Boys basketball team wins court injunction to get into MIAA tournament field
Sometimes it takes a second effort. Doesn’t the Oliver Ames High boys basketball team know all about that. The Tigers spent the school day Monday at Bristol County Superior Court receiving a court injunction stating the team will retain its No. 32 seed in the Division 2 state tournament after an asterisk was put next to its name at the final power rankings’ release, saying ‘Did not enter tournament.’ The MIAA said in a press release that Oliver Ames, despite qualifying for it, “failed to complete the entry process into the boys’ basketball state tournament” due to not submitting an entry form by the Feb. 16 deadline. So, of course, Oliver Ames won a game that almost wasn’t – Wednesday’s Division 2 preliminary game against No. 33 Norwood – on a second-chance opportunity.
