Wednesday night was a special night for Wiscasset high school basketball. Despite the team’s loss in a down to the wire 55-49 game, senior star Ethan James achieved something only two other people have done at Wiscasset; score 1,000 points in his career.
The others on record are Laurie Smith in 1986 and Conrad Griffin in 2005.
James achieved this at the start of the second quarter off of a layup. Once he scored it, there was a timeout called and he was applauded for his memorable achievement. Unfortunately, the team did not take the game, but it was very close.
When asked how it felt to score 1,000 points and if he set it as a goal for the game, James said: “It’s pretty crazy to accomplish this goal, I’ve always wanted to get this and for it to be real now is crazy! And yes, coach (Dana Lawrence) told me that it was going to happen tonight one way or another so we had hopes that I would get it. Happened a lot faster than I thought!”
For Lisbon, Jonah Sautter led with 26 points, including four three-pointers and a free throw to make it a two-possession game at the end. Henry Doyle was behind him with 12 points, and Tyrese Joseph followed him with seven.
On the Wiscasset side, James led with 30 points, including 19 in the first half. Other contributors included Cody Roberts with seven, Zach Reed with six, Logan Orr with three, Kevin Lynch with two and Russell Marr with one.
Along with the 30 points, James also had 12 rebounds. Marr had six rebounds and six assists. As a result of Wednesday’s game, Lisbon improved to 8-7 while Wiscasset fell to 9-6. The boys’ next game is Friday, Jan. 27 at home against Mount Abram at 7 p.m.
