For three schools and four teams, a date with destiny has been postponed, due to snow.

But the games will go on.

Due to an impending snowstorm, the Busline League Small School finals will be on Wednesday, Jan. 28 at Wiscasset High School and will feature the Nobleboro boys team matching up against the Searsport boys team at 3:30 p.m. and the Woolwich Wildcats pairing up with Searsport’s girls team at 5 p.m.

The Woolwich girls team was able to knock out Nobleboro with a late surge, coach Julie Elwell said.

“It was a five point game with two minutes to go,” she said. “We were able to control the ball, take some good shots, and we wound up winning by 11. It was a good game – it went back and forth and all the kids played hard.”

The Wiscasset Middle School boys team fell to a tough Nobleboro squad on Thursday, Jan. 22, by a score of 62-57, in the Busline League Small School South Championship game.

Wiscasset was led in scoring by Billy Pinkham, who netted a team-high 21 points, while Matt Chapman scored 18 points and collected 15 rebounds. Dylan Orr scored 11 points and Noah Haggett scored five points.

Nobleboro's Joel Hatch netted a game-high 24 points while Ethan Spear (18 points) and Bryce York (16) helped the undefeated Nobleboro Lions team.

For Wiscasset, the season ends with 10 wins and a trip to the championship game, something Coach James Roy said his team should be proud of.

“Making it to the championship game was a great reward for all the hard work the boys put in,” he wrote in an email. “We played summer basketball back in July and August, playing two (to) three times per week and it got us off to a solid start at the beginning of the season.”

Roy said the teamed focused on fundamentals and received help from Wiscasset High School boys varsity head coach Dana Lawrence and assistant coach Michael Pare that helped the team come together.

The team's willingness to put in work, and the desire to keep playing (the Warriors will keep playing throughout the winter in other tournaments) is what set them apart, Roy said.

“The team improved in all facets of the game from the start of the season right up to the game last evening,” he said. “They are an awesome group to work with. Not only have they had some success on the court but they have also done their work in the classroom as a good majority of the boys are honor roll students. “

Roy added that Nobleboro should be proud of its boys team, led by Coach Hatch, that will play for the championship.
