Home sweet homecoming for two of three Windjammer squads

ROCKPORT — There is nothing to bring high school athletic teams and their adoring fans together better than good old-fashioned homecoming games. That is especially true when the hosts find ways to finish on top.

That was the case for the Camden Hills soccer teams on Saturday, Oct. 9, while the Windjammer field hockey squad came up a bit short.

The day concluded with three shutouts — as the soccer teams benefitted from those results — as the Windjammer boys booted past Oxford Hills of South Paris 6-0 and girls netted a 3-0 victory over Mount Ararat of Topsham.

Additionally that day, Windjammer field hockey came up on the short end of a 2-0 score against Brunswick.
