BLUE HILL—Six points short of the magic number after a close 73-66 win at Lee Academy last night, George Stevens Academy junior Taylor Schildroth quickly took care of business, sinking two three-point shots against Penquis before the clock had ticked down one minute of play.

Deer Isle—The Deer Isle-Stonington girls basketball team easily beat Machias 44-14 on January 19.
