WALDOBORO – The Medomak Valley girls basketball team hosted No. 2 Oceanside in their last home game of the season.
The game started out being all Medomak Valley as the ladies took a 12-11 first quarter lead and had a 25-18 half time advantage. The second half was a different story as Oceanside outscored the Panthers 12-4 in the third quarter for a 30-29 lead heading into the final stanza where the Mariners again outscored the Panthers 19-3 for the win.
After leading at the half, Medomak Valley's Hannah Marks injured her foot and had to leave the game and was unable to return. When Marks went down the Panthers were up 25-20, but Oceanside went on a 10-4 run the rest of the quarter and 29-7 after the injury. With Marks down with an injury the Panthers were now without four players who were out with injury or sickness. Justice Barrows, Taylor Mason and Taylor Simmons were already out of the game and adding Marks to that list was all the Panthers could take.
With the win the Oceanside Mariners go to 15-2 on the season and currently sit in second place in Eastern Class B. The Medomak Valley girls fall to 5-12 and with the loss are eliminated from post season play. With one game left in the regular season it looks like Oceanside will host Nokomis in the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference championships played at Cony High School.
