BANGOR – The Bangor boys basketball team tried it's best as Brewer just kept the pace up and while one team would get just a little lead it was not until late in the fourth quarter that Brewer was just too much and the fact they were 8-of-8 from the foul line and 14-of-14 in the second half proved to be costly for the Rams.
