Spring Sports

by Noah Hurd

The spring sports seasons for Baseball, Softball, and Track are underway. Last week it was conditioning week for Baseball and Softball. This week, Track is starting, and the Baseball and Softball teams are able to do more stuff besides pitching and conditioning only. Now, they are allowed to hit and do fieldwork. If you don’t play any of these sports yet, maybe you want to just go out and try it, but if you don’t like it, be sure you show your school spirit and come out and support the teams anyway!

Basketball Season Comes to a Close

by Noah Hurd

Ugh! Well, the Boys’ Basketball team fell just short of a state championship. They fought hard all season, and they brought the community together like never before. The support from this community was unbelievable. It meant a lot to the players and coaches to see this community come together and cheer the boys on, even though it wasn’t the season they hoped for. They have a lot to be proud of. What they accomplished, winning a Northern Maine Championship, which hasn’t been done here in 37 years. Playing in a state championship was unbelievable. We walked in and just saw nothing but green in the stands, and the crowd started cheering for us when there was still an hour to go before game time. 

With the spring season right around the corner, be sure you sign up. You can sign up on Mr. Wilcox’s door in the gym. If you don’t play a sport but want to, just go out and try it.

by Noah Hurd

The Mount View Boys basketball team is hot right now after winning the prelim game they headed to Bangor at the Civic Center they were the 7th seed going into the tournament. In their first game there, they played the 2nd seed Fort Kent in the quarterfinals. The Mustangs came out hot and won the game 78-44. Then they played the number 3 seeded Fort Fairfield in the semifinals, and the Mustangs came out slower in that game, but after the first quarter, they picked it up and got the win 66-40. They made it to the Northern Maine Championship; they are the second team in school history to ever make it this far, and they faced the number 1-seeded Calais. The Mustangs came out on fire and never looked back; they won 72-38. They will now face Monmouth Academy in the state championship game on Saturday at 8:45pm at the Augusta Civic Center. Be sure to show up and be loud and show support.
