“We played with heart.” That comment by Muskie soccer co-captain Andrew Curr just moments after the team’s season—and his career with the black-and-gold—ended on a warm and windy Saturday afternoon in Wawa.

If you’d asked me last week what I thought the most important thing about golf was, I would have said hitting the ball through the air in the general direction of the green. I would have been wrong. Not knowing a thing about golfing, I set off to Kitchen Creek […]
