A red card turned La Salle's 3-0 lead into a championship thriller

PROVIDENCE – What initially looked like a stroll to its latest boys soccer state title suddenly turned uncomfortable for La Salle. The Rams went down to 10 men after a red card and North Kingstown scored twice in barely a minute. A three-goal lead was cut to a razor-thin margin, and La Salle was holding on desperately. Championship composure was required, and the Rams managed to summon it just in time to walk away with the Division I crown. Lucas Vrees wound up with the winner as La Salle edged the Skippers, 3-2, under bright sunshine at Rhode Island College. Brad Laforest scored twice in the opening 17 minutes, and Vrees added a third just out of halftime. The Rams seemed poised to run away with a first championship since 2023 before North Kingstown made things interesting. La Salle ultimately lifted the trophy regardless at Alumni Stadium, its feelings ranging between celebration and relief. "We were out of sorts," La Salle captain Nate Jackson said. "Then we rallied, figured out what we needed to do and got it done." This one turned in a flash when Niko Konichev was shown a second yellow card and sent off in the 59th

Trendsetter: Meet Local Influencer Emily Scott James

Tell me how you got into dance. You started when you were two. Did you love it from the very beginning?. My mom brought me to a ballet class, and all the other girls were in full pink. I refused to wear pink. I said, ‘I’m going in all black.’ And the ballet teacher took me by the hand and brought me out mid-class back to my mom. She said, ‘She’s not ready for this.’ Now, having two-year-old twins myself, I’m like, ‘Are they ready?’ No, they are not ready. We moved back to Rhode Island when I was four, and that’s when I got into dance and fell in love with it.
