BRUNSWICK — Julia Champagne poured in 26 points and the Brunswick High School girls basketball team beat Cony 56-53 in season-opening Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference play on Friday.

Brunswick trailed 13-9 after one quarter, but forged into a 27-20 halftime lead.

“We just spread the ball around and played really good defense,” said Brunswick coach Sam Farrell. “And we owned the rebounding edge (43-32), especially in that second quarter … they had zero second-chance points.”

Brunswick also led 37-36 after three quarters and was 19 of 26 overall at the line.

The Rams were 12 of 16 at the line and were paced by Emily Quirion’s 26 points.
