For many schools in Division 3, this MIAA postseason represented a new opportunity after recent champions St. Mary's and Foxboro moved up to Division 2.

But ultimately, Bishop Fenwick would not be denied a title that was years in the making.

The top-seeded Crusaders powered through a challenging bracket, ultimately beating second-seeded Pittsfield in a narrow championship victory. No. 3 Apponequet and No. 4 Medway also made valiant runs to the semifinals.
