WILLIAMSTOWN, Vt. The Thetford Academy girls basketball team isn’t afraid of a little hard work. After all, it sometimes comes with victorious benefits.
Riding a season-high 15 points from Kelsey Smith, the Panthers muscled their way to a 50-38 win over Williamstown on Monday night. A few days after struggling for a half in a 14-point loss at Windsor, Thetford (4-3) toughed out a victory against a team that rarely yields them willingly.
“It was a grind-out game,” TA coach Eric Ward said. “Williamstown made us work. We are just a bit off but know, with a good week of practice, we will be ready for Rivendell on Saturday and the playoffs starting next week.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. As student athletes across the state return to the practice fields, student musicians are still forced to remain on the sidelines.
Katie Divett, drum major and senior at Sandia High School, said music activities have been part of her life for years.
“I ve been doing bands since I was in sixth grade, so middle school. I ve done marching band, symphonic band and jazz,” she said.
Like student athletes, student musicians also receive opportunities through their activities.
“Sports aren t the only ones with important scholarships this year. We have marching band scholarships, too,” Divett said.
