FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy boys’ basketball team, currently in a run of three consecutive tournament appearances, will hope to extend that streak to four, but with a style in marked contrast to recent perimeter-oriented teams. The Raiders boast seven players 6'2" and taller, and a strong international contingent, including players from Africa, Europe, the Bahamas and local towns of MSAD 32.

Veteran Coach Sedge Saunders knows that it may take time for the group to gel as a team, gain experiences to win together and to find player roles. For certain, the Raiders will look to get the ball inside on offense more than any of the shorter Saunders teams of the past three years.
