This was only the first game, but the prospects looked good for the rest of the season. Stern- berg was high man, with 6 points, fol- lowed by McDonald and Clark with 5 points each. The second out of town game was played with Lubec, one of the county favorites. Machias' 22-9 lead at the half was too much for the local boys to overcome. The Bulldogs pulled the first upset by a 29-27 margin. Stern- berg was high scorer with 14 points, followed by Cole with 7 points. Our first home game was a triumph long to be remembered in Machias. Sternberg rang the bell for 31 points. The superb passing of the Bulldogs, which allowed their captain to shoot inside the foul circle, was too much for the Red Raiders. The score: Machias 51, Washington Academy 21.
