Green Alert Take: The Hampshire Honor Society is yet another entity that has been turned upside down by the transfer portal and the COVID bonus year. At least four of Dartmouth's honorees are graduating but will be playing elsewhere next year. And Kyle Brown, Danny Cronin and Paxton Scott are returning for a fifth year with the Big Green.

Editor's Note: Should have included Kyle Brown and Paxton Scott in that listing.

This is sweet:

Maddie McCorkle, a former standout Hanover High School athlete, will be on the field for Duke Senior Day tomorrow. No idea if dad Sammy will make it to the game, but as they say in these parts, it would be "wicked cool" if he could find a way.

A midfielder, Maddie is tied for the team lead with two gamewinning goals this spring. She had 12 goals and six assists total for the 9-6 Blue Devils. Sister Allie McCorkle is a freshman on the lacrosse roster at Colorado.

EXTRA POINT
The latch that engages and disengages the hatchback on my EV went kaput on Monday. It's going in today for some diagnostics and if we are lucky, a fix. Or it may have to go back in a few days. Time will tell.

Here's the interesting part. We called the dealer about the issue and they asked about the mileage on the vehicle. They said if it was less than 36,000 the warranty would take care of the repair.

Did you notice what day I said the issue cropped up? Monday. If I'm doing the math right, the car went out of warranty either on the way up to watch the eclipse, or on the way back.

And you know what? It was worth it!
