Math team rivals John Bapst and Bangor High School will go head to head for the top spot in the state this week, but first they will share a bus to the competition in Augusta. Bangor High School is the state's Class A math team champion while John Bapst took the Class B title. When the standings are broken down into points, John Bapst's team sits above Bangor's by 45 points. The April 4 competition is the first state math meet since 2019, and the first statewide high school contest ever for all of the two teams' members, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic .
