Saturday evening, six seasons later, the Blue Devils and Cougars met again, now at the Cross Center in Bangor, and as always at the 8:45 and final MPA contest during the basketball season. The guests top performer Riley Robinson began the State Final with the same intensity and accuracy as he had given the Cougars all season helping to pace his team with 9-points to a narrow 13-10 edge over the first eight minutes. While the Calais unit had 5 2-pointers spread among their four seniors, Kyle Johnson, Nathan Newell, Tyler Niles, Andre Paul and freshman Matt Perkins. The first sign of Calais dominance began to show in the second period as the intense Blue Devil man-to-man pressure held their guests to 7-points, while the balanced offense had Rhodes with 5, Newell 3, Niles 3, and 2-each by Paul and Johnson to surge into a 25-20 midway advantage, hitting 8/10 on the bonus stripe. Calais caught up with Dixfield at the 2:31 mark when Travon Rhodes nailed a 3-pointer giving the hosts an 18-17 lead, and 2 Travon free throws at 0:41 capped the 5-point advantage. Over most of the contests this season, Calais came out from the break fired-up and ready to play causing 5-turnovers in another weak performance by Dirigo as they scattered 9-point in the third among three starters, while the hosts saw Kyle Sophomore Travon Rhodes takes the ball deep against the Dirigo Johnson and Nathan Newell each nailing 2-3-pointers, Kyle scoring 8, Nathan Cougars. 6, and 2-each from Niles and Perkins. This second surge was fueled by 3’s when Kyle nailed his first at 5:14 putting the score to 30-22, Nathan followed at 4:44 Tyler Niles gets Cougar Clayton Swett to commit and foul, as Tyler Andre Paul uses his quickness to penetrate the lane in State final (33-22) and again at 3:11 (38-26). After holding the ball to 2-seconds remaining, takes the ball to the glass. action in the Cross Center on Saturday. Kyle put down the “explanation mark” at the buzzer, nailing the three with the ball on route when the horn sounded ending the third at 43-29. Nathan Newell gave the Blue Devils a fine State tourney It was only 6-seconds into the start of the final frame that sophomore Travon game hitting 14-points with Rhodes stepped up top and nailed a three-pointer making that 17-point lead the 5-boards, 2-steals and an biggest in the contest. A rally by Dirigo did allow them to briefly cut the margin assist. to 9-points at 5:06, but a Lola free throw and nice cutting layup by Niles at 4:08 erased that margin. Coach Woodside called an effective time-out at 3:17 with an 11-point lead to get them to slow down, get the great shot & relax. A deliberate Andre Paul waves the net of Calais team then had 2-layups and free throw by Tyler Niles giving the leaders victory high overhead after 54-37 control at 1:41. It was over at this point although the talented Cougars never the Blue Devils defeated quit, but couldn’t over come the Blue Devil dominance, losing 57-43 at the end. Dirigo 57-43 to earn the state title. In the state final Nathan Newell had his best playoff game with 14-points, 5-rebounds and 2-steals to help pace the victory. Tyler Niles continued to perform as he hit another double-double with 12-points, 10-boards, 4-assists, and 2-steals. Kyle Johnson hit 10 with 2 steals and 3-assists; Travon Rhodes made 8 points, 8-boards, and a steal; Andre Paul had 6-points, 2-assists and 4-boards; Matt Perkins 4-points & 2-boards; and Zack Lola 3-points & 1-asssist. On the Cougar ledger Robinson scored 20-points with 7-boards and 3-assists to lead their attack. Hebert hit 9, Swett 8, and Arsenault 6. The 2014-15 Calais Blue Devils will be remembered for their unselfish team basketball in which the individuals played their own roles, but could never be called anything but a cohesive “family” unit that never stopped attacking their opponents.
