8th-grade boys wrap up season

Noah Heidorn, Nick Allen and Dawson Hebert tallied six points apiece, while Seth Beidelman and Bailey Griffeth both played well in the victory.
Judd scored 20 points and Josiah Krul had 16, but Caribou fell to Houlton on Dec. 13, 52-43. Zach Wright and Matt Nadeau had solid defensive efforts for the Vikings.
Caribou downed Presque Isle on Dec. 18, 47-30, to end its campaign. The Vikings’ pressure defense was too much for the Wildcats to handle. Krul scored 16 points, while Nick Allen had 11 and Judd 10.
