Kramlich: It all. Comes down. To this! Oh sorry, I got stuck in movie trailer mode. But in all seriousness, we have two local teams left, and only one will be moving on after this weekend. And it should be a doozy. No. 1 Winthrop/Monmouth hosts No. 2 Lisbon in Class D South, to end the […]

Head to head with Wil and Lee: Surprises? Nah, it’s the playoffs
Kramlich: All right, I didn’t think I could possibly see a better version of the Edward Little vs. Oxford Hills/Buckfield matchup than the one you saw during the regular season.

H.S. Football: Dirigo gets rematch with Winthrop/Monmouth
A win over three-time defending Class D state champ Oak Hill was unsurprisingly one of them, as was a week two road win at Traip, which came on the heels of a big season-opening road win at Lisbon. The other game that came down to the wire was a home win against seemingly depleted Dirigo. […]
