The Peabody High boys are still hunting for a win, while the girls handily won their season opener, and the Crusaders over at Bishop Fenwick are off to a solid start.
It's been a tough start to the season so far for the Peabody High boys' basketball team. The Tanners lost to non-league opponent Somerville Wednesday night at home, 60-49, and then suffered defeat against league rival Salem Friday night, 57-35. Next up for the boys is Beverly Tuesday (7 p.m.) on the Panthers home court. The girls' team, however, had just the opposite game against Salem, shutting down the Witches, 54-37, in the season opener. Carolyn Scacchi was the high scorer for Peabody with 14 points. The Panthers travel to Peabody Tuesday (7 p.m.). Bishop Fenwick girls' basketball was on the rebound Friday after losing to powerhouse league foe Archbishop Williams Tuesday, 43-27.

For the first time in years, Peabody's Jason Hiou is not getting ready to play football this fall, but he has plenty to do to prepare for his freshman year in college, and that includes running track for the Minutemen.
This August is very unique for Peabody’s Jason Hiou: for the first time since he was a little boy, he isn't getting ready for football season. The 18-year-old has hung up his football cleats and his basketball sneakers and will be concentrating on running track when he heads to UMass-Amherst on Aug. 30 to start up his freshman year in the Pioneer Valley. “It’s strange, absolutely, not getting ready for football -- quite different for me this summer,” Hiou said. “I have so many great memories of playing football in Peabody, it’s kind of strange not getting ready to play football in the summer.” Hiou lives over near the Northshore Mall with his parents and his big brother Nick. The older Hiou is another solid Peabody athlete. Nick is getting…

End of the line for Tanners' basketball. Medford survives literal last second possession by Peabody to win out, 49-48.
Monday night proved to be the end of the road for the Peabody boys' basketball team this season, but the Tanners didn't go down without a fight. Peabody and Medford battled back and forth in the final minutes of the game, trading the lead amid a flurry of timeouts and short plays, before the Tanners ultimately dropped by a mere point, 49-48. Medford now advances in the state tournament to play Division I powerhouse Central Catholic. The Tanners were seeded 17th, entering the tournament, while the Mustangs were 16th. Despite being eliminated in the preliminary round, it was the first time the Peabody boys have made the postseason since 2007.

Peabody boys' basketball begins postseason Monday against Division I North opponents Medford Mustangs.
The Peabody High boys' basketball squad embarks on its tournament journey Monday night in Medford, still hot off a four-game winning streak, last beating Somerville on Thursday night, 68-65, in overtime. The Tanners (No. 17) are pitted against the No. 16 seeded Mustangs in a preliminary round contest -- both teams finished the season 10-10. Medford plays in the Greater Boston League. The MIAA released the basketball north and south sectional brackets on Friday. If the Peabody boys do advance Monday night, they'll be going up against powerhouse Central Catholic on Thursday. The Raiders, ranked one of the top high school teams this year, as in many a year past, suffered defeat just once this season at the hands of Lowell High. Central …

A stifling Danvers defense held the Tanners to just three points through the first 12 minutes of the first half, jumping out to a 31-3 lead.
It was not a pretty sight on the Tanners' home court Friday night, as the Peabody boys were outplayed in nearly every way by the visiting Falcons. Conference opponent Danvers, which has been tearing up the court this year, suffering only one loss so far, jumped out to a 31-3 lead Friday night in Peabody with 12 minutes elapsed. It wasn't much better at the half -- 42-14. By the final buzzer, the margin hadn't changed much with Danvers walking away with a 70-48 victory. The Falcons improved to 10-1 while the Tanners dropped to 5-5 after eaking out a win on Swampscott on Jan. 13. Peabody's Mike Gould was the high-scorer for the game with 16, dropping in six of his points from the arc -- he also had seven rebounds. Andrew Preshong also …
