As soon as the kids returned from February break, grades 3 through 6 were back in the gym, getting ready for the final chapter of Downeast basketball, Pee Wee season. 

Most of the teams in the county are made up of kids in grades 4 through 6. A few of the larger schools offer both a combined grades 5 and 6 team and a combined grades 3 and 4 team. Some of the smaller schools have to dip down to grade 3 to have enough kids to make up a team.
