The Mariners rode a 25-5 wave at the end of the first half through the first 5:15 of the third quarter to take a 20-point lead (49-29) and the Beavers never got closer than nine from then on.
thank you for posting I had sent an email earlier and a few mins after I sent that the game was posted. So you do work long hours during the tournament. Again thanks. I knew the Bangor radio Station was doing the Bangor game and the WDEA station out of Ellsworth didn’t choose to do county wide teams in the tournament so YOU, the BDN are my source. Thanks I live in Az now and grew up on Deer Isle. Dave
