Wiscasset, ranked
With all regular season games in the books, the time to look forward to playoff basketball is at hand.
For the first time in several years, both the Wiscasset High School boys and girls varsity basketball teams will be representing the red, black and white in the end-of-season tournament.
With the girls team getting into the playoffs, it means that Wiscasset's first four seasons of team sports (boys and girls soccer and basketball) have all qualified for the playoffs. Golf, cross country and swimming have individuals who have qualified for state meets, as well.
At 10-8 overall, the boys squad has clinched the eighth seed in the Class C Western Conference.
Rival Boothbay Region High School has the top seeding with a 16-2 record, and Dirigo, who is slated to face Boothbay for the Western Class C crown, is second at 16-1. BRHS won the division crown and represented the Western Class C in the finals in 2012-13.
Assuming the seeding stays the same between now and February 12, the Wolverines would play Old Orchard Beach in the preliminary round, with the top four seeds getting a bye.
The girls team was able to ride a late season surge into the playoffs. The Wolverines won three of the team’s last four to claim the last spot in playoffs.
St. Dom's is listed as the top team in Western Class C with a record of 15-3, followed by Maranacook (13-5), Carrabec (14-3), Old Orchard Beach (12-5) and Madison (11-6).
Coming in only one spot ahead of Wiscasset was the Boothbay Region Lady Seahawks, whose 7-11 record was good enough for the 13th seed.
If all things hold steady, the Wolverines would play Carrabec in the first round.
