“But every game is like that,” he said. “It’s fun.” Few games are quite like this one, however. What it lacked in artistry, it more than made up for with tournament-like intensity and a fittingly frantic finish. “Well, what did you expect?” Lewiston coach Tim Farrar said.

Girls’ Basketball: Edward Little triple trouble for Lewiston
LEWISTON — On paper, Saturday night at least harbored the potential for the most competitive Edward Little-Lewiston girls’ basketball game in years. And in many ways, it was.

Girls’ basketball: Falcons topple Knights
FREEPORT — Western Maine Conference opponents know to have success against Freeport, they must contain Falcons forward Nina Davenport.
