RUMFORD — On a night when Mountain Valley’s 1,000-point scorer Rylee Sevigny and fellow senior Courtney Therrien were honored, a trio of juniors played starring roles for the Falcons in a rivalry win over Dirigo on Monday.
Emily Richard, Autumn Freeman and Alana Young each took turns standing out in the Mountain Valley girls basketball team’s 35-29 victory at Puiia Gymnasium.
“The three junior starters are some of the most genuine, wonderful people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and I couldn’t be more proud of all three of them than I am right now,” Mountain Valley coach Craig Milledge said. “A rivalry game, tough game, great opposing team — lots of talent over there, they’re well-coached — and our three juniors, when there was so much pressure on Rylee defensively, stepped up and did exactly what they know they could do.”
