AUGUSTA — Greta Breton figured she’d never finish the game Saturday.

After the junior forward picked up her third and fourth fouls in the third quarter, she knew it was unlikely she’d see the game’s end from the court.

“I thought I was going to foul out,” said Breton.

Breton, as it turned out, finished Saturday’s Western D final, and she finished strong. She scored 16 of her game-high 18 points in the second half to lead Greenville to a 46-29 win over Rangeley.

It is the first regional title for Greenville since 1985, fourth overall, and the second straight loss in the regional final for Rangeley.

“It’s a great accomplishment,” said Breton, whose team went 5-11 last year and lost to Richmond in the prelims. “I’m so excited. After last year, who would have thought we’d go all the way?”

Saige Weeks added 12 for Greenville (17-2)  while McKenna Peat and Miranda Drinkwater each added eight. Rangeley (14-7) was led by Chantal Carrier with 10 while Allie Hammond and Alanna Lauter each had six.

“I’m really proud that they got here, but if we had come and played our best game, we’d go home and say we played a better team today,” said Rangeley coach Heidi Deery. “Greenville was the better team, but I don’t feel like we played our best game. That’s always disappointing for any team.”

Rangeley was plagued by offensive struggles in the second half. It was a less-than-perfect first half for both teams, combining for 36 turnovers and 24 points.  Rangeley shot just 3-for-12 in the third and then missed five straight shots and finished 3-for-18 in the fourth.

“Our offense let us down in the second half,” said Deery. “We’ve struggled with that all year. At times we’ve looked confident and been able to execute and then we’ve had moments like we had today.

“It’s disappointing. I felt comfortable with having the first two games under our belts that we’d come with the confidence that we need to play 32 minutes. That part was disappointing.”

Breton pick up her third foul in the third quarter and drew her fourth late in the same period.  Still, Breton managed to play hard and help her club take the lead late in the third and break things open in the fourth with a 12-3 run.

“After I got the fourth foul, I knew I had to play smart defense,” said Breton. “That’s what I did. I played with my feet. If you got past me, I didn’t go over the back or anything.”

Rangeley had the lead for much of the first half and well into the third quarter. Breton broke a 19-19 tie with a basket inside with 1:03 left in the third. After a free throw by Lauter, Breton scored again on a press breaker to end the third 23-20.

“We talked to her on the bench to be aggressive on offense but on defense, she had to be alive — watching the ball and not bouncing and banging underneath,” said Greenville coach John Jardine. “

Two Chantal Carrier free throws got Rangeley within 23-22 to start the fourth, but the Lakers would never be any closer. Breton scored on a press breaker and then grabbed a defensive rebound and dribbled the length of the court for a layup and 27-22 lead.

“Saige with her rebounds and I had a couple rebounds,” said Breton. “We both had a lot of shots. The outside guards had a lot of good passes too. That always helps.”

Rangeley got a score from Hammond but McKenna Peat scored two straight and free throws by Drinkwater and a baseline move by Breton made it 35-25 with 3:29 left. Breton added another late field goal and Weeks had five straight in the final minutes to finish it off.

“I give Greenville credit,” said Deery. “When it came down to the last eight minutes, they finished it off.”

Rangeley was in good position early. With a strong defensive effort and Greenville’s foul trouble, Rangeley was able to lead for much of the first half and third quarter. When Greenville began to establish its presence inside a little better and forced a few key Rangeley turnovers, Deery’s team faltered.

“We just needed to make some shots,” said Deery. “In the first half, I don’t know how many layups, uncontested shots at the hoop, we missed. Even with that, we could have done better.”
