Neither Caribou nor Presque Isle have to worry about making the playoffs. The Vikings are currently No. 2 in Eastern Maine Class B. The Wildcats are No. 3.
In Class D Washburn is No. 1 by a large margin over Penobscot Valley. Fort Fairfield is No. 4, with Easton and Central Aroostook seventh and eighth. Ashland and LCS/MSSM are No. 14 and No. 16 respectively.
Resuls of the games through Monday, Oct. 10 include:
Hermon 1, Caribou 0 — The marquis game of the weekend was in Caribou as Hermon, which is No. 1 in Class B girls, took on the Vikings, which holds onto the No. 2 spot in the Heal Point standings.
This was a defensive struggle all afternoon. Hermon managed the only goal of the game in the first half to win 1-0.
Neither team managed a lot of shots on goal and the Hawks were content to keep four defenders back after scoring the one goal. Caribou managed a few runs in the final minutes, but none resulted in a quality scoring opportunity.
Presque Isle 1, Old Town 0 — The Presque Isle Wildcats made the trip down I-95 on Saturday to take on the always tough Old Town Coyotes.
Kayla Richards scored the game’s only goal with 12:15 remaining as Presque Isle topped Old Town. Meredith Stewart made seven saves on eight shots for the 7-1-1 Wildcats.
PI coach Ralph Michaud said he knew it would be difficult game. Old Town had tied Hermon, which is No. 1 in Class B, and Orono recently.
“It was a great team win for us,” said Michaud. “Everyone contributed.”
Fort Kent 4, Fort Fairfield 0 — At Fort Fairfield Saturday, Fort Kent received goals from Alexis Desjardins, Sam Carapellucci, Roxi Pelletier and Kendra Raymond en route to its eighth win against three losses. Erin Chasse and Lindsay Soucy had assists and Alexa Pelletier made one save.
