SPORTS  Hunt A Team Pulling off Another Win Over Williston  By: Conor O'Brien January 22nd 2014 8:36 PM 



         All of these pictures you are looking at are from the Hunt vs Williston basketball game. This was a hard faught battle from the both sides but Williston could just not hold Conor, Bryan and Ryan from scoring. The final score was 40-21. Casey Stouffer had a great game with 8 points and 17 rebounds. The scoring leader was Conor O'Brien with 12 of Hunts 40 points.

There was plenty of bench help from Philip and Evan and our assistant coach Kevin.

In the locker room after the game head coach Paul Messier said we should have beaten them by 100 points but I am pleased by the way you played.

Coach Messier is a hard person to satisfy. "Everyone was happy about the game and how they played and no one was upset'' said assistant coach Kevin Garrison.

When we did lose I can tell you that the locker room was not the place where you wanted to be  said Conor at the press conference.

This team is playing great and is looking at wining the City Championship that is going to be played on February 15th and it will be a good game between the two best teams around. 

Kevin Garrison was Hunts star player until about 1 month ago when he was playing in a game and had the idea to try to dunk the ball. We were up by forty and he was on a fast break when he jumped up to throw it down.

When he was coming down he held onto the rim too long and his body went from horizontal to vertical. He came down hard and landed on his wrist and right away we knew it was broken. His arm looked like there was a hole in it.

The up side to the situation was that he did dunk the ball, if he had missed the dunk it would have been even worse.

The team has lost two games so far against Browns River and Colchester. There record dropped from a 4-0 to a 6-2 quick without that extra help. It was hard for them to play without Kevin being in the games and it took a little while to get used to but they have won a couple in a row and are heading back on track for a great rest of the season.

The next game for the Hunt Panthers is on January 23rd at Essex middle. Hope to see you there.   <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #616161; display: block; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #616161; display: block; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px;">
