BRUNSWICK — Using a 15-0 run bridging the first and second quarters, Brunswick wiped out an early deficit to win its long-awaited opener, 53-40 over Freeport Tuesday night in girls’ basketball.

Logan Brown finished with 11 points for Brunswick, including seven straight at the end of the first quarter, part of the run that helped the Dragons recover from a 13-6 deficit.

“It was nice; one of the big fears I had was not being able to play another game with my teammates, who I’ve played with for years,” said Wall, who will play soccer and basketball at Covenant College in Georgia next year. “Win or lose, it’s just good to be out here running up and down the floor.”
