The Hermon Hawks boys basketball team was the clear favorite in the preseason. They did nothing during the regular season to change those predictions entering the Maine Principals’ Association class B tournament.
The Hawks went 18-0 and had only three wins decided by under 10 points.
Presque Isle comes in as the number three seed and will play the winner of the Ellsworth/Orono prelim game. The Wildcats split with Ellsworth during the regular season.
MCI (9-9) will travel to Washington Academy (13-5) in a prelim game on Wednesday. The Huskies have lost four of their last five games, while the Raiders enter the tournament on a five game winning streak. The winner will take on MDI in a quarterfinal game.
Winslow and Oceanside will meet in a quarterfinal contest. The teams split in the regular season, both winning on their home court. Click here for the class B boys schedule.
