AMHERST - James Sowers' birthday wish came true. The Amherst Regional junior guard played a terrific game as the Hurricanes beat rival Northampton 46-41 Monday night to sweep the season series. "It was a very good birthday present," said Sowers, who turned 17. "I wanted a win against Northampton and we got it." Sowers scored a career-high 15 points for Amherst (7-6, 3-1 Suburban), which was missing second leading scorer Josh Whitaker. While Sowers contributed on the offensive end, it was Amherst's defense that played a major part in the victory.
HADLEY - Olivia Mathieu did everything she could to try to will the Hopkins Academy girls basketball team to a victory over unbeaten Mahar Regional.
The junior guard created turnovers, fought hard on the glass and took over when needed offensively, but it wasn't enough in a 72-63 loss to the Senators at home Friday night.
