(Senior Derek) Russell was listed as a wide receiver, but played quarterback for Newton South High School prior to attending Yale.
“It caught me by surprise a little bit actually,” Russell said of his position change. “I actually played defense last fall. I’ve moved around a lot, [so] I’m ready for whatever.”

Once again, the first BGA Moose Mountain hike is set for tomorrow at noon. We will meet at the trailhead for the Class of '66 Lodge (formerly known as the Harris Cabin). Everyone is welcome to join in a "moderate" hike that will take 2-3 hours.To get there from Hanover:
• Drive up East Wheelock from the Hanover Inn corner, past Alumni Gym, up, up, up the hill for about four miles miles until the road ends in a T.
• At the T turn left on Hanover Center Road, go past the Etna General store, past the Etna Library and fire station. After a minute or so you'll see a large barn on the right side of the road. Turn right just after the barn and before the Etna Green where you'll see a bunch of youth soccer goals. That will be Ruddsboro Road.
• Follow Ruddsboro 1.5 miles uphill through several S curves. At 1.5 miles on the left you will find Three Mile Road (our dirt road).
• Turn left on Three Mile and go about 1.2 miles, PAST a three-car parking area for the Appalachian Trail, past a huge house with a green roof on the left, and then immediately down into a swale. Don't come up the other side, but instead pull into the parking area. Cooper the Wonder Dog and I will be waiting for you there, which is the trailhead. ;-)
(You might want to bring a bottle of water.)
