Breakers Girls Squarely in the Class S South Playoff Mix

Pine Tree Academy's girls varsity basketball team entered the final two weeks of the regular season in the thick of one of the state's closest playoff races.

The Breakers stood at 7-6 and held the No. 5 position in Class S South, a region where seeding was still unsettled heading into the last stretch of the schedule. Every remaining game carried weight for tournament positioning.

For a program in Maine's smallest classification, staying in the postseason conversation into February reflects the steady work the Breakers put in through the winter.
