Community means a lot. Two different schools, North boys, and South Girls of Worcester, play in State CHIP. When one school loses, Joe Okla can be seen consoling Jaiyla Colon. THIS PIC AND OUR COMMUNITY MEANS A LOT!

Welcome to Nalajah Christopher of North High to the dunk club. We've never seen him do it until today( we think he has but not frequently or in front of us). No better incentive apparently, than not running if you make the dunk!

North defeats Hillhouse School(CT) 78-51. Unofficially Teshaun Steele of North may have broken school records and possibly more city or state records with 7 slam dunks in today's game. Most were assisted by Amir Jenkins. Great unselfish game.

BHOOPS
North gave up just 46.9 points on average per game in the 2023 season. They bettered their defense in 2024, allowing only 45.5 points per contest. A lot of factors go into winning a state chip, but CHAMPIONSHIP defense is a major priority for Coach Pettway
