March 9, 2010

Pentucket Girls High School BasketballWhen: Tuesday, March 9th, Game Time: 4:15 pm
Where: TD Garden, Boston, MA.

Good luck to the Pentucket Girls Basketball team today in their Division 3 Semifinal game at TD Garden. The Pentucket Sachems (25-0) will be taking on perennial Division 3 basketball power Archbishop Williams (20-5) in a 4:15 late afternoon game at TD Garden.

This is the third time in four years that Pentucket will be facing off against Archbishop Williams. Pentucket came up short in the past two meetings in 2007 and 2008. Hopefully the third time will be the charm for Pentucket!

Good luck Sachems!
