Girls’ Basketball: Edward Little triple trouble for Lewiston
LEWISTON — On paper, Saturday night at least harbored the potential for the most competitive Edward Little-Lewiston girls’ basketball game in years. And in many ways, it was. Of course, on paper, nobody scribbled down the idea of Tianna Harriman and Kory Norcross combining for eight 3-pointers in the first half. Most of those shots […]
