FAIRFIELD — Shy Ulrickson scored his 1,000th career point late in the first quarter and hit two free throws late in regulation to lift the Mt. Ararat High School boys basketball team to a 50-49 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference win over Lawrence on Friday.

“If you leave the ‘Dog Pound’ with a win, you did good,” said Mt. Ararat coach Steve Cox, whose Eagles improved to 5-9 and host Cony on Tuesday and Bangor on Friday. Both games begin at 7 p.m. “We had an 11-point lead and we should have spread it out. But, we got the win.”

Ulrickson finished with 17 points, with Mike Crawford and Mason Griffin adding 10 points apiece. Harper Moutal and Cam Cox played well in the win.

Mt. Ararat led throughout, claiming quarter leads of 11- 10, 24-17 and 40-33. Lawrence stormed back behind 20 points from Seth Powers, taking a one-point lead, 49-48, before Ulrickson put the Eagles ahead to stay.

Mt. Ararat was 4-of-10 at the free-throw line, while the Bulldogs finished 12-of-16.
