Whitman-Hanson shocks Brockton, will play Mansfield.


The Whitman-Hanson boys' basketball team apparently does Senior Night right, as the Panthers knocked off the Brockton Boxers, 75-70, in what was technically their first-round game in the Mansfield Roundball Classic on Tuesday night.

The two teams agreed to play at Whitman-Hanson, and not at Mansfield on Monday, so the Panthers could stage their Senior Night festivities at home. Whitman-Hanson will play the other first-round winner, host Mansfield, at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at the James Albertini Memorial Gymnasium.

Prior to that game, the Mansfield girls will take on Natick for the girls' championship at 5:30 p.m. I'll have the call of both games on Mansfield Cable Access.

In other local basketball action, the Foxboro girls overcame a terrific defensive effort by Old Rochester to win the Warrior Classic title, 34-26, to clinch the No. 2 seed in the MIAA Division 2-South tournament. Lizzy Davis netted 12 points and Katelyn Mollica eight for the Warriors, 19-2.
