The Stags (10-0) will play Thornton Academy at 12:30 Saturday at Cheverus for the regional championship and a spot in the Class A state final Nov. 17 at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland.
The game will be a rematch of last year’s regional final. Cheverus is seeking its third straight Class A state title.
