📰 News we're reading

• What we learned on Day 1 of fall sports practices in the Seacoast (seacoastonline.com) — Hampton's Winnacunnet girls soccer and field hockey teams kicked off preseason Monday with championship-level energy, fresh off deep playoff runs. Coaches say returning captains are setting the tone with conditioning, leadership, and a focus on building a new identity rather than dwelling on last year's success. Around the Seacoast, Exeter, Portsmouth/Oyster River, St. Thomas, Oyster River, Marshwood, Traip and others also opened fall practices with big expectations.
