            This past week Bridgton Academy Basketball played three games. The first game was Wednesday night at Lee Academy, and the Wolverines came out playing great defense and offense. Rayon Miller (Brampton, ON) gave the Wolverines thirty-three points and Zach Lydon (Elizaville, NY) with twenty. The game was back and forth, but it all came down to the final seconds when Lydon mad a big free-throw to give BA the win 75-74. The second game was on Saturday against Northfield-Mt. Hermon. Although BA started the game slow and was down eight nothing to start the game, the Wolverines would not give up, and found themselves down only six points at the half. Unfortunately, Northfield came out on fire the second half to put BA away with a final score of 78-53. The third game of the week was on Sunday against Putnam Science School. The Wolverines gave everything they had, but it was just not enough to match the talented Putnam team and ended up losing 85-53. BA has their last home game this year on Wednesday against Brewster Academy at 6:00 P.M. Thank you for all the support of our basketball team this year.

This past week Bridgton Academy Basketball played three games in four days. The first game was Thursday night at New Hampton School, and the Wolverines came out playing great defense and moving the ball well on offense. Unfortunately, the Wolverines would end up coming short against NHS 73-56. The second game was on Saturday against Jean De Brebeuf, a school from Montreal, Canada. It was a great game with two evenly matched teams. The back and forth contest saw both teams trading baskets, ultimately coming down to the wire that ended in a 68-64 loss for BA. Tanner Hyland (South Portland, ME) led the team in scoring with 23 points and 5 assists. Luckily enough for BA, they had a game the next day against a very good Marianapolis School. The Wolverines came out ready to battle, giving it everything they had for forty minutes. BA hit their first four three-pointers to start the game and was playing great team basketball on both ends of the floor. BA would ultimately come out ahead 74-63 and end their losing streak.
