Celia Neilson earned all-tournament honors with 11 points, five assists, and four steals, while Isabella Lopez-Marin (11 points, 5 steals) “was great,” according to coach Adam DeBaggis.

Fenwick upped its record to 5-1 before Friday’s home matchup against Cardinal Spellman.

Dribbling over to Triton High, the Peabody boys left with a 67-40 win. Raphel Laurent (23 points, 5 steals, 5 rebounds, 4 assists), Anthony Forte (14 points, 5 steals, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), and Jariel Tolentino (10 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists) caught eyes.
