One, hope that the Red Hornets’ freshmen — seven of them, each seeing significant ice time — get rattled by the environment. Or two, stay glued to Taylor Landry at every turn and force somebody else to beat you. Neither approach stayed on the rails Saturday afternoon at Norway Savings Bank Arena. Six different players […]

Boys’ Basketball: Hornets trap Eagles, 70-45
TURNER — The final two games of Leavitt’s schedule has it hosting to top- and bottom-ranked teams in Eastern Class B. It’s a fitting good news, bad news end to the Hornets’ season.

Girls’ hockey: Landry, Leavitt-Little blank Biddeford
AUBURN — Once the Taylor Landry Show is on, if you’re a Leavitt/Edward Little girls’ hockey opponent, it’s the equivalent of a guilty-pleasure reality program or a chain-reaction crash that just happened on the highway.

Nordic Skiing: Numbers no object at Leavitt
TURNER — Friday’s snow-coated roads and far-below-zero wind chill persuaded many communities in the region to cancel school and postpone games and practices for the second straight day. You wouldn’t have detected any of that by observing the Leavitt Area High School Nordic ski team. The Hornets waxed their skis while sequestered in the relatively […]

HS Girls’ Hockey: Red Hornets blank unbeaten Clippers, 4-0
AUBURN — A pair of 2-1 losses to Greely and Scarborough early in the season planted a seed of doubt in Edward Little/Leavitt’s mind about whether it could beat a top team in Class A. A 4-0 win over previously unbeaten Yarmouth/Freeport on Saturday night should remove all doubt that the Red Hornets belong with […]

Girls’ hockey: Red Hornets top Blue Devils
LEWISTON — It may not have the intricacies of an NHL neutral-zone trap, the Leavitt/Edward Little’s first line of defense was just as effective Wednesday in the team’s first meeting of the season against rival Lewiston High School.
