Nothing But Nets
The Massabesic boys basketball team will play its alumni game at 4 p.m. Dec. 22 as a fundraiser for Nothing But Nets, an organization that raises money to buy and ship mosquito nets to families in Africa. The nets are designed to protect families from malaria.
Malaria, according to the World Health Organization, is both preventable and curable, but more than 500 million people each year contract malaria.
But Massabesic is going one better - the Mustangs also are holding a separate fundraiser to hand deliver the nets to families in Africa and to educate people on malaria and the importance of using the nets. Get your passports ready.

Emptying the notebook ...
The Scarborough hockey team has a familiar name in its lineup. Jacob Rutt transferred from St. Dominic and will be a junior defenseman for the Red Storm.
He's the younger brother of Jon Rutt, who was an All-State forward at St. Dominic in 2005 and now plays at the University of Southern Maine.

At Noble, the Knights indoor track team will be funded by the school for the first time and Knights coaches Lindsay Davis and Rodney Brown have at least 60 athletes in the program this season.

And from the "names and places" department ...
Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., has a women's basketball player named Kittery Maine.
No joke.
