Boys’ Soccer: Blue Devils bounce Broncos
LEWISTON — Abdibaari Hersi wanted a shot. The Lewiston junior midfielder didn’t want penalty kicks and he didn’t want to see Hampden Academy get its try in overtime Saturday night. So Hersi zigged one way and zagged another until he found his shot. “I saw the opening to the goal,” said Hersi. “I was like […]

Class A Football: Devils get defensive, dismiss Eddies
LEWISTON — Saturday’s donnybrook at Don Roux Field wasn’t complete until Steven Patrie batted Sean Ford’s desperation pass away from Quin Leary at midfield. As endings go, it probably seemed innocuous and anticlimactic, but you’d be hard pressed to pen a more appropriate one. Patrie’s one-game move from defensive end to something of a safety/linebacker […]

H. Brooks: Outstanding choice for Lewiston
I am voting for Rep. Mike Carey to continue to work in Augusta. He is the ranking Democratic member on the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. He has represented his constituents exceedingly well.
