Portland declared State Champion
What happened in 1943?
A tournament consisting of Stearns,
Waterville, Lewiston & John Bapst
was suggested in 1943 to be held
at Colby Field. This could not be
arranged so Stearns refused to attend
any tournament unless it was
held in Millinocket. They also
declared that any West winner
would have to play them at home
for a State Championship.
With all this fanfare, no Eastern
winner was ever declared. Portland
did defeat Stearns in an unsanctioned
intersectional game after the fact
but the S.P.A. just declared Portland
the State Champs outright.
No Small Class Tournament to Report either.
