Year-end awards

Thanks to an amazing late run of votes, the winner of the OTS poll: What was the top sports team in Northwestern Vermont in 2009?" was ...

The BFA-St. Albans girls basketball team.

Here are the final votes (There were exactly 100 votes cast)

BFA-St. Albans girls basketball - Division I runners-up 56%

Missisquoi boys soccer - Division II runners-up 18%

BFA-Fairfax boys basketball - Division III runners-up 10%

Milton girls soccer - Division II champs 8%

Missisquoi girls hockey - Division II runners-up 3%

BFA-Fairfax girls soccer - Division III runners-up 2%

BFA-Fairfax softball - Division III runners-up 2%

Milton Broncos 7/8 Youth Football - NVYFL runners-up 1%

If you want to read about some year-end awards that I handed out, here's a story I posted on examiner.com

Four on the floor ... and the ice?

Happy New Year one and all!

OK, now that the holidays are officially over, it's time to get back to work.

I'm contemplating a four-bagger today.

I'm going to start at BFA-Fairfax-Richford boys basketball, mosey on down to Essex for the Hornets and Redhawks' girls hockey game and then head back to balmy Highgate for the Spaulding-MVU girls hockey tussle. If I'm still in the mood, I'm thinking I might take in the final period of the Rice-BFA-St. Albans boys hockey game at The Doc.

It's resolution time and mine are to blog more, gripe less and to remember to be more thankful.

How about you?
