BRIDGTON SUFFERS 73-38 LOSS TO BREWSTER

This one wasn’t in the cards from the start. A sluggish beginning to the game for both teams opened the floodgates for the top-ranked visitors from New Hampshire who took full advantage of the Wolverine problems to coast to an easy victory in North Bridgton. Several timeouts and multiple substitutions had little effect as Brewster rolled to a 31-8 halftime lead. The eight points in a half is the wrong kind of record to be setting against a superior opponent. Bridgton held Brewster at bay for much of the second half before letting the game get completely out of hand. Coach Lesure came away impressed with the top ranked Bobcats and was matter of fact after the game in his comments. “Give all the credit to Brewster. They are playing very well. We struggled mightily on offense to do anything. I feel for our players who have not been through this sort of humbling defeat before, but on the other hand, the only thing that really matters is how each of us responds," said Lesure.

Later this week BA hosts the Winter Classic and takes on St. Thomas More Friday night at 8pm. MCI plays Notre Dame Prep at 6pm in the opening game.
