There's not much of a turnaround any more between fall and winter sports, but the sooner we get into my favorite time of the year, the better.
Basketball season officially begins tonight with two games involving local teams. I'll be at Dighton-Rehoboth to watch the second game of the season-opening girls' tournament (D-R vs. Falmouth at 7, following Bishop Stang vs. Taunton), while the Bishop Feehan boys will visit Seekonk under new coach Joe Reddington.
The first full slate of the season is Friday night (and I'll be seeing both games of the girls-boys doubleheader at Mansfield against Canton), although some teams aren't kicking in until next Tuesday. I've got games to cover practically every day until New Year's, so those flotation devices I bring with me to preserve my spine will get a good workout. I covered 50 high school games last season and I hope to beat that record this year.
Coinciding with all that, The Sun Chronicle's annual basketball preview section will come with your copy of the newspaper on Friday. It will be chock-filled with information about your favorite teams and also contain schedules that are as up-to-the-minute as they could possibly be.
See you in the gyms!
