The MDI Trojans beat the Houlton Shiretowners 62-45 in Bar Harbor at Bernard Parady Gymnasium with the game called with about 1:15 left, because of a power outage.

MDI was leading when first the scoreboards went out, and then a few seconds later, half the gym, and a moment later the entire gym was plunged into darkness with the emergency lighting kicking in. After about 10 minutes and the student section signing "Party in the USA" while swinging their phones back in forth to provide illumination the game was called.

MDI led 16-11 at the end of the 1st Quarter and 33-23 at the end of the 1st Half. Houlton held MDI scoreless for the first 4:30 of the 3rd Quarter climbing to within 2 points, before MDI extended their lead to 14 points 48-34 at the end of the 3rd Quarter.
