Bucksport tournament draws 16 teams; board highlights local economic benefits
Summary
The town-run basketball tournament hosted 16 teams (11 boys, five girls) with division winners from Yarmouth, Woodland and Machias; board members said visiting teams boost local hotels and restaurants and thanked volunteers and partners for supporting the event.
Recreation director Matt McGinnis told the board the basketball tournament hosted 16 teams — 11 boys teams and five girls teams — and that visiting squads praised the event and plan to return next year. "We had 16 total teams. We had 11 boys and 5 girls," McGinnis said while summarizing outcomes and thanking local volunteers and facility staff.
Winners named included Yarmouth (Division 1 boys), Woodland (Division 2 boys) and Machias (girls). Chair Mitch noted tournaments are an economic driver for Bucksport because visiting teams often stay in local lodging and patronize restaurants, and he thanked the RSU facilities team and local vendors for support.
