Trailing by one, the Cony senior set herself up for an isolation play only to discover she was left alone — with her own thoughts. An Edward Little defender had drifted off her and was late getting back. “I was left wide open,” said Diplock. “It was one of those where I thought ,’Oh my […]

The team that hadn’t lost a race all season lost a race Friday. The skier who finished on the podium in every race this season placed fifth. And on a wild and wacky final day at the Class A State Skiing Championships, Falmouth’s ability to rebound after a horrendous first run outweighed Mt. Blue’s ability […]

Omar Haji-Hersi’s name may not roll off the tongue 10 or 20 years from now when casual high school basketball fans recall the stars from the Edward Little’s ongoing run as an Eastern Class A power.

RUMFORD — Maddie Wiegman wasn’t trying to win her race Wednesday. “You just focus on the team, and I want to do well for them,” Wiegman said. “That’s what I was thinking about the whole race. I wanted to do it for the team, not for myself.” The Leavitt junior isn’t going to turn down […]

AUGUSTA — What we learned Wednesday night in the early Eastern Class A boys’ basketball semifinal at Augusta Civic Center: 1. Mt. Blue’s time is now. 2. Edward Little’s time isn’t over.
