Share This


It was a good Thursday night for Lynn Classical basketball fans, as both the boys and girls programs took care of business in a varsity doubleheader at Medford High.

The Lady Rams won, 47-36, making them co-champions of the Greater Boston League. They won the GBL last year, too, with a 20-0 record.

Lauren Wilson (19 points) led the way, followed by Savannah Tang (9) and freshman Divine Egbuta (9).

Classical upped its record to 14-4 and 12-2 in the GBL.

As for the boys, they squeaked out a 62-57 win with coach Marvin Avery adding he’s “very happy with the way my team’s been playing defense.”

The offense wasn’t bad, either. The Rams, 10-6, had three players in double digits in Marvin Avery Jr. (16 points), Rolky Brea Arias (10) and DJ Reynolds (10).
