FRYEBURG — The wrestling Fryeburg Academy Raiders continue their growth as a program and return to prominence in Maine High School wrestling circles under the leadership of third-year Coach Chad Smith. The grapplers, with 14 wrestlers in the program, figure to fill at least nine of 12 weight classes at the varsity level on a regular basis (where five or six divisions were the norm in the 2018-19 season).
With two regular-season invitational tournament matches under their belts (Dec. 6 at Mountain Valley and Dec. 13 at Westbrook), Smith is excited about his team and the chances of three or more wrestlers competing at the state tournament level on Feb. 15 at the Wadsworth Arena in Fryeburg.
