Charlestown won Boston's City League title last year, and when their 16-4 record this year didn't even qualify them for the City League contest, a lesser team might have called it quits and packed in their gym shorts.

Yesterday's win over BC High was summarized well in this section from a Boston Globe article on teams around the Boston area: Charlestown 77, BC High 62 - Senior point guard Rony Fernandez had 23 points and eight assists for the top-ranked Townies. “For us its all about defense,’’ said Charlestown coach Edson Cardoso. “We practice our defense for 1 hour 20 minutes of every practice, so we can keep pressuring the ball in the fourth with the same energy as we did in the first.’’ Charlestown took a 44-29 lead into halftime, powered by its halfcourt…
