After an exciting season of ups and downs for NCAA fans, here are some helpful March Madness hints for all the bracket-busters out there.
First off, let’s reflect back on the college basketball season that was. It was another great year for the freshmen, a roller coaster in the polls, and an ongoing coaching carousel. While the dominant teams easily cemented their seeds, others had disappointments. Some teams seemed to excel in the late stretch of the season, whereas others fell apart in one way or another.

It all goes back to a middle school gym class where we were playing basketball, and Willie Lyons was on the opposing team. I, the 5’4” small forward, straight out of Temple Beth Avodah, was on a fast break. I went up for the shot, and as expected, Willie stuffed me worse than a Thanksgiving turkey. I had never been so embarrassed. This was the moment I realized I was not Newton South Basketball material. Read more »

Senior boys’ volleyball captains Jeff Ackerstein and Josh Einhorn are looking forward to a successful season and are hoping to accomplish some of their major goals.
Last season, the team made it to the state tournament, their longtime goal. In the first round, the ninth-seeded boys’ team beat eighth-seed Taunton, but came up short in their next match against top-seeded New Bedford.
Hoping to reach the tournament for a second consecutive year, captains Ackerstein and Einhorn are hoping to obtain a higher seed for their team. They want to continue further in the state tournament, building off of success from previous years. Read more »
