Mr. March! Bobby Banks is one to watch!
Let’s hear it for Southie native and Boston Latin School senior Bobby Banks for scoring not one but two goals against Duxbury High in the Division 2 semi-finals, leading the Wolfpack hockey team to the championship game on Sunday. The senior defenseman’s goals were the only two goals of the game.

In addition to these two goals, Banks, #22, has scored in every game in the playoffs, including a 3-2 overtime win over Billerica, where he scored the winning goal.
Banks started his hockey career as a Mite for South Boston Youth Hockey. On Sunday, the Wolfpack will face Tewksbury in the State Championships at TD Garden at 7:30pm.
Way to go, Bobby! And let’s go Wolfpack! Bobby is the son of Claire and Jeb Banks and brother to Norah (BLS) and Brendan (BC High).
