For the second time this season, the Winthrop Ramblers defeated the Boothbay Region Seahawks, 44-26, on Thursday, Feb. 4 at BRHS.

Boothbay had stayed close in the first half and trailed by only four points, 20-16, early in the third quarter, but the Ramblers got several breakaway layups and cruised to victory.

Winthrop’s Sage Fortin was the game’s leading scorer with 16 points, including two 3-pointers. Teammate Madison Forgue was nearly as good, scoring 12 points, including two 3-pointers. Maddie Perkins added nine points for the Ramblers.
