Jamie Plummer led Richmond on two second-half runs, but Washburn’s defense forced a total of 42 turnovers, and the Beavers won their third straight Gold Ball, defeating Richmond, 75-55, in the Class D girls basketball state final Saturday afternoon at the Bangor Auditorium.

The top-seeded Wildcats continued to execute their offense throughout the game, and scored a 66-51 victory over No. 3 Nokomis in the Eastern B girls basketball final Saturday afternoon at the Bangor Auditorium.

No. 2 Bangor out-rebounded ninth-seeded Cony by 25, and pretty much decided the game with a second-quarter run. Bangor won its first Eastern A girls basketball title since 1982, defeating Cony, 57-43, on Friday night at the Augusta Civic Center.

Sam Bruce scored a game-high 17 points and made a free throw with 6.5 seconds left to force overtime, and Cristie Vicneire had 14 points and drained two clutch 3-pointers as Madison held off Old Orchard Beach, 46-40 in a Western C girls basketball semifinal at the Civic Center.

BANGOR — Nokomis fans put up a sign saying how they would always remember the Bangor Auditorium. Wednesday afternoon’s game was another reason why people who love watching basketball at the Auditorium will always remember the Nokomis girls.

AUGUSTA — Madison had handled Mt. Abram twice already this season, and it was clear early Tuesday afternoon that this was a different Mt. Abram team. But while the Roadrunners were clearly improved, Madison still has a deep well of players to turn to for the big shot. This time, it was junior guard Cristie Vicneire, whose clutch shooting in the third quarter spiked Mt. Abram’s rally and enabled the Bulldogs to hold on for a 50-42 victory in a Western C quarterfinal at the Augusta Civic Center.
