▪ On Sunday, senior guard Javi Lopez leapfrogged Tyler Nelson as the most prolific scorer for the Central Catholic boys’ basketball program. With 33 points in a 67-60 victory over BC High, Lopez reached 1,505, surpassing Nelson’s 12-year-old total of 1,486. Heading into Wednesday’s game at Brewster Academy (N.H.), Lopez is 13 points shy of the school’s all-time scoring mark of 1,518, owned by Katie Zenevitch.
“He’s a special player,” Central Catholic coach Mark Dunham said of Lopez. “He allows me to coach him. I coach him hard, he’s the ultimate team guy, and we’re very fortunate to have him.”
▪ Hamilton-Wenham/Manchester Essex freshman gymnast Wren Romiza set a pair of school records in a 137.6-123.1 win over Bishop Fenwick on Sunday, setting a new mark on the beam with a 9.8 and blasting through the 20-year-old all-around record with a 37.4.

▪ Over the weekend, Saugus/Peabody wrestling captains Michael Maraio (150 pounds) and Jackson Deleidi (132) both recorded their 100th career wins.
▪ Four days after knocking off No. 7 Holland (Burke), New Bedford boys’ basketball was back at it again Tuesday, shocking No. 13 Brockton, 62-60, by rallying from down 9 in the second half. Diego Montanari (19 points) led the offensive attack and Danny Rocha came up with a clutch steal to seal the Big Three victory.
▪ Tyler Comman found Jake Levy with four seconds left in regulation to force overtime, then Josh Benson played hero with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer as Rockland boys’ basketball outlasted Middleborough, 63-62, in a South Shore Sullivan thriller. Will Carpine led all scorers with 21 points.
▪ O’Bryant clawed its way back from down 20 in the third quarter, sending a Boston City League boys’ basketball showdown with TechBoston to OT on senior Mula Norwich’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer. Junior captain Jackson Farrington (17 points, 11 rebounds) provided tough defense in the extra frame, including a game-saving block to force a second OT and Le’Roy Sulfaro raced for a breakaway layup to seal a 66-61 double-OT win. Norwich finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.
