OAKLAND, Maine (AP) — The boy's high school soccer team in the Maine city that was the site of a mass shooting more than two weeks ago has won the state title.
The Lewiston Blue Devils beat Deering 3-2 on Saturday in the Class A boys’ soccer state championship game.
The shootings at a bowling alley and a nearby bar on Oct. 25 in Lewiston killed 18 people and injured 13 others, making it the deadliest mass shooting in Maine history.
“We have been saying the past few weeks, ‘Do it for the city,’” Lewiston goalie Payson Goyette told the Sun Journal.
“We just wanted to give back to the city with all they have gone through.
