Brandon Sprague put the Wiscasset Wolverines on his back, scoring 24 points and leading his team to a 69-61 victory over the Lisbon Greyhounds in Wednesday night boys high school varsity basketball.

A 6’1” senior forward, Sprague would score 14 of his team’s 16 second-quarter points, connecting on four of his game high, six three-pointers in the frame in helping his team to a 35-22 advantage at the break. With the victory, Wiscasset (9-3) would snap its three game losing streak.

Brycson Grover kept the offense channeling through Sprague, picking up six assists and hitting some key free throws at the end of the game to seal the victory. Ethan James would add 16 points. The Wolverines would also get quality contributions from Kevin Lynch (eight points) and Nate Woodman (eight points).

Wiscasset would need the 13-point lead from the first half to hold off the Greyhounds, who outscored the Wolverines 39-34 in the second half. Lisbon (6-6), behind Noah Carter (17 points), Tyrese Joseph (17) and Jonah Sautter (15), would do everything it could to get back in the game. Joseph would score 15 of his points in the second half and Sautter tallied 13, as Lisbon would cut it to just six with 25 seconds to play in a very physical fourth quarter. Grover’s poised free throws on a flagrant foul would secure the win for Wiscasset.
