Eighth-graders victorious

     The Caribou Middle School eighth-grade boys’ basketball team improved to 2-0 on the season after knocking off Central Aroostook last Wednesday, 51-29, in a game played in Mars Hill.

     The game was close at halftime, but the Vikes used a strong man-to-man defense and exploded for 20 points to put it away in the third quarter.

     Ethan Holdsworth netted 12 points and Sawyer Deprey was also in double figures with 10. Zack Madore (eight), Brevin Barnes (seven), Riley Bouchard (five) and Cody Waldermarson (four) also contributed on the offensive end for the Vikes.

     Miles Collier and Cory Herbert turned in strong efforts for Caribou.
