H.S. Football: Halls stepped up when he was needed the most
“He was bringing the team up,” Greyhounds coach Dick Mynahan said. “That’s what a leader does, he knows when you’re down, you need to be brought back up.

Field hockey: UMF dismisses USM
FARMINGTON — The only thing louder than the wind Wednesday was the sound of the University of Maine at Farmington’s sticks slapping the ball up and down the field. Whipping winds carried off the muggy heat and the Beavers got carried away and drubbed the University of Southern Maine, 4-0. The Beavers dominated both halves […]
