North can bid farewell to their seven-game losing streak thanks to their game on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 51-48 win over the South Colonels. The victory was all the more spectacular given the Polar Bears' disadvantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts basketball rankings (they are ranked 204th, while the Colonels are ranked 89th).

North's win was their first in the league, bumping their league record up to 1-3 and their overall record up to 4-8. As for South, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-5 record this season.

Coincidentally, North and South will both be playing Tantasqua Regional the next time they take the court. The Polar Bears will host the Warriors at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, while the Colonels will head out to face them at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
