Crossover football: Fryeburg tops Greyhounds
LISBON — Fryeburg Academy’s defense found itself pushed back to the shadow of its own end zone for much of Saturday’s season opener at Lisbon. If it wasn’t a strategic move, perhaps it was out of convenience because it gave the Raiders more time to add bricks and mortar to the goal line. Bryce Micklon rushed […]
Football opener: Complete effort as Dragons roll past Skowhegan, 48-7
BRUNSWICK — Brunswick’s Owen Richardson remembers his first high school football game last season as a junior.

High School Football: 8-man debut a hit for Eagles
GRAY — About the only thing to stop Holden Brannan on Friday was a cramp early in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, the Mt.

Field Hockey: Madison Vachon ready to prove she’s the safety net Thornton Academy needs
SACO – Madison Vachon knew a few years would pass before her time came. As a young goalkeeper in the Thornton Academy field hockey program, especially one who didn’t start playing the position until high school, patience is a virtue. “I’ve waited and waited. I’m just really excited. I want to show people what I […]
Football: Old Orchard Beach soars past Telstar 44-28 in first 8-man game
OLD ORCHARD BEACH – Old Orchard Beach football head coach Dean Plante didn’t see much of a difference of play during the Seagulls season opener against Telstar Regional High in the state’s inaugural eight-man football game.
