Hampden Academy Secures Quarterfinal Win Against Brewer
Hampden Academy secured a 43-37 win over Brewer in a Class A North girls basketball quarterfinal, although Coach Nick Winchester felt the team didn’t deliver a complete effort. The Broncos, with a record of 14-5, will advance to face either Cony or Skowhegan in the semifinals.
Junior Grace LaBree led the team with 15 points and seven rebounds, playing a key role in the team’s success. Winchester attributed the team’s improvement to LaBree’s performance and their focus on playing through the paint to create scoring opportunities.
Despite their victory, there were concerns about Brewer’s 10-0 run to end the game, highlighting the team’s struggle to maintain consistent performance throughout the game. Winchester emphasized the need for the team to play a full 32 minutes, rather than relying on short bursts of strong play.
Caitlin Murphy also contributed to the win with nine points and six rebounds for Hampden Academy. The team’s ability to maintain their momentum and improve their performance will be crucial as they progress further in the tournament. Their upcoming semifinal game promises to be a challenging test, but the Broncos are determined to continue their winning streak and secure a spot in the finals.
