GREENFORD – Brookfield’s scrappy play made things interesting but in the end South Range’s experience on the big stage handed the Raiders their second consecutive Div. III district girls basketball championship with a 41-30 victory on Saturday.
The end result was something the Raiders expect as the program has flourished.
“We have kind of set the standard now that this is the game we want to be in every year as a program,” Raiders coach Jeff Fishel said. “Everyone has talked about COVID and adversity, and we have dealt with COVID, shutdowns, and some serious injuries. We probably had more adversity than any team around here, and for us to get through that and be able to cut the nets down on our home court is something these girls will never forget. I’m super proud of them.”
SACKVILLE, N.B. A group of Mount Allison University students in New Brunswick has launched a new program in hopes to ease loneliness and isolation among seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Third-year university student Hannah Crouse says she noticed a trend last year when volunteering to deliver food to seniors in need. These seniors were quite lonely. Perhaps some were a little nervous to go out to grocery stores and those sorts of things with the pandemic, but the biggest thing we saw was the social isolation, said Crouse. The program, called Community Connects, pairs university students with seniors in the community who then get together once a week to share a meal.
