Glenburn 5/6 boys dominate young, inexperienced OTO - YMCA in EMBBL travel basketball

GLENBURN - Saturday morning at the Glenburn School, the host Chargers breezed to a lopsided victory over the OTO - YMCA in a 5th/6th grade boys Eastern Maine Basketball League travel game. Glenburn was just to strong for the less experienced OTO team, who never stopped battling for a basket until the final buzzer sounded.

 OLD TOWN – The Riots of Old Town/Orono YMCA hosted the Hermon Hawks Saturday morning in an Eastern Maine Basketball League match up. The game started out pretty evenly until the Hawks started to click and it was play catch up the rest of the way for the Riots as they fall 56-31 to Hermon.

Sometimes just when you think you have a good shot the defense comes out of nowhere with a big stuff! It's part of the game. Good work by Hermon's Conner Kelley. (Photo by Ron Hawkes)
