H.S. Football: Running the ball can’t be stopped
The first organized game of football took place in 1869. The first legal forward pass didn’t come for another 37 years. As much as the pass has gained popularity over the last 110 years, especially over the past 10-20 years at various levels, there always has been and always will be a place in football […]

H.S. Soccer: Perry salvages tie for Hornets
Senior captain and goalie Lucas Perry reminded the Hornets that a tie can be pretty satisfying, too. Perry punctuated a 15-save performance with a tie-saving stop in the final seconds of the second overtime to preserve a 0-0 standoff with Erskine. “We came in here looking for a win because we had a tough loss […]

Monday Morning Quarterback: Time to ask teams: ‘Who are you?’
One local football coach said after a game Friday night that his team was “still trying to find our identity.” Never mind that said coach and team had just won a game scoring 51 points while giving up just six.

H.S. Football: Weekend blitz
Friday, 7 p.m. The Red Eddies played Portland close for a half, and played Cheverus close for 48 minutes, but lost both games.

Field hockey: Leavitt falls to Gardiner in overtime, 2-1
“It was a take from the top of the circle, and I’m a forward, so I technically shouldn’t have taken it, but I was feeling really confident in my air dribble right then, and I just had so much adrenaline going, so I just air-dribbled it in,” Walker said. “It hit off the other person’s […]

H.S. Football: Weekend blitz
Friday, 7 p.m. This is a big swing game for the Red Eddies. A win against a traditional power would put them into the top half of Class A North. They could be encouraged by rival Lewiston playing the Stags close, but the Red Eddies also had a nail-biter last week. LEWISTON (0-3) AT BANGOR […]
