WESTBROOK – Deering dropped in on Gorham on Friday evening, Dec. 30, emerging triumphant on both the boys’ and girls’ sides of the action. Jasper Sommer, Nicole Whipkey and others spearheaded the team’s efforts, pushing Deering to a 176 combined score – substantially out front of Gorham’s 114.

The Deering girls outpaced their hostesses 95-74, while the Deering boys more than doubled their opponents’ score, 81-40. It’s worth noting, though, that the Gorham boys comprise a strikingly short roster this season – just four names, all told.
