Red Eddies rally in second half to top Panthers

WALDOBORO — The Medomak Valley boys basketball team is back on the court to battle foes from across the state in preseason affairs, with the Panthers’ most recent game being a home clash with Edward Little of Auburn.

The Panthers built a solid first-half lead on the Red Eddies, but the visitors made just enough plays down the stretch to pull out a 47-43 win on Wednesday night, Dec. 1.
