The Panthers rallied to turn a close basketball game against Mt. View into a 74-43 romp on Thursday, Dec. 21 in Waldoboro.
Mt. View trailed just 27-23 late in the second quarter before Medomak Valley (3-1) outmuscled and outshot the Mustangs (2-1) to earn a lopsided win.
Kory Donlin broke the Mustangs by scoring 25 points, including 16 in the first half that boosted the Panthers to a 33-23 advantage at the halftime break. It was a physical game that favored the size and strength of the Panthers who bounced back from a loss to Oceanside earlier in the week.
Mt. View coach Brandon Hurd was ejected early in the fourth quarter and was assessed four technical fouls for arguing calls, which the Panthers took advantage of to extend their lead.
In addition to pouring in 25 points, Donlin earned a double-double by pulling down 14 rebounds. He also had a pair of steals. Gabe Lash had a strong game for the Panthers with 15 points, six rebounds, and three assists.
Also scoring for Medomak Valley were Kristian Schumann with 11 (2R), Luke Cheesman 8 (2R), Carrick Lally 6 (1R), Vishal Mellor 5 (1R), Mason Nguyen 3 (2A, 1S, 1R), and Jack Martin 2. Owen Dostie had one rebound.
Ben Osborne had 13 points, Wyatt Evensen had 9, and Noah Hurd 8 to lead the Mustangs.
