FRYEBURG — There were a number of student speakers at Fryeburg Academy’s Winter Sports Night recently. The Raiders spoke about their seasons, their coaches and teammates, highlighting accomplishments and memorable moments from the winter.
Scott Parker spoke for the boys’ basketball team: “Good evening everyone, I would like to state, on behalf of the boys’ basketball team, thank you to our bus drivers, trainers, coaches, athletic director and our parents. This season we had a lot of achievements of hosting and winning a prelim game, playing at the (Portland) Expo, but what our greatest accomplishment was the relationships. I think it turned out that it went from half the team to the full team wanting to beat up Calvin.
