A single mother in Oakhurst lost a lot but has some help coming her way.
A 75-foot pine tree crashed into Jessica Reed s Oakhurst home just as the man finishing off her remodeling stepped outside. He said he heard the snap and looked up and the tree was coming down, Reed said. And he backed up and limbs started hitting him.
Limbs poked through the ceiling and one of them missed her 9-year-old daughter s bed by just a few feet. I looked up and there was a huge hole, said Rylee Reed.
High schools: Pembroke Academy boys’ hoop downs MV in opener

Junior Mike Pitman hit some big shots down the stretch and finished with 16 points to lead the Pembroke Academy boys’ basketball team to a season-opening 49-39 win on Wednesday night against Merrimack Valley.
Pembroke had been scheduled to play against Hillsboro-Deering, but the start of H-D’s season was delayed due to health concerns. MV stepped into the void to play against its Capital-area rival. PA and MV will play again on Jan. 25 and Jan. 28. Hillsboro-Deering is scheduled to open its season on Jan. 19 at Kearsarge.
The Pride went up early behind senior Griffin Wheeler (17 points), but the Spartans used an 8-0 second quarter run to take a lead they would hold for the rest of the game. Preston Wallis finished with nine points for PA, Alex Francoer had eight and Cooper Gilman connected on some late buckets to wind up with seven points.
