In the varsity game, the Witches played well in the first half trailing by two, 19-17, at the half time break. The Bangor defense took the 3-point shot away for most of the second half and as outsized as Brewer was they had a hard time penetrating the paint leaving Bangor with a 34-28 lead after three quarters and outscored the Witches 20-11 in the final stanza to take home the 54-39 win.
Brewer had a hot hand from behind the 3-point line in the first half knocking down five off them with just one 2-point basket in the half. That along with some good defense kept the Witches in the game. In the second half, Brewer had just two more 3-pointers ending the game with seven.
Scoring for Bangor was Abbie Quinn with a game-high 20 points; Libby Fleming 14; Maggie Cowperthwaite 10; Rowan Andrews seven; and Abby Fleming three.
The Rams were 8-of-12 (67 percent) from the foul line and had two 3-pointers, both from junior guard L. Fleming.
For Brewer, Grace Robertson and Kenzie Dore had 12 points each; Brooke Merrow and Kathryn Austin four each; Riley Umel three; and Sarah Kiley and Janessa Bishop two each.
