▪ Billerica won the Merrimack Valley Conference golf championship at Longmeadow GC in Lowell. Central Catholic won Division 1 in the regular season, while Tewksbury took D2, but the Indians prevailed in the league tournament thanks to Jake Cataldo’s 4-over-par 76, which was good for fourth place, and Colin Kennedy’s 5-over 77, which tied him for fifth. Billerica finished at 14-over 230.
▪ With its 11th straight win, 3-0 over Marshfield, Pembroke girls’ volleyball (16-3, 14-2 PL) clinched the Patriot League’s Fisher Division title over Hanover (16-3, 13-3).
▪ Harvard freshman Tam Gavenas, a Phillips Andover graduate from Andover, was named Ivy League Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week after finishing 26th at the Nuttycombe Invitational with an 8K time of 23 minutes, 42.3 seconds, the fourth-fastest time among freshmen.

▪ Belmont has hired Danny Burns as boys’ basketball coach. Burns, a former Woburn standout (class of ‘03) who played at Westfield State (′07), spent the last six years coaching at Melrose, going 55-57 and peaking with a 13-8 record in 2023-24. He also spent six seasons as an assistant at Winchester.
▪ Former Quincy wrestling coach Carmen Marimo died Oct. 15 at age 78. Marimo coached Quincy for a decade, finishing a half-point away from a state title in 1983.
“He was one of the best motivators I had,” said BC High wrestling and Quincy football coach Ally Sleiman, who wrestled at Quincy after Marimo stepped down, but got to know him over the years. “He got the microphone and I could hear a pin drop. He said ‘This is why this is going to happen.’ He gave me the book ‘The Little Engine That Could,’ and said to always believe in yourself, always believe you’re going to win. I took that for the rest of my life.”
