Glenburn 5/6 B Girls roll past MDI for big win

GLENBURN - Saturday afternoon at the Glenburn School, the 5/6 Lady Chargers out scored the Trojans of MDI 16-2 over the first half on their way to a 26-8 victory in an Eastern Maine Basketball League travel game.

The Glenburn win was a big one for three members of the Chargers team. Mariah Sharrow, Molly Simcox, and Sophie Peterson had never won a travel league game until today. They started at the 3/4 level, and after two years were still winless. It was good to get that first travel league game victory under their belt.
