Time change

Check your calendars, kids. The start time of Saturday's Biddeford-Portland hockey game at the Portland Ice Arena has been rescheduled to 8:10 p.m.

Two Fitzpatrick Trophy facts, in preparation for Sunday's presentation of the honor, which goes to the state's top senior football player:

Before previous Fitzpatrick Trophy winners presented the award, presenters included former state governors, New England Patriots, a University of Maine chancellor and former U.S. Senator George J. Mitchell. You might be familiar with some of Mitchell's recent work regarding Major League Baseball, but also his work as the chairman of historic peace negotiations in Northern Ireland in 1998.

1996 was the first year that players from all three classifications could be considered for the award. Since then, only two winners have come from Classes B and C - the late Lee St. Hilaire of Winthrop in 2001 and Nick Tymoczko of Bucksport in 2004.

Rachel is in her fourth year as a sports reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. A Maryland native and a former college soccer and softball player, she covered high school and college sports at newspapers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado before joining the Press Herald/Sunday Telegram staff in June of 2004.

She grew up watching the NHL, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Georgetown basketball and the Baltimore Orioles and is a confessed sports nut. Her interests include reading and movies, going to the gym, Motown and '70s R&B music and following the New York City tabloids.

Married in July, she and her husband Tommy are avid Steelers and Kansas Jayhawks fans. Their toughest decision as newlyweds has been "NESN or ESPN?"
