Description
Boston's top two boys middle school basketball teams collide at the Shelburne Community Center in Roxbury for a chance at the City title, as the Mildred takes on Boston Latin in the 2022 Boys BPS Middle School Basketball Championship!
B
A
Hello,
boston
and
welcome
to
the
shelburne
community
center
in
roxbury
for
the
2022
boys
middle
school
basketball
championship.
As
tonight,
the
mildred
bulldogs
will
be
taking
on
the
boston,
latin
wolf
pack,
hello,
everybody,
I'm
pat
flaherty
joined
by
my
partner.
As
always
alan
platt
and
alan.
We
mentioned
in
the
girls
middle
school
basketball
championship
how
some
of
the
high
schools
now
with
the
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
grade
now
attached
to
their
school.
They
now
have
some
middle
school
teams.
B
Opportunity,
like
you
said,
latin,
has
a
long
history
of
success
in
sports
on
the
girls
and
boys
varsity
high
school
level,
but
now
because
of
their
exam
school,
and
they
have,
like
you,
said
those
lower
grades.
It's
a
good
opportunity
for
some
younger
players
to
decide
so
well,
let's,
let's
see,
let's
try
it
out,
see
how
much
I
like
the
sports,
see
which
sports
I
like
and
stick
with
it,
and
so
it's
good
to
see
this.
A
B
There's
a
build
up
a
few
minutes:
yeah
there's
a
big
build
up
to
it.
The
coaches
are
on
you,
this
there
are
longer
seasons
and
that
those
are
some
of
the
factors
that
are
different.
This
middle
school
league
is
that
they
have
less
games,
like
you
mentioned
a
number
of
times,
sometimes
on
smaller
courts.
So
it's
not
the
real
feel.
This
shelburne
court
is
a
regulation
court.
It's
very
a
bit
long
and
wide.
A
C
A
D
Thanks
pat
just
spoke
with
both
coaches
bls
for
this
game.
They
want
to
be
physical,
they
want
to
be
the
aggressor,
they
want
to
take
charges
and
go
for
loose
balls.
Two
players
to
watch
boston,
latin
number,
two
will
white
and
number
15
joe
day
for
mildred.
On
the
other
side,
they
want
to
play
fast
and
focused,
and
they
we're
looking
at
for
that
team
for
mildred
number
five
malik
adamson
is
the
player
to
watch
back
to
you
guys.
B
A
Yeah
no
question
so
we'll
see
how
those
players
fair.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
talented
seventh
graders
too,
as
well
on
both
these
teams,
so
we'll
see
how
those
players
handle
the
pressure
of
a
championship
game
here
this
early
evening
at
the
shelburne
center
in
roxbury
folks
we're
going
to
head
to
break
when
we
come
back
we'll
have
the
opening
tap
here
from
the
shelburne
center
in
roxbury.
Right
after
these
messages,
don't
go
away.
E
Go
back
to
school
because
I
didn't
want
to
work
these
back-breaking
jobs,
the
rest
of
my
life,
with
the
help
of
my
father
and
having
my
son.
That
was
all
the
motivation
that
I
needed
to
come
back
to
school.
I
thought
accomplished
made
me
feel
that
I
could
take
on
whatever
challenges
life
throws
at
you.
I
K

Each
year
there
are
more
than
a
dozen
significant
tropical
and
winter
storms
that
threaten
the
east
coast,
so
chances
are,
there
will
be
more
hurricanes
and
blizzards
near
here
again
and
between
schools,
sports
and
social
lives
chances
are
you
won't
be
with
your
kids
when
it
happens,
will
they
know
what
to
do?
Ready.Gov
kids
has
all
the
educational
tools
and
information
to
make
the
conversation
easy
when
the
time
comes,
chances
are
they'll
feel
prepared,
not
scared.
So
talk
with
your
family
today.
Y
Z
Knows
he
shouldn't
eat
this
entire
bowl
of
nachos,
but
tonight
he's
earned
that
right
because
a
few
hours
ago,
in
the
middle
of
happy
hour,
he
recognized
a
sign
not
from
the
gods
or
a
bolt
of
lightning
but
from
a
double
heart,
a
kissy
face
and
a
fourth
in
that's
when
jordan
knew
he
was
buzzed.
So
when
it
was
time
to
go,
he
got
a
ride
home
instead
of
driving,
be
a
legend
like
jordan,
recognize
your
buzz
warning
signs
and
get
a
ride.
Home
buzz
driving
is
drunk
driving.
AA
A
Ready
welcome
back
to
the
show
burn
center
here
in
roxbury
for
the
2022
boys
middle
school,
bps,
basketball
championship,
it's
the
mildred
bulldogs
taking
on
the
boston,
latin
wolf
pack.
You
see
boston
latin
in
the
white
uniforms
with
the
purple
trim
mildred
with
the
blue
uniforms
and
the
white
trim,
as
we
are
just
about
set
to
go
here
at
the
shelburne
center.
B
You
know
it's
amazing,
that
over
the
years
a
number
of
young
players
who
played
in
this
game
told
us
how
this
was
like
a
springboard
to
their
high
school
playing
career,
and
so
it's
sort
of
a
little
little
bit
of
a
sneak
pre
peak
to
our
sneak
preview.
I
should
say
to
some
of
the
players
who
will
go
on
and
have
good
varsity
careers.
AB
A
B
A
A
B
A
B
B
A
B
B
B
AB
AB
A
B
A
B
B
Meanwhile,
latin
is
still
trying
to
adjust,
I
think,
to
the
to
the
atmosphere
and
this
aggressive
defense
by
mildred
and
it
because
tran,
the
big
fella
for
latin,
has
been
in
and
out
of
the
game
two
or
three
times
already.
So
I
think
for
latin.
The
coaches
are
trying
to
find
that
combination
of
five
that'll
run
their
offense
well,
but
also
still
get
back
on
defense.
B
B
B
B
A
B
B
Yeah,
it's
just
again
at
this
age,
you're
talking
about
seventh
and
eighth
graders,
so,
depending
on,
like
the
skill
level
and
their
skill
level,
and
their
experience
or
of
playing
organized
ball
really
starts
to
show
out
here
and
over
the
years
we've
done
these
games.
The
one
constant
has
always
been.
If
you
have
a
great
ball
handler,
who
you
can
trust
with
the
ball
to
cut
down
turnovers,
that
gives
you
an
edge
if
it's
even
which
tonight
might
be,
even
because
will
white
finally
get
himself
going
with
that
big
three-point
shot.
B
A
AA
AA
A
A
A
A
B
B
A
B
Well,
they
started
to
start
being
more
physical,
they
definitely
started
being
more
physical,
and
that
made
a
difference.
The
defense
picked
up
that
that
that
full-court
pressure
that
they
got
a
couple
of
turnovers
from
that
you
had
will
white
make
that
first
they're.
Finally,
their
first
hoop
in
the
second
quarter
that
big
three,
the
long
three-pointer
and
so
you're
right.
It's
only
12
to
six,
but
I
really
enjoy
how
they
they're
banging
each
other.
They.
B
A
B
It's
obvious
that
the
latin
coaches
said:
listen,
we've
got
to
match
that
intensity,
diving
on
the
floor,
getting
loose
balls,
creating
held
balls,
which
mildred
did
at
least
three
or
four
times
and
adamson
was
able
to
get
a
steal
and
call
a
timeout.
That's
right!
You
know
every
possession
is
important,
especially
looking
at
12
to
6..
So
obviously
every
possession
is
important
because
you
don't
know
how
much
scoring
you
can
really
depend
on.
That's.
E
When
I
never
graduated
from
high
school,
I
realized
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
school,
because
I
didn't
want
to
work
these
back
breaking
jobs,
the
rest
of
my
life,
with
the
help
of
my
father
and
having
my
son.
That
was
all
the
motivation
that
I
needed
to
come
back
to
school.
I
thought
accomplished
made
me
feel
that
I
could
take
on
whatever
challenges
life
throws
at
you.

Hey
world,
I
have
a
quick
message:
it's
about
safe
driving,
all
right.
Let's
go
any
time.
You're
driving
have
to
sit
but
buckle,
tight,
both
hands
on
the
wheel
and
your
phone
out
of
sight.
We're
not
in
your
hand,
trying
to
take
somebody
back
because
you
see
your
car
might
get
smacked.
The
more
of
the
story.
Just
put
your
phone
down.
The
people
on
the
road
will
stay
safe
and
sound.
Put
your
phone
down
put
your
phone
down.
People
on
the
road
will
stay
safe
and
sound
yeah.
A
D
AE
AE
A
B
Today,
unfortunately,
it
has
been
off
and
on
you're
right,
but
the
fast
number
of
years
well,
not
during
the
cove
we
covered
the
last
you
know
knocked
out
the
last
two,
but
again
to
keep
the
program
strong
again,
but
what
I
like
about
it,
the
idea
of
letting
young
people
at
younger
ages
decide
I'm
going
to
try
a
sport
right
just
just
to
see.
If
I
like
it
meantime
what
you
said
earlier,
pat
is:
what's
what
we're
seeing
from
latin,
as
will
white
has
really
gotten
more
aggressive,
offensively.
B
Well,
fourth:
quarter:
seven
minutes,
seven
point
game:
both
teams
have
had
like
many
runs.
No
one's
really
had
a
big
run,
but
it's
just
shows
that
the
the
balance
and
sort
of
the
the
way
that
these
guys
can
listen
latin
has
gotten
some
milers
out
of
their
full
court
pressure,
wouldn't
be
surprised
to
see
a
lot
more
of
that.
This
last
seven
minutes.
L
B
B
A
G
A
B
The
last
two
minutes
will
be
stop
time
and
also
they'll
if
they
stop
time
on
free
throws,
so
that
that
gives
latin
some
more
time
to
deal
with
six
point
game
now,
one
of
those
things
like
you
said
control.
You
know
this
is
where
bill
white
number
two
for
latin
and
adamson
number
five
for
mildred.
They
become
even
more
important
for
these
last
five
minutes.
A
We'll
see
what
latin
school
come
up
with
here
in
the
last
505.
they've
still
kept.
It
close.
It
got
the
double
digits
the
lead
you
know
during
the
third
quarter,
but
then
latin
school
kind
of
made
a
little
mini
run
to
keep
it
back
within
single
digits,
so
they're
still
hanging
around,
but
mildred
has
been
so
aggressive
here.
A
A
A
AA
A
B
B
AA
AA
A
A
B
You
talk
about
learning
lessons,
okay,
now,
white
from
this
game,
I
mean
I'm
sure
his
coach
might
mention
it
to
him.
Listen,
you
need
to
be
that
aggressive,
all
four
quarters,
because
almost
the
entire
first
quarter,
nobody
shot
the
ball,
including
what
he
finally
was
able
to
get
going
in
the
second
quarter
right.
You
look
back
on
it
now.
Those
first
eight
minutes
were
so
crucial.

It's
you
know.
These
games
are
always
fun
yeah
to
see
the
younger
players
and
when,
when
the
they
compete
as
hard
as
these
two
teams
did
sometimes
I
forget
how
young
they
are
sure.
I
mean
they're,
really
just
going
at
each
other.
They
are
and
what
I
did
like,
though
a
couple
of
times
there
was
an
inadvertent,
like
you
said,
smash
ups
right
right,
but
they
were,
they
were
helping
each
other
off
the
floor,
opposite.

Q
Y

Jordan
knows
he
shouldn't
eat
this
entire
bowl
of
nachos,
but
tonight
he's
earned
that
right
because
a
few

in
that's
when
jordan
knew

So
when
it
was

to
go,
he
got
a
ride
home
instead
of

A
Welcome
back
to
the
shelburne
community
center
in
roxbury
at
the
conclusion
of
the
2022
boys,
bps
middle
school
basketball
championship,
the
mildred
bulldogs
defeated
the
boston,
latin
wolf
pack,
37-29
fantastic
effort
this
evening
for
the
mildred
bulldogs,
and
you
know
we
saw
just
a
completely
intense
mildred
bulldogs
team
that
really
shared
the
basketball.
Well,
too,
you
see
a
lot
of
different
guys
get
shot
opportunities.
B
From
the
opening
tap,
like
you
said,
intense
that
defensive
intensity
really
set
the
tone
for
the
game,
that's
right
and
then,
like
you,
said,
the
the
offense
they
shared.
The
ball
looked
for
the
open
teammates
and
they
really
had
the
latin
defense
scrambling
around
to
the
point
where
latin's
offense
was
so
bad.
They
didn't
even
score
in
the
first
quarter.
That's
right!
Well
that
that
I
give
mildred
credit
for
being
consistent
throughout
the
game
and
the
the
effort
that
that
takes
physically
is
really
amazing,
but
they
kept
it
up.
A
B
Yeah
coming
into
the
game,
he
was
expected
to
be
the
main
guy
with
the
ball,
which
he
was.
He
had
a
bit
of
a
tough
time.
Shooting
shooting
free
throws
anyway,
but
he
did
everything
else,
the
seven
steel
he
has
seven
steals
going
into
the
fourth
quarter.
All
right
ended
up
with
double
figure
rebounds,
which
is
huge
from
a
point
guard,
because
you
want
the
ball
in
his
hands
anyway.
So
when
he
gets
it,
he
can
start
things
right
away.
No
question.

A

A
B
Latin
the
point
guard
white
with
22
points,
all
those
in
the
last
three
quarters,
but
big
three
said
what
five
three
pointers
out
of
those
22
points.
Two
points
for
bergson
rebounds
day
had
six
tran,
with
with
eight
sorry
assists.
They
had
two
and
white
had
one,
but
I
think
white's
22
points
showed
us
that
in
that
first
quarter,
when
latin
did
not
score
at
all,
he
probably
should
have
been
a
little
more
aggressive,
not
necessarily
selfish,
but
a
little
more
aggressive,
especially
with
that
shooting
touch
of
his.
B
A
little
more
spread
out,
you
have
adamson
play
of
the
game
with
12
12
points,
andre
added,
eight,
along
with
a
couple
of
offensive,
rebounds
and
emerson,
also
with
10
rebounds
andrei
with
seven
addison,
with
those
big
six
assists
saint
pierre
with
one
and
also
adamson
has
seven
steals
right.
So
it's
like
you,
said
adamson
coming
into
the
game.
Who's
gonna
be
the
guy
with
the
ball
most
of
the
time
on
offense
for
mildred.
He
did
take
care
of
the
ball.
A
No
question:
we
saw
adamson
kind
of
controlling
things
and
got
a
lot
of
different
players
involved,
and
that's
why
he
is
our
mvp
tonight.
He
was
good
at
both
offensively
and
defensively
tonight
for
the
mildred
folks.
