Falmouth’s Gio Guerrette breaks free for an 80-yard touchdown run in the a 26-13 lead in the third quarter. Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Portland Press Herald Seeing the Wells Warriors win another state football championship was nothing new. As for the other 11-man teams that brought home Gold Balls on Saturday? It had been a long time coming. Portland (Class A) and Fryeburg Academy (Class C) ended state title droughts of 22 and 59 years with their respective championship game wins. In Class B, Falmouth took down Kennebunk, 26-13, to win the first Gold Ball in program history. “The ability to bring the first Gold Ball to Falmouth, it just feels incredible,” Spencer Emerson, the Navigators’ first-year head coach, said Monday. “I think it’s starting to sink in a little bit, but it’s still pretty unreal. I’m just really, really proud of our guys and what they accomplished.” Fryeburg’s 28-0 shutout of Hermon in the Class C title game marked the Raiders’ first state championship since winning two in three years in 1963 and 1965, when state titles were decided by regular season records. Portland’s drought might pale in comparison to those of Falmouth and Fryeburg, but the Bulldogs’ 35-14 victory over Thornton Academy in Class A still marked the first title since the current players were born. It also ended the team’s streak of five straight state championship game losses (2015, ’16, ’18, ’22, ’23). “It means everything to these guys,” said Portland Coach Sean Green. “It was tough (losing to Thornton in the state championship game) last year – we felt we were the best team in the state – but this group this year was a little bit different; they had that ‘it’ factor to them.” Unlike the other Gold Ball winners, though, Saturday’s win wasn’t the end of Portland’s season. The Bulldogs will be back at Fitzpatrick Stadium on Thursday to face Deering (8-2) in the 112th edition of the traditional Thanksgiving Day rivalry game. Portland leads the all-time series 62-42-7. “It’s unique in Maine, and it’s a game these boys come to look forward to and expect every year,” Green said. “(Deering) has a great football team, and they’re going to be a challenge. ... I know we’re excited to play together as a team one last time.” ONE OF THE YOUNGEST players on Portland’s defense Saturday afternoon was also one of its most impactful. Portland’s Alex Martin tackles Thornton Academy Wyatt Benoit during Saturday’s Class A title game. Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Portland Press Herald Sophomore outside linebacker Alex Martin wreaked havoc against Thornton Academy, flying to the ball, blowing plays up in the backfield and helping prevent the Golden Trojans from finding offensive rhythm in the Class A final. In the second quarter, with the Bulldogs ahead 6-0, Martin helped stuff Mauricio Sunderland for a loss of 2 yards on a second-and-10 carry from the Portland 13, then brought down quarterback Wyatt Benoit on a keeper for a loss of 2 yards to force a fourth-and-long that the Trojans failed to convert. Martin wasn’t finished, adding a sack of Benoit on third-and-4 from the Portland 18 in the third quarter, again setting the stage for a turnover on downs. Early in the fourth, he brought down Sunderland for a loss of 3 yards, and later in that same drive, he sacked Benoit for a loss of 14 yards. “It’s the whole team. We just execute in practice, Coach puts up the great plays and writes up everything we need,” Martin said. “I knew I was going to come up and be a big-time player. I had to help the team as much as I could. It worked out.” Green praised Martin’s work ethic for making him the disruptive player he was in the season’s biggest game. “Alex Martin’s a tremendous football player,” he said. “He’s a two-way starter for us, he plays on all the special teams units, and he’s just a kid that shows up every day and does his job – he certainly did that today. Kids that work as hard as he does, you like to see it pay off for them, and it certainly did.” Eddie Yin, left, and Anton Kravchuk of Fryeburg Acadmy celebrate after the Raiders beat Hermon, 28-0, in the Class C state championship game on Saturday in Lewiston. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal ANY LIST OF THE TOP postseason runs in the history of Maine high school football should include the 2024 Fryeburg Raiders. The win over Hermon on Saturday at Lewiston High School completed a stretch of three straight postseason shutouts for the Raiders. They joined Cheverus in 2021 as the only two teams since 1982 Winslow in the Pine Tree Conference Class A (now B) to hold foes scoreless across multiple playoff games. Fryeburg (9-2) did so by focusing on Hermon’s ground game. Max Hopkins gained only 42 rushing yards on 16 carries for the Hawks (8-3), and Bruce Coulter, one of Class C’s top backs, was held to 24 yards on nine carries. “We stopped the run; we knew they were going to do it, and we stopped it,” said Fryeburg junior Ty Boone. “We practiced all week – we were prepared all week – and we just came out here, and we executed.” Fryeburg, the top seed in Class C South, opened the playoffs with a 48-0 victory over York in the regional semis. The Raiders then defeated Leavitt 38-0 in the Southern Maine title game , avenging a 2023 C South final loss in which they led by multiple scores late before the Hornets pulled out a 36-32 win that motivated Fryeburg for the next 12 months. “I’ve dreamed of that day for one year,” said Fryeburg senior Daniel Ruiz. “I had in my mind that we were going to come (back) here – that I was going to work my ass off and that we were going to come here and win.” Eli Potter of Wells carries the ball behind the blocking of Keegan Roberge during the Class D state championship game against Foxcroft Academy. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal IT WAS FITTING for Wells to follow Fryeburg’s Class C win with a 34-0 triumph over Foxcroft on the same field in the Class D title game. The Warriors’ only close game all year, after all, was a 21-20 victory against Fryeburg on Oct. 18. (Fryeburg’s only other setback was a 15-14 loss to Class B champ Falmouth on Sept. 27.) Like the Raiders, Saturday’s win capped off an impressive postseason run for Wells (11-0). The Warriors defeated Oak Hill, 55-14, in the D South semis and Winthrop, 35-7, in the regional title game before claiming their second consecutive Gold Ball and stretching their winning streak to 22 games. Foxcroft entered the Class C final unbeaten and had given up an average of just 7.7 points per game and held foes to one score or fewer in eight of its 11 contests. Wells made that stingy defense crumble as Eli Potter (185) and Dom Buxton (144) combined for 329 rushing yards. “Our O-line was incredible,” Potter said. “They worked hard, and I’d say this was our best performance of the entire year. They opened up the holes, and all we’ve got to do is run hard and get our feet going, and we’ll get through.” We invite you to add your comments.

By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Andrew Ferguson as the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission . He will replace Lina Khan, who became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by blocking billions of dollars’ worth of corporate acquisitions and suing Amazon and Meta while alleging anticompetitive behavior . Ferguson is already one of the FTC’s five commissioners, which is currently made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Andrew will be the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country’s History.” Related Articles National Politics | Donald Trump is returning to the world stage.

The new chair is expected to appoint new directors of the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions. “These changes likely will make the FTC more favorable to business than it has been in recent years, though the extent to which is to be determined,” wrote Anthony DiResta, a consumer protection attorney at Holland & Knight, in a recent analysis . Deals that were blocked by the Biden administration could find new life with Trump in command. For example, the new leadership could be more open to a proposed merger between the country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Kroger and Albertsons, which forged a $24.6 billion deal to combine in 2022. Two judges halted the merger Tuesday night. The FTC had filed a lawsuit in federal court earlier this year to block the merger, claiming the deal would eliminate competition, leading to higher prices and lower wages for workers. The two companies say a merger would help them lower prices and compete against bigger rivals like Walmart. One of the judges said the FTC had shown it was likely to prevail in the administrative hearing. Yet given the widespread public concern over high grocery prices, the Trump administration may not fully abandon the FTC’s efforts to block the deal, some experts have said. And the FTC may continue to scrutinize Big Tech firms for any anticompetitive behavior. Many Republican politicians have accused firms such as Meta of censoring conservative views, and some officials in Trump’s orbit, most notably Vice President-elect JD Vance, have previously expressed support for Khan’s scrutiny of Big Tech firms. In addition to Fergson, Trump also announced Tuesday that he had selected Jacob Helberg as the next undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment.I’m obsessed with period dramas – viewers saying Wolf Hall is ‘boring and slow’ are wrong, here’s why

Jets' Ulbrich says Rodgers 'absolutely' remains the team's starting quarterbackWASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday reached a required agreement with President Joe Biden’s White House to allow his transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The congressionally mandated agreement allows transition aides to work with federal agencies and access non-public information and gives a green light to government workers to talk to the transition team. But Trump has declined to sign a separate agreement with the General Services Administration that would have given his team access to secure government offices and email accounts, in part because it would require that the president-elect reveal who is donating to his transition effort. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. The agreement is a critical step in ensuring an orderly transfer of power at noon on Inauguration Day, and lays the groundwork for the White House and government agencies to begin to share details on ongoing programs, operations and threats. It limits the risk that the Trump team could find itself taking control of the massive federal government without briefings and documents from the outgoing administration. As part of the agreement with the White House, Trump’s team will have to publicly disclose its ethics plan for the transition operation and make a commitment to uphold it, the White House said. Transition aides must sign statements that they have no financial positions that could pose a conflict of interest before they receive access to non-public federal information. Biden himself raised the agreement with Trump when they met in the Oval Office on Nov. 13, according to the White House, and Trump indicated that his team was working to get it signed. Trump chief of staff-designate Susie Wiles met with Biden's chief of staff Jeff Zients at the White House on Nov. 19 and other senior officials in part to discuss remaining holdups, while lawyers for the two sides have spoken more than a half-dozen times in recent days to finalize the agreement. “Like President Biden said to the American people from the Rose Garden and directly to President-elect Trump, he is committed to an orderly transition,” said White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma. “President-elect Trump and his team will be in seat on January 20 at 12 pm – and they will immediately be responsible for a range of domestic and global challenges, foreseen and unforeseen. A smooth transition is critical to the safety and security of the American people who are counting on their leaders to be responsible and prepared.” Without the signed agreement, Biden administration officials were restricted in what they could share with the incoming team. Trump national security adviser-designate Rep. Mike Waltz met recently with Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, but the outgoing team was limited in what it could discuss. “We are doing everything that we can to effect a professional and an orderly transition,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday. “And we continue to urge the incoming team to take the steps that are necessary to be able to facilitate that on their end as well.” “This engagement allows our intended Cabinet nominees to begin critical preparations, including the deployment of landing teams to every department and agency, and complete the orderly transition of power,” said Wiles in a statement. A separate agreement with the Department of Justice to coordinate background checks for vetting and security clearances is still being actively worked on and could be signed quickly now that the White House agreement is signed. The agency has teams of investigators standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers once that document is signed. That would clear the way for transition aides and future administration appointees and nominees to begin accessing classified information before Trump takes office. Some Trump aides may hold active clearances from his first term in office or other government roles, but others will need new clearances to access classified data. Trump's team on Friday formally told the GSA that they would not utilize the government office space blocks from the White House reserved for their use, or government email accounts, phones and computers during the transition. The White House said it does not agree with Trump’s decision to forgo support from the GSA, but is working on alternate ways to get Trump appointees the information they need without jeopardizing national security. Federal agencies are receiving guidance on Tuesday on how to share sensitive information with the Trump team without jeopardizing national security or non-public information. For instance, agencies may require in-person meetings and document reviews since the Trump team has declined to shift to using secure phones and computers. For unclassified information, agencies may ask Trump transition staff to attest that they are taking basic safeguards, like using two-factor authentication on their accounts.

FIREWORKS exploded right over David Raya in shocking scenes during Arsenal's Champions League clash at Sporting. The Gunners blitzed into an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz. David Raya had not been threatened by Viktor Gyokeres or any of the Sporting players. But on 25 minutes, various fireworks, flares and smoke bombs were set off over the Arsenal penalty area. The pyrotechnics were not shown by the TNT Sport cameras but commentator Darren Fletcher referenced them. And he was surprised the referee did not stop play and take the two teams off the field. READ MORE ON ARSENAL Videos quickly circulated on social media of the fireworks. The clips showed the explosives being launched out from the stand behind Raya and flashing into bursts of light. Another revealed the magnitude of the green and white smoke wafting across the pitch. Within minutes, clouds covered the pitch in Lisbon. Most read in Football FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS One supporter said: "Fireworks and flares set off aimed at Raya and the back four. That's gotta be a ban surely." However, jubilant Arsenal fans inside the ground chanted: "We want more fireworks," as they watched their side put on a spectacular performance . SunSport has contacted Uefa for comment but it is likely the Portuguese club could land in hot water with the authorities over the safety breach. Martinelli turned home with just seven minutes on the clock. And Havertz doubled the visitors' lead on 22 minutes, tapping in after fine work from Thomas Partey and Bukayo Saka. Then Gabriel made it 3-0 with the final touch of the first half, thumping in yet another header from a dangerous inswinging Declan Rice corner. However, Sporting pulled one back immediately after the break.

A federal jury in Marshall, Texas, on Friday awarded computer memory company Netlist $118 million in damages from Samsung Electronics in a patent lawsuit over technology for improving data processing in high-performance memory products. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results The verdict follows a $303 million verdict against Samsung for Irvine, California-based Netlist in a related case last year. Netlist also won $445 million from chipmaker Micron in May in a separate lawsuit over some of the same patents. Spokespeople for Samsung and Netlist did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the Friday verdict. The jury also determined that Samsung's infringement was willful, which could lead to a judge increasing the award by up to three times. Netlist sued Samsung in 2022, alleging that the Korean tech giant's memory modules used in cloud computing servers and other data-intensive technology infringed its patents. Netlist said its innovations increase the power efficiency of memory modules and enable users to "derive useful information from vast amounts of data in a shorter period."

Second half Halftime: Syracuse 47, Albany 34 A major boost off the bench for Syracuse has helped them capture a double digit lead against the University of Albany. The Orange have 22 bench points at the break. The majority of the scoring has come from guard Kyle Cuffe who has 10 points and is perfect from the field. Donnie Freeman, who came off the bench in this one, has six points. Freeman did not start the game as a result of a personal issue. Coach Adrian Autry also elected to start freshman Elijah Moore for the first time this season. The game had been close for the first ten or so minutes of action. But it was Syracuse who managed to continually get high percentage shots at the rim. They shot nearly 60 percent from the field in the first half, and a lot of that was due to SU’s shot selection. 34 points for the home team came in the paint. If Albany has any chance of getting the win, they will have to find a way to slow down Syracuse’s offense. The Orange has 12 assists right now as a team. They average around 14 per game, so they are certainly operating at a high level right now on that side of the ball. Albany guards Amar’e Marshall and Kheni Briggs each have seven to lead the Great Danes. First half Lampkin finds Freeman cutting down low for a dunk. The center is up to three assists so far. Moore turns down the jumper and scores the reverse layup. Lampkin tip-toes the baseline to finish from underneath the basket. The big then finds a cutting Bell for the and-one finish. 3:49 remaining: Syracuse 38, Albany 28 Cuffe knocks down a pair at the line. Eddie Lampkin throws a touch pass to Davis for the dunk. Cuffe finishes with the contact in transition, up to ten points in the contest off the bench. 6:28 remaining: Syracuse 32, Albany 24 Carlos finds Freeman cutting for a two-handed slam dunk out of the time out. The guard then gets to the rim himself and scores the layup. Moore fakes out the defender with the shot fake before going up-an-under with the reverse layup. Kyle Cuffe Jr. knocks down the triple in some rare early minutes. Majstorovic deflects the pass, tracks it down the length of the floor before Freeman gets the ball and dunks it. Cuffe knocks down his second triple of the game. Big boost off the bench for SU so far. 11:40 remaining: Syracuse 14, Albany 14 Freeman checks into the game with 14:38 remaining in the first half. Davis bullies his way inside to finish off the drop-step move. Six early points for him. Elijah Moore follows up his own missed shot, grabbed the rebound, and then went up for another jumper that he knocked down. He struggled last game after back-to-back games dropping career-highs. Bell scores inside for his second basket. Petar Majstorovic scores the short jumper from about 10 feet out. Officials review an earlier 3 and change it to a 2-point basket. 15:54 remaining: Albany 9, Syracuse 7 Jyare Davis scores his first basket with a finish inside. Three Syracuse turnovers in the first two and a half minutes against an Albany team that isn’t particularly stalwarts on the defensive end. Jaquan Carlos finds Davis cutting baseline for the alley-oop slam over the defender. Chris Bell knocks down his first 3 of the night. The Orange as a whole didn’t make a single triple in its last time out against Notre Dame. Pregame Update: 6:45 p.m.: Adrian Autry has shuffled his starting lineup, inserting Elijah Moore for Lucas Taylor and Jyare Davis for Donnie Freeman. Freeman is not in the starting lineup as a result of a personal issue. Syracuse (4-4) returns home to the Dome to face the University at Albany (6-4). Despite the two programs being just two hours away, the last time they met was during the 2011-12 season. That matchup saw the Orange handily defeat the Great Danes, 98-74, and historically the series has followed that same trend. SU has won all eight prior matchups in a series that goes all the way back to 1918. The Orange, however, haven’t been as successful in recent outings overall. They recently lost 69-64 against Notre Dame. The game was the second in a row without the services of guard J.J. Starling. Both Donnie Freeman and Jyare Davis scored 20 points a piece in the loss. For UAlbany, they are coming off an 80-74 overtime loss to Boston University over the weekend. Offensively, this team can attack from a bunch of different angles. Four players average 10 or more points for the Great Danes, headlined by Byron Joshua who averages 13.6 points per game. One Thing To Keep An Eye On: Can SU Stay Undefeated At Home? Syracuse has played its best basketball on the Dome floor. All four of its wins this season have been at home. Although the injury to Starling will definitely be apparent at times offensively, the Orange will rely on its fans to give it the extra boost it needs to stay unbeaten at home.
