H.S. Football: Pease no small factor in Oak Hill success
“How much do you weigh now? 165?” Pease rolled his eyes and dropped his chin ever-so-slightly, two terms of body language that come naturally to a player who isn’t prone to talk about himself. “I think I’ve probably lost some since double sessions,” he said with an apologetic smile.

H.S. Football: Vikings vanquish elusive Eddies
PARIS – Football (and homecoming) wins have been few and cherished at Oxford Hills in the past decade. Even more frustrating for the Vikings: The inability to beat Edward Little, a rival with whom they’ve felt evenly matched. The jinx is over.
