Despite trailing for the first 24 minutes and 54 seconds of the Friday, Dec. 20 game against Wiscasset, the Winthrop Ramblers boys varsity basketball team proved the old adage true: it's not over until it's over.

The Ramblers (4-2) were able to rally in the fourth quarter to upset the Wiscasset Wolverines, 55-52, in a game that saw just one lead change.

The Wolverines (3-2) were able to jump out to an early and ended the first quarter up 13-7. The second quarter saw Wiscasset pad its lead to a 23-17 advantage.

In the third quarter, things shifted, however. Winthrop's Matt Sebrok scored seven of his 15 points and Jake Hickey scored seven of 13 points in the third to trim Wiscasset's lead to 41-38 after three full quarters.

It was Hickey's next two points that changed the course of the game.

In the first seven seconds of the fourth quarter, Wiscasset was called for a technical foul after some shoving and Hickey buried both of his free throws the get the game within one point.

With seven minutes and six seconds to go Hickey nailed a long jump shot to give Winthrop a 42-41 advantage, its first of the night.

But Wiscasset wouldn't be without its own heroes. Junior Travis Padilla launched a three-pointer from NBA range to tie the game at 52 with less than a minute to go and nearly tied the game at the end with another long three but Winthrop was able to hold on.

Matt Craig lead the way for the Wolverines with 13 points while Padilla added 10 of his own. Chandler Longfellow netted eight points and Ethan James had six.

The Wolverines will next play December 30 at Mountain Valley.
