MARBLEHEAD — The 11th Larry McIntire IAABO Board 130 Classic is set for Sunday and Monday at Marblehead High School.
The tournament, named for the late Big East referee and longtime assigner for several high school leagues and the MIAA North sectional tournament, moves to Marblehead after being played at Beverly, North Andover, St. John’s Prep and Central Catholic.
The Marblehead High girls team will take on Peabody in the nightcap Sunday, Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. The Bishop Fenwick girls play Fenway High School in the first round on Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Marblehead boys team plays Bishop Fenwick in the first round on Sunday at 4:15 p.m. Gloucester will play Masconomet at 2:30 p.m.
On Monday, Feb. 20, the girls and boys consolation games will be played at 1 and 2:30 p.m., respectively, followed by the championship games at 4:15 and 6 p.m.
Thanks to donations that were made in McIntire’s memory when he died in 2020, this year the tournament will double its scholarship commitment, with two boys players and two girls players receiving a $1,000 scholarship.
Since its inception in 2011, the tournament has raised more than $35,000 for scholarships and Officials vs. Cancer, an American Cancer Society initiative that started in 2008 and has raised more than $2 million.
