FRYEBURG — In a lament common to many spring coaches, Bob Hodgman-Burns reports that his squad of boys lacrosse players at Fryeburg Academy will be young and inexperienced, having lost a year of skills and development to the COVID-less sports season of spring 2020. The 2021 Raiders will rely heavily on the leadership of senior midfield captain Will Galligan. Andrew Turner and Dominic Zimel are the only other players from the Class of 2021, and they lack the experience of Galligan.

Fortunately, starting at the defensive end, the Raiders have received solid play from first-year goalkeeper, sophomore Patrick Dross, who has played well despite coming under fire in a 12-0 scrimmage defeat to the Post-Graduate players of Bridgton Academy, and a 14-0 opening game defeat at traditional boys lax powerhouse North Yarmouth Academy (1-0) on April 17.
