Girls’ basketball: Spruce Mountain rolls past Mt. Blue
FARMINGTON — The Spruce Mountain Phoenix acted like they owned the place when they stepped into Mt. Blue’s gymnasium Tuesday night. Actually, the Phoenix did, especially in the first half, and quickly distanced themselves from the Cougars in a girls’ basketball game, earning a 56-36 victory. Alex Bessey threw herself at the Cougars, risking life […]
Girls’ Basketball: Gardiner gobbles up Leavitt
TURNER — It was a little ironic that Leavitt’s first basket was a 3-pointer, because it was their only made 3, and the Gardiner defenders seemed to have three hands in the passing lanes at all times. The Hornets couldn’t hand the Tigers their third loss of the season. Instead, it’s now three wins in […]
And One: Scott’s return on deck for rolling Ramblers
A perfect 8-0 record has the Winthrop Ramblers at the top of the Mountain Valley Conference and Class C South standings. And they may be on the verge of getting even better. Coach Todd MacArthur said he hopes to have senior guard Nate Scott back in the fold some time during a four-game road stretch […]
Girls’ basketball: Greely gasses past Poland
But even just keeping pace with sophomore sensation Anna DeWolfe proved to be a difficult task for Poland, which couldn’t keep up during a 61-21 loss in a WMC contest Friday night. The Rangers (7-1) jumped ahead 9-3 without DeWolfe scoring a point, but the Knights’ (5-3) own standout player, junior Nathalie Theriault, poured in […]
Girls’ basketball: Fryeburg slams door on Leavitt, 43-37
TURNER — Fryeburg’s erratic shooting from the floor and ice-cold shooting from the free-throw line kept the door ajar for Leavitt to sneak away with a win in Friday night’s Class A South crossover contest. The Hornets just weren’t able to kick the door open. The Raiders held on for a 43-37 triumph to pick […]
Girls’ basketball: Dirigo takes down Wiscasset
The Cougars played with the necessary high energy on Thursday, and pulled together when they needed to, scoring nine unanswered points to start the second quarter. Conant was the catalyst with two baskets, and fellow senior Olivia Noyes started the run with a basket and a free throw. Ashley Perrault (nine points, five rebounds) scored […]
Girls’ Basketball: Brunswick bites Lewiston at the end
LEWISTON — Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference rivals Lewiston and Brunswick won’t get to play each other during the state basketball tournament in late February, with the Blue Devils classified in AA North and the Dragons slotted into Class A South. That’s a shame, but at least the two fan bases got to see the matchup […]
H.S. roundup: Oak Hill boys hold off Monmouth, 61-59
MONMOUTH — Oak Hill took over in the second half to claim a 61-59 boys’ basketball victory over Monmouth on Monday.

And One: Blue Devils hope to turn corner in 2017
If any team could use a fresh start in 2017, it’s the Lewiston boys’ basketball team. The Blue Devils ended 2016 with an 0-6 record. Their home losses to Bangor, Windham and Deering were much more competitive than losses at Oxford Hills, Portland and Cony (at the Augusta Civic Center). “We played well against Deering, […]
