Five Aroostook County teams were in action Saturday on the first full day of the tournament. Here are the results: In Class B, the Caribou Vikings defeated Winslow boys 63-61 Saturday to advance to the semifinals...

Six Aroostook County high school soccer teams will be battling to become Eastern Maine champions on Wednesday afternoon.

You might think that a young kid who tackles a knife-wielding bully would be hailed as a hero, but you'd be wrong. In Calgary, a 13-year-old was officially reprimanded for defending a classmate who was being threatened by a thug with a weapon.

Language teacher Maria C. Waltherr-Willard suffers from pedophobia, which means she is afraid of young children. When the 61-year-old is in the presence of the little tykes she experiences symptoms which include anxiety, chest pains and vomiting.

When it comes to the high school soccer season in Maine, the weak-hearted need not apply.  Through the heat, cold, wind, mud, rain and sometimes SNOW the teams have battled their way to the big showdown.
