It is great to see such a large group of our Easton students involved in sports. They all do a great job and deserve our praise. Look in a future issue of the paper for the senior boys who were honored. We appreciate you all and a giant thank you for all the hard work and many practices you have put in. A job well done. Hope to see you all in Bangor. Good luck to the Easton Lady Bears and the Easton Bears. We’re behind you cheering you on.
