FRYEBURG — The morning began with a heavy mist, which turned into a thick drizzle and finally rain. Fortunately, the Class C playoff football game between Gardiner and hosts Fryeburg Academy was moved up by 2 hours to 11:30 a.m., making the weather a non-factor in the outcome. The No. 3 seeded Raiders jumped out to a 22-0 first-half lead and cruised to a 30-14 victory over the No. 6 seeded Tigers.
Fryeburg used its tough defensive and offensive lines to come away with the victory.
