Just under 2,600 total yards. Thirty-six touchdowns. An undefeated season, capped by his third state championship. Dalton Therrien did enough in those first two categories to solidify himself as one of the top senior football players in the state. It’s the latter distinction that made the Oak Hill quarterback a runaway pick for Sun Journal […]

The Hot Corner: Football repeat? Difficult. Four at once? Ridiculous.
Meet the new champs. Same as the old champs. In the space of about 23 hours this past weekend, the four reigning high school football state champions evolved into four repeat high school football state champions. Those of us paid to write and broadcast such details reported this anomaly with disarming, matter-of-fact, oh-by-the-way detachment, as […]

PORTLAND — Zach Doyon was the only current player on the Marshwood roster to score a touchdown in the Class B football championship one year ago. Cole McDaniel had never played quarterback in his life until seven weeks ago. Together, they led the new-look Hawks to the same result, and one that has become commonplace in […]

Class C football championship: Winslow repeats, 24-10, over Yarmouth
Giving up a 64-yard quarterback keeper on the second play from scrimmage isn’t there, either. And there’s no evidence that five turnovers are any part of the equation.

Class D football: Buteau ‘D,’ special teams play key for Raiders
Buteau turned those 14 carries into just 30 rushing yards, though. Buteau found it tough sledding running the ball against the Huskies, who Oak Hill head coach Stacen Doucette called a “big, physical team.” Buteau’s longest run was 10 yards, and he had multiple negative-yardage runs to go along with a fumble. “Offense was definitely […]

Class D Football: Somebody’s ‘0’ has to go in Orono between Oak Hill, MCI
Close competition vs. dizzying numbers. Subtracting their Class D football championship showdown a year ago, there is no reliable means other than game film and conjecture to handicap Friday night’s rematch between Oak Hill and Maine Central Institute. Oak Hill is the two-time defending state champion, rides a 20-game winning streak and has been battle-tested […]
