AUGUSTA – Second-ranked Edward Little went 13 of 14 from the foul line in the fourth quarter Friday to pull away from seventh-seeded Bangor for a 74-56 victory in an Eastern Class A girls’ basketball quarterfinal at the Augusta Civic Center.

Bangor (12-7), trailing by 14 at the half, pulled within two in the third period behind the scoring of Hillary Throckmorton but eventually faltered under pressure from Edward Little (16-3).

Frankie Lally led the Eddies with 25 points, hitting five 3-pointers and going 10 of 10 at the foul line in the fourth quarter. Ashlee Arnold added 17 points, all in the first half.

JOHN BAPST 25, HERMON 9: The second-seeded Crusaders (16-3) used slowdown tactics to beat the 10th-ranked Hawks (11-9) for the third time this season in an Eastern Class B quarterfinal at Bangor.

Riley Boyle and Abby Pyne each scored nine points for John Bapst, which held the ball for most of the second and third quarters after building an early lead.

The Crusaders led 11-4 at halftime and 17-4 after three quarters.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL

GARDINER 57, PRESQUE ISLE 44: Aaron Toman scored all of his team-high 18 points in the second half, including 10 in the fourth quarter, as the sixth-seeded Tigers (14-5) upset third-ranked Presque Isle (17-2) in an Eastern Class B quarterfinal at Bangor.

Gardiner will face the winner of today’s game between 10th-seeded Nokomis and second-ranked Ellsworth in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Bangor.

“The first half, I didn’t show up at all,” said Toman, who also had 11 rebounds, six offensive. “In the second half I got my act together.”

In the first half, the Wildcats kept the ball out of Toman’s hands with a strong zone defense. He only took two shots.

“I think he was shell-shocked a little bit,” Gardiner Coach Jason Cassidy said. “Those are big, athletic guys over there.”

The Tigers got Toman open in the second half by flashing him to the high post. When two defenders attacked Jake Palmer’s dribble penetration, Toman was left open. He also scored on a number of second-chance baskets.
