Traip boys, York girls lose in regional semifinals

The season came to an end Thursday for two of the top high school basketball teams on the Seacoast.

The third-seeded Traip Academy boys lost to No. 2 Winthrop, 59-46, in the semifinals of the Western Maine Class C tournament at the Augusta Civic Center.

The Rangers fell into an early 14-2 hole before storming back to take a 22-21 lead at halftime. But Winthrop took control in the third quarter and handed the Rangers just their second loss of the season. The Ramblers will play for the regional championship on Saturday (8:45 p.m.).

Meanwhile, in Portland, the fourth-seeded York girls suffered a 40-33 loss to top-ranked Lake Region. The Lakers (18-2) held off a young Wildcats team to advance to the regional championship for the third straight season. The Lakers will face Falmouth at 2 p.m. Saturday in the regional final.
