Apr. 15—Alex Allain, Fryeburg Academy junior shortstop/pitcher: A two-time all-WMC selection, Allain hit .333 with three doubles and two home runs last season. He’s a key part of a deep pitching staff expected to be led by Brady Chappell.
Brady Batson, Massabesic senior pitcher: A key reason why the Mustangs went 10-8 in 2024, their best record in over 30 years, Batson was 5-0 with a 0.30 ERA and 50 strikeouts and earned first-team SMAA pitching honors.

Apr. 15—1. Gorham
Respect everyone, fear no one: That’s the Rams’ motto this year. Their pitchers will strike fear into opponents, though, especially 6-foot-6 senior righty Wyatt Nadeau. The Vanderbilt University commit’s fastball rests at 93-94 mph and he has an array of off-speed pitches. Sophomore reliever/infielder Hunter Finck is also touching 90 mph. There’s veteran depth in senior Jack Karlonas and juniors Casey Skolfield and Miles Brenner. Having versatile senior Mason Finck (.404, 10 RBI) behind the plate helps all of them.

Travis Hunter is more than ready for the NFL.
It is fair to say that we have not seen anything like Colorado superstar Travis Hunter.
Sure, there have been players who have played both ways before in football. It was never easy for any one of them and certainly hasn’t been for Hunter. He made it look that way though last season as he won the Heisman Trophy.
For so long it has been inevitable that Hunter will be a top pick in the NFL Draft and go on to be the center of his team. That is an insane kind of pressure.
Every year on April 15, Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day. And for good reason.
Robinson famously broke the color barrier, joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 and, despite racism in and outside the sport, having a Hall of Fame career. What Robinson went through was inexcusable, remarkably difficult, and obviously worth commemorating to ensure that discrimination is never repeated. It also bears zero resemblance to the modern political and racial landscape in the United States.
Just don’t tell delusional progressive sportswriters that.

Without a true season or playoffs, it’s sometimes difficult to separate week-to-week performances and premium live event showings for WWE superstars. In traditional sports, you can rattle off names of athletes who seemingly flipped a switch when it mattered most.
Caitlin Clark has been arguably the face of women’s basketball before she ever joined the WNBA. Since her time at Iowa, Clark’s incredible play and competitive nature have drawn unmatched crowds, so much so that even the Indiana Fever‘s preseason games are getting nationally televised now.
According to reports, the Fever’s upcoming exhibition game against Brazil’s national team on May 4 will be televised on ESPN, which would make it the first nationally televised WNBA exhibition game in history.
The hype surrounding this game is monumental.
