The visiting Madison Bulldogs scored five points in the final minute to beat Wiscasset, 55-54, in a dramatic, come-from-behind win Monday night in high school boys basketball.

Wiscasset (12-5, 8th in Class C South) rode the offense of Ethan James in this one. James scored 12 of his game high 29 in the first quarter, as the Wolverines jumped out to a 16-7 lead after one quarter. The Wolverines held this lead until the final minute of the game, as the two teams played to a 14-14 draw in the second quarter, and Wiscasset still leading 30-21 at halftime. Madison’s Chase Malloy scored nine of his team-high 13 in the frame.

Madison (14-3, 3rd Class C South) came out of the break with full court pressure, outscoring Wiscasset 14-13 in the frame to cut the lead to 43-35 heading into the final quarter. The Wolverines extended the lead to 11 on a made Cody Roberts three-pointer with six minutes to play.

Madison got points from all of its starters leading up to the final minute and a late lay up by Chris Beaman (corrected from earlier post) to take the lead. Wiscasset had two opportunities to answer but two turnovers sealed the deal. For Madison, Devon Watt had 11 and Chris Beaman had 10. For Wiscasset, Roberts and Brandon Sprague each added eight.
