(12) Mount Royal at (5) Pittsfield

 Box Score of the second meeting

 Jay Darrah’s Panthers won a pair of lopsided games over Mount Royal, who qualifies as the 12 seed in their first varsity season in a decade.

 Lisbon coach Sam Natti had to break the 4/5 tie-breaker between Derryfield & Pittsfield using the same adjacency matrix that Will Hunting used on the hallway chalkboard at MIT. Click if you're a math geek

 So we are taking an educated leap of faith that they are the 5 seed behind Derryfield.

 Cam Darrah finished the season as the Division IV scoring champ at 25.2 ppg. Finishing .4 points ahead of Trey Carrier of Wilton-Lyndeborough (24.8).

 Josh Whitter (10.8) gives them rebounding and interior defense after sitting out last season while Garrett Guerro-Hadley can handle the ball, allowing Darrah to play off of it.

 Coach Darrah runs a lot of good sets to get Cam free and Darrah is a good passer in addition to his ability to score. Pittsfield will be a very tough out and a win here gets them back to the quarterfinals after a three year absence.
