High school sports and the pros don’t often have ongoing overlaps.

But, this year, the Boston Celtics have family ties to the MIAA state tournaments.

Celtics’ president Brad Stevens and head coach Joe Mazzulla both have rooting interest in the high school postseason as Stevens’ daughter, Kinsley, plays for the Wellesley girls soccer team and Mazzulla’s son, Michael Harden, plays for the Xaverian football team.

As reported on X by Brendan Connelly of the Boston Herald and WATD, Stevens attended Wellesley’s 2-1 overtime win over No. 3 Brookline in the Division 1 Final Four at Weymouth High on Wednesday.

The win advanced No. 2 Wellesley to the state championship against No. 4 Bishop Feehan at Worcester State University on Saturday at 3 p.m.

While Stevens’ daughter competes for a state title, his son, Brady, is a current freshman guard at Notre Dame. Brady Stevens scored his 1,000th career point for the Wellesley High boys basketball history last winter.

“There’s nothing like high school football,” Mazzulla said to hosts Marc Bertrand and Scott Zolak in an interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub. “It comes down to situations, nothing more important.”
