After four years as Andover High School’s Athletic Director Christopher Bergeron has resigned. Bergeron’s legacy featured triumphant athletic highs as well as a major low last winter when members of the boys basketball team were involved in a sexual hazing incident at Stonehill College. “It’s very bittersweet because I love Andover, I love the coaches, I love the program, and the student athletes,” Bergeron said. His regime was highlighted by three consecutive Division 1 girls basketball state titles and two consecutive Division 1 field hockey state titles. Bergeron cited “Walking on the Garden floor with the girls basketball team,” as one of many favorite memories in his four years with Andover. Andover High produced one of the state’s …

History was made at the DCU Center last night. "We're good," said Andover High coach Jim Tildsley after the state title game. "I mean we're very talented but we're mentally tough," he continued. Down by a pair at halftime, the Warriors clinched the state title with a 16-3 third quarter surge. "We could have packed it in a couple times and we didn't," said Tildsley. His squad won their third consecutive state title 61-45 to close the book on a remarkable high school basketball dynasty. "Three in a row and the icing on the cake is to go undefeated," Tildsley said. Andover finished the 2011-12 campaign 27-0.

Today at 5:45pm, the Andover High School Lady Warriors will take on Holyoke High School with the MIAA Division 1 state championship on the line. Worcester's DCU Center will host the festivities.

The Lady Warriors of the court are 11-0 and they have not lost a game in almost an entire calendar year. The last time the Andover girls took the court and lost a game was way back on February 6, 2011. That was their only loss of the 2010-11 season. Andover lost to Central Catholic on that day. It was only a four point loss, but that served to motivate the Warriors to a second consecutive state championship run. This year, Andover is again ranked as the best team in the state according to ESPNBoston.com. Last week, the Warriors thrashed a helpless Dracut squad in a 35 point rout. Nicole Boudreau scored 30 points and drained four three-pointers as the Warriors beat up Dracut on their own court, 82-47. Devon Caveney added 13 points. Tomorrow…

The Warriors took the ice on Wednesday night in their first regular season game of 2011-12. Liam Centrella was the first Warrior to put the biscuit in the basket for Andover this season. The Warriors won 3-0. As a sophomore, Centrella did not see much playing time. Centrella is looking forward to a strong senior season after being a leading point-scorer for his squad as a junior. He was tied for third on the team with 9 goals last season. He was second on the team in points with 24, earning him a spot on the team's top line. Andover's win on Wednesday provided a nice debut for new head coach Mike Ciarletta. Centrella, Ciarletta, and the Warriors return to action on Wednesday night at home against Waltham.
