The quarterfinals for Division 2-B (fifth and sixth grade) are complete, and in an ironic twist, the winners of today's games all had something in common; they are wore RED uniforms.

In the first game, Team O'Connor used a first quarter 16-0 run on their way to 28-12 victory over Team Stupin.

In the second game at East Elementary, Team Jensen used a 6-0 run in the second quarter to build a 14-5 advantage over Team Ford.  Both teams battled hard in the second half, and Team Jensen prevailed 19-11.

Perhaps the best game of day was Team Howie/Burton versus Team Dolan.  Team Dolan jumped out to a jump 6-0 in the first quarter before White got on the board.  After a spirited second and third quarter Dolan led 16-10 entering the final eight minutes of action.  Team Howie/Burton put on a furious rally shrinking the margin to just four 22-18 with two minutes remaining.  Team Dolan went on a 6-0 run in the span of 75 seconds to put the game away.  Final score; 28-18.

In the final game of the day, Team Gannon was just too much to handle for Team Hartwell.  After a very competitive first half, Team Hartwell trailed Team Gannon by only six at 12-6.  Unfortunately, for Team Hartwell, the basket on their offensive end of the floor has a lid nailed on it in the second half.  Many of the shots, simply wouldn't drop.  Team Gannon went on to the 22-6 victory.

Wednesday's semi-finals are now set.

At 7:00 PM, Team O'Connor will meet Team Jensen.  In the nightcap, at 8:00 PM, Team Dolan will battle Team Gannon.

The semi-finals will take place at Hingham Middle School.
