The Clippers are the No. 5 seed after finishing the regular season with an 8-10 mark. Yarmouth/Freeport/ Gray-New Gloucester finished the season by winning its final two games, including a 4-2 road win over Lewiston/Monmouth/Oak Hill on Jan. 27.

Needing a win to move up a spot in the standings, the Clippers came from behind to post a 4-1 win over Winslow/Erskine Academy on Saturday.

During the regular season, the Clippers fell twice to the fourth-seeded Red Hornets (8-7-3), dropping a 5-2 decision on Dec. 2 before getting blown out, 10-1, at Travis Roy Arena in Yarmouth on Jan. 2. However, down the stretch, the Clippers’ only losses were to North top seeds Greely (5-1 and 6-2) and St. Dom’s (9-5).

In today’s other quarterfinal, Dave Boucher’s Brunswick Dragons, the No. 6 seed, visits the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston tonight at 8 p.m. to take on the No. 3 Blue Devils (10- 7-1).

Boucher’s first season featured a solid mid-season run as the Dragons went on a 7-2 tear, including a big 7-6 win over Edward Little/Leavitt/ Poland on Dec. 22.

However, the Dragons have found the going tough against Lewiston/Monmouth/ Oak Hill, dropping both meetings this season. Brunswick opened the season with a 4-1 loss at Lewiston in a game that was close (2-1) until the final minute of regulation when the Blue Devils scored two empty-net goals.

In the rematch at Sidney J. Watson Arena on Jan. 9, the Blue Devils rolled to a 6-0 win, beginning a tough stretch (0-5-1) for the Dragons, who won their final regular season game, 6-2, over Winslow/Erskine Academy.

Greely (18-0) is the top seed in the North, with St. Dom’s (16-2) second. Both await semifinal opponents.

In the South, Scarborough (16-1-1) and Falmouth (14-2-2) are the top two seeds, followed by Cheverus (11-7) and York (9-9).
