PARIS Oxford Hills senior Hayden Paine played the role of the Vikings’ inside man against 3-point shooting Gray-New Gloucester in a basketball finale on Saturday afternoon.
Paine turned in a stellar, team-high 19-point performance inside the key, helping Oxford Hills close out the Patriots with a 67-59 win and finish the season on a high note.
“We knew coming into the game that we had a size advantage to them,” Paine said. “We knew they were going to come out with a small lineup because they are a great 3-point shooting team.
