Old Town Mother-daughter Duo Relishing Last Basketball Season Together

The Old Town High School girls basketball team has exhibited a steady ascension since Hannah Richards began playing for her mother, Heather Richards, four years ago. The Coyotes didn’t qualify for the Class B North tournament her freshman year, but earned the No. 4 seed the following season and lost to defending state champ Winslow 36-29 in a quarterfinal at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. It was the first time Old Town had qualified for the postseason since 2014. The Coyotes went a step further last season, beating Houlton in the quarterfinals before losing to Hermon in the semifinals after beating the Hawks twice during the regular season. Old Town senior Hannah Richards looks for an open player during a game against Hermon on Jan.
