FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys’ soccer team hopes to put the 2017 season in the rear view mirror and to start a new run of tournament appearances to match their string of nine from 2008-2016. In actuality, this year's Raiders began to make the turn over the last half of 2017, when they reversed their early season form of one win and six losses to finish with five wins and nine losses, losing out to Wells and Gray-New Gloucester by one game for the final playoff spot.
“Losing 12 seniors, I didn’t think it would be as big of a deal as it was,” Bob Hodgman-Burns, Raiders’ head coach, said about 2017. “I think it took us a little while to (find their form). The players improved and never packed it in. At 1-6 halfway through the season it would have been easy for them to give up, but to their credit, they need did. The players played to the best of their ability right to the end.”
