Last week it was announced that there would be high school basketball pod tournaments within each region. The Athletic Directors in the Penquis league pod agreed to base the seedings for their pod on record within the pod. The tiebreaker is head to head matchups. If the teams tied or split during the regular season, the next tie breaker would be the result of the second matchup between the teams that are tied.
The pod consists of Dexter, Penquis (Milo), PCHS (Guilford), Central (East Corinth), and Greenville.
In the boys pod, a lot is still to be determined entering the final week of the regular season. Here is the schedule.
Play-off schedule is as follows:
3/1 – 4 vs. 5 play-in game, loser is eliminated
3/3 – 2 vs. 3 and 1 vs. 4/5 winner
3/5 – Pod championship games and consolations games
All games are at the higher seeded team. Below are the scenarios for each team.
