The Boothbay Region High School girls basketball team was honored July 28 for its good sportsmanship during the 2017-18 season. The team received the Brooke-Haskell Award from the local chapter of the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials.
The Central Maine basketball officials board has over 100 members in five Maine counties and serves 30 high schools. The board honors one girls and one boys team each season for displaying exceptional sportsmanship.
Board 20 Executive Council member Dave Parkhurst of Boothbay and referees Charlie Ault and Celia Philbrick presented the Seahawk girls with a plaque during the Lobster Jam schoolgirl basketball tournament.
The award is named in honor of two longtime basketball officials: Bud Brooke and Dick Haskell. Besides officiating, Brooke was an educator at Kents Hills and Haskell coached the University of Maine at Augusta men’s basketball team for many years.
