The best plays from the regional finals and eight-man state championships.

Preview: Winthrop and Winslow are perennial contenders, but both have long championship droughts.

The Black Raiders have put up video-game numbers, but to win a Class D title, they must power through a defense better than any they’ve faced.

The Ramblers have held every opponent to 13 points or less but will be tested by Winslow’s relentless rushing attack.
