Summer Ross scored 24 points leading Mt. Abram to a 52-17 Mountain Valley Conference basketball win over Wiscasset Middle High School Monday night in Stover Auditorium.

The Roadrunners led from the opening tap, 11-7, 25-11 and 40-11 at the period breaks.

After spotting the visitors an 8-0 lead, Wolverine Alice Yokabaskas stole the ball, drove to the hoop and scored. On their next possession the Roadrunners turned the ball over and Kateleen Trask sunk a trifecta with 2:37 left in the period. Yokabaskas scored again making it an 8-7 ballgame.

Ross  hit a three-point basket in the closing seconds of the period.

Two minutes into the second period Sydnie Thayer swished a basket from just inside the three-point arc. That drew the Wolverines within a basket of tying the game, 11-9.

Mt Abram then scored eight unanswered points. Zoe Waltz’s basket ended the Roadrunner run but not before the visitors had pulled ahead 19-9.

The Roadrunners pressed Wiscasset aggressively for most of the third period putting 19 unanswered points on the scoreboard. The Wolverines’ offense was silent until 3:25 of the fourth period when Trask drove to the baseline and scored.

Yokabaskas finished with six points. Trask had five. Thayer picked up five steals and Yokabaskas recorded another four blocked shots to add to her season’s total.

Ross scored in every period for the Roadrunners finishing with three trifectas. She entered the game needing about 40 points to reach 1,000 in her high school career.

Wiscasset made two of 10 free throws; Mt. Abram was nine of 27.

Wiscasset will be in Richmond Wednesday, Jan. 16, to face the Bobcats and will host Telstar Friday night.
