AUBURN — Edward Little outscored Brunswick 17-9 in the fourth quarter to pull out a 39-34 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference boys high school basketball victory on Friday.

Trent Anderson led the Dragons with 11 points, with Mitch Black finishing with seven. Ryan Black and Garrett Erb each had five rebounds.
Omar Haji-Hersi paced EL (9-5) with 12 points, while Quin Leary had 10.

The host Clippers improved to 12-2 with a Western Maine Conference victory over 2-12 Freeport on Friday.
“The first four minutes we were competing and trailed just 8-6, but Mitch (Loeman) picked up his third foul in the first quarter, all my fault, and had to come out and that hurt us,” said Freeport coach Matt Cook after his team was outscored 13-0 the remainder of the opening frame to fall behind 21-6.
Yarmouth, led by 30 points from Josh Britten, led 39-12 at the break and 57-20 through three quarters.
