Player of the Game
Jared Hafford, of Easton, was chosen Player of the Game, at a recent Mars Hill game, by a local radio station. Great job, Jared. We are very proud of you.
Bears beat Panthers
Congratulations to our Easton Bears for a great win over Mars Hill last week. It was a huge win for Easton. I believe it has been 11 years since Easton has beat the Panthers on the basketball court. Mars Hill played a very good game also. But it sure felt great beating them. I was told that Bears have never beat Mars Hill in that gym. Go Bears! We are very proud of all of you. Keep up the good work and we will see you all in Bangor.
Sympathy
Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Beaton family who lost two members of their family last week. Our community is deeply saddened by this loss. Our prayers are with you all.
Hafford recognized
Jared Hafford was named Player of the Game by WOZI radio station last week at Mars Hill. Easton won over Mars Hill for the first time in 11 years. Congratulations, Jared, for a fantastic game. We are very proud of you.
