When the Wiscasset High School boys varsity basketball was matched up against the number-one seeded Dirigo Cougars, it faced a literal tall task.
While Dirigo would go on to win the February 17 match-up in Augusta, in the end it was the Wolverines who put on a show of grit and hustle.
For that, the Wolverines have been noticed.
The Wolverines were tied for second place during the tournament for the sportsmanship awards by the Maine Principals Association.
The Wolverines scored a 26.4 to tie with Hall-Dale High School and Waynflete Academy for second in Western Class C; Boothbay Region High School was first with a score of 27.3.
Wiscasset earned praise for not having any acts of unnecessary roughness or taunting opposing players. The Wolverines also scored high marks for how players interacted with their own teammates.
The teams were rated by how players treated their opponents, their teammates, coaches and officials, as well as how coaches treated officials.
