Voting is Open for the Spring Week 2 High School Athlete of the Week

Congratulations to the following High School Athletes who were nominated for the 92.9 The Ticket Spring Week 2 High School Athlete of Week for performances April 23rd -26th.

We need to give a special shout-out to Orono Baseball Players Jack Brewer and Zach Ryder. According to Orono Athletic Director Mike Archer

Had to share this story because we don't celebrate these kinds of happenings enough. On Wednesday, the varsity baseball team traveled to Blue Hill for our season opener against the GSA Eagles. Upon arrival, long time field maintenance manager and assistant coach, Billy Gray, was working on the field. A side note to this story is that the GSA AD and myself got our signals mixed on the official start time and needless to say, the Riots arrived in PLENTY of time to get ready. (I own it.). Noticing that Coach Gray had a lot of work that needed to be done, Orono seniors Jack Brewer and Zach Ryder, took the initiative to go out and help Bill load about twenty piles of grass into the bucket on his tractor to make sure the field was ready for the pregame. Bill Gray and Coach Kane are two of the best people one could ever meet. They were extremely appreciative of the help from the boys. Random acts of kindness go along way in this world. We need more of this in our lives. Thank you Jack and Zach for recognizing that you could make a difference that day. Your efforts were greatly appreciated.
