The day after his team lost a game by 92 points, Mike Hartford might have been angry.
Instead, the Washburn District High School boys varsity basketball coach was philosophical.
“I haven’t spent a lot of time talking about it and to be honest I don’t want to make a big deal out of it or a big story out of it,” said Hartford, whose rebuilding Beavers fell to 0-5 this season after its 108-16 homecourt loss to Fort Kent on Wednesday night. “The opposing coach did what he felt he needed to do. I may or may not agree or disagree with it but it is what it is and we’re just going to keep playing games and go from here.”
Fort Kent raced out to a 30-6 lead after the first quarter and held a 65-11 halftime advantage.
The Class C Warriors then outscored Class D Washburn 30-0 in the third quarter and 13-5 over the game’s final eight minutes.
