Superintendent screening committee announced

By Anne Marie Tobin

The Lynnfield School

Committee took another step

forward in its search for a new

school superintendent to replace

Jane Tremblay, who is

retiring at the end of the school

year, by picking screening

committee members.

Finance Director Tom

Geary of the Administrative

Leadership Team will chair

the committee. The other

Kelly Mertens was nominated

as a community representative.

An alternate was also selected

who will be named at a later

date in the event that one of

the parents or the community

member cannot serve.

The School Committee conducted

focus groups and an

online survey to get feedback

from the community as to the

composition of the screening

committee.

School committee chairman

Jamie Hayman said that the

level of interest among those

who wanted to serve on the

committee was overwhelming.

“We received far more applications

than we ever anticipated

for these positions," said

Committee Chairman Jamie

Hayman. "This shows that so

many people care so much

about the district and want to

donate their time, which is really

heartening.”

The timetable for the search

calls for the position to be

posted in early February with

committee orientation taking

place later in the month.

Town Treasurer/Collector Leslie

Davidson said she has a confident

hand on Lynnfield's financial

tiller thanks to outgoing Treasurer

Christine O'Sullivan's help.

“We had a great transition from

Christine to me and everything

is going extremely well,” said

Davidson. “It was extremely smooth.

Things were in tip-top shape when

I arrived. Christine really kept topshelf

records, so nothing was out of

place. She ran a pretty good ship, so

there really have been no real challenges,”

Davidson said.

Davidson spent about 10 days

starting last Oct. 21 in a transition period

working with O'Sullivan before

FINANCIAL PLAN, PAGE 3

In early March, the committee

will begin meeting to conduct

candidate interviews and select

semi-finalists. The committee

will present a list of finalists to

the School Committee in mid

to late March after which the

School Committee will conduct

site visits to finalists' districts

and also conduct public interviews

of the finalists.

The goal of the School

Committee is to have a new

superintendent appointed sometime

during the first half of April.

Hayman said that many

parents interested in serving

had backgrounds in education

and that it was important

to have a balance of educators

and non-educators on the

committee.

JM Electrical completes

clothing drive

Lynnfield-based JM

Electrical Company, Inc., leader

in advanced automated building

system installations, announced

completion this week of its holiday

winter clothing drive and

fundraising campaign.

The company raised almost

$2,000 and collected enough

winter apparel to help as many

as a dozen children for the entire

year.

“On behalf of our colleagues,

we hope these donations will

provide support, and warmth,

to those in need during the

cold months of the year,” said

Matthew Guarracino, principal at

JM Electrical. “We are proud to

contribute to an organization like

the Clothing Connection and support

their mission and programs.”

Based in Salem, The Clothing

Connection, a local nonprofit organization

which has served the

Salem community since 2016.

“We are so grateful for the

crew at JM Electrical. We loved

meeting everyone before the

holidays, and appreciated all

the enthusiasm and good questions,”

said Susanna Baird,

co-founder and co-president of

Clothing Connection.

During the month of December,

JM coordinated donations from

colleagues and friends with an

emphasis on cold weather gear

including jackets, boots, hats,

gloves and outerwear.

Made up of community members,

including parents and public

school staff in Salem, the Clothing

Connection provides clothes and

other essentials to Salem children.

During the last school year, the

organization supported more than

60 children at five Salem schools.

“Not only are we entering our

spring purchasing season with

a generous donation, but also

we now have a store of winter

items heading into next year,”

Baird said.

Andrew Kenneally has been

appointed to the Lynnfield

Library Board of Trustees.

Kenneally was appointed in

a unanimous vote during a

joint session of the Board

of Selectmen and Board of

Trustees Jan. 14 at the Al Merritt

Media and Cultural Center.

Trustees chairman Robert

Calamari said Kenneally comes

to the job with extensive experience

in communications and the

political arena.

“He brings a really great skill

set that will be very complimentary

to the existing board,

particularly in the areas of corporate

communications and

political campaigns and digital

strategies and a lot of things that

will be tremendously helpful

for us,” Calamari said.

Calamari said Kenneally will

serve out the remaining term of

Janine Rodrigues-Saldanha and

will pull papers for the April

election.

A Lynnfield resident since

2016 and father of two young

daughters, Kenneally said he

is no stranger to the Lynnfield

Library.

“I grew up in West Roxbury,

but always heard about the library

as my father would stop

there to read investment periodicals

on his way home from his

job in Middleton,” Kenneally

said. “My kids are huge fans

of the library and my oldest

daughter says the library is a

‘magical place’, and I could

not agree more. Almost every

weekend we go to the library

Kenneally has served as communications

director at the nonprofit

Workers Compensation

Research Institute in Cambridge

since April, 2011.

Prior to that, he was a principal

for Kenneally Communications

in Boston from November,

2009 through April, 2011.

Kenneally was an at-large

candidate for the Boston City

Council in November, 2009, finishing

fifth out of 15 candidates

in the primary and sixth out of

eight in the general election.

From December, 2004

through May, 2008, he served as

Boston city councilor Michael

Flaherty's director of policy

and communications. He was

chief of staff for Boston City

Councilor Maura Hennigan

from September, 2003 through

December, 2004.

From September, 2002

through August, 2003,

Kenneally was a political

consultant for the National

Democratic Institute in Belfast,

Northern Ireland.

Kenneally was the director

of internet communications

for U.S. Senator Harry Reid in

Washington, D.C. from April,

2001 through April, 2002.

Prior to that, he was a press

and legislative assistant for

U.S. Congressman Norman

through April, 2001 and also

Kenneally said due to the fact

that he works in Cambridge, it

is difficult to find time for the

library during the week, but he

makes up for it on weekends,

noting a few value-added benefits

that only libraries can offer.

“Commuting back and forth

to Cambridge, we don't have

a lot of time during the week,

but we always carve out time

on weekends to read, which I

cherish,” he said. “The books

we read inform us and entertain

us and make us laugh and

expand our horizons. I love

Amazon, but cannot imagine

what it would cost to purchase

all these books we read every

week, month and year. Not only

does the library save us money,

but it helps us to be green.”

Kenneally noted that in today's

fast-paced world of technology,

cell phone calls and

texts, the library invites patrons

a chance to relax quietly

with a book or magazine and

our thoughts.

“The Lynnfield Library is

a treasure and I want to see it

thrive and grow,” he said.

director. She also has private

sector and federal financial

management experience.

Jumping from Wenham to

Marblehead to Lynnfield was

easy for Davidson.

"Municipalities follow the

same laws, it's just there might

be different ways of getting

there from community to community.

Those communities

are quite similar to Lynnfield

although Marblehead is a bit

bigger and Wenham is slightly

smaller," she said.

Davidson said she learned

about the Lynnfield job

opening through a posting on

the Massachusetts Municipal

Association website.

"I thought it was time for a

change and the position looked

very attractive," said Davidson.

"I came in for an interview a

couple of weeks after I applied

and then, after a second interview,

I guess I was the only

finalist before the Board of

Selectmen. I guess they thought

I was the best fit. The people

here are great and have been

very welcoming."

She is the second woman to be

named recently to top town jobs.

Linda Emerson was the unanimous

choice of the Board of

Selectmen to succeed Trudy

Reid as Lynnfield Town Clerk,

who resigned in November to

accept the town clerk's position

for the town of North Andover.

The board interviewed

Emerson, the assistant town

clerk in Rockport, and finalist

Melissa Ripley, the assistant

town clerk in Melrose, during its

Jan. 14 meeting. Emerson comes

to Lynnfield with 28 years of

municipal experience in various

capacities under her belt.

She had been the assistant

town clerk in Rockport since

2011 and also served in the

same capacity from 1996-2001.

She served as an administrative

clerk for the Board of Assessors

from 2001-2011 and also served

as an administrative assistant

in the Office of the Building

Inspector from 1991-1996.

Rep. Jones files license plate bill honoring Medal of Liberty recipients

Weekly News Report

BOSTON – State Rep. Bradley

H. Jones, Jr., who represents

Lynnfield and North Reading

in the Massachusetts House,

has filed legislation to create a

new distinctive registration plate

honoring Massachusetts Medal

of Liberty recipients.

Created in 2009, the

Massachusetts Medal of Liberty

is awarded in conformance

with the standards and protocol

of the Purple Heart and is

given to the next of kin of service

men and women from the

Commonwealth who were killed

in action, died in service while in

a designated combat area in the

line of duty, or died as a result of

wounds received in action.

Qualifying family members

are eligible for one medal, and

recipients are selected by a threemember

commission comprised

of the state’s Adjutant General

and two field grade officers.

To date, the Medal of Liberty

has been awarded more than

500 times, according to Jones'

office. It is estimated that at

least 8,500 families may be eligible

for this military honor.

“The Medal of Liberty recognizes

the families of the

Commonwealth’s fallen service

members who have made the ultimate

sacrifice for our nation,”

said Jones. “By creating a Medal

of Liberty license plate, we can

further honor these families while

also raising awareness of this special

state-issued military honor.”

Legislation filed by Jones,

who also serves as leader of

the House Republican minority,

would allow individuals who

have been awarded the Medal of

Liberty to obtain a special registration

plate free of charge from

METCO, Educatius programs

approved for next year

the Registry of Motor Vehicles

bearing an image of the medal.

Jones filed the bill at the request

of Reading resident Arthur

Vars, who received the Medal

of Liberty on May 22, 2019

on behalf of his uncle, Army

Sgt. Christopher Young Vars, a

World War II and Korean War

veteran who died while being

held as a prisoner of war in

Pyoktong, North Korea.

The license legislation has

received bipartisan support in

the House and Senate, and currently

has a total of 51 legislative

co-sponsors. The bill has been

referred to the Joint Committee

on Transportation where it will

be scheduled for a public hearing.

For more information about the

Medal of Liberty is available on

the Massachusetts National Guard

website at https://www.massnationalguard.org/images/Docs/

Two popular student exchange

programs have been extended

through the 2020-2021

academic year.

The School Committee

voted unanimously at its Jan.

21 meeting to continue participation

in the Educatius Group

foreign exchange program and

to also to accept up to four new

METCO students for the 2020-

2021 year.

Up to 10 Educatius students

will be accepted next year.

This year, there are six students

enrolled at Lynnfield High

School, five from Brazil and

one from Vietnam. Two have

returned to their native countries

as they were enrolled in

half-year programs.

"Overall, the program has

been really successful," said

Principal Bob Cleary. "We have

had kids participate in athletics,

music and drama. Overall, the

program works really well and

we have had some kids come

back and visit after deciding to

go to college here. It gives our

kids a great experience, too, in

that they see what they have and

what everybody else has. We

have even had some students

who come for a half year who

wanted to change to full year."

Cleary said that the number

of Educatius students attending

the high school averages around

seven per year and that the most

popular countries are Brazil,

Germany, Italy, China and

Vietnam.

In response to a question from

committee chairman Jamie

Hayman, Cleary said the cost

of the program is covered by an

educational grant at no cost to

Lynnfield. He said there have

been minimal problems with

either students or host families.

"Since Barbara Langill has

taken over, she has done a dynamite

job and we have a number

of families still hosting multiple

kids year after year," Cleary

said. "But it's hard to predict the

level of interest as nationally

the number of international students

is slowing down."

The Educatius Group says it is

the world's largest organization

dedicated to high school programs

for international students.

The group partners directly with

high schools in 16 countries to

help students find the perfect

foreign exchange program.

In response to a question

from committee member Phil

McQueen, superintendent Jane

Tremblay said, while the benefits

of the METCO program are

obvious, expanding the number

of METCO students is hampered

by space limitations and

class size guidelines.

"We have four new students

at the beginning of every year

at the kindergarten level, two

at Huckleberry and two at

Summer Street, mainly so it

doesn't put us over the class

limits," Tremblay said.

Hayman credited METCO

Director Curtis Blyden for

opening "our eyes to what is

possible with METCO.

"I have also asked whether

we can expand the program in

the past as well," he said. "As

we start to have a resolution

around some of the space issues

and know where we will be able

to house everyone in the future,

I think (expansion) is a real opportunity

we need to explore."

Tremblay said bringing students

in at the kindergarten

level as opposed to first grade

has made for a better transition

overall.

"We found out that students

who had an opportunity to be in

our kindergarten program and

make friends and get our very

rich curriculum at the kindergarten

level tends to have been

more successful moving on

to first grade and through the

grades."

Siblings of existing students

have priority.

"This year we already have

one sibling slated to come and

traditionally we always take

siblings ," said Tremblay. "It

makes enrollment easier as the

parents are already familiar

with the routine and because

they know the program and

what the commitment is to the

program."

School Program of Studies approved

BY ANNE MARIE TOBIN

The School Committee

voted unanimously Jan. 21 to

accept a new Lynnfield High

School Program of Studies

for the 2020-2021 year.

Among the program

name changes were Foreign

Language is now World

Language; History is now

History and Social Science,

and Guidance is now School

Counseling and Guidance.

Physics CP will now be offered

to juniors as well as seniors,

while the math sequence

has also been rearranged with

seniors now having the option

of taking statistics.

The program had been

presented to the board at its

Jan. 7 meeting by Principal

Bob Cleary, who noted that a

great majority of the changes

were semantics in nature or

simple name changes.

Fire safety

money awarded

WEEKLY NEWS REPORT

The town will receive more

than $6,000 in state safety

grant money geared toward

protecting children and older

adults across Massachusetts

from fires.

The Lynnfield Fire

Department is among 235 departments

across the state to

receive Student Awareness of

Fire Education (S.A.F.E) and

Senior SAFE grants; six communities

will receive S.A.F.E.

grants only; and seven communities

will receive Senior

SAFE grants only.

The grants include $3,965

in S.A.F.E. money and $2,348

in Senior SAFE money.

“Since 1995, the S.A.F.E.

program has brought fire

education to hundreds of

thousands of students in

the Commonwealth,” said

Governor Charlie Baker.

“This program allows firefighters

and teachers to

work together to provide fire

and life safety education to

young people.”

The average number of

children dying in fires annually

has dropped by 76

percent since the S.A.F.E.

Program began. The Senior

SAFE program is in its

sixth year, providing firefighters

with the funding to

deliver fire safety education

to another vulnerable

population – seniors.

“The S.A.F.E. and Senior

SAFE programs are successful

because we have

trained firefighters who

deliver education to children

and older adults. The

fire departments being supported

in these public education

efforts are increasing

the safety of the people in

their communities,” said

state Fire Marshal Peter J.

Ostroskey.

The S.A.F.E. Program provides

$1.2 million through

the Executive Office of the

Public Safety and Security

to local fire departments.

The Senior SAFE program

provides $600,000 in grant

funds from fees paid by tobacco

companies to the

Fire Standard Compliant

Cigarette Program to ensure

their products meet the fire

safety requirements to be

sold in Massachusetts. The

programs are administered

by the state’s Department of

Fire Services.

“Home visits, smoke and

CO alarm installations, and

fire safety presentations

at senior centers by firefighters

with senior agencies

help older adults develop

strategies to stay safe

at home for longer,” said

Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito.

“Physics used to be only

for seniors, but this gives

kids more flexibility so

that by the time of the senior

year they are free to

take other elective courses,

such as forensics,” Cleary

said. “Sometimes physics

classes get overloaded

with seniors. If maybe a

few more take it as a junior

then they are taking something

else as a senior and

freeing up space.”

Cleary said the option

for seniors to take statistics

gives students another

option besides pre-calculus.

He said students on

the honors track, typically

take AL Calculus or AP

statistics, but students who

struggle with math had no

real options for a more

fundamental fourth-year

match class.

“A kid that kind of struggles

with their math as a

junior, getting into pre-calc

as a senior can be a real

struggle, and, again, the

student that says ‘I'm not

going to be an engineering

major,’ so I don't need that

technicality of calculus or

pre-calculus,” said Cleary.

“CP statistics will give

those students something

fundamental that is more

useful if you are going

into business or something

less technical. We think it

might be a better fit going

into college and also adds a

little bit more flexibility.”

An Honors level Chamber

Singers class has also been

added.

Cleary said this is in response

to the fact that there

is increased demand on

what Chamber Singers are

doing performance-wise as

well on the level of expectations

with respect to quality.

“We've gone back and

forth on it, but we thought

why not allow them to get

honors credit because they

are doing so much more,”

said Cleary.

Cleary said the biggest

change was to “flipflop”

Algebra 2, currently

taken by 10th graders, and

Geometry, currently taken

by ninth-graders.

“We go through this

every year and to be honest

with you, it's kind of one of

those things I don't know

why we didn't do this earlier,”

said Cleary.

Cleary said the decision

will make for a smoother

transition for eighthgraders,

who currently take

Algebra 1.

“They then go into geometry

in the ninth grade, which

is conceptually very different,”

said Cleary. “We thought the

better transition would be to go

from Algebra 1 in the eighth

grade straight to Algebra 2 in

the ninth so it's something a

little more consistent.”

Other changes included

using more consistent language

in the English course

descriptors and updating the

AP Art descriptors.

Cleary acknowledged that

despite the addition of a

full-time computer science

teacher, student demand to

take computer science still

is not being met. He added

that 95 students wanted to

take computer science last

year, but the school only

had 18 spots.

“We are in a holding pattern

right now as they are

doing research to see what

other offerings we may

offer,” said Cleary.

Meditating

your way

to wellness

By Kristen Reed

Have you tried meditation?

Do you find it hard to sit still?

Is it tough to find enough

time? And do you feel like you

can’t ‘turn your mind off’?

I’ve got good news: you can

do it in as little as three minutes

and do not have to turn

your mind off! Did you know

that meditating can: Reduce

stress and anxiety; improve

sleep; decrease depression; increase

concentration, memory,

and attention; decrease blood

pressure and enhance relationships,

kindness and empathy.

For those with even the

busiest, buzziest minds and

thoughts running through it,

here are some tips to help you

ease into meditation to reap its

innumerable benefits.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Start by creating a comfortable

space that is dedicated for

your meditation, although meditation

can be done anywhere.

This area should have everything

you might need so that

you don’t get distracted if you

need something that’s not right

near you. This may include a

cup of tea, a candle, some aromatherapy

and even some relaxing

music in the background

if that works for you. Also,

I sometimes hold beads or a

crystal too, to give my hands

something to focus on.

Keep a notebook or journal

nearby so that if you have any

important thoughts or ideas you

can get them down on paper to

avoid the inevitable distraction

of feeling like you have to try

to remember them throughout

your entire meditation.

Also, in addition to the

same comfortable spot, I like

to practice at the same time

of day, and find before bed

works best for me.

When thoughts come into

your mind (and they will),

visualize the thought as a

boat sailing by on the ocean.

Don’t try to ignore them or

get frustrated at yourself for

having them. Just see them,

acknowledge them and then

watch them float by. This

was an “aha” moment for me.

It’s not about “not having

any thoughts” come to your

mind, but rather letting them

come and letting them go. No

judging yourself here!

You may find it helpful to

concentrate on your breath

in the beginning to give your

mind something to focus on

and calm yourself. You can

also focus on a visualization/

image if you prefer.

You may find a free app

helpful to choose guided meditations

by intention or time

frame. YouTube, Spotify and

Insight Timer have great free

guided meditations.

Try starting with 3-5 minutes

of meditation so that

you’ll feel it is “doable” (not

overwhelming), the meditation

is an easy win, and you

can remain consistent in your

practice. Then work up from

there as you feel ready to do

so. Remember, we all start

from square one!

By Daniel Kane

MIDDLETON — The St. John’s

Prep hockey team put forth one of its

best offensive performances of the year

Saturday, skating past Austin Prep in a

6-2 win at Essex Sports Center.

The Eagles fell behind early on but

quickly flipped the script, scoring three

goals in less than three minutes in the

second period to steal all the momentum.

“Putting six goals on the board is

something we’re not accustomed to,” St.

John’s Prep coach Kristian Hanson said.

“We’ve struggled to score goals over the

course of the year. It’s about continuing

to get better every time we step on the

ice and guys starting to accept roles.

Things tend to fall into place when you

work hard, accept those roles and play

your position well.”

Jake DiNapoli capped off the Eagles

three-goal surge in the second with a

shorthanded goal on a breakaway. Evan

Moore scored two goals and dished an

assist while Zachary McKenelley added

one goal and one assist. Ryan Webb and

Ryan Hart each scored one goal.

“(Jake) was just buzzing out there all

game,” Hanson said. “He never stopped

moving his feet, competes the entire time

and always gives you maximum effort.

He had a really important goal for us, a

goal scorer’s goal, on that breakaway.”

St. John’s controlled the pace of play

early on to take a lead in the first period.

McKenelley had a scoring chance out

front that was initially saved but Moore

was there to grab the rebound and score

on a wide-open net to give the Eagles a

1-0 lead.

The Cougars got right back into it

a few minutes later. Goalkeeper Noah

Dorsey-Sorofman made a kick save on

Sports

Peabody/Lynnfield downs Oakmont

By Daniel Kane

PEABODY — The Peabody/Lynnfield

girls hockey team applied the “shoot

until you score” method Saturday when

the Tanners took the ice in a non-conference

game against visiting Oakmont.

And while the first few shots couldn’t

find their way past Spartans goalie

Ashley Bourn, the Tanners’ efforts soon

paid dividends.

Peabody pumped 43 shots and scored

on four of them en route to the 4-1 win at

McVann/O’Keefe Skating Rink.

The Tanners struck through first to

grab a 1-0 lead with 5:13 remaining

in the opening period, when Carolyn

Garafoli snatched a loose puck at the left

faceoff circle, cut in front of Bourn and

whipped one low to the stick side.

Oakmont then went on the power play,

but it was Peabody who took advantage

with Sammie Mirasolo sinking one inside

the right post off a pass from Reilly

Ganter, bumping Peabody’s lead to 2-0.

Mirasolo also scored on the power play

with 4:04 left in the second period for the

final Tanners goal.

Mirasolo felt that her team did a good

job Saturday and did not get frustrated

when the Tanners weren’t taking advantage

of the wide disparity in shots.

“We did a nice job making adjustments

in the game, We’ve just got to

keep trying when the shots don’t go in,

and we need to work on our rebounds

moving ahead,” Mirasolo said. “Get

shots and put in the rebounds.”

Jenna DiNapoli also scored for the

winners, off an assist from Jennifer

Flynn. Peabody split goalies Audrey

Buckley and Jeny Collins in net. The

pair was looking for a combined shutout

but Oakmont’s Ashley Jorge popped one

in with 5:17 left in the game to spoil their

bid.

Oakmont remained winless at 0-9-2

on the season but, despite the defeat,

Spartan coach Amy Miller felt her

girls played really well against a solid

Peabody squad.

“It was tough when they got that first

goal and we couldn’t match it. This team

is getting better every day, this is a very

tough team for us to play, and they have

a lot of talent,” Miller said. “Our team

has been working so hard at practice, our

goalie played an excellent game, and our

defense was strong and our offense is

starting to come around too.”

Peabody coach Michelle Roach was

glad to pick up a win, with a tough

stretch of league games coming up on

the schedule.

“The girls played really well, it was

good to get a win (Saturday). Our penalty

killing and our power play both did

a good job; they were passing well and

finding the open man when they needed

to. It was good to get that first goal to

start things off,” Roach said. “We’re

8-4-1 now and we have a lot of really big

league games coming up, starting next

Saturday against Marblehead.”

Peabody has a week to prepare for

Saturday afternoon’s (4) game against

Marblehead back at McVann/O’Keefe.

Carolyn Garofoli scored one goal for Peabody/Lynnfield in a win over Oakmont

Saturday.

St. John’s hockey blows past Austin Prep

an Austin Prep shot but Joe Thibodeau

buried the rebound to even things at 1-1.

Austin Prep came out and controlled

most of the second period, taking a 2-1

lead on Thibodeau’s second goal before

the Eagles started to shift momentum.

A power play got the Eagles on the

offensive midway through the second,

and while they didn’t score on the man

advantage, they exploded for three goals

over the next few minutes.

McKenelley scored on his one timer

just after the power play expired to even

the score at 2-2. Moore added his second

goal of the day soon after, and DiNapoli

skated to a breakaway while the Eagles

were short handed and scored to give St.

John’s a 4-2 lead before the third.

“We come back, get that second goal

and it kind of just changed things for

us,” Hanson said. “We got focused and

once we built that lead the guys really

bought in, believed and wanted it. It’s

not too many times this year that we’ve

played with a lead. It’s kind of a different

feeling for us and certainly something I

could get used to.”

The Eagles carried that momentum

into the third period. Webb and Hart

each found the back of the net in the final

period and Dorsey-Sorofman (18 saves)

was sharp the rest of the way to seal the

win for St. John’s

“We have skilled hockey players in

that room,” Hanson said. “You know it’s

a matter of time before things start to go

in. Hockey is a game of bounces and luck

and (Saturday) we got some of that. You

generate your own luck sometimes with

just effort, going to the net and making

things difficult for your opponent. We

did that (Saturday).”

The Eagles (6-3-4) host Malden

Catholic Wednesday (6:40).

Lynnfield’s Grace Klonsky (left) scored 12 points in a win over Masconomet last Friday.

Pioneers beat Masco

for first time in 17 years

By Anne Marie Tobin

Nobody saw this one coming.

Nobody.

The Lynnfield girls basketball

team has been inconsistent

all season long. Going into

last Friday’s road game against

mighty Masconomet, which had

lost just one game all year and

stood undefeated in the Cape

Ann League, there weren’t a

lot of people betting on a 4-6

Pioneer team to win.

Lynnfield had not beaten the

Chieftains since 2003, when all

but three of the players on this

year’s team hadn’t even been

born yet.

The first meeting of the

season between the two teams

played out as most games usually

go against the Chieftains,

which hardly broke a sweat in

a 53-30 victory. Masco’s allworld

guard and 1,000 point

scorer Mac Graves torched the

Pioneers for 31 points that night

Fast forward to Friday and

that 17-year drought finally was

put in the history books with a

37-35 win in a thriller, thanks to

a coast-to-coast drive and buzzer-beating

layup by junior point

guard Grace Klonsky.

Lynnfield held a three-point

lead, 35-32, with under a minute

to play after Riley Hallahan

drained a three-pointer. Masco

came back with a three of its

own to tie the game with about

12 seconds to play in regulation.

Coach Peter Bocchino called

a timeout to draw up a play.

“There were seven seconds

left and I told everyone that

there was only one player on

the court who could go the

length of the court, and that was

Grace,” said Bocchino. “So I

spread everyone out wide and

told her to go to the hoop. She

literally went the length of the

court in five seconds. It was just

a great finish to a great game.”

Klonsky, who hit a three from

mid-court to close out the third

quarter and send the Pioneers

into the final eight minutes with

a 28-26 lead, said she didn’t

agree with Bocchino’s decision.

“I thought we should have

done something else, but I guess

he knew what he was doing,”

said Klonsky. “It was just pure

focus and instinct. The whole

bench was screaming and the

parents were jumping onto the

court.”

One person who kept his cool

was Bocchino.

“I had to act like I had been

there before,” he said. “I can’t

say enough about Grace. She

finally has her confidence level

up and to do what she did against

Masco, and not just that last

shot, but the way she managed

the game was phenomenal.”

Klonsky said it was a total

team effort, especially the defense,

which held Graves to just

three points and Masco to its

lowest point total of the season.

“We knew that Graves likes

to go to her left, so we worked

on different rotations to force

her to her right,” said Klonsky.

“And Cate (MacDonald), Tori

(Morelli) and Riley were just

incredible rebounding.”

MacDonald (6 points) and

Morelli (12 points) finished

with 11 boards each, while

Hallahan (3 points) finished

with eight.

Klonsky (12 points) said she

thinks the game will be a turning

point the rest of the season.

“For me, the game was a big

one because we actually played

as a team for the first time all

year,” said Klonsky, a two-year

captain. “We’ve had our share

of arguments this season, but

we finally put all that aside and

played together.

“We needed that one win and

the others will start coming. We

had to play some tough teams

at the beginning of the season.

This game will go a long way to

saving our season.”

Klonsky deflected attention

away from her buzzer-beater

heroics.

“The three that Riley hit was

the shot of the game, no doubt

about it,” Klonsky said. “That

shot gave us all the confidence

we needed especially after

Masco hit their three. Her shot

really took the crowd out of it,

and they were really smacktalking

us the whole game.”

Chuck a Duck fundraiser

The Pioneers are back in action

Friday night when they take

on archrival North Reading at

home (6:30). The game features

a “Chuck a Duck” fundraiser at

halftime to help raise money for

the the end-of-year banquet and

other team expenses.

Members of the Lynnfield

youth basketball league have

been invited to attend. All youth

players wearing their youth basketball

jerseys will get in free.

Clayton Marengi had 22 points and six rebounds in a win over

Masconomet last Friday.

Lynnfield boys

win fourth

straight game

By Mike Alongi

LYNNFIELD — Four games

ago, the Lynnfield boys basketball

team was 2-6 and struggling.

Fast forward to Friday

night, and the Pioneers have

crept back into the state tournament

mix after notching a 65-57

win over Cape Ann League foe

Masconomet for their fourth

straight victory.

“At this point in the season,

you are what you are,”

said Lynnfield coach Scott

MacKenzie. “For the past

couple of weeks, the goal has

been to get back to .500 so we

can reset things and try to make

a run. I’m proud of the guys for

getting to this point.”

It was a full team effort offensively

for Lynnfield, but

Clayton Marengi led the way

with 22 points and six rebounds.

Jack Ford added 15 points and

three rebounds, while Max

Boustris put up a double-double

with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Khad Connell had six points

and 12 rebounds, while Blake

Peters had six points and six

rebounds.

It was all Lynnfield from

the beginning, as the Pioneers

jumped out to an early 9-point

lead before Masconomet had to

call a timeout. The Chieftains

went on a small run to close the

quarter, but Lynnfield still led

18-11 after one.

In the second quarter, Ford,

Marengi and Boustris helped

extend Lynnfield’s lead to as

many as 14 points. Marengi

scored 12 points in the first half

— including three 3-pointers —

while Boustris notched seven

points and eight rebounds. Ford

scored nine points and ran the

offense from the point guard

position. At the end of the first

half, the Pioneers led 34-22.

“The last few games, we’ve

shot the ball really well from

outside,” said MacKenzie.

“We came out early (Friday)

and hit four threes in the first

quarter, which really made

(Masconomet) have to adjust

their defense.”

But the second half was a different

story. Slowly but surely,

Masconomet started to climb

back into the game. A turnover

here and a big 3-pointer there

led to the Chieftains cutting the

deficit to just six points (45-39

Lynnfield) by the end of the

third quarter.

The rally continued into

the fourth quarter. Although

Masconomet never fully came

back to tie or take the lead, the

Chieftains fought all the way

back to make it a 55-54 game

with 2:30 left to play. But just

when they needed it most, the

Pioneers got a big 3-pointer

from Boustris and a pair of

stellar plays from Ford to go on

a quick 7-0 run and stretch the

lead back out to eight points.

After a pair of free throws from

Peters in the final seconds,

Lynnfield walked away with

the win.

“Once Masconomet made

that shift to man defense, I think

it took us out of our game and

we were trying too hard to hit

shots against the man coverage

instead of taking what we were

given,” MacKenzie said. “But

I have to give our guys some

credit, because we could’ve

folded at any point during that

run but we didn’t and we came

out with the win.”

Next up for Lynnfield (6-6) is

a home game against Melrose

Sunday afternoon (3).

“The key is to keep up the

positivity and keep pushing forward,”

MacKenzie said. “These

guys know what they need to

do to keep this level of play up.

We just want to accentuate the

things we do well and limit our

mistakes going forward.”

Lynnfield’s Tim Leggett won three matches for the Pioneers in a super-quad meet at Methuen High School last weekend.

Lynnfield wrestling does well at super-quad

By Anne Marie Tobin

METHUEN -- Saturday was a good

day for the Lynnfield/North Reading

wrestling team, which picked up three

wins in a super-quad meet at Methuen

High School.

Lynnfield finished 3-2 to bump its

season dual-meet record to 13-12.

Nik Marotta and Cam Randazzo won

four matches each, while, Tim Leggett,

Stuart Glover, Ryan McCullough,

Brandon Ouellette, Sean McCullough

and Greg Camier won three matches

each.

Sean McCullough dropped his first

match of the season (to St. John’s

Shrewsbury), but improved his record to

23-1.

LNR 48, Waltham 18

The Black and Gold opened the meet

with a solid win over Waltham.

“It’s always nice to start the day of

a super quad with a win, especially

knowing that there are four more

matches ahead,” said coach Craig Stone.

LNR winners included Leggett at 132

(2:30 pin); Glover at 138 (1:30 pin);

Marotta at 160 (1:37 pin); Dan Ryan at

170 (2:47 pin); Aidan Carucci at 195

(1:50 pin) and Ouellette at 220 (28

second pin). Randazzo picked up a forfeit

win.

LNR 24, Quabbin 18

Glover and Randazzo won by forfeit,

while Sean McCullough (55 seconds)

and Ouellette (27 seconds) won by pin.

“Quabbin was able to fill only five

weight classes,” said Stone. “Years

past, they were one of the top teams in

Division3 West, so hopefully they will

be able to build back their program.”

St. John’s Shrewsbury 41, LNR 28

LNR winners included Christian

Real-Costa at 120 (1:40 pin); Ryan

McCullough (2:50 pin); Marotta (15-4

major decision); Giovanni Colucciello at

182 (5:00 pin) and Camier (forfeit).

“We did not match up well as our

three captains (Leggett, Glover, and

McCullough) all lost matches,” said

Stone. “However, we still managed

to win five bouts and score more team

points against them than we did last

year. Our captains have been carrying

us through the season and it was good to

see their teammates take step up.”

LNR 54, Canton 21

The Black and Gold bounced back

from the loss to Shrewsbury, winning

nine of 14 matches.

“It was a great team win as we lost to

Canton last year,” said Stone.

LNR winners included Leggett (31

second pin); Glover (55 second pin);

Randazzo (1:21 pin); Ryan McCullough

(1:11 pin); Marotta (4:23 pin); Sean

McCullough (21 second pin); Carucci

(28 second pin); Ouellette (16 second

pin) and Camier (44 second pin).

Methuen 42, LNR 24

Leggett (1:36 pin), Randazzo (1:35

pin), Marotta (1:06 pin) and Sean

McCullough (34 second pin) were the

only winners for the Black and Gold.

“Methuen is one of the top-20 teams

in the state,” said Stone. “It was a tough

way to end the day, but we were in the

match individually and collectively and

that’s what counts.”
