Riley Robinson scored 39 points to lead the undefeated Dirigo Cougars past the Wiscasset Wolverines, 58-52, in Monday night boys varsity high school basketball.

It was a battle of the two top teams in Class C South basketball and two top individual talents, as Robinson and Wiscasset's Ethan James did not disappoint. James would finish with 30 points behind a nice inside-out game, but it was Dirigo's strong fourth quarter and Robinson's ability to hit shots, find teammates and draw contact that would decide the contest.

Robinson would go to the line 22 times in the game (13-22) where Wiscasset would only have eight trips total as a team. Wiscasset led Dirigo (9-0, first in Class C South) at the end of every quarter, including 43-42 headed into the final frame.

Kevin Lynch added 10 points for Wiscasset (8-2, second in Class C South), who will head to Carrabec for a 7 p.m. contest Thursday, Jan. 7.  

In MVC girls high school varsity action Monday, Sabrina Daoud's 28 points led Dirigo to a 63-30 victory over Wiscasset.

Defense was the theme of the first half, as the first quarter ended knotted at 4.  The host Cougars held a narrow 14-11 advantage at the half, as Daoud would score all 10 of her team’s points in the quarter.

It was the third quarter where the game changed.  Dirigo (6-3, sixth in Class C South) would outscore Wiscasset 29-10 in the frame behind 12 points from Daoud and 10 points from forward Lauren Henderson (14 total). Alexa Varnum would chip in eight points toward the final tally.

Wiscasset (3-7, tenth in Class C South) was led by Hayhlee Craig with 10 points and Colleen Hendricks with seven.

Next up, Wiscasset hosts Carrabec (5-4, fifth in Class C South) at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 7.
