SOMERSET — The stage was set for the Somerset Berkley boys basketball team.

 

A standing-room only crowd packed inside Veteran gymnasium was amped up to witness history against perennial Hockomock League power Mansfield. The Raiders was more than ready to deliver.

 

"A lot of people I heard from said that we were not going to win this game and we were not ready for this," said senior guard Mason Medeiros after the fourth-seeded SBR advanced to the Division 2 Final 4 with a 55-41 victory over the fifth-seeded Hornets. "We came through and made a statement. This feels great."

 

The Raiders (21-2) now have a date with No. 1 seed Malden Catholic next week Monday at 5 p.m. at UMass-Boston. The winner moves on to the state championship game.
