For the third time in four years, the MRA middle school boys basketball team played in the championship game. The boys have competed well since joining the Merrimack Basketball League, and they are continually one of the stronger teams in division one.  In a bid to repeat last year’s championship, the team played hard but came up short against St. John’s.

The team had a strong finish to the season after a slow start.  They utilized their speed, quickness. and excellent defense in order to be competitive against the many teams with superior size.  They finished with an overall record of 7-10.
