Friday, 7 p.m. The Red Eddies played Portland close for a half, and played Cheverus close for 48 minutes, but lost both games. They will need to play very well for 48 minutes against an Eagles team that is better than their 2-2 record and nearly beat Thornton Academy on the road. SANFORD (2-2) AT […]

First and 10: Head to head with Wil and Lee
Horton: As you know, this is the fourth week of my first season experiencing Maine high school football. My one-word summary: fun. All four games that I’ve covered have been fun. Maybe this is the new guy speaking, but none of the four games has failed to entertain. Leavitt’s 27-21 loss to Westbrook was a wobbly […]

H.S. Football: Weekend blitz
Friday, 7 p.m. This is a big swing game for the Red Eddies. A win against a traditional power would put them into the top half of Class A North. They could be encouraged by rival Lewiston playing the Stags close, but the Red Eddies also had a nail-biter last week. LEWISTON (0-3) AT BANGOR […]

College football: Bobcats bring EL alum Emerson home to start college coaching career
LEWISTON — Few newly-minted college graduates have compiled the football coaching resume Spencer Emerson had even before he picked up his degree in sociology from the University of Maine last spring. Nevertheless, the Edward Little High School graduate had an inkling he’d still have some dues to pay if he wanted to continue coaching. So […]

Monday Morning Quarterback: Red Eddies, Ramblers catch some drama
Chemistry means a lot in football. The chemistry of all five offensive linemen. The chemistry between a center and quarterback, between a long-snapper, holder and kicker. The chemistry of an entire defense. On Friday night, the chemistry between a quarterback and his go-to receiver was featured twice for local teams. Two kids playing pass-and-catch went […]

H.S. football: Freeport blanks Gray-New Gloucester
POWNAL — What a difference a year makes. Last season, coach Paul St. Pierre’s first leading the Freeport High School football team, didn’t go well, including a 36-0 loss at Gray-New Gloucester. That setback was part of an 0-8 season for Freeport. On Saturday at Pownal Recreation Field, the Falcons returned that loss to the […]
