MDI and Ellsworth Girls Basketball Teams Combine for a Magical Moment on Senior Night [VIDEO]

Two of the biggest rivals, MDI and Ellsworth combined to create a magical moment on Senior Night at Ellsworth High School on Tuesday, February 4th.

If you've been following the Ellsworth Girl's Basketball Team you know that they have been decimated by injuries this season. Seniors Abby Radel and Elise Sargent have been lost for the season. Seniors Addison Atherton and Lily Bean missed sizeable portions of the season to injury. Junior Elizabeth Boles has missed the majority of the second half of the season. Not once did these 5 players, the planned starters, take the court together in the regular season...Until the final game of the season.

Athletic Directors Josh Frost (Ellsworth) and Bunky Dow (MDI) along with coaches Andy Pooler (Ellsworth) and Brent Barker (MDI) combined to create the magical moment.

First, Radel, Sargent, Atherton, Bean and Boles were announced as starters. After the national anthem Atherton won the uncontested tip-off, with the ball going to Lily Bean who then passed it to Abby Radel, who passed it to Lizzy Boles who in turn passed it to Elise Sargent, who threw it to Coach Pooler out of bounds.

Check out the video of the introductions and the tip-off.

Congratulations to both teams on creating this magical moment!
