After Saturday’s game against Caribou, the Witches had two down with one to go.

Two days after upsetting then-top seeded Bangor, Brian Colman scored 16 points and and grabbed eight rebounds led the Witches to a 66-62 victory over Caribou at Brewer High on Saturday.

The Witches trailed by 12 after three quarters, but pressed their way to a 24-8 fourth-quarter advantage and the win.

Andy Dore added 15 points while Jon Thomas netted 11 and Troy Leavitt had 10 points to go with 10 rebounds.

Chris Funk had 16 points for the Vikings. Toby Newbegin and Brad Sargent added 10 apiece.
