LINCOLNVILLE — The top seeded Vinalhaven boys basketball team took on south division champion Wiscasset Monday for the Busline League small school championship.
Vinalhaven got off to a slow start and that came back to haunt them as they out played Wiscasset in the second half, falling just short of a great comeback with Wiscasset taking the 52-50 win.
Wiscasset led 10-7 after the first quarter, 23-16 at the half and 39-33 after three full. Vinalhaven, trailing by six battled with all they had taking the last shot of the game that would have tied it up, it fell short and so did the Vikings dreams of the championship.
Wiscasset did a good job on the boards, and getting Vinalhaven's Joe Hopkins in foul trouble early in the fourth quarter made controlling the boards much easier without Hopkins on the floor.
Dylan Orr set the pace for Wiscasset with 18 points; Billy Pinkham added 17; Quinn Ranta seven; Noah Haggett six; and Josh Jones four. They were 7-of-14 (50 percent from the foul line and they knocked down three 3-pointers, two from Haggett and one from Orr.
The remaining members of the Wiscasset Busline League small school champions are, Kyle Ricker, Kyle St. Pierie, Joshua Dualan, Brian Foye, Brett Osmond, Dalton Roy and Kasey Mills.
For Vinalhaven, Tim Farrelly had a game high 20 points; Joe Hopkins 19; and Alec Radley. The Vikings were 2-of-6 (33 percent) from the foul line. They knocked down eight 3-pointers in the game. Three each from Hopkins and Radley and two from Farrelly.
The remaining members of the Vikings are MJ Augusto, Mike Michaud, Jack Day, Hunter Ames, Richard Marriner, Lincoln Dennison, Riley Anthony, Von Jones, Sam Wentworth, and Robbie Swears. The team is coached by Pete Farrelly.
With 0:23 seconds on the board Vinalhaven scored to make it 52-50 Wiscasset. The Vikings got the ball back with less than 10 seconds on the clock and did everything they could to get a good shot, but the defense from Wiscasset stood up and made the stop as time ran out and the season was over and Wiscasset was the new Busline champions.
