The North Reading High School boys basketball team completed two of its goals this season. On Saturday night, they'll begin their quest for another.
After clinching a playoff berth and eventually polishing off an unbeaten season, the Hornets enter the North Division 3 postseason as the No. 1 seed with championship aspirations.
North Reading's playoff run tips off on Saturday on its home floor with a tilt against No. 9 seed Watertown, which thumped No. 8 Northeast Regional by an 80-52 margin in the opening round.
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon, but the game time was changed to Saturday at 7 p.m.
With a win, the Hornets would advance to the bracket semifinal, where they would potentially take on either Wayland or Arlington Catholic on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Watertown and North Reading did not meet during the regular season. Doors open at 6 p.m. for Saturday night's tilt.
