As I write this, only two local high school athletic teams remain in NHIAA tournament action, the Berlin High School boys’ hockey team, and the Berlin High Unified Basketball Team.
As reported previously, the Berlin High School boys’ and girl’s basketball teams were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and this past Friday; the No. 4 Berlin-Gorham girls’ hockey team lost to No. 5 Hanover, 6-1; and the Meet Of Champions Ski Race, of which Gorham’s Ben Harmon participated in has been held.
