Page Brown scored 14 of her game high 16 points in the first half, and Chloe Arsenault added 14, as Boothbay easily handled Wiscasset 58-25 in MVC girls varsity basketball action Wednesday night in Boothbay.

Boothbay (7-0) got to work early, scoring the game’s first 16 points and closing out the first quarter up 21-6. Wiscasset (0-7) was held to a single, late bucket from Maeve Blodgett in the second quarter and trailed 38-8 at the break. Meanwhile, Brown established herself on the block, as she has her entire career, attacking the Wolverines in the paint, and Arsenault led the attack from the perimeter, connecting on a couple of pretty jumpers.

Wiscasset played a more balanced second half, aided by some extended second unit time for the Lady Seahawks. Wiscasset’s Grace Webber scored all 11 of her points in the second half, as Wiscasset was only outscored 20-17 in the final two frames. Sydnie Thayer hauled in nine boards and had seven steals in the losing effort. Blodgett finished with six points, and Lindsey Gordon with four. For Boothbay, Glory Blethen finished with eight points, and older sister Faith chipped in seven. 

Next up, Wiscasset hosts Class B Lisbon (2-5) Friday night, junior varsity at 5:30 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m. The Wolverines travel to Jay to play a make-up game with Class B Spruce Mountain (4-3) on Saturday. Game time is 2 p.m.
