The Elm Street Panther junior high boys’ and girls’ basketball teams moved to 3-0 in the young season with strong wins over Rose M. Gaffney School of Machias and D.W. Merritt School of Addison last week. The back-to-back blowouts solidified the East Machias-based Panthers as one of the early favorites this season as Elm Street picked up victories on back-to-back nights.
