AUBURN — Another St. Dominic Academy hockey game, another fellow Class A title contender wearing the opposite sweater, another big day from a player who wasn’t in the Saints’ lineup to start the season. Dillon Pratt scored two goals in only his second game since returning from a fall concussion, leading St. Dom’s to a […]

Boys’ basketball: Vikings duo delivers
Anyone expressing high expectations to coach Scott Graffam about his Oxford Hills boys’ basketball team in the preseason was greeted with the yeah-but. As in, “Yeah, but we only have two returning players with any varsity experience.” Yeah, but that’s more than enough if they’re the right ones. One-third of the way through a ridiculously […]

Boys’ basketball: Lisbon overcomes cold shooting, tops Telstar
LISBON — Monday night’s score from Manchester Gym is one that some will see in black-and-white, accompanied by no details, and grumble that Maine high school basketball needs a shot clock.

Boys’ basketball: Robinson races past 1,000, scores 36 as Dirigo drops Monmouth
DIXFIELD — Riley Robinson and his Dirigo boys’ basketball teammates say they didn’t talk about his pursuit of 1,000 career points at all this week. That’s OK, because everybody else picked up the slack. If you missed the flyer with his picture and a breakdown of the mathematics on it as you paid admission Thursday […]

Boys’ basketball: Different game, same result as Leavitt stuns Spruce Mountain
Not even two months after souring Spruce Mountain’s then-undefeated football season on its way to another regional championship, Leavitt — with much of the Hornets’ lineup still visibly hobbled from that journey — handed the Phoenix their first boys’ basketball loss as a member of the KVAC, 51-49, on Monday night. This one was much […]

Boys’ hockey: Roy’s overtime goal vaults St. Dom’s over Biddeford
AUBURN – Saint Dominic Academy enjoyed the relative eternity of three minutes to draft its strategy for the overtime face-off after the end of regulation Saturday night. The Saints also had senior sparkplug back Brad Berube, who missed the entire preseason and first regular-season game while recuperating from a broken wrist, back in the fold […]

POLAND — Derek Michaud and Alan Young always held high expectations for their basketball team. Now they’ve been part of helping everyone else see Poland Regional High School boys’ hoop as an overnight sensation.
