  • Full-court, full-throttle defense ends Pioneers’ season

    BY JERRY LIPTAKThey started fast. They were finished quicker. The girls of Trinity High basketball jumped to a 5-0 edge over top-seeded Winnacunnet.

  • Blue Knights make the grade in win

    BY RYAN O’CONNORIn its fourth game, the West boys basketball team entered the contest needing a victory to match its 2006-07 win total.
