Start of a new season

Now that I'm all thawed out after a day of covering the high school football championships, it's time to start a new season.

Practices for winter sports - basketball, ice hockey, skiing, swimming, indoor track and wrestling – start today but two football games remain.

Deering and Portland play Thursday morning at Fitzpatrick Stadium in the annual Thanksgiving Day game. Gardiner, the Class B champion, faces Cony on Friday in another one of the state's biggest rivalries.

Bonny Eagle finished the season ranked in MaxPreps.com's national high school football poll. The Scots, who defeated Lawrence 34-14 for the Class A championship, are ranked No. 37 in the nation.
