A look back on Wiscasset Sports
While 2013 is over, the 2014 sports season is kicking off in earnest.
But, before the Wiscasset Wolverines take on Western Class C foes and the new year, here's a look back to see how the 2013-14 school yeah started off.
Fall
Senior Chandler Longfellow highlighted what could be called a season for the ages in Wiscasset.
Longfellow placed second in the Class C boys golf championships in October at Arrowhead Golf Course.
Longfellow finished at four over par during the championship to split honors with Winthrop's Adam Hachey and come in five strokes behind the Class C champ, Fort Fairfield's Robbie Watson, who shot a 71.
On the soccer field both the boys and girls teams qualified for the Western Class C playoffs.
Both teams also carried regular season success into the playoffs.
The girls team won 11 games in the regular season and knocked Lisbon out of the playoffs. The defending Class C champs Waynflete was able to knock off Wiscasset in an instant classic that required a shootout to be settled.
Seniors Sarah Hanley and Briana Goud were picked for the 2013 Western Class C all conference first team at the end of the season. Goud and Hanley were named to the all-academic team, along with teammate Michaela Trudeau.
Hannah Foye was selected to the Western Class C all conference second team and Kasey Cromwell and Miranda McIntire received honorable mentions.
The boys team also won its opening round in the playoffs, defeating Carrabec. The Wolverines would eventually fall to Maranacook to end a nine-win regular season.
The boys squad had several players earn acknowledgments from around the league. Jennings Souza was named to the Western Class C all-conference first team, Brycson Grover made the second team and Mason Whitaker and Kevin Lynch were both honorable mentions.
The Wiscasset cross country team also had a number of highlights in the fall.
Amanda Marcus, Gabrielle Ericson-Wenners, David Pearson and Ridge Barnes sported Wolverine Red for the all-conference team while David Marcus was named to the all-academic team.
Winter
The swimming team will look to keep up its fast pace when it dives in again at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 17 at home. On January 24, Brunswick and Hyde come to town to go lane-for-lane with the Wolverines.
While the basketball season is still young, the boy varsity basketball team appears strong heading into the new year. The team has had solid seasons from the likes of established players like Matt Craig, Dale Peaslee, Candler Longfellow and Travis Padilla, while young players like Jennings Souza and Nate Mills have stepped in to play significant minutes.
On the girls side, the Wolverines were able to oust Winthrop for the first win of the season.
Briana Goud has been the rock in the center of Wiscasset's two-way game, and Kasey Cromwell, Kayla Gordon, Tylan Onorato and Gabrielle Chapman have been able to give the Wolverines different looks on offense.
