Layla Facciano, far right, receives a congratulatory hug Sunday from Savannah Green after sinking a half-court shot during a halftime shoot-out at the Lewiston-Auburn Maples basketball game. Sarah Soltan, general manager of the Maples, left, also offers congratulatory words. The two girls play basketball at Edward Little High School in Auburn and attended the game with a summer basketball program. The half-court shot is notoriously difficult to make, but Facciano says she knew it was going in soon as it left her hands. For more coverage of the Maples, see the sports section.
