With a fresh coating of snow to blanket the region, the time is nigh to again think of shovels, hats, mittens, heating oil and basketball.

The Wiscasset Wolverines boys and girls basketball teams will soon head indoors and take to the court. The Saturday, Nov. 29 alumni game will mark the unofficial opener to the season, with the girls game starting at 5 p.m. and the boys games following at 6:30 p.m.
