Hall-Dale High School relied on its outside shooting game netting 10 three-point baskets and winning, 58-15, over host Wiscasset Middle High School Monday afternoon in Stover Auditorium.
K.K. Wills hit three of her team’s trifectas in the first half. The Bulldogs outscored the Wolverines 15-5 and 19-2 in the first two periods and headed into the locker room with a 34-9 halftime lead.
After the visitors took a 5-0 lead in the game’s opening minutes, Kateleen Trask banked in a three-pointer for Wiscasset. Minutes later, Zoe Waltz’s fast break basket made the score 8-5. A field goal by Trask with 3:30 left in the first period made it a two-point game, 9-7. But that was as close as the Wolverines would get. Back-to-back threes by Averi Baker and Wills staked the hot-shooting Bulldogs to an eight-point lead when the buzzer sounded ending the period.
The Wolverine offense struggled the remainder of the game. Waltz netted the only points for WMHS in the second period, a layup on a pass from Brianna Colson-Orr with 90 seconds left until the half. On the defensive side, Kylie Peoples blocked a Bulldog shot in the closing seconds and Madison Carrier grabbed three rebounds at Hall-Dale’s end of the court.
The Wolverines took plenty of shots in the third period but failed to put any points on the scoreboard. Midway into the period, Kayla Lee swished a three, the Bulldogs’ 10th of the game, putting her team up 46-9. Colson-Orr hit a pair of threes for the Wolverines in the fourth period. The first, a rainbow from well behind the arc, was on her team’s first possession. Her second three came with 58 ticks left in the game and was only the Wolverines’ second basket of the half.
Olson-Orr finished with six points for Wiscasset. Trask had five, Waltz four. Waltz also had five rebounds. Emily Richardson had four rebounds and two assists. Hall-Dale’s Wills led all scores with 14 points. Rita Benoit finished with 12 points, all in the second half.
The Wolverines will travel to Mt. Abram Wednesday and host Telstar High School Friday night, Jan. 24.
