  • Malta looks to add hardware for fourth straight year

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Malta Mustangs were young last year and weren't expected to make it to the Northern B Divisionals, let alone state. Then the team showed resilience behind seniors Zach Handley and Troy Manoukian, who led the team to a third place finish at the 2014 State B Tournament. The team won two straight state championships in 2012 and 2013. "I know these guys have pretty high expectations," said Malta Head Coach David Costin. "The varsity teams throughout their high school career have been...

  • Saco/Whitewater Lady Panthers

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Saco-Whitewater Panthers are back and just as ferocious as ever. Last season their state title chase ended after two games in the State C Tournament. Those loses were to Belt in the semi-final round and Winnett-Grass Range in the opening elimination game. With those losses fresh in the memory of Saco-Whitewater's returning players, the team is focused. "When we left state, we felt that we didn't play our best at state. We made it up in our minds that this season is a season that we are...

  • Dodson Coyote Basketball 2015

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Dodson Coyotes had a season to forget last year, failing to post a single win. The "new look Coyotes" have brand new uniforms and a different swagger. They are a lot younger without Jesse Stephens, Nick Bear and Travis Scheffelmear who the team lost to graduation, but they have high aspirations. "I'm actually excited. I believe these kids can run with anyone," Coach Wes Kill Eagle told the PCN. Trevor Banyai is the team's lone senior, was aggressive last year defensively and has a great...

  • M-ette Basketball 2015

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Malta M-ettes had a stellar year, that ended in the State B Championship game in Bozeman. Ultimately things did not go the way the team wanted, they lost a heartbreaking double overtime game to the Fairfield Eagles. "You don't go as far as you did last year, and bring the same kids back and have your goal be less than what you did last year," said second year M-ette Head Coach Nate Hammond. "Our goal this year is to win the state championship." He noted that the team will have lots of goals...

  • Saco/ Whitewater Basketball 2015

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Saco-Whitewater Panthers look stronger than they have in the past few seasons, posting an impressive and unforeseen 69-48 victory over Nashua at the Glasgow Showcase last weekend. This young team did something that game that has been missing over the last couple of years.... They played four solid quarters of basketball. If they can keep it up all season long, they may get past the district tournament and threaten Class C with a state appearance. Scoring 20 points in their victory against...

  • Dodson Lady Coyote Basketball

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Dodson Lady Coyotes came on strong last season, finishing third in 3-C basketball and earning a berth in the divisional playoffs. "It was our first divisional appearance in ten years, so we were pretty proud of that," said second year Lady Coyotes Head Coach Brandy Hunter. The team lost out in divisionals and many returning athletes still have the taste of defeat in their mouths, but they plan on improving this season. "We did talk about last season and how we weren't mentally prepared...

  • Malta Mustang Wrestling 2015

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Dec 10, 2014

    The Malta Mustangs wrestling team is young this year, but already looking to make it's presence felt. The team brings back three state performers, including junior Antonio Lopez, who placed fourth at the State B Wrestling Tournament in the 195 pound weight class. Lopez, this year will wrestle in the 205 class. "He's a tough competitor," said Coach Ryan LaBrie. "He's just a junior this year but he's been tough on the mat the last couple of years." It helps that Lopez is one of many Mustangs that...
