Of the 78 championships handed out in the new MIAA state tournament format, some two-thirds of them did not go to No. 1 seeds. Two of those champions, Mount Greylock baseball and Wahconah boys lacrosse, were No. 3 seeds.

The Wahconah boys lacrosse team made history on Wednesday night. The third-seeded Warriors held off No. 1 Sandwich to win the first MIAA Division IV state championship in program history.

Wahconah boys lacrosse practiced for the final time on Tuesday in Dalton. The Warriors will suit up once more for Wednesday's State Championship game against Sandwich.

Wahconah scored the final two goals on Saturday, with 7 seconds left in regulation, and then Billy O'Neill's game-winner in OT to beat Cohasset and advance to the title round.

A year later and the Warriors are right back in the state semifinals, with full intentions on finishing the job.

A number of Massachusetts high schools have placed multiple teams into the Final Four rounds of the MIAA state tournaments this year.
