Maine High School Sports: Stunning Upsets, Impressive Performances and Heartfelt Celebrations

This week has been packed with exciting moments in high school sports across the state, and sports reporters from the Sun Journal, Central Maine, and Press Herald were on hand to capture it all. From standout performances to dramatic comebacks, these reporters have shared some of the best highlights and post-game interviews with readers.

One of the most impressive performances of the week came from Maranacook freshman pitcher Grady Hebren. In a 4-2 win over Mount View, Hebren pitched a complete game with six strikeouts. The Black Bears have been having a successful season so far, surpassing last year’s win total.

Yarmouth senior Sam Lowenstein showed his passion for the game after leading his team to a 1-0 victory over Greely. Lowenstein’s hard-fought win was evident in his emotional reaction.

The St. Dominic softball team had a quick turnaround that led to a dramatic comeback victory over Mountain Valley. A seven-run fourth inning propelled them to success, and catcher Emily Andrews and pitcher Maddie Andrews reflected on the game afterward.

There was also a significant upset this week when the Cony baseball team snapped Monmouth Academy’s 21-game winning streak with a 15-8 victory. Trenton Hayward, who had a couple of hits in the game, described the win as a sweet victory for the team.
