Former Savio Prep boys basketball coach surfaces at Masconomet

Boxford - There are worse ways to go out. The Savio Prep boys basketball team’s final season in 2007 ended with state hardware — they won the Division 4 North and Eastern Massachusetts titles.

After that season, later in the spring, the school closed its doors. Most of the underclassmen ended up moving over to Pope John in Everett, but new Masconomet basketball head coach Frank Shea was out of a boys basketball coaching job.

“I was out of coaching last year, and I was looking at jobs that would interest me, and Masconomet was definitely a job that interested me,” Shea said.

He certainly has good memories of that last year at Savio Prep.

Thief taketh away from Eastie church

A heartless, Hell-bound thief kicked off the holiday season by snatching some $50,000 worth of silver and gold religious articles from Sacred Heart Church in East Boston on Tuesday night, cops said.

Swiped from the church altar was the gold- and silver-plated monstrance, a 2-foot stand in which the Eucharist is displayed, as well as the tabernacle’s gold-plated cover.

The church’s pastor, the Rev. Wayne Belschner, arrived yesterday at 7 a.m. to discover the missing items, along with an unholy mess of broken glass on the floor of the lower hall. In the grass outside, cops later found a brick used to shatter the window.
