Fresh off an opening-round victory, the Wolverines are Augusta bound. Now that the where is known, that only leaves the who and when.
The Wiscasset High School boys varsity basketball team will tip-off at 8:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17 at the Augusta Civic Center against the Western Class C conference champion Dirigo Cougars.
The boys team is coming off a tightly-contested dual against the Old Orchard Beach Seagulls. The two teams battled, scraped, built-up leads and knocked them back down in what would be a 66-59 Wiscasset victory after all the dust had settled.
Junior Travis Padilla kept up his torrid pace with 23 points to lead the Wolverines (11-8 overall).
For Dirigo (17-1), the team beat a decimated Boothbay Region team to claim the top spot in the Conference. The Cougars had a first-round bye.
Dirigo has not lost since a 60-57 January 10 nail-biter against Hall-Dale. Wiscasset beat Hall-Dale in December by a score of 51-42.
