The MDI Boys entered yesterday's Eastern Maine Class B semifinal having split the series with the Presque Isle Wildcats.

Last night, they went 23-28, shooting 82.14% including going 14-18 in the final quarter, to beat Presque Isle 51-40. MDI's Keegan McKim and Colin Mooers each ended up 8-8 from the free throw line to pace MDI's free throw shooting.

MDI led 13-12 after the 1st Quarter. Adam Gray and Jon Phelps each had 4 points in the quarter for the Trojans, while Corey Willette and Brad Shields each had 4 for the Wildcats.

In the 2nd Quarter, Presque Isle outscored MDI 11-6, as Michael Boone, Jacob Williams and Cody Lyford each drained 3 pointers.

In the 3rd Quarter, MDI outscored Presque Ilse 12 -6. MDI 's Adam Gray and Ben Walls each scored 6 points in the quarter, as the Trojans allowed Presque Isle just 3 field goals in the quarter.

MDI was led by a trio with 10 points, Keegan McKim, Ben Walls and Adam Gray, while Presque Isle was led by Bradley Shields with 10 points.
