Wolverines hold off Greyhounds
Girls
The Lady Wolverines (2-1) came out on top, 45 to 43, of a very physical game with Lisbon (2-2) at home December 18, earning their second win of the season.
Lisbon led 9 to 11 after the first quarter and Wiscasset took a 22-17 lead at halftime. Wiscasset led by as much as five in the third quarter, but Lisbon applied pressure to Wiscasset and capitalized on their turnovers and was able to regain a brief lead.
With four seconds left to go in the game Wiscasset’s Brianna Goud fouled Lisbon’s Denise Thomas as she was driving to the basket, sending her to the line to shoot two and the opportunity to tie the game. Thomas missed both attempts and Wiscasset’s Miranda McIntire got rebound and time expired.
“Goud played an all around game for Wiscasset helping break Lisbon’s pressure and rebounding effectively,” said Coach Patrick Quinn. Goud also led Wiscasset in scoring with 14 points. Alecia Faulkingham had 13 points. Kasey Cromwell added 11 points, and had six steals.
Mia Durgan had 16 points for Lisbon and Denise Thomas added 15.
Wiscasset also won the junior varsity game in overtime 28-27.
Boys
The Wiscasset High School boys’ varsity basketball team improved to 3-1 with an easy 67 to 42 win over Lisbon at home on the same day.
Travis Padilla and Dale Peaslee each had 16 points to lead the Wolverines. Austin Haskell added 13.
