Caribou Grounds Hermon Hawks, Claims North Title [BOYS]

The No. 2 Vikings ousted the defending state champions 43-40 in front of an estimated 5,000 fans at a rocking Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Caribou advances to the state title game against the south champion next Saturday.
Junior Parker Deprey led the Vikings with 19 points. Austin Findlen added 11 points.

But the Vikings reclaimed the lead on the next play with 6:05 left in the game with a Deprey three-pointer and would not relinquish the lead again.
It was the first regional title since 1983 for Caribou.
