Albanian Hoops Star

[Mark Kosmo]

For those of you who want a boost of Albanian pride today

One of the top high school basketball players in the state is Albanian -- Efthim Butka of North Quincy.  He is the captain and leading scorer on the team, and last night they made a thrilling comeback to advance to the Division One South finals (State Quarterfinals).  He is not mentioned a lot in this article even though he led the team in scoring, but if you google his name you can find lots of articles -- http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/high-school/post/_/id/30808/d1-south-north-quincy-50-newton-north-46.  Father Liolin -- you will be happy to know that last night your former Altar Boy crossed himself before shooting a free throw to complete a three-point play (and he made it, too).
