Senior guard Kayla Bess had 17 points to lead the visiting Madison Bulldogs past the Wiscasset Wolverines 72-22 Tuesday in girls high school basketball. Madison (11-6, 5th in Class C South) got out to a commanding 19-4 lead after one quarter, as their full court press was too much for Wiscasset to handle. Madison utilized its great depth to always keep fresh legs on the court, going 10 deep into their bench.

Seven different Madison players contributed to their first quarter total. They stretched this lead to 41-11 by the half. In the second half, Wiscasset (3-14) continued to increase its offense incrementally, scoring nine in the frame (compared to four in the first and seven in the second) and holding Madison to 16 points but still trailed 57-20 through three quarters.

In addition to Bess’s 17, Lauren Hay added 12, Sydney LeBlanc had nine and Taylor Wright scored eight. For Wiscasset, Maeve Blodgett led with eight points, Grace Webber seven, Ari Mills four and Colleen Hendricks with three.

Wiscasset closes out its regular season Wednesday night against Monmouth at home. The game starts at 5:30 p.m. Boys JV plays at 4 p.m, Boys varsity is at 7 p.m.
