Everett boys basketball team wins final GBL championship

By Cary Shuman

The Everett High School boys basketball team claimed the last Greater Boston League title in history with a commanding 61-37 victory over Malden Saturday at Medford High school.

Junior guard Ghared Boyce heated up the icy neutral-site gym with a 24-point performance that included three 3-pointers and 3-of-4 from the line. Senior center Theo Zidor had 12 points and 6 rebounds. Jordan McAfee had nine points while Isaiah Likely contributed six points.

Everett opened the game with an 11-0 run before Malden answered with 11 points of its own for a deadlock at the end of one quarter. The Tide led 29-20 at the half and turned on the jets to open up a 46-28 lead after three quarters. Everett extended its lead in the fourth quarter.

This is the last season for the GBL that has been in existence for six decades. Schools such as New Bedford, North Quincy, Quincy, and Haverhill were once members of the league.

Everett, Malden, Medford, and Somerville are joining the Northeastern Conference to create a 16-team, multi-division league. The four schools will be reuniting with former GBL members Peabody and Revere.

Everett (12-1) was scheduled to host Division 1 western Mass. powerhouse Springfield Central Tuesday night. The Tide play at Saugus Saturday.

Everett will be looking to maintain its current No. 2 seed (behind unbeaten Cambridge) in the Division 1 North sectionals. Should both teams emerge from their brackets, the two former GBL rivals would meet in the North final on a neutral court. But there is still plenty of basketball to be played before the tournament pairings are announced on Friday, Feb. 23.
