BANGOR – The No. 6 Bangor girls basketball team missed a lot of open shots in its Eastern Maine Class A quarterfinal Friday afternoon.

But Ram junior Caroline Weymouth made two huge shots when it counted.

The second of those, a 3-pointer with about 36 seconds left in the game against No. 3 Lewiston, gave Bangor the lead for good in a 48-46 upset.

The semifinal-bound Rams will face the winner of Saturday morning’s quarterfinal between No. 7 Messalonskee of Oakland and No. 2 Skowhegan.

The semifinal is Thursday at 7:05 p.m. at the Bangor Auditorium.

The Rams, who were 6-12 last year, go to 16-4.

“It’s exciting,” said forward Serena Dubois, who scored 10 points and had nine rebounds.

Bangor had a six-point lead early in the fourth, but Lewiston rallied and tied it at 43-43 on a Katie Morin 3-pointer with 1:24 left. Lewiston’s Tracy Bradley got to the free-throw line with 59.7 seconds left and a chance to regain the lead.

She missed her first shot and Bangor coach Tom Tennett had called a 30-second timeout.

Tennett said he figured the Devils would have Dubois covered, so the next option was to get the ball to guards Laura Clarke or Weymouth for a drive inside.

Bradley made her second shot to give the Devils a one-point lead. But with 36.1 seconds left Weymouth drained her shot from the top of the key.

“Caroline was open and had the 3,” Tennett said. “Not the shot we drew up, but we’ll take it.”

Weymouth (14 points, 14 rebounds) had made one about two minutes earlier to give the Rams a 43-40 lead.

“I just felt like I was open, so I just threw it up there,” she said. “… We had to come back [out of the timeout] and we had to play. We needed it, we wanted it, we just needed to calm down.”

Dubois made two free throws with 18.7 seconds left to seal it as Lewiston’s Amanda Bryant scored in the final 10 seconds.

Clarke added 11 points, including four in the fourth quarter, and Dubois had 10 points.

Bangor made only 17 of its 63 field-goal attempts, but hit five of 10 from 3-point range. Erin Porter made two of three.

“It was just lack of accuracy,” Dubois said of the Rams’ shooting struggles.

The Rams played a 1-3-1 zone that kept the Blue Devils from getting into a running game, the style they prefer.

“We didn’t press it enough to get into the flow of things and that’s what happened,” Lewiston coach James Hood said. “We didn’t move enough and you have to do that against the zone.”
