Good morning, Bangor.

Local therapy dog Koda is a 14-year-old rescue now competing in a national Pet Partners contest for Pet of the Year.

His owner and handler Stacey Coventry, who has volunteered in schools, colleges, and hospitals, says Koda could represent Maine—voting and fundraising will continue until April 14th.

Penobscot Theatre Company is performing Matinicus: A Lighthouse Play — a one-woman show with West Coast actor Katie Peabody portraying Abigail Burgess — at the Bangor Opera House through April 6.

The show tells the 1856 story of a Maine teenager who kept lighthouse lamps burning during a storm and uses strong set design to recreate her world.

The 2024-25 school year has seen big wins in Maine sports as Newport’s Cooper Flagg, a freshman at Duke who earned top national awards—making him one of only four players to win both the National Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year trophies—and UMaine’s hockey team won its first Hockey East Tournament title since 2004. Other teams, including UMaine basketball and soccer and the Caribou-Biddeford girls in a close overtime state final, have set the stage for more historic moments.

Cooper Flagg, a Maine native, scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists on Thursday to help Duke beat Arizona 100-93 and move into the Elite Eight at the Prudential Center in Newark.

He will play against Alabama today at 7:49 p.m.—continuing Duke's run in the NCAA championship.
