At age 36, Garnett
hasn’t lost his
sting around NBA

ALTHAM – He
was just 18 years
old with one year
of high school re-
maining when the move was
made in 1994.
Kevin Garnett left South
Carolina, where he had played
three years of basketball at
Mauldin High School, to
Chicago in order to attend Far-
ragut Academy.
It was during that one year
in the
Windy City
where the
intensity
that has fu-
eled Gar-
nett during
a NBA ca-
reer now in
its 18th season was turned up a
notch.
“You just learn,’’ said Gar-
nett before taking part in
Celtics’ practice on Thursday
afternoon. “Ever since I moved
from the South to the North,
you understand that northern
people are a lot more aggres-
sive than southern people.
“One of the lessons I
learned living in Chicago is
that no one is going to give you
anything. You have to take it. I
carried that mentality into the
league with me. Sam Mitchell
(a teammate when he was with
the Minnesota Timberwolves)
helped kind of massage that
mentality. BIG MAN

ROCKTON – Although
7-foot-1 Massasoit Com-
munity College sopho-
more Andrew McCarthy
takes long strides, he still
has many steps to take before he gets
back to where he wants to be.
Three years ago, the big man from
Scituate was a walk-on for the UMass.
men’s basketball team.
As a redshirt freshman last year in
Amherst, McCarthy played a small
role for the Minuteman, but his grades
dropped and he was declared academi-
cally ineligible and left school.
Having had time to reassess his
academic, and athletic, goals, Mc-
Carthy enrolled at Massasoit Commu-
nity College this year in an effort to
work his way back to the Div. 1 bas-
ketball court.
“I’m trying to get back on the right
path,” said McCarthy of his time at
Massasoit. “I’m using this mainly for
grades and developing good habits like
going to class because that was the
main issue – way too much ADD (At-
tention Deficit Disorder).”
McCarthy was a strong student at
Scituate High School, but had trouble
adjusting to life as a college freshman
at UMass.
“I kind of dug myself into a hole,
grades wise, at UMass,” said Mc-
Carthy. “Just couldn’t get out of it so I
got kicked out of school.”
McCarthy views Massasoit as a
place where he can find his way back
onto a Div. 1 roster again.
“He has all the skills (to play Div.
1 basketball),” said Massasoit men’s
basketball coach Jim Stapleton. “The
only issue is going to be what he has
to do to get to the next spot, offensive-
ly. If he does, and he and I have talked
about it, he can play anywhere at the

Brady, Schaub offer
contrast in postseason
experience, success

FOXBORO – With a win over the
Houston Texans in Sunday’s AFC divi-
sional playoff game at Gillette Stadium,
the Patriots’ Tom Brady will surpass
Joe Montana for the most playoff victo-
ries by a starting quarterback in NFL
history with 17.
The Texans’ quarterback will arrive
in Foxboro with some playoff records to
his credit as well.
With 29 completions in 38 attempts
for 262 yards in last Saturday’s 19-13
wildcard win over Cincinnati, Matt
Schaub set franchise playoff single-
game records for the Texans in each of
those departments.
Hey, it’s a start – and at the age of
31, last Saturday’s marked Schaub’s
playoff debut.

WILMINGTON – The Bruins
have been a pretty happy group this
week.
They’re together for the first time
since the NHL locked out the NHL
Players Association on Sept. 15, and
training camp, regular-season games
and paychecks are all on the horizon.
Nathan Horton seems more cheer-
ful than anyone, which is not surpris-
ing (he’s almost always smiling, any-
way) and easy to understand, given
what he’s been through in the last year.
