FRYEBURG — The 2021 Fryeburg Academy girls’ tennis team is ready to make some noise this spring. After being sidelined in 2002 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Raiders return to the court in 2021 eager to make up for lost time and have a new coach with longtime ties to the program just as passionate.
“The Raiders have a passion and an inner belief that make them champions,” said Coach Chris Chaffee, who is thrilled to be back on the sidelines at FA.
