12/12- Dexter/Schenck and Central/George Stevens highlight the boys basketball action

December 12, 2019

The first Thursday of the high school basketball season will be highlighted by two boys basketball games.

Schenck (1-0) was picked as the favorite in class D Eastern Maine Sports preseason predictions, while Dexter (2-0) was picked as the class C favorite.

Schenck will play host to the Tigers tonight at 7 PM. The Wolverines are led by Tyrone Davis, and Kaden Hannan. Davis and Hannan combined to record 30 points and 15 rebounds in a season opening win over PCHS. Dexter is led by one of the best point guards in the state Nate Richards. The Tigers are deep, coach Peter Murray can go 10 deep without losing anything.

Another key game will be a class C clash as Central will travel to George Stevens. The Maine Basketball index has this as the game of the day. Central (2-0) is led by a strong core of Simon Allen, Alex Hewitt, Bryce Burns, and Scotty Ferrie. Allen scored 27 points in a Red Devils win over Mattanawcook on Monday night. George Stevens (2-0) is led by Caden Mattson and exchange student Miloš Šujica.

Other key games include cross class games- Calais at Jonesport-Beals, Deer Isle-Stonington at Sumner, GHCA at Woodland, and Bangor Christian at PVHS. For the full boys basketball schedule click here.
