OO B 41, Richmond 30
The Lady Gulls jumped out to a 16-7 lead after the opening quarter and never looked back as they improved to 3-6 on the season.
“We did what we wanted to do. We thought we could pressure them … and we jumped out to an early lead and just kind of maintained it most of the game,” said OOB coach Dean Plante.
The OOB coach is hoping his team’s tough early schedule will help them down the road.
“As frustrating as some of the scheduling was for the (Class C schools) in Western Maine Conference, it will definitely harden us, but now we have to win some games to get ourselves in position to play (in the postseason),” said coach Plante. “Wins over Richmond are going to go a long way and we have some games on our schedule that we have to win. Our goal is to get to six to eight or nine wins and we will take our chances in the prelims.”
OOB was led by Brianna Plante, Emily Greenlee and Sam Donnell, who each put up nine points in the win.
Peyton Feitz and Vanessa Hebert chipped in with five points apiece for the Lady Gulls, who held Richmond to under 10 points in all four quarters.
Richmond was led by Sydney Tilton with 12 points.
