Lynn Classical’s boys basketball team might just be making up for the weather. The red-hot Rams (13-3) extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 63-43 home win against Somerville on Thursday.
Rolky Brea-Arias continued his stellar season with a 15-point, 16-rebound performance. Deshawn Rucker added 14 points off the bench, while cousin Kam Rucker (6 assists) also reached double-digits with 11.
Classical ended the first half on a 16-0 run and led, 41-23, at the break. From there, it was all uphill for the Rams, who return to action next Thursday in Chelsea (6 p.m.).
