Welcome to the BDN’s guide to this year’s Maine high school basketball tournament, a one-stop resource to help you stay up on the schedules, scores, highlights and brackets.
The action starts with play-in games on the home courts of higher seeded teams early in the week, then moves to the big venues in Bangor, Augusta and Portland beginning Friday, Feb. 16 running through the state championship games on March 1 and 2.
You can settle in at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, the Augusta Civic Center, the Portland Expo, or the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland and keep track of what’s going on at the other sites thanks to the dedicated BDN sports team. We will be covering every game in Bangor in-person as well as all the state championship games. We will also have reporters and photographers at key games in the other locations.
The best news for you is the BDN is offering this coverage free of charge, thanks to our sponsor Katahdin Trust. That’s right, you don’t need to subscribe to the BDN in order to access all of our Sports content, including the tournament.
