With three consecutive regional championships, a drop from Class B to C and BDN All-Maine Schoolgirl Basketball first-teamer Kolleen Bouchard running the show, it would appear the Houlton High School Shiretowners are the overwhelming favorites to represent Class C North in the state championship game this season.
They lost in the Class B state title game to Gray-New Gloucester 35-31 a year ago after winning the state championship the previous two years. They won it in Class B in 2015-16 after doing so in C in 2014-15.
But Houlton coach Shawn Graham isn’t taking anything for granted.
“Teams are playing with us more so this year than in the past,” said Graham. “There’s no doubt there is plenty of competition for us to worry about.”
