FRYEBURG — If the Fryeburg Academy boys’ lacrosse team looks like it's playing slower than in previous years this spring — that’s a good thing. It means the Raiders are playing the way Coach Bob Hodgman-Burns wants them to.
“I want us to not be playing 100 mph,” Hodgman-Burns said by phone last Wednesday. “If you look at Waynflete (the top team in the league and defending state champs), they’ve very deliberate in their style of play. It looks like they’re not rushing. I’d like to see some deliberate pace to our play. We want to possess the ball and to just rush around the field.”
