H.S. Football: Dirigo putting it all on the line
DIXFIELD — Dirigo senior Bryce Whittemore said his favorite quote is. “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” Replace “dog” with “cougar” and you start to understand where Whittemore is coming from.

H.S. Football: Lisbon leaps past Medomak Valley
LISBON — The play that best defined Lisbon’s 36-0 win over Medomak Valley on Saturday afternoon was a penalty on the Greyhounds. On that infraction, 275-pound senior fullback Noah Francis hurdled a hapless defender. The play was called back, but the Greyhounds scored on the very next play, and that’s how things went in the […]
