Boys’ lacrosse: Falmouth-Cape game could be state final preview
Unbeaten Berwick Academy, which typically plays in a private school league, also will be a factor in the Class A title hunt.
Ben Raymond’s Cape Elizabeth boys’ lacrosse team has outscored opponents 142-32 in eight games this season.

To an outside observer, Saturday’s Class A boys’ lacrosse game pitting unbeaten Falmouth (7-0 in the North) at unbeaten Cape Elizabeth (8-0 in the South) looks like a state championship preview.
Cape Elizabeth Coach Ben Raymond doesn’t see it that way. Even though his team has outscored its opponents 142-32 including a 17-2 win Tuesday at two-time defending state champion Thornton Academy, he said there are obstacles in Class A South.

Chamber of Commerce awarded funds to support tourism
Kennebec Valley Tourism Council (KVTC) has awarded sponsorship support funds in the amount of $1,662.50 to Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce for the Taste of Waterville to assist in the growth of tourism in Maine’s Kennebec Valley and produce a positive economic impact on the region.
Mid-Maine Chamber was one of 12 sponsorship recipients awarded as part of the 2021 KVTC marketing partnership program. In total, the 2021 KVTC sponsorship support application requests reached nearly $29,100. The organization was unable to fully fund all regional sponsorship requests to its members this year. However, with the help of Brookfield Renewable U.S., KVTC was able to fund $19,351.50. KVTC is excited to award sponsorships to local organizations who are helping KVTC promote the Kennebec Valley region as a destination place with their own marketing initiatives.

Maine high school track and field state meets will go forward on June 5, marking the first time state championships will be held for running events since February 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. And the three meets will look remarkably like outdoor state championships of the past.
The Maine Principals’ Association’s Track and Field Committee hashed out the format for the Class A, B and C state meets on Thursday, overwhelmingly agreeing on fairly minor changes in an effort to assure the events are in line with state health guidelines.
