Veteran (don't call him venerable) sportswriter Ernie Clark spent many a decade constructing all-tournament teams at the annual conclusion of the MPA High School Basketball Tournament for the Bangor Daily News.

Now, back by popular demand, Ernie is calling upon his wealth of knowledge after calling the majority of The Ticket's 110-game high school basketball broadcast schedule this past winter to unveil his boys and girls Ticket All-Maine squads.

Without further ado, here are the First, Second and Third teams for both boys and girls, along with honorable mentions for each, and The Ticket's Coach of the Year for girls and boys basketball.
