Travel basketball with 7-8th grade girls B teams from Camden-Rockport, the Windjammers, and the host Hampden Broncos.

An exciting game between two very competitive teams. The Windjammers led after the first quarter 10-9 but fell behind Hampden 15-14 at the half.  The Windjammers built a little lead in the third quarter as they outscored Hampden 10-6, fueled by a pair of back-to-back 3-pointers from Camden's Natalia Davis. That lead was enough to hold off the Broncos as the Windjammers outscored Hampden 11-10 in the final stanza for the 35-31 win.

Scoring for the Windjammers was Davis with a team-high 13 points,  including two 3-pointers. Also scoring for the Windjammers was Esma Tobiasz with six points, Liv Domareki and Maggie Harbaugh with four each, and Julia Hart and Baya Healey with two each. The Windjammers were 1-of-6 from the foul line.

For Hampden, Rivers Bradford had a game-high 16 points, Avery Light and Ahlyza Dunham with five each, Mia Reid and Kenzie Stone with two points each, and Sophia Lord with one point. The Broncos were 7-of-18 from the charity stripe.

This game like the previous lacked accurate scorebook and names. Here is the best I can figure out. All information is taken from the scorebooks available. 

For Glenburn, Griffin Dunton led the scoring 23 points including a 3-pointer. Zach #13 had 12 points, Caleb #14 added 11 points, #23 had five points, and #11 and #12 had two points each. 

For the Orrington Rec, #4 led the team with 16 points, #5 added 11, #10 four, #3 three, and #13 two points each.

The Orrington team knocked down seven 3-point shots in the game.

Youth Basketball in full swing

The Eastern Maine Basketball League is underway with grades 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 boys and girls. 

Games are played at various gyms across the area on Saturdays and Sundays. 

The first game today was the 5th & 6th grade boys from Glenburn hosting the Old Town Rec 5th & 6th boys.

It was a very close game all the way with Glenburn coming back to tie the score at 50-50 to end the fourth quarter. The overtime is four minutes and Glenburn was able to hold off the Old Town boys outscoring them 9-5 to capture the 59-55 win.

Getting the names of players in a scorebook is almost always a problem so if I have them I will use them. If not I will use the players' numbers. All information is taken from the team's scorebook or league scorebook if available. 

For Glenburn, I have some first names and uniform numbers. The top scorer was, #22-Jace, with 33 points, followed by Brod #24 with 20 points including three three pointers. #31 Eli and #21 Agaba three points each. 

For Old Town, it looks like the numbers do not match up so I have Carter Cox, with a team-high 17 points, and Mason Frost with 11. Other player numbers do not total what should be the score. 

The full schedule for the league can be seen here.
