After a closely contested first half, North Andover went on to grab a 3-0 victory to advance to face Concord-Carlisle in the North Division 2 boys soccer title game.
Bill Tarbox is heading into retirement after this season. The North Andover boys soccer coach hopes to bring a title with him. The Scarlet Knights are one step closer to helping their coach reach that achievement after they toppled Wilmington in the North Division 2 semifinal by a 3-0 margin. “It’s the only way to go out,” said Tarbox. “Never plan this way, but if you’re going to retire there is no better way to go out than with hard working kids and skillful kids.” Following a defensive first half, North Andover and Wilmington appeared poised to enter halftime in a scoreless game. But as the Scarlet Knights began to ramp up the offensive pressure late in the frame, Alex Tustin cashed in on a scoring chance and made it 1-0 with less than …

Wilmington scores power play goal early, adds empty netter late to snag 2-0 North Division two semifinal win.
It may be of little consolation to North Andover boys hockey fans, but Scarlet Knights head coach Pete Marfione believes his team just lost to the Division 2 state champions. Though North Andover outshot Wilmington, 28-15, the locals fell, 2-0 on Tuesday night at Chelmsford Forum in the Division 2 North semifinal tilt. Wilmington, meanwhile, advanced to Monday’s final against Winthrop with a berth in the state championship game on the line. “They’ll probably win the next two games I’d imagine,” said Marfione. “They’re the best team we’ve faced all year. I’d be surprised if they didn’t win it all.” Wilmington junior Cam Owens roofed a rebound past North Andover goalie Joey Daccord with 1:47 left in the opening period. The power play goal …

North Andover falls at Concord-Carlisle.
The North Andover boys lacrosse team fell to Concord-Carlisle 8-2 yesterday afternoon at White Field in a Division 2 first round game. The loss ends the Knights’ season with a record of 11-9. North Andover showed no fear early against the second-seeded Patriots. They were able to get several good looks against Concord goalie Doug Gouchoe, but the junior was able to turn aside everything and keep the Knights at bay. “They’re defense is excellent,” North Andover coach Steve Connolly said. “They had three excellent long poles and two long-pole middies. They’re fast, athletic, and well-coached. They got a great team.” Concord scored midway through the first to take the early lead before exploding for four goals in the second to extend the lead…

Even though the North Andover cross-country teams missed the cut at the MIAA Eastern Mass Divisional Championships on Nov. 13, four Knights qualified for the All-State Meets on Nov. 20 in Gardner, MA with strong individual performances.
It was a matter of five points that ended up keeping the North Andover Scarlet Knights boys team out of the All-State Meets, as they finished in fifth place in Division II at the MIAA Eastern Mass Divisional Championships on Nov. 13 at Franklin Park. "We were just out by seven spots and 20 seconds," said head coach Rick Dellechiaie, "it was close and we made it interesting. Overall I am very happy with the way we ran today." The Knights (179) were just edged out by fourth place Lincoln-Sudbury (172) and missed the wildcard entry as their team time (1:28.56) was behind Acton-Boxborough (1:26.02), the DI fifth place finisher. Leading the way for the boys, and qualifying for All-States as individuals, were seniors Tip Coppa (17:10) and …
