BOSTON — Latin Academy boys basketball routs South Boston 91-49, advancing to Boston City League semifinals for first time in over 20 years. The Dragons, who went 6-1 in the Boston North division this season, pulled away from the Knights behind a barrage of three-pointers from Muhammad Ali and Nemo Stuppard, with Mason Lawson adding a steal-and-score that pushed the lead to 13 in the first quarter; Latin Academy led by 26 at the half and won by 42. The Dragons will face New Mission on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Madison Park's Matadome in the City semifinals.

In a separate milestone, Madison Park head coach Dennis Wilson earned his 400th career victory on February 10 when the Cardinals defeated Cash 57-33, capping a 34-year tenure that includes a state championship, multiple city titles, and a court named in his honor since 2015.
