The Merrimack and Bishop Guertin boys basketball teams will host first-round games when the Class L playoffs start on Wednesday.

Should the fourth-seeded Tomahawks and the fifth-seeded Cardinals win their opening games, they'll face each other in the quarterfinals. The teams finished in a five-way tie with Pinkerton, Trinity and Dover, each with a 14-4 record.

Merrimack enters the tournament as the fourth seed and will host No. 13 Londonderry on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The teams played each other in the regular-season finale on Friday - in Londonderry - with the Hawks winning, 46-37.

Bishop Guertin will play host to No. 12 Alvirne (9-9) in the preliminary round. The Cardinals defeated the Broncos during the regular season, winning 60-52 on Feb. 2 in Hudson.

No. 11 Nashua North (9-9) will travel to Dover to take on the Green Wave. The teams played on Jan. 5, with Dover winning 56-49 at North.

The winners will move on to the quarterfinals, which are scheduled for Saturday.
