Lemme' get this straight: 🏀 Ray Allen makes 40% of his *career* 3 pointers and is inducted into the hall of fame. 🏫 BUT, Frank gets 50% of the points in his class and it's an "F." ⁉️ So, maybe the points & percentages we often use in schools are a bit arbitrary? #sblchat

Division 4 North and South baseball players to watch, team rankings. If a COACH feels there is a player who should have been mentioned, please feel free to email me at donato.ventura@bostonherald.com or through DM on twitter @BostonHeraldHS

Great to stop by @SouthShoreTec today — the school has been using 3D printers to make face shields for local area hospitals & first responders. They’ve donated over 250 thus far and are now producing 75-80 a day. I’m really proud to see so many in our community stepping up.

We would like to thank South Shore Tech. for their donation of these face shields. These will help minimize the risk to our members. @KBoyleSSVT @SouthShoreTec @SSVTSuper

If you can help, please do! #together
Just got off phone with Dr. Peter Slavin, president of Mass General. He is looking for anyone with a 3D printer to help make masks. He says there is a formula online. “I would hope companies across the country...would start making masks later this afternoon.” @NBC10Boston

Tom Scott, Executive Director M.A.S.S. added that superintendents have to weigh the balance between the health of students and the responsibility to educate them. And, he said superintendents feel the need to err on the side of caution. https://t.co/oH06glVmke
