The Cheverus Stags edged the Gardiner Tigers, 52-49, in the championship game of the two-day, 16-team, 27-game Lobster Jam girls basketball tournament held in Boothbay Harbor July 24 and 25.

The championship game saw the Stags hang on to win in the final minute as Gardiner missed some free throws down the stretch. Cheverus held a nine point lead in the first half but Gardiner clawed back into the game in the second half and led in the fourth quarter. But tough full-court defense by Cheverus forced turnovers and propelled them to victory.

The host Boothbay squad lost a close game to Foxcroft Academy, easily defeated Camden Hills and was defeated by Mt. Blue.

Lincoln Academy easily defeated St. Dom's and lost to Mountain Valley.

Winning the skills competition was Mary Toman of Gardiner, who finished the course in 24.99 seconds, a Lobster Jam record.

BRHS Coach Tanner Grover wished to thank the volunteers, referees, coaches, players and fans for making the fifth annual tournament a success.
