Statement of Andover High School Principal Philip Conrad

ANDOVER — Andover High School Principal Philip Conrad sent the following statement to Andover High School families this afternoon:

“I am writing to inform you that the Andover Public Schools has concluded its independent investigation of the allegations filed with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) against our ice hockey coaching staff. Our investigation found that the allegations were ‘Not Sustained.’

“It is my intention to reinstate the ice hockey coaches as soon as we can if I can confirm that the DCF investigation has reached the same conclusion. However, at this point we have not received any communication of determination from the agency. As soon as we do I will be able to make a determination about returning the coaches to their full coaching duties. Unfortunately it does not appear that DCF is going to complete their investigation in accordance with the timeline originally provided​ to any of us by the agency.

“This continues to be a difficult time for all of us and I am sure that it has been difficult for you and your family. I hope this can be resolved quickly.​”

Endicott led by as many as 11 points with six minutes left in the first half, but a 17-3 run by Salve Regina put the Seahawks on top, 40-37, going into halftime. Meanwhile, the second half went bucket-for-bucket, but the Seahawks were able to hold onto a one-possession advantage late in the matchup and secure the victory.

Rodney Morton (Malden, Mass.) tied up the contest with a jumper at 4:56 to make it 64-64, while Andrew Bronstein (Needham, Mass) followed with a pair of made free throws at 4:13 and Salve Regina never relinquished that lead the rest of the way.

Pratt was then tasked with clinching the game at the free throw line and the sophomore guard was up to the task going 4-for-4 at the charity stripe with under 15-seconds remaining in the matchup.
