Coaches: Bangor’s Colin Kessler in his second season with the Slaters, 27-15. Shawn Munford is in his ninth season with the Cavaliers, 109-94. Previous meeting: Bangor won 59-55 in 2007.

What to expect: The Colonial League championship was great for the Slaters, but they would truly love to end a district title drought that extends back to 1988. Bangor will need to play with the smarts and toughness it possessed in beating Notre Dame. South is well-coached and features several quality athletes, especially in Villanova-bound football player Sapp. But the Cavaliers haven’t played as tough of a schedule as Bangor and may be a year away from taking a title.

Keith Groller’s pick: Bangor 66-61.
