Players to watch: Sr. C Gilleyanne Davis-Oakes, Vinalhaven; Sr. F Natasha Haley, Rangeley; Jr. G Brooke Egan, Rangeley;

Favorite: Vinalhaven.

The defending state champion Vikings went 18-0 and dominated the entire region, and Davis-Oakes is a force.

Dark horses: Rangeley.

The Lakers seem to be the only team with a chance to unseat Vinalhaven. Haley and Egan were part of Rangeley’s state championship in 2016, and they’re surrounded this year by a talented but young squad.

Overview: Even Rangeley was roughed up by the Vikings this season, losing by 14 and 19 points during their overnight road trip to the island Jan. 5-6. However, that was nearly a month-and-a-half ago, and the Lakers’ young players have another half of a season under their belts.

Prediction: Vinalhaven.

Rangeley’s Tasha Haley dribbles upcourt against Richmond during a game last season.
