DANVERS – The Roger Alley Award for sportsmanship might have Swampscott’s Allie Beaulieu’s name on it this year, but the senior who was such a vital cog in the Big Blue’s first-ever girls basketball state title knows it goes much further than that.”It’s like I’ve said all year, I wouldn’t have done anything without my teammates,” said the Bates College-bound Beaulieu. “So this is really an award for the whole team. Not just me.Beaulieu had a whirlwind senior season. Last month, she eclipsed the 1,000-point mark in a win against Gloucester. Earlier this month, in emphatic fashion, the Big Blue bowled their way through Pentucket, Archbishop Williams and Quahoag within a week to capture their state championship – erasing a curse of sorts with the victory over the Sachems in the Division 3 North final.That they did on the court was good enough. But Board 130 of the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials thought that Beaulieu, in particular, displayed a sportsmanship and a penchant for playing the game the right way that went well beyond winning.”That’s what was so great about our team,” said Beaulieu. “We played the game the right way.”To her relief, the soft-spoken Beaulieu didn’t have to make a speech after being presented with the award, but if she’d spoken, “I would have talked about what a great accomplishment this was ? how honored I am to received this award ? that Roger Alley was a great man, and I’m humbled to receive an award in his honor.”Alley was one of several IAABO pioneers to be honored with awards named for them at Tuesday night’s banquet at the Danversport Yacht Club. Other winners were Beverly boys coach Scott Lewis (Robert Pierce Award), Central Catholic girls coach Susan Downer (John Squires Sr. Award), both for sportsmanship; Craig Melillo of Wilmington (Edward “Gint” Middleton Award for boys basketball sportsmanship), Dave Bolduc, Paul Hickey and Jim Quinn (Robert A. Gallagher Award). Also honored was Lowell Catholic’s Dan Bradley, who received the Courage Award.Beaulieu said the Swampscott girls put great emphasis on on-court deportment – and for a number of reasons.”Referees do what they do ? we do what we do,” she said. “They’re working hard out there, and if they make a mistake ? we make mistakes too.”She said none of the girls on this year’s Big Blue were fazed too much by the odd bad call.”It’s going to happen,” she said. “But if it does, that’s just one play. There’s always the next play.”Beaulieu said it’s just now starting to sink on that the Big Blue not only won a title, but made history.”It’s sinking in,” she said, “but not totally.”As for the history of it all, “maybe I’ll think about it in 10 years,” she said, “but not right now.”And while she’s certainly elated to have won a state championship, “I keep expecting to go to practice and play,” she said. “I’m really going to miss playing with my teammates.”She forged a particular bond with her two other seniors from this year’s team: Tara Nimkar and Marissa Gambale. By the time the tournament ended, Nimkar and Beaulieu were pretty much a matching set.”It’s been like that for three years,” she said. “But we’re all great friends.”
