Wiscasset falls to Boothbay
The Wolverines kept within striking distance for three quarters but the top-ranked Seahawks soared in the fourth quarter for a 67-43 win and eliminated eighth-seeded Wiscasset from the Western Maine Class C tournament in Augusta Monday night, Feb. 18. The young Wolverines finished the season with an overall record of 11-9.
Sophomore Dale Peaslee provided most of the first half offense for the Wolverines as the 6'0” forward scored 15 of Wiscasset's 20 points. He was scoring in a variety of ways – fastbreak layups, follow-up shots and drives to the lane – but the Seahawks led at the break, 30-20.
In the third quarter, Boothbay's senior point guard Anthony DiMauro went to work, scoring seven of his team-leading 19 points and keeping Boothbay in front by a dozen, 45-33.
The Wolverines' shooting went south in the fourth quarter (scoring only 10 points) while Boothbay picked up several second-chance points and fastbreak opportunities to put the game out of reach for Wiscasset. DiMauro's final basket of the night gave him 1,000 points in his career.
Peaslee led Wiscasset with 20 points, followed by Austin Haskell and Travis Padilla with seven points each.
