As is usually the case the seniors start the game, that can have an odd effect on a team and get them out of sync and that is precisely what happened to Camden Hills as Cony (0-17) gave the Windjammers much more of a game than they expected with the Windjammers taking a 58-44 win. The game at times was much closer than the score indicated.

With 3:38 left in the first quarter Camden Hills had an 8-0 lead led by senior Julia Holt who had six of those points including 4-of-4 from the foul line.

Camden Hills led after each quarter, 10-2, 24-10 and 42-29 heading into the final quarter of play.

The Windjammers were 19-of-26 (73 percent) from the foul line and they had one 3-pointer from Dostie.

For Cony, Lauren Murray had 15 points; Sidney Avery andOlivia Varney eight each; Allee Cloutier and Emma Whitney four each; Mackenzie Lewis three; and Sarah Caron two.

Camden Hills has one game left against Lawrence that was scheduled for Thursday, but will now need to be played Saturday as Lawrence already has a game on Friday with Brewer that was postponed from Tuesday, Feb. 7. Game date and time will be published when we are given the information.

Meanwhile, Camden Hills sits in seventh place in the Maine Principals' Association Heal Point Standing's with no place to go but up. A win over Lawrence would likely move them ahead of Waterville into sixth place. Camden Hills goes into the game at 11-6 while Lawrence is currently 10-6.
