Millbrook scores victory over Dover

MILLBROOK — An excited crowd can turn a good basketball game to a great one.

Millbrook’s matchup against Dover Plains at the Millbrook High School Saturday morning, Feb. 15, was one such game.

The competitive matchup saw the Blazers and the Dragons battling out for the lead until the very final minutes, when some choice Millbrook plays pushed the Blazers to a 42-34 win over Dover Plains.

The Millbrook win was not certain until the final quarter. Dover’s squad mounted good offenses in the first half, managing to come into halftime leading 18-15 over Millbrook.

But the Blazers came back from halftime energized and inspired, and they took that energy to the rim.

By the fourth quarter, Millbrook had more than doubled their score, but Dover was trailing close behind until a couple of made three-pointers pushed Millbrook’s score just out of reach.

With just 90 seconds left on the clock, Dover resorted to forcing fouls to extend playtime and try to win more opportunities for baskets. Millbrook’s success at the free-throw line, however, thwarted this strategy and only pushed Millbrook’s lead further and further up.

SALISBURY — The Twin Lakes Association is taking an earlier and more aggressive approach to fighting the spread of invasive hydrilla in East Twin Lake by dosing the whole northeast bay, from May through October, with low-level herbicide treatments instead of spot treatments.

The goal, said Russ Conklin, the TLA’s vice president of lake management, is to sustain herbicide concentration over the 2025 growing season.
