PHOENIX FACE BEST MVC HAS TO OFFER
Beating fellow unbeaten Spruce Mountain, 47-44, was a holiday treat for the Boothbay Seahawks Monday, Dec. 23. But for the Phoenix, losing was like watching Scrooge step into The Nest and suddenly steal their thunder.
Spruce coach Scott Bessey had to give the Seahawks credit for pulling off this caper.
“They are great,” Bessey said. “We predicted them to be the No. 1 team in the conference. They’ve got height; they have experience. They are tough. They have perimeter shooting. They are a good team.”
Whatever leftover frustration the Phoenix had after Christmas they took out by scoring 111 points in Saturday’s win over Wiscasset. They get another break through the New Year holiday before starting a two-week homestand against Mt. Abram on Friday.
Lilly Platt and Averi Baker each added seven points for Hall-Dale (3-5).
Mariyah Fournier led Spruce Mountain (2-6) with 12 points, while Jaycee Cole added 11 points.
