At Baxter we have kids from over 60 towns in Maine. So, this page is going to be less about high school sports and more about national sports. Should someone at Baxter play for a team that does something huge, like win States, we will do an article about them. Please, if you play sports tell us. We will be focusing mostly on the National Hockey League, the National Football League, National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball. If you have requests for other sports, let us know. The Following survey will help us know what teams to write about. Link: Favorite National Sports Teams
