FRYEBURG — Fryeburg Academy striker Jacob Adams scored literally on his first touch and definitely on his final touch to give the Raiders a thrilling 4-3 overtime home-opening victory in the local derby against rival Lake Region on Saturday.
In a physical contest that saw the Raiders play shorthanded with just 10 men for more than 70 minutes, the hosts were far and away the more talented of the sides and fully deserved to win on Adams’ golden goal with three minutes left in the second overtime period.
