Deer Isle—The Mariner boys basketball team lost a one-sided game to Machias 65-29 on January 19. We played an inspired game when we saw them at home but that was not the case at Machias. They dominated us from the start and we never got any offensive flow going. The …

All athletes start out small, and the Junior Eagles, invited to George Stevens Academy on January 23 for a meet ’n greet with the varsity girls and boys basketball teams, are no exception. The recreational basketball program, headed by volunteer parents, helps young athletes have fun, enters them in the Ellsworth YMCA youth league, and perhaps even starts them on the path to being future Eagles.
Blue Hill—The Eagles varsity boys basketball team continued its roll through the Northern Class C competition with a 96-52 win over Sumner before a home crowd on Monday night. But it didn’t start out that way, as the 10th-ranked Sumner Tigers came out strong with accurate shot-making, quickly climbing to …
Deer Isle—The Deer Isle-Stonington girls basketball team easily beat Machias 44-14 on January 19.

It becomes more of a teaching …

Deer Isle—The boys basketball team collected a big win beating Searsport 54-46 on January 10. The first half was a very low scoring affair with the halftime score 16-12 in favor of us. Searsport seemed to use a game plan of jacking up 3-pointers, which surprised me. Lucky for us, …
