Successful high school sporting teams don't happen overnight! It's necessary to have feeder teams, to keep the teams "stocked" as seniors graduate. In MDI High School's case, the reason that the teams have been so good year after year is due to the Acadia Basketball Association and Acadia Football League, as well as the Acadia Baseball League.

Congratulations to the 7/8 A team (pictured above) who won the Eastern Maine Basketball League Championship today, Sunday January 25th, defeating Hermon 54-40 to go undefeated this season. Reportedly, they are the first Acadia Basketball Association team to win the "A" division at any level!

Pictured above are coaches Mike Swanson and Greg Linscott. From Emerson School  -Lindsey McEachern, Hannah Chamberlain, Maddy Candage, Maddy Good and Alexis Clarito. From Tremont - Julia Watras and Lilly Turner and from Mount Desert - Brigitta Olearcek

Congratulations to all, and I look forward to seeing you on the hardwood at Bernard Parady Gymnasium in Bar Harbor and broadcasting your games in the years to come!
