Tigers TA In Head On Confrontation At Linnell Gym
Biddeford renews a neighborhood feud with Thornton Academy at Linnell Gym in Saco as part of a heavy basketball slate. Other area games include Kennebunk versus Noble, Marshwood at Massabesh, York at Old Orchard Beach, and Wells at Kittery against Train Academy. The Biddeford Thornton clash repeats a rivalry from last season with buzzer beaters deciding both games. The Tigers rely on a taller front line to counter Thornton’s deliberate, zone-based defense. Thornton hopes to slow Biddeford with tight defense and a solid night from Fogg Brunelle and Hadiaks. Kennebunk, ranked fifth in Class B, aims to stay clear of Noble, who has two wins in seven starts, after a disappointing Wells Classic. Massabesh and Marshwood face a tossup, with the Mustangs having faced Kennebunk in Wells. Old Orchard Beach challenges York, which owns the season’s lone Wells win. The Seagulls seek a tournament berth by beating higher-placed teams as Wells visits Kittery, the Swett Memorial Gym a tough venue for visitors.
