ORR Advances Through The Elite Eight

            The Old Rochester Regional high school boys’ basketball team played Greater Lawrence Tech (15-7), in the Elite Eight on March 7, and won 52-49. Gavin Martin led the way, scoring 22 points and handing out 6 assists. Grady Oliveira scored 14 points and Brody Hiles scored 6. The Bulldogs were up 24-23 at halftime, and 49-40 late in the game, but Greater Lawrence came back and cut it to 1 with under a minute to go. Gavin Martin made 2 big free-throws in the clutch, and Old Rochester played good defense on the other end.

            “The kids went into a tough environment versus a good and athletic team and were resilient and executed our game plan enough to be successful. I am very proud of these hardworking boys and thank them for their efforts and am happy they are enjoying this great and life lasting experience,” said ORR Head Coach Steve Carvalho.

            The Bulldogs will play St. Mary’s high school (21-1), in Taunton on March 11 in the Final Four.
