FRYEBURG — As COVID-19 cases surge across the nation with the new Omicron strain spreading at a rapid rate, it’s having an impact on basketball in the Pine Tree State. The Fryeburg Academy girls’ basketball team has seen its last two games canceled due to the virus.
The Raiders (2-2) had been scheduled to travel to Gray, Maine, on Tuesday to play Gray-New Gloucester (4-1), but the Patriots are dealing with an uptick in COVID cases. No makeup date has been set yet.
