Sad news tonight. Travis Roy, a Mainer who inspired millions after a tragic accident in his first shift on the ice for Boston University has died. Roy, who grew up in Yarmouth and attended NYA became a driving force in raising awareness and money for paralysis causes.

Why were sports fans so angry with us this fall? In this installment of Take That! A troubling trend of negative feedback directed at 'yours truly' and what I think is behind it.
Kate Hall did it again with another national title in the long jump over the weekend--we caught up with Kate the Great on her spring break.
If you watch one story on Twitter today....
Yarmouth's Jared Conant's been a sideline presence for the Clippers for years. The Freshman with MS got playing time last night in his wheel chair. Nice gesture by Lake Region as well.
My 2-year old's batting stance bears quite a resemblance to hall of famer Jeff Bagwell. Not sure how this happened.
I've been a sportscaster for 25 years and from time to time have been prone to the giggles....but it's been a while...and last night, this was a tough hole to dig my way out.

As some of you know I grew up with Travis Roy, was two year ahead of him in school. When I would see him I'd remind him he broke up a no-hitter I was working on with 2 outs in the 6th in little league.I wanted to share this from an interview we did 5 year ago,it speaks for itself
If you followed the tournament then you probably know why this technical foul call is controversial...but here we go again.

Bonny Eagle a cool way to honor Zach Maturo's reaching 1,000 point milestone. They brought back 3 of the 4 other members of the school's 1,000 point club. Ben Malloy, James Cerino and Dustin Cole (who still gets a standing O). Darby Kopp is the other member

Wonder how fast Tre Fletcher can circle the bases? The scouts found out today when he hit a bomb to center for an inside the park home run. Oh, and we had him at 15.5 seconds. @DeeringAthletic

Dear ME HS B Officials. Sometimes you just let them play. Nobody gets hurt, and it's kind of fun to watch. This would have been 6 fouls in the games I saw yesterday/Saturday.
I don't think the dream of playing in a state final can be summed up any better than
Tacko Fall is here, and he has some cool things to say about dealing with his notoriety in New England.
Sportsmanship personified:
A hamstring injury sidelined Gorham's Andrew Farr all track season, hoping to qualify for states he re-injured the hamstring. Rather than celebrate his own victory, Isaac Ofeilu embraced Farr & gave him a motivational talk
For anyone in a state basketball final-nobody sums up the journey better than Lake Region's Alex Langadas did last year-worth another listen

A youth hockey official working games while with Covid-19, could it become a positive for winter sports? At the least, we hope there was no transmission to players and families, but what would no transmission say about how we treat indoor sports in Maine?
Sad news in Maine college hoops. Dick Meader, who spent 44 seasons coaching college basketball in Maine (27 at umf, 17 at thomas) passed away yesterday after suffering a stroke last week. Meader retired at UMF in 2020. He won 513 games in his career.

Remember all the indignation last fall about wanting to play sports and willing to do anything to play? Well, is everyone doing everything they can to play? Seems some people have changed their tune. Take That!
Edward Little coach Mike Adams hasn't missed a beat after off season heart surgery. The boys coach was closer to tragedy than he cares to think about. Now he's back coaching.
Off to a hot start, is the Big Ten Freshman of the week. She's only shooting %83 from the floor in 2 games, so I guess she has some room for improvement. But the 18.5 ppg. is pretty impressive.

How about this! Playing alongside a ton of Power5 recruits at the All America game in Orlando, Scarborough’s Jayden Flaker played DE for the first time ever,had a sack, pass block, 3 pressures a handful of tackles & he was the DEFENSIVE MVP of the game!
Maybe the best moment in sports the last four years. Congrats Jared!
