On Tuesday, Jan. 20, the Warriors avenged an early season loss when the team upended Jefferson, 63-33, to move onto the finals in the Busline League Small School South playoffs.

The Warriors (8-3) fell to Jefferson in December, when the Knights' Ryan Creamer scored 42 points. On Tuesday, Wiscasset was able to contain Creamer and take advantage of playing on their home court.

Creamer netted 10 points for Jefferson, but Wiscasset was able to harry him all game long.

Matthew Smith scored eight points in the first quarter to get Wiscasset out to a quick 20-14 lead. But Jefferson wasn't giving up easy: The Knights were able to keep the game close until the fourth quarter, when Wiscasset was finally able to put some distance between the two teams.

Should Wiscasset win its next game, it would compete against a Busline League North team for the state small school championship.

The Woolwich Wildcats girls team was able to take advantage of a strong second half to move past Wiscasset's girls team, 40-12.

Head coach Julie Elwell said the Wildcats, who will host Nobleboro at 3:45 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22, put things together in the second half.

“We mixed up our defense and our offense started to click,” she said. “We were able to get them out of their comfort zone, and our offense came alive.”
