It was a relatively quiet night for sports Wednesday, Jan. 11, with just two games on the schedule. Things pick back up tonight, Thursday, Jan. 12, with several games on the docket.
The East Grand girls and boys will host Shead at 5 and 6:30 p.m. respectively; Southern Aroostook girls travel to Hodgdon for a 6 p.m. game; Penobscot Valley girls travel to Katahdin for a 6:30 p.m. contest; and Calais comes to Houlton for a 7 p.m. game.
Results from Wednesday were:
Hodgdon boys 45, Fort Kent 52 — At Fort Kent, Jacob Daigle led the Warriors with 16 points as Fort Kent rolled past Hodgdon. Caleb Delisle hit five 3-pointers for 15 points for the Warriors (4-4).
For Hodgdon (8-4), Kevin McAfee led the Hawks with 14 points, while Daden Palmer added 12 points and Noah Nash had 11.
“We jumped to a 9-0 lead early in the first quarter and then Fort Kent went on a 13-3 run to end the quarter,” Hodgdon coach Rob Smith said. “They started to hit [3-pointers] and we did not close out on them well and gave them good looks.”
In the second half, the Hawks allowed only six baskets from the field, but could not capitalize on the offensive end.
“Our third game in as many days may have proved costly,” coach Smith said. “We have had some kids battling wear and tear and minor injuries over the last week. With our legs not being as fresh, we left a lot of shots short. In the end we fouled the right players to prolong the game but could not take advantage of it over the last minute.”
Fort Kent led 13-12, 31-23 and 42-37 at the quarter breaks.
Easton girls 36, Southern Aroostook 46, At Dyer Brook, the host-Warriors continued the recent trend of multiple players scoring in double figures to improve to 7-0 on the year. Kacy Daggett netted 12 points; Sydney Brewer had 11; and Makaelyn Porter chipped in 10 for the Warriors.
For Easton (5-5) Isabelle Morin led the way with 13 points.
SACS led 14-11, 27-23 and 37-31 at the quarter breaks.
