BIDDEFORD — For four and a half minutes, the East had all the momentum to be found in the 23rd annual Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl. It took the East just six plays to score the game’s first touchdown. Then, five plays into the West’s first possession, Skowhegan’s Ethan Johnson intercepted a pass, giving the East the ball right back.

First her virginity, now her best friend
I have a very snobby friend who thinks anything sexual makes a girl a stupid slut. I recently lost my virginity. I feel like a sucky friend for not telling her but telling all of my non-school friends what happened. I think she’s going to be extremely judgmental, even though she has no idea what my ex and I went through and why I decided to lose it with him. It’s surprising because she’s pretty liberal when it comes to sexual orientation and religion –just not with sex. I don’t want to ruin our friendship because she might think I’m some dirty slut because I did it one time with one boy who I was comfortable with. AND we used protection. Should I tell her?
