The Wolverine girls didn’t have an answer for Boothbay Region’s high-powered offense when the two Mountain Valley Conference basketball rivals met Wednesday night in Stover Auditorium. The Seahawks led from the opening tip-off soaring to a 65-22 victory and extending their unbeaten streak to seven. Wiscasset Middle High School’s MVC record fell to 0-7.
The Blethen sisters, Glory and Faith, provided all the points the visitors needed. Glory netted 21 points, 19 of them coming in the first half. Faith collected 13 points in the second half and finished with 19.
The Seahawks outscored Wiscasset in every period, 11-6, 24-6,15-2 and 15-8. Faith Blethen netted the game’s first basket on Boothbay’s third possession rebounding her own missed shot and scoring.
Kateleen Trask’s basket from inside the three-point line put the Wolverines on the scoreboard. Brianna Orr’s three-point basket in the closing seconds of the first period cut the Seahawks’ lead in half, 11-3.
Zoe Waltz and Sidney Thayer hit three-point baskets for the Wolverines in the second period. Waltz’s at the six-minute mark made the score 19-9.
But Glory Blethen had the hot hand scoring 14-second period points and staking the Seahawks to a 35-12 halftime lead. With 4:20 left in the third period Faith Blethen found Chloe Arsenault open underneath who scored opening up a 46-12 Seahawk lead. Maddy Carrier’s basket underneath for the Wolverines in the closing minutes ended a 15-0 Seahawk run. Boothbay was up 50-14 when the buzzer sounded signaling the start of the final period.
In the game’s closing minutes, Orr canned a nice jumper for the Wolverines and fellow freshman Carrier drove to the hoop for a pair of baskets. Orr led Wiscasset with seven points, Carrier had six and Trask five for WMHS. Thayer grabbed nine rebounds. Carrier had five. Alice Yokabaskas had three blocked shots. WMHS made one of two foul shots.
Boothbay’s Chloe Arsenault had 10 points. Maddy Barter and Faith Blethen netted back-to-back three point baskets in the fourth period. Boothbay made six of 12 free throws.
The Wolverines will be at Lisbon High School in Lisbon Friday, Jan. 4 to play the Greyhounds.
