The winter sports regular season is quickly winding down and there’s a lot of excitement on the horizon.

It’s never too early to see where teams stand in their playoff/tournament quests.

Here’s a glimpse at what happened last week and what’s to come.

Boys’ basketball

If the playoffs began at press time, Brunswick would be in and Morse and Mt. Ararat would be out, but the Eagles and Shipbuilders still have time to make a run.

The Dragons were 8-7 and sixth in the Class A South Heal Points standings at the start of the week after a 74-51 home win over Cony and a 66-63 overtime victory at Biddeford. Brunswick hosted Leavitt Thursday, welcomes Mt. Ararat Saturday and closes the regular season at Lewiston Tuesday.

Morse was 3-11 and 10th in Class A South (nine teams make the playoffs) following losses last week at reigning Class A North champion Oceanside (89-54) and Lewiston (65-33). The Shipbuilders hosted Erskine Academy Tuesday, visit Medomak Valley Friday, host Waterville Tuesday of next week and close next Thursday at Winslow,

Mt. Ararat was 3-10 and 12th in Class A South after Friday’s 53-52 home win over Camden Hills. The Eagles went to Oceanside Tuesday and hosted Lewiston Thursday. They visit Brunswick Saturday, host Medomak Valley Tuesday of next week and close next Thursday at Edward Little.

Girls’ basketball

On the girls’ side, Brunswick began the week 12-3 and second behind Greely in Class A South after wins last week at Cony (69-31) and at home over Biddeford (65-31). After playing at Leavitt Thursday, the Dragons host Mt. Ararat Saturday and close the regular season at home Tuesday versus Lewiston.

The Phoenix hosted Sacopee Valley Tuesday and went to Richmond Thursday. Hyde welcomes Kents Hill Saturday, goes to Old Orchard Beach Monday of next week and finishes the season next Wednesday at Pine Tree Academy.
