Waynflete's Martha Veroneau finished the Western Class C tournament with 15 3-pointers, two more than the old tournament record for all regions and classes shared by Karen Bailey of Portland (1989), Holli Tapley of Calais (1997) and Cindy Schultz of Valley (2009).
Veroneau’s 47-point outburst in the semifinals against Boothbay not only was a Western Maine tournament record, but it matched the all-state record set by Cindy Blodgett for Lawrence in 1994.
As a team, the Flyers smashed the regional tournament record for 3-pointers with 26, breaking the mark of 23 set by Skowhegan in 2003. The previous Western Maine record for all classes with 18 by Greely in 2010.
