The Hot Corner: Waiting out the winter weekend doldrums
So this is what a weekend without football is like. Funny, I tried to forget. Sunday was particularly challenging for me. It’s the only one on the calendar without some variety of televised football, baseball or auto racing. Can’t even play Sunday morning point guard and overanalyze all eight high school basketball tournament games that […]

LHS wins fifth straight regional cheering title
In the current throw-caution-to-the-wind climate of Class A East cheering, a championship performance doesn’t have to meet that standard. And even though Lynnette Morency and her Lewiston High School powerhouse admittedly helped create that atmosphere, the coach isn’t sure how she feels about it. “A lot of people are stepping up their stunting skills, I […]

Cheering: Falcons hope to soar in new class
RUMFORD — Thirteen hasn’t been a jinx for the Mountain Valley High School cheerleading team. The Falcons are working with fewer hands on deck than ever, a product of the school essentially shrinking in half from the beginning of its 25-year history to now. That hasn’t stopped them from soaring to customary heights. Mountain Valley […]
