Hall of Fame family
North Andover's Titone family was beaming with pride last week as a family member, Jackie MacMullan, became the first female to win the prestigious Basketball Hall of Fame's Curt Gowdy media award. MacMullan, who is as kindhearted as she is talented, gave thanks to her sister and brother-in-law Sue and Vinnie Titone of North Andover. Sue played at Fairfield and Vinnie, of course, was a standout at Methuen and UMass Lowell. Both were on hand at the ceremony in Springfield.

He coached some great Methuen teams from 1978-81, led by Gary McLain, who Donlon brought with him from Long Island, and the aforementioned Vinnie Titone.
