Friends, rivals meet in Richford

I'm so old I remember when Cagney Brigham and Steve Jette were kids.

I covered their high school careers as sports editor at the St. Albans Messenger. (The photo I took of Cagney after the Division III baseball championship game is one I'm most proud of taking.)

But now these kids are men. They are still friends from their playing days at Enosburg and their short time coaching the Enosburg boys basketball team together.

Cagney now leads the Richford boys. Jette is still at the helm in the 'Burg.

Tuesday, they crossed paths professionally for the first time.

Here's an article I wrote on the pair for examiner.com.

And a slideshow from the game - hundreds of more photos will be on my website for instant 99-cent download later this week.

SHAWN CORROW, when he's not feeling older by the day, is owner of Cold Hollow Photography, maintains this blog and sometimes even updates his channel on Examiner.com. Have a story idea, please let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

Caption contest

Have a good caption for this photo of a Richford player chugging what appears to be maple syrup, but what is more likely water? Please leave it in the comment section below.I took this photo Saturday at the BFA-Fairfax-Richford boys basketball game.

I know there's a great caption for it, but I can't think of it.

The closest I could come was: Instead of steriods, athletes in Vermont have a different way of 'juicing' before they play.

If you can think of a better one (and it shouldn't be THAT hard) please add it into the comments below.

My favorite caption will be posted, along with the photo, on Examiner.com in the next couple of days.

Update on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 at 6:21PM by On the Sidelines

I posted the photo with a new caption on Examiner.com - I still know there's a better caption out there somewhere!
