Bangor Christian Sets Schoolboy History
The Bangor Christian HS Patriots "drive for five" is complete. In a grueling state final versus Richmond, the Patriots finally won on penalty kicks and win 2-1. Make it five consecutive Class D state titles for Bangor Christian - that has never been done in schoolboy history in Maine.
It's the third time on the 5-year run that the Patriots have knocked off Richmond for the title. This time, the game was tied at halftime, at the end of regulation, at the end of OT, at the end of 2OT...finally, the win came on the penalty kick tie-breaker.
