A clash between two 2023 state champions. Mt. Abram (5-1), the Class C champion, and Monmouth (5-1), the Class D champion, have graduated key players from their title-winning teams, but each retained enough talent to still be in the mix for another long playoff run.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
