The Lynn English girls basketball team has lost two games this season – both of them against Somerville.You’d think that would leave coach Fred Hogan vowing never to play Somerville again. But you’d be wrong.”We play games like this to get ready for the state tournament,” said Hogan, after his team fell in Somerville, 51-47, last night.”They have two girls over six feet, so they give us matchup problems,” Hogan said. ” But we need games like this.”The Highlanders handled everyone on the English side except for Jeanette Anderson who had 15 points. But Anderson was on the bench with three fouls for much of the third quarter when the Highlanders took the lead for good.”And in the fourth quarter,” Hogan said, “They just hit a lot of crucial free throws down the stretch and it helped them stay ahead of us.”English, 12-0 in the Northeastern Conference and 14-2 overall, plays Revere tonight, and a victory guarantees the Bulldogs the NEC-North title.Lynnfield 60, Georgetown 53At Lynnfield, this game belonged to Ali Newell, who not only scored 19 points but added eight rebounds.”She had a real strong game,” said coach Bill Adams.Also helping to lead the way for Lynnfield was Jamie Harris, who 12 points and six steals; and Nicole Crawford, “who scored eightg very tough points,” Adams said.Arlington Cath. 65, St. Mary’s 42At Lynn, Alison McCarthy was the only Spartan (12-4, 6-4) to reach double figures with 10 points.
