The Andover coach needs to stop using words like "classy" when referring to his program.
"Other than a late fourth quarter chant from the Haverhill High student section, “We’re better people!,†it was pretty much a pedestrian night of MVC basketball.
When Fazio heard the chant, he immediately had a quick meeting on the bench with the reserves.
“I told them, ‘It’s OK. Let’s be a classy program, and not react,’†said Fazio. “Honestly, overall, the fans were great. The kids from both schools, in a sign of unity, walked out together. It was a good night for basketball.â€
It's fine to open your season with a decisive win over an, ahem, cupcake at home with the administration making sure the evil TV cameras stay outside, but Andover has play Haverhill on Friday up in Haverhill, where the men are men, the women are men, the sheep fear both of them, and they all hate the rich kids from Andover.
