Windham Youth Gets Deer on Opening Day

October 27, 2007

By David Field

Just a week after his 13^th birthday, Cody Dube shot his first deer from just over 200 yards away with his brand new Savage .270 rifle. Once again, the evidence is mounting that deer just don’t lie down when it is raining. It is early in the season and deer haven’t converted to being totally nocturnal.

October 27, 2007

By David Field

Saturday, October 27, 2007, marked the opening day for deer season. This day is for Maine residents only. My friend Cliff had to make the trip north to pick up his moose meat at the butcher shop, so we planned on hunting in northern Washington County around the camp despite the weather forecast.

Dear Players and Coaches;
It is WYSA policy to play in the rain and tomorrow's forecast is calling for rain (heavy at times). Sunday's forecast is calling for sunshine. Our last schedualed games are this weekend. Our last weekend includes games, picture distribution, and medal presentations. In order to end the season on a positive note and make the closing weekend as enjoyable as possible, we will be moving our last slate of games to Sunday the 28th. All the times will remain the same and the picture and medal distribution will remain the same. We are just changing the day.

I know this will be inconvienent for some of you, and for this I apologize. After last years rain soaked ending date, I want to do what is best for the kids.

See you Sunday
Rick Yost

As a lifelong Red Sox it is hard to believe that we are two wins away from a second championship in four years. It seems like yesterday that I wondered if the Sox would break the curse in my lifetime.

THE GREAT MAINE OUTDOORS

The great outdoors of Maine affords us opportunities we sometimes take for granted. Whether it is hiking our favorite mountain, swimming in the ocean or in one of Maine's many lakes or, for some, heading out into the wilderness on an annual hunting trip.

We are pleased to announce we have added a new section dedicated to outdoor sportsmen and their adventures. The first contribution is a new column called Field in the Field by David Field. David will periodically share his adventures with us. His first installment follows him on a great Maine tradition, the fall hunting trip.

We are looking for others who would share in this type of sport and want to share your stories with us too.

THE GREATEST GAME ON EARTH

October 12, 2007

I don’t think there is a high school athletic experience that can rival a Friday night football game. Even as a basketball guy, I would admit that the most fun I ever had was on the gridiron. There was always something exciting about the cool fall air, the blaring music on the loud speaker, and the huge crowds that fill most high school stadiums in Maine. I will never forget the experience of playing Biddeford at Waterhouse Field and having 4000 fans taunt us before each snap. They were so crazy back then. And it wasn’t just the varsity teams that Tiger fans went after. I once got heckled by an elderly Biddeford man after losing an eighth grade game at Waterhouse. I was walking to the bus with a friend and the man yelled, “Hey, why don’t you bring your freshmen team down here and we will beat them too.” It was intimidating, but I loved it. What I would do for just one more game. Read Column

2007 HOMECOMING

Fall is the greatest season of the year. The air gets crisp, apples need to be picked and the grass even smells better. Maybe my affection for fall sports, specifically football and soccer that has something to do with the last item. View Pictures
