Brockton Bests Townies at TD Garden
Townies suffer overtime loss.
Charlestown marched their game to the TD Garden Monday night, and put up a strong effort, but fell in overtime to Brockton’s surge. Coach Edson Cardoso’s crew fell behind in the first half before fighting back to take a lead into the final minutes of the fourth quarter. As the clock ticked down, though, Brockton tied the score and forced the game into overtime. The boxers continued that surge and built a five-point lead—too much for the Townies to overcome. Fans tweeting from the game called it good game, saying that Charlestown played its best.

Charlestown High Boys' Varsity Basketball Heads To Finals
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. The Townies didn't, though, and now they are on their way to the Division 1 North Finals. Their defeat of Central Catholic last night was a close one, at 54-47, and several news agencies covered their victory. The Boston Herald called them "Toasts Of Town" in their article, and in a Herald sports blog about the game said, "If there is a redeeming quality about this Townie team, it would have to be their resiliency," mentioned that they were "only playing 6 guys," and gave them credit for their "mental toughness." …
