First time for everything

The high school basketball playoffs begin Tuesday with the boys and girls preliminary games.

For the first time in school history, the Cheverus girls basketball team qualified for the Western A playoffs as the 11th seed and face No. 6 Marshwood at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Of note – Cheverus became a co-educational school in 2000.

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?"
