Brackets Revealed for Lions Playoff Teams

Partially due to a late season loss to Central Catholic, the team was not selected to the Super 8 tournament during its selection meeting on Saturday. As a result, the team will play in the Division 1 bracket, which has not yet been posted by the MIAA.

The bracket likely won't be out until after Monday night's Super 8 play-in games, since the losing teams will drop into Division 1.

Drew Dawson will be among the key players for the Lions when the playoffs do start, along with linemate and fellow 100-point club member Tommy Bishop.

Lady Lions Hope to Make it Into First Round Game

Chelmsford earned the seventeeth and final spot in the North Division 1 playoffs, and hopes to extend its season for at least one more game.

The Lions travel to take on Medford at 7 p.m. on Monday in the preliminary round of the tournament. With a win, the team would earn a date with Lynn English, the bracket's top overall seed, in a game scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m.
