The Seahawks found themselves trailing by five points late in the first half but rallied with an 11-2 run over the remainder of the period as they upped their record to a perfect 6-0 with a 55-51 victory over the Madison Bulldogs at Porter Memorial on Saturday, December 22.

After outscoring their guest 17-14 in the first period, the Seahawks got six points from Joseph DiMauro early in the second period as the sophomore provided a spark off the bench for the second game in a row. Two three-pointers from the Bulldogs Jared Miller, followed by an 11-2, run gave the visitors the five-point cushion.

The Seahawks' John Hepburn connected on a jumper along the baseline and scored inside on a pass from Linc Simmons, who also added a free throw. Anthony DiMauro put back a miss, Andrew Hallinan scored inside, and John Hepburn cleaned up the offensive glass, as the Seahawks went to the break leading 37-33 after a high scoring first half.

After being red hot for most of the first half the Bulldogs cooled off in the third period as they missed their seven attempts before Dylan Price put back his own miss. This followed a 7-0 run by Boothbay, who had built a double-digit lead with John Hepburn scoring twice and Linc Simmons scoring inside. A minute later, Simmons drained a three-pointer for an eleven-point lead.

With the lead at eight after three periods, the Bulldogs continued to scrap as a quick 7-2 run, fueled by another Miller three-pointer, cut the lead to three. With just over one minute to go, Price turned a lazy pass into two points for a two-point game.

The Seahawks were able to work the clock as they played keep away and hit two of four from the line in the last minute to hold on for the win.

John Hepburn led the Seahawks with 16 points with Anthony DiMauro adding 11.

Currently seeded number two in the updated Heal point standings, the Seahawks have a 12-day break in regular season competition but will be participating in a holiday event at the Augusta Civic Center.
