PARIS — Oxford Hills coasted to a 7-0 KVAC victory over Lewiston on Monday afternoon, but it didn’t feel like a breeze unless you were counting the one wafting across Tim Bryant Memorial Field that made spectators scramble for their winter jackets.

Auburn-Lewiston Sports Hall of Fame: Capone known for reversals of fortune
Lewiston High School, with a proud tradition of eight prior state championships and enrollment numbers that dwarfed most programs in Maine, looked like the perfect location.

Well, then again, maybe not. “I had a rough JV game, but when I got into the (varsity) game, Coach (Tony DiBiase) […]
