Maranacook 27, Cape Elizabeth 25, halftime

Maranacook threatened to take command midway through the second period, opening a 25-16 lead with 3:45 remaining. But the Capers came back with a 9-2 run to end the fast-paced, entertaining first half.

A big reason for the comeback has been the defense of Shaine Burks of Cape Elizabeth, who has been guarding Ryan Martin in a man-to-man defense. Martin has 15 points at the half, but was frustrated in the second period when Burks failed to bite for moves and when that happened, Maranacook's offense stalled.

Cape Elizabeth was hurt by turnovers in the first period and Maranacook in the second. Neither team has shown a dominant inside game, although Ian Place of the Capers bulled his way inside several times. Burks and Place have six points each at the half for Cape Elizabeth.

And lest it be forgotten, Fort Kent and Presque Isle won Eastern Maine sportsmanship banners. Hope their players are enjoying the game after that drive.

The teams are warming up and the game is expected to start at about 9:15 at the Bangor Auditorium.
