When Troy Davis was executed in Georgia Wednesday night, I immediately thought of Dennis Dechaine. Dechaine is the Aroostook County native who was convicted in 1989 for the murder of Sarah Cherry in Bowdoinham.

JACKSON, Ga. - Georgia executed Troy Davis on Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer, a crime he denied committing right to the end as supporters around the world mourned and declared that an innocent man was put to death.

Manassas continued to roar through the neighborhood like Sherman through Georgia Wednesday. Only this time some different folks were lighting the bonfire in an 84-56 District 15-AA boys basketball rout at Trezevant. The night before, it was the Dontavious Sears show with 34 points in an 18-point win over Frayser. But after the 6-4 junior scored nine of his team's points in a 17-16 first-quarter, the rest of the night was a pass-around affair by the Tigers (15-6, 6-0).
