HOW DID WE GET HERE?
32 teams met at Merrimack High School to take a written test. The 14 teams scoring the highest on the test moved on, and four teams were randomly selected to compete in two non-televised wildcard games. The first game was a real nail-biter. Prospect Mountain narrowly defeated Bishop Guertin High, and ConVal Regional High bested Nashua High North to fill out the 16-team roster for the new season.
