He packed a punch

Saturday at Waterhouse Field, Biddeford quarterback Justin Gelinas made his first pass of the game a memorable one. Gelinas' pass went wide of the intended receiver and past the Marshwood sideline, then through the white latticework fence that surrounds the field, leaving a football-shaped hole.

Close doesn't cut it

Fryeburg Academy Coach Jim Thurston wants no doubt when it comes to his team's postseason prospects.

"Almost is for horseshoes and hand grenades," the 11th-year coach said after a 27-20 win Friday at York. "This was a huge win for us and we knew it."

The Raiders (5-2) are tied for York for third place in Western Class B, behind Cape Elizabeth and Mountain Valley, both 7-0 after Saturday. Fryeburg faces Greely at 7 p.m. Friday in Cumberland, then closes the season Oct. 27 at home against Lake Region.
