The Boothbay Region Elementary School Wildcats girls team was defeated in the south division of the small school finals Feb. 8 by the Nobleboro Lions, 34-16, at Nobleboro Central School.

The Wildcats, who had a large turnout of players this season, played hard Feb. 8 and made many attempts at scoring, but most often the ball danced around the rim of the basket without falling through the net. 

Coach Allison Crocker’s 2022-2023 team consisted of captains and seventh graders Arabella Hodgdon, Moriah Smith and Adeline Barter; other seventh graders  Zuriel Smith, Eleanor Erwin, Lilly Brown, Jessica Raeburn and Nerla Laventure; sixth graders Xaviera “Xavi” Hall, Samantha Colby, Beatrice Wormwood; and fifth graders Meabh Hennessey, Ellie Morton, Blythe Miller, Samantha Doucette, Abby Locke Smith, Maddie Alley, Izzy Locke Smith, Savannah Alley and Pauline Nadeau-Miller.
