Carrabec senior Liberty Chestnut scored 23 points to lead the Carrabec Cobras to a 41-25 victory over the host Wiscasset Wolverines in Thursday night high school girls varsity basketball.

Chestnut was dominant in the game, demonstrating a pure shooting stroke from anywhere outside, and the ability to drive the paint. Mickayla Willette would contribute six points to the Lady Cobras’ win. Wiscasset guard Gabby Chapman would lead her team in scoring with 11; Hayhlee Craig chipped in six.

Wiscasset played strong team defense throughout the contest, but a tough first quarter offensively would find them down 10-2 to finish the frame. They would match Carrabec in the second 7-7, to stay within eight points at the half, down 17-9.

Carrabec would ride Chestnut’s aggressive play to outscore the Wolverines 12-6 in the third. Chapman also showed grit, making some tough shots to keep her team in striking distance. But in the end, Wiscasset would never eat into the eight-point, first quarter Carrabec lead.

Next up: Wiscasset will host Lisbon Monday, Jan. 11, at 5:30pm.
