Lady Bucks Hold Off Warriors

Written by  Hugh Bowden Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 4:32 pm

BUCKSPORT — The sixth-ranked Bucksport Golden Bucks improved their record to 16-3, holding off 11th-ranked Fort Kent down the stretch for a 59-55 Class C playoff win and earning their first trip to the auditorium in 15 years.

The Golden Bucks took a 17-8 lead in the first quarter, but Fort Kent’s Sam Carapellucci scored 14 of her game-high 24 points in the second quarter as the Warriors cut the lead to 31-27 by halftime.

Fort Kent knotted the score at 46-all in the fourth period, but Bucksport — with Sadie Wight (19 points, seven rebounds, five assists) leading the way — hit 12 foul shots in the final quarter to preserve the win.

Fort Kent’s Andrea Nadeau hit a three-pointer, closing the gap to 55-53, but Mindy Pye, Shelby Redman and Wight hit free throws in the final moments to protect the lead.

Redman finished with 18 points and eight rebounds and Pye added 12 points for the Golden Bucks, who will now face the number three Central Red Devils at 9:35 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22, in Class C quarterfinal action.
