The Boothbay Region High School boys varsity basketball team held off a fourth-quarter rally by the visiting Wiscasset Wolverines Tuesday night and hung on for a 59-55 win at Porter Memorial Gymnasium.

Trailing by 10 going into the fourth quarter, 52-42, the Wolverines battled to within two points and had a chance to take the lead with about 30 seconds to go, but a missed three-pointer and two free throws by Jacob Leonard with just over five seconds to play sealed the win for Boothbay.

“It was a lot of fun to see the team put a game together,” said Seahawk Coach I.J. Pinkham. “They stayed with the game plan, played with patience when necessary, and shared the ball.  Things got a little tense in the final minutes, and it was nice to see Jacob Leonard hit two free throws to ice the win.”

Kyle Ames led the Seahawks with 18 points, followed by Eli Gudroe with 15 and Leonard with 11.

Wiscasset was led by Ethan James with 20 points, followed by Nate Woodman with 11.

Boothbay improves to 4-3 on the season while Wiscasset drops to 5-2.
