PORTLAND, Maine — The Caribou boys had extra time to think about their Class B championship game on Saturday, with the Viking girls needing the court a little longer for their overtime miracle win over Biddeford in the previous game at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland.
The boys followed suit with a win of their own. But with much less drama.
Caribou ran away from the York Wildcats in the second half, earning a 65-44 win and bringing home yet another Class B championship for the Aroostook County city.
Junior forward Landen Belanger, a member of the Bangor Daily News’ all-tournament team, put up a game-high 16 points for Caribou.
The second half made all the difference for the Vikings, who went into the break up only four points. But they built on that 26-22 lead throughout the second half, outscoring the Wildcats 19-7 in the third quarter alone.
That second half push helped the top-ranked Class B North team cruise to another state title. The Caribou boys won back-to-back championships in 2019 and 2020.
