Sports Memories Of The Past Year By Dick Charles
The year brought thrills and heartbreak across local teams. Thornton and Biddeford produced dramatic basketball wins and a tense 57-56 finish, while St Francis and the Red Knights had late anxious moments. Biddeford fought to reach Western Maine, Thornton girls fell in the title, and Biddeford wrestling and baseball showed flashes of strength amid colds and injuries. Football recovered to a 500 season with an upset, as Biddeford shifted from six straight wins to a 9-0 loss to South Portland. Cross country just missed state meet qualification by a point as the new year brings renewed hope for an improved season.
