Dirigo held a 13-10 lead after the first quarter, but Calais settled down in the second quarter and took a 25-20 lead into halftime.

From there, the Blue Devils pulled away in the third quarter, which was capped by a 3-pointer by Kyle Jonhson to put the Blue Devils up by 14 points heading into the final quarter.

The young Houlton Shiretowners held off a veteran Maranacook team Saturday night at the Cross Insurance Center, claiming the Class C title with a 59-51 win.

In doing so, Houlton put the rest of Class C on notice that -- with no seniors on the team -- they will have to be reckoned with next year, too.

It was a balanced attack from the Shiretowners, with freshman Kolleen Bouchard leading the way with 18 points. Sophomore Rylee Warman had 11 points. Junior Katie Condon had 10 and Aspen Flewlling, another freshman, added 9 points.

The Black Bears led 15-10 after the first quarter, but Houlton outscored Maranacook 15-9 in the second to take a 25-24 lead into halftime.

Maranacook hung tough throughout the game, keeping it within single digits, but were unable to close the the gap.

Christine Miller scored 18 points for the Black Bears and Catherine Sanborn added 11.

It was Houlton's first title since 1991. Houlton finishes the season at 20-2. Maranacook finishes at 18-4.
