On Tuesday, Pope John XXIII narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Randolph 56-52.
Meanwhile, Roxbury was expected to have a tough go of it on Tuesday, and, well, they did. They suffered a grim 47-17 defeat to Jefferson Township. The Gaels were down 41-11 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
