On Friday, Jan. 5 many Gorham families enjoyed a fun night out at the Portland Expo, home of the Maine Celtics, the Boston Celtics G league affiliate team, for a night of basketball and school spirit. Families purchased tickets ahead of time on the school’s website. Gorham Youth Night was organized by the three elementary schools; Great Falls, Narragansett, and Village schools respectively. Students who attended were part of the Red Claws team high-five tunnel.

The event also coincided with the Maine Event Basketball weekend; a homecoming of the #1 High School player in the country taking on impressive teams at sold-out games at the Cross Arena on Friday evening and the Expo on the following evening; an exciting opportunity that brought a high level of competition and excitement to Maine. The Gorham Varsity boys and girls teams also played a doubleheader on Saturday, Jan. 6 in front of a packed crowd, with two big wins over Scarborough. It was a hoop weekend like no other.
