Western C quarterfinals: Wilbur’s three-party leads Maranacook past Winthrop
AUGUSTA — Taylor Wilbur spent Monday morning virtually alone in the Maranacook Community High School gymnasium working on his shooting for the Black Bears’ Western Class C quarterfinal against Winthrop that night.

There’s no objective way to measure it, of course, but I humbly submit that we just experienced the best opening weekend of a Maine high school basketball tournament in at least a decade. Overtime games. Multiple-overtime games. Drama. Controversy. Upsets. The christening of a new regional site. The two inches of snow that held us […]
