Bulldogs nip Wiscasset
Usually, the Wiscasset High School girls varsity basketball team can count on one advantage: size.
With tall forwards Kayla Gordon (five-foot-nine), Briana Goud and Miranda McIntire (both listed at five-foot-eight) roaming the middle, the Wolverines can put up a wall around smaller opponents.
Unfortunately for the Wolverines, Hall-Dale's Allison Crockett was able to step over that wall.
The Wolverines fell, 37-30, Monday night, February 3 in a tightly contested battle that saw the Bulldog center, who is listed at six-foot-one, score 15 points to rally Hall-Dale.
Hall-Dale was able to jump out to an early lead, but Wiscasset (6-12) wasn't going quietly on a night that honored seniors Goud and Hannah Campbell.
After the first half, which saw Hall-Dale claw and grind to a 25-18 lead, the two teams were evenly matched; both scored five points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth. But, that early lead pushed Hall-Dale to its 11th win against seven losses.
Wiscasset's offense came from Goud and Gordon, who both had 10 points, and Alecia Faulkingham, who netted seven points. Freshman Gabby Chapman sunk an early three-pointer for her three points.
