Girls’ Hockey: Leavitt/Little brushes off Lewiston for 10th straight win
Complicating matters for the Leavitt-Edward Little girls’ hockey team in the third period Saturday night, the minors against Taylor Landry and Danica Nadeau — overlapping by one second — took away two of the Red Hornets’ premier players. Leavitt-Little still had selfless assistant captains Amanda Grenier and Emma Martineau on the ice, however, blocking Lewiston […]
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. You want to shut it off, or look away, but you can’t. Biddeford experienced Wednesday what Landry’s rivals on the […]
Boys’ hockey: Gardiner gets first win at Leavitt’s expense
AUBURN — At times Wednesday night, Leavitt’s defense didn’t respond quickly enough. In another split second, the Hornets were just too eager. The end result was a costly 4-2 Western Class B boys’ hockey loss to previously winless Gardiner at Norway Savings Bank Arena. “We keep losing ground to people that are behind us,” Leavitt […]

Nordic Skiing: Leavitt, Mt, Blue mix it up at Telstar Relays

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 […]

H.S. Hockey: Local teams undergoing youth movement in goal
Some say to win in hockey, the team starts from the goaltender out. If any of the five boys’ teams that skate in Lewiston-Auburn win a championship, they will have to do it with inexperienced goaltending at the varsity level. “It’s a different situation this year, but the goaltenders have been waiting for a while […]
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 […]
