Our boys came back from a 6-point deficit at half-time to tie the game in the fourth period, but Orono was resilient and patient to take the lead at the end of the contest. Holbrook was led in scoring by AJ Josiah with 10 points and Matthew Perkins with 6 points. Henry Osbourne and Jaxson Grass showed great hustle and tenacity throughout the game causing disruption for Orono during our full court pressure. The Holbrook boys work hard and continue to show improvement. GREAT WORK BOYS!!!
Chess: Last night, the Holbrook Chess Team took down Orono in a nail biter 33-27. Lukas Millett and Sebastian Pagnozzi lead the way in scoring, while Mackenzie Reardon and Alexander McDonald put in strong performances to secure the victory. It was a total team effort. Next practice is Monday.
