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

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
served as an intern for U.S.

and the University of
Massachusetts Amherst (B.A.

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!

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).”

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 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.”
