Rolling rally for North High champs begins at 1 p.m. Sunday, ending with Polar Park event
WORCESTER — The North High School championship boys' basketball team will be honored Sunday with a rolling rally through part of the city.
The two-hour celebration begins at 1 p.m., with the players boarding a duck boat at North High on Harrington Way and traveling to Polar Park on Madison Street, with brief rallies along the way.
The Polar Bears captured the state Division 1 boys' basketball crown with a 73-64 victory over Needham last Sunday.
The team will receive a police escort and travel the route in the open-air Beantown Betty duck boat.
