    A 54-point second-half explosion helped Fitchburg crack open a relatively close game and send the Red Raiders to a 97-65 win over Mid-Wach A rival Wachusett.
         Gio Craciano had all 14 of his points in the second half, while John Gauvin balanced his game-high 23-point effort, scoring 12 in the first half, 11 in the second, as Fitchburg (14-1, 7-1) used its bench to wear down Wachusett. The Mountaineers got a 17-point effort from Dan Generelli.
