The Berlin High School boys basketball team is in a pretty good spot to try to win back-to-back championships for the first time since 1936-37. The Mountaineers will be the No. 1 seed in Division III, while Littleton, the runner-up in Division IV last year, will be the top seed in the D4 tournament. ### Division III The Mountaineers (17-1) won the Division III title in 2012, their first basketball championship since 1940, and finished in a three-way tie with Conant (17-1) and Newport (17-1) for first in the division this year. But thanks to two wins over Division II Kennett, Berlin won the tiebreaker based on a better rating. And with one win over Con-Val, also from D2, Conant got the second seed ahead of Newport. With 20 teams in the field, the tournament opens on Tuesday with four games, all starting at 7 p.m. No. 13 Belmont (8-10) hosts No. 20 Fall Mountain (6-12), with the winner of that game moving on to face No. 4 Gilford (15-3) in the second round on Thursday. No. 17 Winnisquam (7-11) will play at No. 16 Farmington (7-11) in the first round, and the winner moves on to play No. 1 Berlin in the second round. No. 15 White Mountain (7-11) hosts No. 18 Monadnock (6-10) Tuesday, with the winner advancing to the second round to face No. 2 Conant. No. 19 Kearsarge (6-12) heads to No. 14 Inter-Lakes (7-11) in the final first round game, and the winner of that game will play at No. 3 Newport in the second round. Four other second round games are scheduled for Thursday, also at 7 p.m. No. 5 Campbell (14-4) will host No. 12 Stevens (9-9) and No. 9 Raymond (11-7) will play at No. 8 Mascoma (12-6). No. 10 Prospect Mountain travels to No. 7 Somersworth (13-5) and No. 6 Hopkinton (14-4) hosts No. 11 Bow (10-8). Second round winners will advance to the quarterfinals, which will be held Saturday at 7 p.m. at the home of the higher seed. The semifinals are scheduled for March 5 at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at Southern New Hampshire University. The championship game will be held March 9 at 3 p.m., also at SNHU. ### Division IV Littleton (17-1) is the top seed in the tournament and will host No. 16 Portsmouth Christian (4-14) in the preliminary round, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

No. 4 Derryfield (14-4) hosts No. 13 Canaan-Pittsburg (6-12) in the first round on Tuesday, and the winner moves on to the quarterfinals to face either No. 5 Colebrook (13-5) or No. 12 Gorham (7-11). Second-seeded Newmarket (16-2) plays host to No. 15 Woodsville (4-14) in the first round Tuesday. The winner advances to play the winner of No. 7 Epping (12-5) and No. 10 Sunapee (8-10) in the quarterfinals.
