In local high school sports, this week looks packed with exciting matchups and competitions across various teams. Here’s a look at some of the prominent games taking place in the area.
Mt. Blue at Messalonskee Field Hockey
Scheduled for 5 p.m. on Monday, the Eagles, currently standing at 6-2, are on a hot streak, having won five straight games. This includes a thrilling overtime victory against last year’s A North champions, Skowhegan, and another against the contender, Brewer. The Cougars, also 6-2, are proving to be a strong team but have faced tough losses to Skowhegan and Mt. Ararat, both by just one goal.
Belfast vs. Cony Field Hockey
At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, another exciting matchup is on the horizon when the Rams, boasting an impressive record of 8-2, host the Lions, who are 9-1. The Rams are on fire, having won seven games in a row and scoring 41 goals in their last three matches. The Lions are also riding a seven-game winning streak, highlighted by a dominant 7-0 victory over Messalonskee.
Portland at Windham Boys’ Soccer
This Friday at 6:30 p.m., fans of soccer can head out for a thrilling rematch as Portland takes on Windham. This game is not just another regular season matchup; it’s a chance at revenge for Windham, who lost to Portland in last year’s Class A South semifinal after a dramatic shootout. With both teams ranked in the top four, the match is sure to deliver excitement.
State Golf Championships
This weekend, on Friday and Saturday, the state golf championships will feature some notable players. Jade Haylock aims to win her fourth Class B individual girls championship after a remarkable season. Meanwhile, Alexis McCormick of Oxford Hills seeks to claim her second consecutive Class A individual girls title. St. Dom’s is also in the mix, looking to defend their title as Class C champions.
Leavitt at Freeport Field Hockey
On Saturday at 11:30 a.m., an undefeated showdown will occur when the reigning state champion Falcons, sitting at 8-0, host the Hornets, who are 10-0. This matchup is crucial as it features the only two Class B teams entering the week without a loss. Both squads face tough tests earlier in the week, with Freeport playing Mt. Ararat and Leavitt visiting Belfast.
As the local high school teams gear up for these important events, all eyes will be on the players to see who can keep their winning streaks alive and make unforgettable plays on the field.
