AUBURN — The Auburn-Lewiston YMCA third- and fourth-grade girls travel team finished the season undefeated, capturing the Western Maine Youth Basetball League championship. Losing Hope Fontaine and Abby Giroux but picking up Caisin Langley and Izzy Merrill, the team continued post-season play, entering multiple weekend tournaments, finishing with an overall record of 24-1.
The team was victorious in a round robin, as well as two tournaments in Brunswick and one at Boothbay, where they suffered their first loss but went on to take the trophy in the championship matchup.
At the final Brunswick Die-Hard tourney held March 22-23, the team won four games.
“We battled illness and injury, but everyone stepped up to get the job done,” said Coach Josh LaPrell. “I’m so proud of everyone’s improvement. They worked incredibly hard this year and really have the gains to show for it. They move the ball so well, pass to the open man and always play great defense. They have been a pleasure to coach.”
