Steve Craig reports primarily about Maine’s active high school sports scene and, more recently, the Portland Hearts of Pine men’s professional soccer team. His first newspaper job was covering Maine high school sports in 1986 working out of a tiny office in Skowhegan at the front of a hand-sewn shoe shop. After 12 years as a sportswriter in Dover, New Hampshire, he had a multi-year stint as the Portland Press Herald’s freelance motorsports writer. In 2012 he was happy to make a working return to Maine as a staff writer for the Press Herald. Steve was named the National Sports Media Association’s 2022 Maine Sportswriter of the Year, 27 years after winning the award for New Hampshire.
