The end of the season rarely means the end of play for Dartmouth teams and this year is no different. Propelled by their regular season performances, many of Dartmouth and Bishop Stang’s winter sports teams head into the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s tournaments, with their eyes on the state championship title.

The power rankings are as of Saturday, Feb. 22. The top 32 seeds in each sport qualify for the state tournament.

Boys Basketball

Dartmouth High School boys basketball team ended its season with a record of 9-11.

The team’s record earned it a 19-seed ranking in Division 2. Dartmouth begins its playoff run with a game against Burncoat High School in Worcester Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m.

Bishop Stang High School, also in Division 2, earned itself a 38-seed spot with its even record of 10-10. The Spartans face off against Minnechaug Regional High School on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. at Minnechaug’s home field.

Girls Basketball

Dartmouth High School’s girls basketball have been on fire this season, winning nearly every game in its league and finishing with an 18-2 record. 

Last year, the basketball team advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the competitive Division 2 tournament. The team faced a tough close loss after going into overtime against Whitman-Hanson Regional High School, 40-38.

This year, Dartmouth had a bye in the first round, and the team will host either North Attleboro or Agawam High School on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. depending on the results of the schools’ Monday game.

With a rockier record of 8-12, Bishop Stang High School ranked 62 among Division 2 teams, and will not be heading into the postseason.
