The Boothbay Region Seahawks field hockey team won its second straight game to open the 2025 season, easily defeating the Telstar Rebels (0-2) in Bethel, 10-0, on Monday, Sept. 8.

A new year, a new look.

In a reversal from last season, the Boothbay Region Seahawks used their speed and improved ball movement, as well as a tough defense, against the visiting Dirigo Cougars to win their first game of the season, 3-1, on Perkins Field Friday, Sept. 5.

Last season, the Cougars had the speed, defense and experience in shutting out the Seahawks twice.

The teams were getting their first-game familiarity out of the way in the first half as the game remained scoreless after 30 minutes.…

The Boothbay Region High School football game at Telstar (Bethel) on Saturday, Sept. 6 has been rescheduled for 11 a.m. instead of 1 p.m. due to the forecast of afternoon thunderstorms, according to BRHS Athletic Director Allan Crocker. The bus will now depart from BRHS at 7 a.m.

Wiscasset Speedway opened up their gates on Saturday, Aug. 30 for one of their biggest race events of the year: the doubleheader Boss Hogg 150 weekend.

Saturday’s program began before any cars hit the track as Team Wiscasset hosted their annual “Racin’ Cancer” walk/bike, benefiting the Dean Snell Cancer Foundation. Dozens of people participated, fundraising for the local organization that helps Maine cancer patients in need.

If the mild summer weather wasn't enough to make you smile, this year's Boothbay football team has about 30 more reasons. The 2025 season marks Boothbay's seventh in 8-man football, and this year's roster has a remarkable 30 players and counting. On Aug. 28, the Seahawks had 28 players participating in unpadded practice prior to the team's Aug. 29 scrimmage in Yarmouth, and Coach Ed Crocker estimated two or three more would likely begin participation next week.

Jax van der Veen was the new head coach of the Boothbay Region High School field hockey team in 2024. Inheriting a team which lost seven seniors, she led the Seahawks to a 5-10 record and a quarterfinal appearance in the Class C South tournament where they fell to four-time state champion Winthrop-Maranacook. Wins were recorded over Mountain Valley, Telstar, Oak Hill, Spruce Mountain and Lisbon.
