Pitia Donato’s offensive rebound and two free throws with 2.9 seconds left helped No. 2 Portland turn back an upset bid by seventh-seeded Windham as the Bulldogs held on for a 49-46 win in a Class AA North boys’ basketball quarterfinal Thursday night.

The Bulldogs (14-5) will take on No. 3 Lewiston in the semifinals next Thursday at Cross Insurance Arena.

Adrian Moody scored eight first-quarter points and Windham (5-14) had a 16-13 advantage at quarter’s end. But the Bulldogs responded with an 11-2 run in the second quarter before Windham rallied to make it 23-23 at the half.

Portland scored the first six points of the second half, but the Eagles answered with a 10-0 run, then took a 36-34 advantage to the fourth quarter after Creighty Dickson converted a three-point play at the horn.

The Bulldogs went ahead to stay on a 3-pointer from Pepito Girumugisha with 4:44 to play. Windham got within one point four different times after that but fell just short, as Blake McPherson’s three-quarter-court heave at the horn grazed the front of the rim.

Kevin Rugabirwa led all scorers with 15 points. Remijo Wani added eight for Portland.

The Eagles were paced by 11 points from Moody.
