FRYEBURG — The beautiful game is alive and kicking at Fryeburg Academy. Coach Dave Hart enters his fourth season on the sidelines with a record number of girls out for the soccer program. With almost 60 girls out depth won’t be a problem this fall.
“Our numbers are incredible,” Hart said by phone on Thursday. “We’re at 56 girls and counting. We initially had 46 girls on the roster but then several boarding students, probably eight to 10 came out to play. These sorts of numbers are a great problem to have.”
