The Wiscasset Wolverines erased a 12-point, fourth quarter deficit on the road to beat the Seahawks, 53-46, Monday night in a matchup of two top-seeded Class C South schools.

Wiscasset’s Ethan James did everything he could to keep his team within striking distance heading into the fourth against a tough Boothbay team. Boothbay held a 46-34 advantage after three, but they couldn’t contain James, who would have 21 of his team’s 34 and finish the game with 26 points, including three three-pointers. However, it was the contribution off the bench by junior forward Kevin Lynch that would be the difference. Lynch would finish with 10 points, all in the fourth, including a seven for eight performance from the free throw line that would propel Wiscasset to a 19-0 fourth quarter.

Boothbay (10-5, fifth in Class C South) would outscore Wiscasset (11-4, fourth in Class C South) in each of the first three quarters. Great ball movement in the half court set led to open looks that created a balanced scoring attack and kept the Wiscasset’s zone defense on the move. Abel Bryer paced the team with 12 points and Jacob Leonard added 11.

Wiscasset’s switch to man defense, Boothbay’s foul trouble and the emergence of Lynch changed the game in the final quarter. Brandon Sprague would add 12 points in the win.

Wiscasset hosts St. Dom’s (0-14, 18th in Class C South) Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

Boothbay (14-1, 1st in Class C South) would use a suffocating full court press to harass Wiscasset (3-12, 17th in Class C South) in the first half, establishing a 30-1 halftime advantage, mostly in transition off of turnovers.

Colleen Hendricks and Sydnie Thayer would lead Wiscasset with four points apiece.

Up next, Wiscasset hosts St. Dom’s (6-8, 11th in Class C South) Thursday at 7 p.m.
